[Yong Wai Choon]

Hi,
Please find below my system setup:
# bdf

If I want to perform make_tape_recovery for my system and I want to exclude the followings:
/disc1, /disc2, /disc4, /disc6 & /disc8
Could I use the following command:
# make_tape_recovery -A -x exclude=/disc1 -x exclude=/disc2 -x
exclude=/disc4 -x exclude=/disc6 -x exclude=/disc8 -a /dev/rmt/0mn
Please help. Thanks.

hi,

i would go with this:

# /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exclude=/disc1 -x exclude=/disc2 -x exclude=/disc4 -x exclude=/disc6 -x exclude=/disc8 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn


regards.
(p.s. please remember to assign points.)

Yong-Wai,

always, used the '-p' option to make_tape_recovery, before you just cron the run. -p is PreView mode, no execution.

the -x exclude=/File_system -x exclude=/File_system2

is the correct option., but..



what version of Ignite do you have ?
# swlist -l product |grep -i ignite
you might want to install the current version.

also, what version of Pax do you have ?
# swlist -l product | grep -i pax

you might want to load the current 'pax', which is used for ignite.

# swlist -l product |grep -i ignite

Hi Yong,

How about unmounting file systems which are to be excluded and remounting again after completing the ignite.

Cheers !!!

Yong,

try the Preview (-p) along with the
-x inc_entire=/dev/vg00

example:
make_tape_recovery -A -x inc_entire=/dev/vg00 -x exclude=/disc4 -x exclude=/disc6 -x exclude=/disc8 -p

note: use the 'inc_entire'

Thank you guys.
