make_tape_recovery to only include vg00, but vg01 also included?

[Hanry Zhou]

I use the command to make a recovery tape:
/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn

However, the message shows vg01 also partially included. By looking into recovery.log file, it seems two logical volumes in vg01 are included, and they are all mounted as /etc/opt/...:
/dev/vg01/lvol4 /etc/opt/xyz
/dev/vg01/lvol5 /etc/opt/abc

How did that happen? what I can do to exclude these two vg01 file systems. I used the option of inc_entire=vg00, so vg01 should not be included.

Thanks,

Hanry,

Have the files in these directories really been included, or has ignite just included the soft link references out of /etc/opt (which would be in vg00).

Certainly the syntax you have used is correct, and you should not have any files forn vg01 in your archive.

Cheers,

Tony.

Hi,

--
The contents of the system recovery archive will always include all files and directories that are considered essential to bringing up a functional system. This essential list is pre-defined by make_tape_recovery and is located in the following file:

/opt/ignite/recovery/mnr_essentials

/etc is an essential filesystem, you will need to exclude the /etc/opt/xyz etc filesystems.

# /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exclude=/etc/opt/xyz -x exclude=/etc/opt/abc -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn

Hope this helps
