PA RISC HPUX 11.23 Ignite c.6.8.152

Hi all. I am getting "volume group x will be only partially included in System Recovery Archive" message from make_tape_recovery. Can anyone clue me in as to why? I am not using any exclude statements, and my tape media is much larger than my disks. I have included the command I run and then the recovery log.

Thanks in advance.

command:
/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/0mn -x inc_cross=/

You should have specified "-A" option which includes all files and directories.

Some files might be open and active. Is application files also installed in vg00 ?

You better specify the following command:

make_tape_recovery -s myserver -x inc_entire=vg00

[Pete Randall]

If you really want to include vg01, I would suggest using the "inc_entire" option:

make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/0mn -I -x inc_entire=vg00 -x inc_entire=vg01

However, I would also caution against doing this. The normal convention is to use Ignite for only your root volume group and use conventional backup/restore for your data.

Hi,
I think Pete was resolved this one:

Have your tried it with -x inc_entire=vg00.

[Chrisl_2]

I get the same message when I use inc_entire=vg00. I am going to try the -A flag. I will post results.

Thanks

[Chrisl_2]

Well it looks like the error message disappears when I use the -A flag. Like always, I appreciate the fantastik reponses!

[Bill Hassell]

You might have been confusing the obsolete make_recovery options with the options for make_tape_recovery -- there is little in common between the two versions, especially on the command line. Likie all Unix commands, a review of each option is the first place to start. The -A option is somewhat ambiguous based on the description. What you want is a vg00 bootable backup which will pause during the restorationj process to allow you to change things like disk layouts, IP address, etc. This is a good option list to use:

make_tape_recovery -I -v -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/0mn

-I for interactive restore
-v for verbose during the backup
