Need Dummies Guide Instructions for using make_net_recovery.

[Jack C. Mahaffey]

I have a server that does not have a tape drive. I looked at some of the documentation and man pages on Ignite and make_net_recovery and seemed to be overwhelmed by the available info.

Could someone send me copies of sample scripts and steps for using make_net_recovery?

There is documentaiton of using an HP-IGNITE server? Does this require another license and should it only reside on one host? There is also talk of booting the client. The client in my case will be another production server. Do I really need to reboot this guy in order to configure make_net_recovery?

Any help will be appreciated. Don't have time to take an Ignite class. I need a quick and dirty method to get make_net_recovery archives created...

Better yet, try the technical paper /opt/ignite/share/doc/makerecnet.txt

It gives very detailed instructions on how to set up, archive and recover using make_net_recovery.

The papers are place there after you have installed the Ignite product.

I'm finding the web document very useful over the the one on the system. Currently trying it. Thanks for the references to all.
