Need help on ignite backup script
Hi,
I need help for modifying the attached script to take ignite backup to tape.
Earlier I was using this script to take ignite backup of my server to snah5(server name in the script).
Now We have decommisioned the snah5 server and would like to take ignite backup of
my HP-UX machine (10.20) to the tape drive connected.
Please help...
Thanks
Gaby

Re: Need help on ignite backup script
Hi,
these are two different things so changing the script is not that simple.
To run the ignite on tape use 'make_tape_recovery' instead of make_net_recovery.

Re: Need help on ignite backup script
Your CMD should be
/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -a ${NTAPE}
where NTAPE is device name for Tape
ex: /dev/rmt/0m
-Goodluck
-USA..
/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -a ${NTAPE}
where NTAPE is device name for Tape
ex: /dev/rmt/0m
-Goodluck
-USA..
Good Luck..

Re: Need help on ignite backup script
Hi Gaby:
Using Ignite to make a recovery tape is easy:
#!/usr/bin/sh
/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn
IGNITE_RC=$?
if (( $IGNITE_RC != 1 ))
then
mt -t /dev/rmt/0m offl > /dev/null 2>&1
fi
mailx -s "IGNITE Notification (rc=${IGNITE_RC})" root < /dev/null
exit 0
...
This will create a recovery tape of all of vg00. Change the tape device if necessary. The result (success or failure) of the operation will be mailed to the root account (under which this should run). If successful, the tape will be ejected from its drive for "safety".
Regards!
