network make_recovery to another systems

[Eileen Millen]

We have made a network make_recovery image of
one of our compute servers. We would like to recover it to another compute server. They are identical systems. Is this possible?
If it is, where and how do I specify which image to recover from?
Is the Golden Image the preferred way to do this?

If you are using the GUI Ignite tool, then there should be a place to specify which image to use when re-installing a machine.

This should come up when you do a 'Actions -> Install Client -> New Install' from the Ignite tool.

In the Ignite admin guide, it says that you
have to copy the /var/opt/ignite/clients/LLA/CINDEX file into the LLA directory for the new system. You have to also copy the archive image directory into a directory with the new systems name in
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/
When I did this, it did list the archives from the other system. There seems to be a problem with my archive swap space, now.
