Question About Ignite

[Pete G]

I am currrently involved in a project to relocate our disaster recovery site from Philly to London. I am concerned about data being erased by detectors during shipping of the Ignite tapes, and the spares I will be carring on me. This brings me to the question...can you issue a make_recovery command from a machine in, say, New York, to another server in London? I was thinking of something like "make_recovery -A "remote_machine_host" /dev/rmt/0m. I couldn't find a way from looking at the man pages. This is basically just a way to curb my pessimism concerning the numerous Ignite tapes I have already made ;)

man make_net_recovery.

Hi,
With an Ignite server, located in London this would be possible (but perhaps slow).

[Jannik]

yes but do it like this:
/opt/ignite/bin/make_net_recovery -A -n 3 -v -P s -s

Hi

you need to setup a ignite server on on of your systems and backup all the agents to a disk that you can later backup to DLT or move the disk to another system .

it is not very easy to set up a ignite server but also not very hard .

please go to this link :
http://www.software.hp.com/products/IUX/download.html

and download the last ignite product .
you will find a pdf about ignite admin .

after you are installing the ignite server you need to run ignite& and i gui will popup .

this gui is the ignite server gui for doing net recovery backup .

you just need to add all the system that you need to install by the ignite and to do a make_net_recovery .

[Jannik]

is the name of the ignite server.

Sorry!

Ignite tape to remote tape drive is not possible.

Use make_net_recovery to create a image on the ignite server then you can create a bootable tape from there.

check the document at

/opt/ignite/share/doc/makenetrec.txt
which has the information
