Recovery machine

[Enzo Tano]

Hi,

I have a doubt, when recovery a machine from a make_recovery previous maked, the VGs not equal to vg00 for example vg01, I can see after the recovery?

Thanks, Enzo.

Hi Enzo,

When you recover a box by a make_tape_recovery over a different hardware you must to stop the booting process in order to define the new hardware, like redistribution of vg's.

make_recovery will restore all of vg00 and for any other vg's simply create the /dev/VGxx files and their group files, but nothing else.
you will manually need to vgimport the volume groups (except vg00 of course) after the restore.

Hi

depends on how you set it up.

can be done to see after recovery.

Verifying Archive Contents
What files will be
archived?
To list the files and directories that will be included in a
make_net_recovery archive, enter:
/opt/ignite/lbin/list_expander -l -f input_file
What files will be
recovered?
To list disks or volume groups that will be re-created during an installation
from a make_net_recovery configuration, enter this from the client:
/opt/ignite/lbin/list_expander -d -f input_file
where: input_file is a file specifying what is to be archived. See the
make_net_recovery(4) manpage for details on the format of the input_file.
make_net_recovery can take input from an input file, no input, or input
from the command line with the -x option. list_expander can take input
from an input file, or no input, but does not have an x option like
make_net_recovery does, so to see the result of using x options, put them
in a file and pass list_expander the file name.
If you used the ignite to specify what is to be included in the archive,
then the input file can be found on the server in:
/var/opt/ignite/clients/ client/recovery/archive_content
You can copy this file from the server to the client, then run
list_expander against that file itself.
Omitting -f input_file causes list_expander to use only the essential
files as input. This will show what disks or volume groups will get
re-created for the minimal archive. Here???s an example output:
In? dsk/vg name minor# Associated disks
0 d /dev/dsk/c0t3d0
1 v /dev/vg00 0x00 /dev/dsk/c0t6d0
/dev/dsk/c0t4d0
0 v /dev/vg01 0x01 /dev/dsk/c0t1d0
0 v /dev/vg02 0x02 /dev/dsk/c0t2d0
The dsk/vg column shows that the system has one whole disk (d) and System Recovery
Archive Creation Steps
three volume groups (v). The next column gives the names of the disks
and volume groups. The In? column shows, for each disk or volume
group, if it will be:
2 = included in full (INC_ENTIRE dsk/vg specified),
1 = included in part (some files included, some not), or
0 = not included at all (no files from this dsk/vg are included).
0 means the disk or volume group will not be touched. 1 or 2 means that
the disk or volume group will be re-created, and files from the archive
will be restored during a recovery operation.
