Recovery option

[Jason_216]

hi guy, i'm new in this recovery thing, is that any other option to recovery my system, except using make_recovery command.
the system that i used was rp server with disk mirroring , HP11i OS and a dds 4 tape drive.

[Steven E. Protter · Accepted solution]

1.) use make_tape_recovery
make_tape_recvoery -AV -x inc_entire=vg00

make_recovery is obsolete.

2.) there have been improvements in Ignite/UX. go to software.hp.com and get a fresh copy.

3.) Ignite is not a complete recovery strategy. it will not be able to properly backup open databases like oracle. You need to have the databases shut down and use fbackup or use a tool like data protector or veritas or rman to get good backups into another format.

Hi,

Yes, The Ignite-UX is the best tool for recovery OS as long as I know. Any solution or Option??

Hum..I am not sure that OS media is alternative one,just I think.

Disk mirroring is hardware-fault tolerence.
And so, It don't protect OS's availability from a user's mistake. For example, In accident, a user executes rm command.

I heard the above case many times.
So, I recommand dd or make_tape_recovery for OS recovery.
I think OS disk mirroring is less useful than dd command because User's mistake happens more than disk fault.

I am sorry writing english is bad.

Good day~~ .

There are several recovery options from IGNITE

1.Building a image of your system on a tape using make_tape_recovery.

2.Archiving the image on the network.make_net_recovery is used for that.

check for the white paper at /opt/ignite/share/doc

I've always used
make_tape_recovery -Av
We then use TSM to recover all the non vg00 disk
