Reg:ignite back up.

Can you confirm me make_tape_recovery command with required options?

What is the command to check data written on DAT-72 tape of ignite backup?

The Full process is listed here ,just cross
check if you have similar entries in /etc/exports & exportfs -av ( server side )
shows that the directory "/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives" is exported or not.

You can add the clients later.

The directory is to be exported from server
side ,and clients needs to be added from the
client side. It`s not that complicated -)

1. create the client directory in the ignite server server
"mkdir -p /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/ServerB"

2. chown bin:bin /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/ServerB

3. edit with vi /etc/exports in the ignite server
"/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/ServerB -anon=2,access=ServerB"

4. run the following command in the ignite server
"exportfs -av"

5. and in teory you should be able to run the ignite backup now in ServerA
"make_net_recovery -s " -x inc_entire=vg00

Hope this helps.

If your tape was created on a PA-RISC server, do:

# mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn rew
# mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn fsf 1
# tar -tvf /dev/rmt/0m

If your tape was created on an Itanium, do:

# mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn rew
# mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn fsf 22
# tar -tvf /dev/rmt/0m

The below is the command to take te backup of entire vg00 volume group

make_tape_recovery -AvI -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/0mn

-a
if you want to exclude some filesystem use
-x exclude=/dev/vg00/lvol5

Below command is used for check your status of tape drive whether tape is mounted or not.
mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn status


This will give the complete log of your ignite backup

tail /var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest/recovery.log

to check the data on tape

tar -tvf /dev/rmt/0m

>>>

/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -I -v -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/Nmn ( Where N is the tape drive device number for your tape drive, I-interactive, v-verbose, x is include)
use man page of make_tape_recovery have got lot options

What is the command to check data written on DAT-72 tape of ignite backup?

#mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn st

# mt -f /dev/rmt/?mn fsf 1 <- fast forward

# tar -tvf /dev/rmt/?mn <-- just reading the content of teh tape
