Replicating Ignite server

[Adam Noble]

Hi,

I have a bit of an issue due to firewall restrictions. I want to upgrade a server we have which is on another subnet to our ignite server and there are port restrictions in place. I therefore thought the safest option was to install Ignite on another server on the same subnet and copy the image to this server. Can anyone see any problems with this. The way I see it I simply need to do the following. To clarify I have re-built the server as 11.11 on a test server. The data is static as its A DR box.

Copy the /var/opt/ignite/client/server directory

Copy the /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/server directory

Edit the archive.cfg file to point to new ignite server

Edit /etc/exports and ensure access allowed for server being restored. exportfs -av

Ensure host file has appropriate entries on client and server.

Ensure temporary IP available in /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab

Any other considerations?

Cheers

Hi Adam,

It looks fine like this. May be some more points to check :

- Ensure the directories you have copied are 755 bin:bin, the files under client are 644 bin:sys and the files under recovery are 600 bin:sys

- Verify /etc/inetd.conf to meet the following lines :

tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/tftpd tftpd\
/opt/ignite\
/var/opt/ignite

bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/bootpd bootpd

instl_boots dgram udp wait root /opt/ignite/lbin/instl_bootd instl_bootd
