Where to store the make_net_recovery

[Ronelle A van Niekerk]

Forgive me for my ignorance, but I am pretty new to the ignite server side of things.

I can't find anything in the documentation on how to set up the ignite server to store the images in a specific place.
Or is that included in the make_net_recovery command somehow?

Hi Ronelle,

You can use the -a option of make_net_recovery to specify the path.

make_net_recovery -a igniteserver:/path
Refer to the man page of make_net_recovery for more info.

Brilliant, thanks, next time I'll RTFM.

Actually, this didn't work so well.
I ran:
make_net_recovery -s ignite-server -a archive_server:archive_directory -x inc_entire=vg00

And it still put the files in the /var/opt/ignite/clients nfs mounted directory.

Shalom,

Ignite can't write to a samba share.

You need an nfs mount point with write permissions.

-a hostname:/nfs_share_with_write_permissions

That's not a samba share, but you're right, I will have to nfs_mount the right directory. or create links on the ignite server side.

Hi Ronelle,

You need not mount the NFS mount point on the client side. Just put an entry in /etc/exports on the Ignite server & do an exportfs -av. Then try running the make_net_recovery command as you did specifying the NFS exported directory name.

Already done.
