Not by default, unless you have some post-script or changed it in the ignite restore gui. It should all remain the same.

Hi,

Ignite will not modify any file.

What is modified on /etc/ntp.conf file?

hi

Please have a llok at the poat load script at the /var/opt/ignite/data/os_arch_post_l

see for if any save or merge entry for the /etc/ntp.conf is there.

or as said earlier that can also die to choosing the Advanced Ignite restoration Inatall Option and choosing from there.
regards
sujit

but after the system recovery, i found that there is an additional being added at the end of the file /etc/ntp.conf

Sujit has the right idea.

Look in /opt/ignite/data/scripts/os_arch_post_l

This is the post-load script that runs for every Ignite load, including tape recovery.

This script assumes that you want to merge data into and modify /etc/ntp.conf by default.

This script also lists all the config files that Ignite will try to customize.

hi Scot,

thx for the information, but i only can see the following line related to ntp.conf

"merge_file /etc/ntp.conf"

may i know what it means? or where can i get more information about the file os_arch_post_l?

thx for the help.

Yes, that is the line. See the comments in that script above the line you found.

Also see this section of the Ignite Admin Guide:
http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-5309/ch15s02.html under "Verifying Recovery Image Results"

The comments I directed you to say:

"
# The files below that are operated on by "merge_file", are files
# that Ignite-UX is allowed to modify based on the information in the
# config file or from the UI. If you do not want to have IUX touch
# these files at all, you can change the merge_file to a save_file.
# However, if you make this change, any changes to their content via
# the user interface will be ignored.
#
# For example if "merge_file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf" is changed to
# a "save_file", then that file will always be preserved. And any
# changes to the hostname and IP address in the user-interface will
# not be made to the file.
"

You may also have an Ignite config file somewhere that is setting the NTP server.
