Ignite-UX Frequently Asked Questions

situation:
- Wait until the client is recovered and then execute the following VxVM
command:
# vxassist -g rootdg addlog homevol logtype=dco
Repeat execution of this command until all the DCO volumes are restored.
or
- Manually create an Ignite-UX configuration file that executes the
VxVM commands as part of the actual recovery process. This method
integrates the VxVM commands into an Ignite-UX configuration file.
For make_net_recovery, create a new Ignite-UX configuration file
called /opt/ignite/clients/0x<LLA>/recovery/config.local; while for
make_tape_recovery, create a new file called
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/config.local. The respective config.local
file is automatically included in your recovery configuration for
this client each time make_net_recovery/make_tape_recovery is run.
An example of a config.local file that restores DCO log volumes
after the recovery completes follows:
###### Begin user changes to add DCO log volumes #######
post_config_cmd +="
vxassist -g rootdg addlog homevol logtype=dco
"
###### End user changes to add DCO log volumes ######
After creating this config.local file, it is a good practice to run
"instl_adm -T -f config.local" to ensure that the syntax is
correct.
Commands in post_config_cmd are executed automatically after the
client is restored.

Q: Are the layered/striped/mirrored VxVM volumes included in the
recovery archive when a client recovery archive is created?
A: No. The make_tape_recovery and make_net_recovery tools do not back
up the layered/striped/mirrored VxVM volumes. You need to perform
the following actions during and after the recovery:
- During recovery, since the volume definition for
layered/striped/mirrored volumes may not exist, you may need to
manually define a volume for recovery and resize other volumes
appropriately. Ignite-UX may have adjusted the size of other
volumes so the client could be recovered. However, this may fail
due to a lack of disk space and force an interactive recovery. In
any event, you should choose an interactive recovery then verify
that the VxVM volume layout will be appropriate after recovery.
- After recovery you need to recreate the original volume
configuration. In other words, set up the previous
layered/striped/mirrored VxVM volume configuration.

Q: Can I run make_tape_recovery/make_recovery in single user mode? If
so, how?
A: Yes. You can use these tools after booting or shutting down to
single user mode. Choose the appropriate procedure for your
situation.
After you have booted to single user mode, use this procedure:
1. Mount all file systems:
# /sbin/mountall
