How can I make configuration file additions to all recovery configurations for a given
client?
Create a new Ignite-UX configuration file called /var/opt/ignite/clients/0x<LLA>/
recovery/config.local. This config.local file is automatically included into your recovery
configuration for this client each time you run the make_net_recovery command. The
make_net_recovery command is run for you when you use the Ignite-UX GUI for network
recovery.
If you already have recovery configurations for this client and would like them to include the
config.local file, edit the /var/opt/ignite/clients/0x<LLA>/CINDEX file to include
a reference to recovery/config.local in all of the configuration clauses.
How can I select from the standard file system layouts during a recovery?
It is possible to change the configuration of your disks when you recover from an image saved by
make_net_recovery. To do so, modify the /var/opt/ignite/clients/0x<LLA>/CINDEX
file for the client you are recovering.
The CINDEX file contains one or more configuration clauses that refer to the recovery images you
have previously created with make_net_recovery. Add a new configuration file entry to the
clause from which you intend to recover. If you want to add the HP standard file system choices,
add the file:
# /opt/ignite/data/Rel_<release>/config
where <release> is the operating system release on the client you intend to recover. For example,
/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.23/config is added for a client with the HP-UX 11.23
operating system. This new configuration file entry must be the first entry in the clause you are
modifying.
When you launch the Ignite-UX during recovery, select the file system type in the Basic tab.
I replaced the client machine and the LAN address is now different. How can I restore
the new machine from the old client network recovery archive?
Separate directory is used for each client under /var/opt/ignite/clients. Each subdirectory
is named based on the client's LAN address (MAC address, LLA, and so on).
If you replace the client hardware or the LAN card that the old LAN address was based on, then
it can no longer access the same directory on the Ignite-UX server.
The simplest solution is to obtain the new LAN address, which you can do from the boot-ROM
console using a command like LanAddress (the actual command might vary depending on the
hardware architecture). Once you have the new address then manually rename the directory under
