Q: How do I duplicate a tape made with make_tape_recovery?
A: For this information, refer to copy_boot_tape(1M). For information

Q: How do I deal with hot-swappable disk devices during recovery?
A: Ignite-UX only supports hot-swappable disks that are completely
installed and present when creating a recovery image. Proper
software and hardware procedures must be used for hot swap disk
removal or replacement before or after recovery, but not during. The
LVM command lvlnboot used by save_config does not work when a disk is
removed and the system is in this transitional state. If this
command is not working, then recovery has no chance of succeeding.
Please also refer to the discussion regarding SAS disks in the
Ignite-UX release notes for Version C.6.8.

Q: What is the maximum amount of data that a make_tape_recovery tape
can hold?
A: A make_tape_recovery tape can hold as much data as will fit on the
tape. If make_tape_recovery is run in the foreground it prompts for
more tapes if they are necessary.
Note that to include files larger than 2GB but less than 8GB you may
need to install patches. On HP-UX 11.11 you must have PHCO_28414 or
later installed. On HP-UX B.11.23 you should have PHCO_31634 or
later installed. Otherwise files will be limited to being less than
4GB in size.
