Ignite-UX (IUX) Frequently Asked Questions (July 2013)

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.
