make_tape_recovery -A
make_tape_recovery -s myserver -A
Create a system recovery tape that includes files from all file systems in the vg00 volume group:
make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00
make_tape_recovery -s myserver -x inc_entire=vg00
Create a system recovery tape that includes all of the vg00 and vg01 volume groups, but that excludes the
/depots directory:
make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -x inc_entire=vg01
-x exclude=/depots
make_tape_recovery -s myserver -x inc_entire=vg00 -x inc_entire=vg01
-x exclude=/depots
Preview the creation of the System Recovery Tape:
make_tape_recovery -p
Create a System Recovery Tape that contains the entire root volume group which will run interactively
when used and contains a custom tape title:
make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 \
-I -t "Pre-upgrade recovery tape"
Use the -u option to have the Ignite-UX software automatically updated when needed from the Ignite
server:
make_tape_recovery -s myserver -a /dev/rmt/1mn -A -u
This example assumes that the /var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds software
depot has been created on the Ignite server. This depot is created by running the ignite GUI at
least once to make a recovery tape of a system or by running pkg_rec_depot (see also
pkg_rec_depot(1M)). Once created, this depot will automatically be updated each time Ignite-UX
is updated on the server, assuming this is not a stand-alone recovery tape creation session:
Use the -x option to pass arguments to the print_manifest command. In this example the -d option
will be passed so that disk capacity collection via diskinfo is skipped to improve performance. Also
the -e option will be passed which causes the output file to be printed with HP-PCL3 control codes for
enhanced printer output.
make_tape_recovery -s myserver -A -x print_manifest_args="-de"
WARNINGS
General Backup/Recover Not Recommended
The make_tape_recovery toolset is intended only to create or recover a recovery archive. The recov-
ery archive will include the operating system and a reasonable amount of user data. It is NOT intended to
be a general purpose backup and restoration tool, and should not be used for that objective.
Creating and Restoring from a Minimal-Recovery Archive
Creating a minimal-recovery archive means creating a recovery archive that contains just enough informa-
tion to bring a system back up into a minimal-operating state. This allows you to then restore all additional
information from a backup created with a general backup/restore utility.
When restoring from a minimal-recovery archive, the boot process will often contain errors due to the miss-
ing content. These errors are corrected once the regular system backup is restored and the system is
rebooted.
Once the system has been rebooted, you may see the following note:
