volume groups as input to make_tape_recovery command or migrate all those unsupported volume
group version to 2.2 or higher (using LVM’s Volume Group Version migration tool, vgversion) and rerun
the command.
DEPENDENCIES
The Ignite-UX GUI must be run from the Ignite-UX Server, see ignite(5). make_tape_recovery
depends on several other Ignite-UX tools. When running the Ignite-UX server GUI, Ignite-UX checks
whether the client system that make_tape_recovery runs on has the same versions of Ignite-UX
tools.
If running make_tape_recovery from the command line without ever interacting with the Ignite-UX
GUI, commands will need to be installed using swinstall(1M) from the Ignite-UX server to the client sys-
tem on which make_tape_recovery will be run.
make_tape_recovery requires the following filesets of the Ignite-UX product be installed on the
system:
Ignite-UX.RECOVERY
Ignite-UX.BOOT-KERNEL
Ignite-UX.FILE-SRV-release
Ignite-UX.MGMT-TOOLS
AUTHOR
Ignite-UX and make_tape_recovery were developed by the Hewlett-Packard Company.
DIAGNOSTICS
All major steps within network recovery are logged on the server and displayed via the Ignite-UX Server
GUI.
FILES
make_tape_recovery
always stores the archive on the local tape but may store its configuration, log, and status files
either locally or on an Ignite-UX server specified by the -s server option. If
make_tape_recovery stores its configuration files locally, the directory
/var/opt/ignite/recovery is used to store the following files. If
make_tape_recovery uses the server to store the files, the
/var/opt/ignite/clients/0xLLA/recovery directory will be used. The following list
is the configuration directory and files as found on the server. To hav e a full list of configuration,
log, and status files on the local system, substitute the local directory for the server directory.
/opt/ignite/recovery/mnr_essentials
Lists the files and directories that are considered essential and are always included in the archive if
they exist on the system.
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/mnr_essentials
Lists the files and directories that are essential, but acts as the user modifiable version so that the
original mnr_essentials file may be maintained. When this file exists, its content is checked before
the file /opt/ignite/recovery/mnr_essentials.
/var/opt/ignite/clients/0xLLA/recovery
The per-clients recovery directory. It holds the client’s recovery configuration, log, and status files
as described below.
/var/opt/ignite/clients/0xLLA/recovery/archive_content
Supplies files and directories to be included or excluded. Using the -x command line arguments
will cause this file to be ignored.
/var/opt/ignite/clients/0xLLA/recovery/latest
A symlink to the date,time directory containing the newest set of recovery files as described below.
