NAME
check_net_recovery − compare contents of network recovery image to a running system
SYNOPSIS
/opt/ignite/bin/check_net_recovery -s Ignite-UX_server [-?]
DESCRIPTION
check_net_recovery compares the files on a currently running system with a network recovery
archive created by make_net_recovery. A list of files on the current system is compared to the list
of files in the archive, and a report is generated showing those files that have been added, deleted, and
changed since the archive was created.
The system administrator may use this report to assist in determining whether a new archive should be cre-
ated with make_net_recovery.
Options
check_net_recovery recognizes the following options:
-s Ignite-UX_server
Specifies the hostname of the Ignite-UX server containing the recovery archive.
-? Displays the help screen.
Report Format
The check_net_recovery report consists of for sections: files added, files deleted, files changed, and
a one-line summary.
Lines beginning with Added: list those files that have been added under locations archived by
make_net_recovery since the recovery image was created. These files will be lost if the system is
recovered from the archive.
Lines beginning with Deleted: list the files that have been deleted from locations archived by
make_net_recovery since the recovery image was created. These files will reappear if the system is
recovered from the archive.
Lines beginning with Changed: list those files in the archive which have been modified, and indicates
which attributes have changed (mode, modification time, or size). It also displays the values of these
attributes in the archive and on the running system. The format of the record is a line beginning with the
string Changed:, followed by the path of the file, followed by a tab-separated list of modification
records indicating which attributes have changed.
Changed: <file path>[TAB]moderec[TAB]mtimerec[TAB]sizerec
where moderec is of the form
mode: oldmode --> currentmode
mtime: oldtime --> currenttime
size: oldsize --> currentsize
Only the modification records corresponding to those attributes that have changed are displayed.
The final line of the report begins with the word Summary: and the total number of files in the archive,
on the system, and the number of files added, deleted, and changed on the system since the archive was cre-
ated.
It is important to note that check_net_recovery only compares files in locations archived by
make_net_recovery. See make_net_recovery(1M), in particular the discussion of the -f con-
tent_file and -x content-options arguments and the Including and Excluding From Arc hive
section. Files added, removed, or modified outside of the locations included in the archive are not analyzed
by check_net_recovery and are not included in the summary statistics printed at the end of the report.
