make_net_recovery(1M) make_net_recovery(1M)
-f content_file
Location of the file which identifies keywords to specify inclusions and exclusions for the
archive. The default is
/var/opt/ignite/clients/0xLLA/recovery/archive_content. This
default file is located on the Ignite-UX server and accessed by the client through an NFS
mount. The absolute path name to the archive_content file must be supplied as an
argument to the -f option. This option may be useful when there is a desire to manage
multiple files which specify the content of the archive. The -f option is not allowed
when using the -x or -A options to specify the contents of the archive. (See the
Including and Excluding From Archive section for file format.)
-i Causes make_net_recovery to run interactively to allow selection of files and
directories that are to be included in the recovery archive. The options -x, -A and -f
are not allowed with -i. It is preferable to use the ignite GUI menu command on
the Ignite-UX server when running an interactive make_net_recovery session.
Running it from ignite ensures that any server configuration of NFS mounts is
already done. It also provides a better progress report and an easier to use interface.
-l LLA
The LLA (link-level address) of the system being archived. Used to create the per-client
directory on the Ignite-UX server.
-n number_archives
Specifies the number of archives that should remain on the server at any giv en time. The
default is two (2). If number_archives is two and there are already two archives present
when a third is being created, make_net_recovery will remove the oldest archive
after successfully creating the newest archive.
-p Previews the processing that would take place without actually creating the archive. This
is a way of verifying the directory /var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest (which
is linked to the latest archive directory of the form
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/date,time) on the local (client) system. To access
this directory on a specified Ignite-UX server, the directory is located at
/var/opt/ignite/clients/0xLLA/recovery/date,time. The directory con-
tains the files archive_cfg, control_cfg, and system_cfg that were created
with the configuration information desired. It also contains the file flist that lists the
files that make up the archive. It is best not to modify this file. However, it may be edited
to exclude some files/directories from the archive by deleting the entire line, if desired.
Only files or directories that are known to be user created should be deleted. The files
that end in _cfg contain configuration information that may be changed. For example,
converting from HFS to VxFS. No further checks are done by make_net_recovery.
The creation of the System Recovery Archive may then be resumed using the -r option.
-P s|w|e
When a disk or volume group is partially included in the system recovery archive, gener-
ate an ERROR (e), WARNING (w), or SUPPRESS (s) any warning messages that would
normally be generated when partial inclusions occur. The default is w, causing WARN-
ING messages to be produced when partial inclusions of disks and/or volume groups are
detected. When e is specified, an error message will be displayed to both stdout and to
the log file, and execution of make_net_recovery will stop once the error message
is displayed.
-m tar|cpio|pax
Specify in which format (tar, pax,orcpio) the files/directories image in the archive
will be stored. tar, pax,orcpio may be specified. If this option is not specified,
tar is the default format.
-r Resumes creation of the System Recovery Archive after the -p option was used to cre-
ate the /var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest directory, and its *_cfg files
