for and its identity includes hostname, IP_address, networking
information, and so on. In the event of a root disk failure, you use the
Ignite-UX server to restore the system by installing the recovery archive.
The contents of the system recovery archive always includes all files and
directories which are essential to bringing up a functional system. This
“essential” list is pre-defined by make_net_recovery. You can run
make_net_recovery in its interactive mode to review the directories and
files which make up the “essential list,” and also add or remove other
data from the archive on a disk/volume group, file, or directory basis.
For more information on using make_net_recovery, see the
make_net_recovery (1M) manpage or Chapter 11 of the Ignite-UX
Administration Guide.
