On the server to see if maybe there isn't any unassigned IP available for the client.
 To make a portable low revision DDS backup for recovery, it is suggested to use a
DDS1 device file for creating a tape. Using the DDS1 device file makes the tape
compatible with other DDS tape drives. Creating a DDS1 device file:
o Look up the hardware path
# /usr/sbin/ioscan -fC tape
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
==============================================================
tape 0 8/16/5.6.0 stape CLAIMED DEVICE HP C1533A
o Create the device file
# /usr/sbin/mksf -v -H 8/16/5.6.0 -b DDS1 -n –a
This will create the device file, /dev/rmt/c1t6d0DDS1n, for example.
 If the client cannot be booted either from hard disk or from network, creating a
portable bootable tape which will then contact the next available Ignite-UX server.
o using make_medialif
# /opt/ignite/bin/make_medialif -m -l /tmp/helper.lif
# /usr/bin/dd if=/tmp/helper.lif of=/dev/rmt/c1t6d0DDS1n obs=2k
Note: Use a DDS1 device and block size of 2k as well as check that the correct
Ignite-UX server IP is set with
# /opt/ignite/bin/instl_adm –d
o using make_boot_tape
# /opt/ignite/bin/instl_adm -d > tmp_config_file
Edit the tmp_config_file as appropriate. Then create the bootable tape:
# /opt/ignite/bin/make_boot_tape -f tmp_config_file –v \
–d /dev/rmt/c1t6d0DDS1n
 Ignite-UX does not set the maximal physical extents (Max PE per PV)
correspondingly high enough to implement larger hard disk into the VG. These
parameters can be set on the Ignite-UX server.
