Restoring from the Network Recovery Archive
Please see chapter "Booting and installing an HP-UX client”.
Note: If there are problems installing from a make_net_recovery archive, check the
/var/opt/ignite/clients/CINDEX file and the config files mentioned in the CINDEX file. Also
make sure that the archive is exported via NFS.
Creating a Bootable Recovery Tape with a make_net_recovery
Archive
Note: It is important that the archive fits onto a single tape.
Example: The hostname is sys1, the recovery archive is named “2012-01-12,09:00”
Creating the LIF header (Boot Header)
# /usr/bin/cd /var/opt/ignite/clients/sys1/recovery/2012-01-12,09:00
# /opt/ignite/bin/make_medialif \
-f system_cfg -f control_cfg -f archive_cfg \
-C "2012-01-12,09:00 sys1 recovery image" \
-a -l /var/tmp/my_lif
Now modify the LIF file to set it up for use on the tape:
# /opt/ignite/bin/instl_adm -d -F /var/tmp/my_lif > /var/tmp/cfg
Edit the /var/tmp/cfg file and add the following lines to the end of the file:
control_from_server=FALSE
run_ui=TRUE
Or, if you just want the recovery to proceed without any interaction, make run_ui FALSE and
specify to allow warnings, as shown in the following:
