Then, issue the following command:
# /opt/ignite/bin/instl_adm -F /var/tmp/my_lif -f /var/tmp/cfg
Writing the LIF Header and the network recovery archive onto tape
Create a DDS1 device file if you do not have one already. A DDS1 device file is compatible with
most tape drives:
# /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
# /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. Rewind the tape and
write the LIF Header and the archive onto the tape:
# /usr/bin/mt -t /dev/rmt/c1t0d0DDS1n rew
# /usr/bin/dd if=/var/tmp/my_lif of=/dev/rmt/c1t0d0DDS1n obs=2k
# /usr/bin/dd \
if=/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/sys1/2002-03-12,09:00
of=/dev/rmt/c1t0d0DDS1n obs=10k
Then rewind the tape again:
# /usr/bin/mt -t /dev/rmt/c1t0d0DDS1n rew
Recovering Mirrored Disks after Installation with Ignite-UX
It is possible to use Ignite-UX for backing up the root volume group of mirrored disks, but
Ignite-UX will not preserve the mirror configurations. The disk mirrors will be lost and must be
reconfigured using LVM commands. The boot header of the mirrored disks will be touched as
well when recovering using Ignite-UX (pvcreate)!
It is possible to script the recreation of the mirror disks during the post recovery scripts.
