Two-step media recovery requires the version of Ignite-UX on the tape, on the bootable
CD/DVD, and on the system creating the CD/DVD media to be identical. If you do not have a
matching Operating Environment DVD, the make_media_install script can be used to easily
create a bootable CD/DVD with the correct Ignite-UX version.
Example Create HP-UX 11i v3 bootable CD/DVD media for two-step media recovery
On a system with a CD/DVD writer and the same version of Ignite-UX as on your tape, execute
the following command (iso_directory is the target directory for the .iso media file and the –r
option specifies the release, such as B.11.23 or B.11.31):
# make_media_install –r B.11.31 –m iso_directory
Golden Archive DVD
Golden Archive media can be built for PA-RISC systems, Itanium-based systems, or both since
the bootable DVD created with make_media_install on HP-UX 11i v2 or 11i v3 will support
boot for either architecture. The golden archive, however, can only be installed on a system
matching the architecture type it was created from.
The make_media_install script will generate impact statements for you, using either the –l
command line option or the default $ImpactLevelDefault. See the start of the script for more
information.
The following examples write golden archives created with the make_sys_image command to
DVD.
Note: Large golden archives may not fit on a DVD. The image.gz file is limited to 4GB in size
due to CDFS limitations. For more information, see the sections FILE SIZES and IMAGE SIZE
at the start of the make_media_install script.
Example: Put an Itanium-based HP-UX 11i v3 golden archive on a DVD
On a system with a DVD writer, execute the following commands. (The iso_directory is the
target directory for the .iso media file. The –r option specifies the release – valid values for
Itanium-based systems are B.11.23 and B.11.31. The –o option specifies the hardware
architecture - the only valid value for an Itanium-based system is IA.)
# mkdir /var/opt/ignite/media/pseudo_root/archive
# cp goldenarchive.gz /var/opt/ignite/media/pseudo_root/archive
# make_media_install –r B.11.31 –o IA –a goldenarchive.gz \
–m iso_directory
Example: Put a PA-RISC HP-UX 11i v2 golden archive on a DVD
