HP 9000 Containers A.03.01 on HP Integrity Server Administrator Guide HP-UX 11i v3 (5900-3112, June 2013)

5.3 Recovering HP 9000 image
This section explains the steps for recovering HP 9000 image.
5.3.1 Configuring mount points
To recover the files within the container onto mount points (if applicable), create them on the HP-UX
11i v3 host. For example,
$ mkdir <hp9000_root>/var
$ chown bin:bin <hp9000_root>/var
$ mount –F vxfs <from where> <hp9000_root>/var
5.3.2 Using Ignite-UX network recovery archive
You can use an existing Ignite-UX network recovery archive to replicate the files on the target
server. However, you cannot use Ignite-UX itself for recovery because the image cannot be restored
to an alternate root directory.
To recover an HP 9000 image from an Ignite-UX network recovery archive:
1. Identify the archive. By default, it is located on the Ignite-UX server in the /var/opt/ignite/
recovery/archives/<HP 9000-host-name> directory.
2. Copy the archive file to the Integrity server (or make it visible via an NFS-mount). Do not keep
the archive in the root directory on the system.
3. Uncompress the archive.
4. Recover the image:
$ /opt/HP9000-Containers/bin/hp9000_recover_image \
<hp9000_root> <image-file>
5. Ignore any errors related to the recovery of the dev directory that are recorded in the log file.
5.3.3 Using Ignite-UX tape recovery archive
You can use an existing Ignite-UX tape recovery archive to recover an HP 9000 image on the
target server. However, you cannot use Ignite-UX to recover images because it cannot be restored
to an alternate root directory.
To recover an HP 9000 image from an Ignite-UX tape recovery archive:
1. Insert the tape into a compatible drive.
2. Extract the archive into file system:
$ copy_boot_tape -u /dev/rmt/0mn -d <directory>
3. Identify the file in the extract that corresponds to the file system image. Typically, this is the
largest file in the extract. For HP-UX 11i v1, it is usually named file0002.
4. Copy the archive file to the Integrity server (or make it visible via an NFS-mount). Do not keep
the archive in the root directory on the system.
5. Recover the archive:
$ /opt/HP9000-Containers/bin/hp9000_recover_image \
<hp9000_root> <image-file>
6. Ignore any errors related to the recovery of the dev directory that are recorded in the log file.
5.3.4 Using tar and frecover recovery archive
