make_tape_recovery.1m (2012 03)

m
make_tape_recovery(1M) make_tape_recovery(1M)
/var/tmp directory where the LIF volume will be assembled. The
LIF volume and other
temporary files required by make_medialif(1M) or make_ipf_tape(1M) will be assembled in the
directory specified and then removed after the recovery process completes.
-D tape_volume_name
Specifies the name of the ANSI tape volume. This option is only for IPF tape. By default,
Ignite-UX recovery tool uses the first 6 characters of string
HP "month" "day" as tape volume
name.
-d tag_string
One line tag_string for the system recovery archive. If the tag_string includes spaces, it must
be enclosed in quotation marks. The tag_string will be displayed when choosing the archive as
a configuration from the Ignite-UX interactive user interface. The default tag_string is
Recovery Archive. The tag_string is specified in the
INDEX file as the value for the cfg
keyword, and must not exceed 80 characters.
-f content_file
Location of the file which identifies keywords to specify inclusions and exclusions for the
archive. The default is /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archive_content
on the local
system if the
-s option is not used. However, if the
-s option is given, the default is
/var/opt/ignite/clients/0xLLA/recovery/archive_content
. This default
file is located on the Ignite-UX server and accessed by the client through an NFS mount. The
absolute path name to the
archive_content
file must be supplied as an argument to the
-f option. This option may be useful when there is a desire to manage multiple files which
specify the content of the archive. The -f option is not allowed when using the -x or
-A
options to specify the contents of the archive. (See the Including and Excluding From
Archive section for file format.)
-i Causes make_tape_recovery
to run interactively to allow selection of files and directories
that are to be included in the recovery archive. The options
-x, -A and -f
are not allowed
with
-i. It is preferable to use the ignite GUI menu command on the Ignite-UX server
when running an interactive make_tape_recovery
session. Running it from ignite
ensures that any server configuration of NFS mounts is already done. It also provides a better
progress report and an easier to use interface.
-I Causes the system recovery process to be interactive when booting from the tape. By default,
when the systems boots from the recovery tape, it will allow ten (10) seconds to interrupt the
automatic recovery process in order to make modifications interactively. When the
-I option
is specified, booting from the tape will always present the interactive menus. This option is
useful when making configuration changes during the recovery, and may also help prevent an
accidental system recovery from a recovery tape.
-l LLA
The LLA (link-level address) of the system being archived. Used to create the per-client direc-
tory on the Ignite-UX server.
-n number_cfg_directories
Specifies the number of configuration and log file directories to be saved on the system or
server. The default is two (2). If number_cfg_directories is two and there are already two
configuration file directories present when a third is being created, make_tape_recovery
will remove the oldest directory after successfully creating the newest directory.
-p Previews the processing that would take place without actually creating the tape. This is a way
of verifying the directory /var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest
(which is linked to the
latest archive directory of the form
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/date,time
) on the local
(client) system. To access this directory on a specified Ignite-UX server, the directory is located
at
/var/opt/ignite/clients/0xLLA/recovery/date,time. The directory contains
the files
archive_cfg, control_cfg, and system_cfg that were created with the
configuration information desired. It also contains the file flist that lists the files that make
up the archive. It is best not to modify this file. However, it may be edited to exclude some
files/directories from the archive by deleting the entire line, if desired. Only files or directories
that are known to be user created should be deleted. The files that end in _cfg contain
configuration information that may be changed. For example, converting from HFS to VxFS.
No further checks are done by make_tape_recovery. The creation of the System Recovery
Tape may then be resumed using the -r option.
