Administrator's Guide

make_arch_config uses archive_impact to calculate the file system impacts for the
recovery archive, and includes these in the sw_sel clause it writes.
7. Update the CINDEX file.
Lastly, make_[tape|net]_recovery uses manage_index to update the
/var/opt/ignite/clients/client/CINDEX file for the client. This file contains a list
of all the recovery configurations available for the client. The configuration clause for the most
recently created recovery archive is similar to the following excerpt:
cfg "2005-03-17,11:19 Recovery Archive" {
description "Recovery Archive"
"recovery/2005-03-17,11:19/system_cfg"
"recovery/2005-03-17,11:19/control_cfg"
"recovery/2005-03-17,11:19/archive_cfg"
}=TRUE
Recovery image creation status
You can monitor the status of the recovery image creation process by right-clicking on the client
icon or clicking the Actions menu, then selecting Client Status.... The resulting dialog box details
the progress as the recovery image is created with make_net_recovery as shown in Figure 99.

Examining recovery image contents
The commands make_[tape|net]_recovery call /opt/ignite/lbin/list_expander
as part of the process of determining what to include in a recovery image. You can use the
list_expander command independently to determine for yourself what will be in the recovery
image.
