Ignite/UX Network Recovery
For information on Ignite/UX, see the manual "Ignite/UX Administration
Guide".
Making an Archive of a Partition
make_tape_recovery is not supported for vPars computers. You need to
use make_net_recovery.
make_net_recovery works the same for making archives of both
non-vPars and vPars computers.
Recovering a Partition
Ignite/UX modifies theLIF area during a recovery, yet vPars does notuse
the LIF area for booting a virtual partition; therefore, on a vPars
computer you need to perform some additional steps.
NOTE Before performing recovery, read the section “Updating Your Ignite
Server” on page 62.
To recover a partition, perform the following from a running partition.
(In these examples, the partition winona1 is running and the partition
winona2 is the partition being recovered.)
1. Set the auto flag to manual for the target partition (the partition you
wish to recover):
winona1# vparmodify -p winona2 -B manual
2. Set the kernel path of the target partition to use the boot kernel
/stand/WINSTALL:
winona1# vparmodify -p winona2 -b /stand/WINSTALL
3. Set the TERM environment variable to hpterm. For POSIX shell, the
command is
winona1# export TERM=hpterm
