Procedure for creating Ignite-UX recovery archive over the network

1.  Determine the archive server and archive path where you want to store your Ignite recovery archive. This server can be different from the Ignite-UX server used for booting clients over the network or it can be the same server as well.

                  The archive path should be NFS exported before executing the make_net_recovery command because it is NFS mounted on the Ignite-UX client before archive creation. The archive is then tranferred via tar to the NFS mounted directory of archive server.

 For example, if the archive path on archive server is /u01/my_archives/<Hostname> then the /etc/exports file on archive server should have the following entry.

/u01/my_archives/<Hostname> -anon=65534,async,root=<Hostname>

  where <Hostname> denotes the hostname of the ignite client.

2.  After editing /etc/exports file , run exportfs –av .

3.  Run the following command on archive server.

     chown bin:bin /u01/my_archives/<Hostname>

4.  To create the network recovery archive, run the following command on  Ignite-UX client.

make_net_recovery –Av –a <archive-server>:<archive-path> -s <Ignite-UX_server>

where  A = for including all the files from the PV/disk that contains  root Volume Group.

            v = for verbose mode.

            a = for specifying the archive server.

            s = for specifying the Ignite-UX server.

5.  The log file of archive creation can be found at

/var/opt/ignite/clients/<Hostname>/recovery/<Date,Time>/recovery.log
