Ignite-UX Administration Guide for HP-UX 11i (B3921-90079, October 2013)

Clicking Yes produces a terminal window allowing you to enter the root password, clicking
No halts the addition of this client and returns you to the Ignite-UX GUI.
Once communication with the client is established and the client directory is constructed, a
client icon appears in the Ignite-UX GUI.
6. Ensure that the client icon for which you want to create a recovery image is selected, and
then select Create Network Recovery Archive from the Actions menu. You may be prompted
for the root password for the client.
The network recovery tools needed on the client are automatically installed.
After some informative dialog boxes, an Include/Exclude Selection dialog box appears. To view
the essential files, click Show. Essential files cannot be excluded, but you can customize the image
by specifying additional volumes, directories, or files. When an item is identified as both Include
and Exclude, the Exclude category takes precedence.
Examples of Network Recovery Image Creation
Create a Recovery Image from the Client
This command creates a recovery image from the client, using settings from the last invocation of
Ignite-UX, and using the options file on the Ignite-UX server (myserver) in the default location,
/var/opt/ignite/clients/client/recovery/ :
make_net_recovery -s myserver
Create a Recovery Tape on a Client that Includes the Volume Group, vg00
To create a recovery image from the client that includes files from all file systems in the vg00
volume group, enter:
make_net_recovery -s myserver -x inc_entire=vg00
Preview System Recovery
To preview the processing that would take place without actually creating the recovery image,
enter:
make_net_recovery -s myserver -p
Recovering using the Network for PA-RISC Clients
To recover a failed disk or volume group using the recovery image:
1. Boot the failed system using one of these methods (see “Booting PA-RISC Clients from the
Console ” (page 99)):
• Use Ignite-UX after reboot with boot lan install.
• Boot from an Ignite-UX server using bootsys if the client operating system is running.
• Boot the failed client locally by using a boot tape previously created with
make_boot_tape.
2. Do not interact with ISL.
If your Ignite-UX server supports installing more than one version of HP-UX, a target operating
system menu will appear:
ISL booting hpux KernelPrompt "Choose Operating System to Install:"
1. target OS is B.11.11
2. target OS is B.11.23 PA
3. target OS is B.11.31 PA
4. Exit
Choose an operating system to install that your hardware supports :
