Recovering the Virtual Partitions Using one of the Virtual Partitions as the Ignite-UX Server
4. The nPartition must have a tape drive available to boot from. Note that nothing is running in the
nPartition. Boot the make_tape_recovery tape created in step (3) in an nPartition. The system is being
booted without vPars at this point.
5. Recover the Ignite server that was archived to tape in step (3). This is done using the
make_tape_recovery tape that was booted in step (4) along with normal filesystem recovery.
6. Reboot the nPartition, this time using the root disk that was recovered in step (5). Stop at the MON>
prompt.
7. Use vparload at the MON> prompt to load the virtual partition recovered in step (5). This is the Ignite
server.
8. Use vparboot -I to recover the other virtual partitions using the make_net_recovery files created in
step (2).
9. There may be normal filesystem recoveries that need to be done to fully recover the virtual partitions
after they are booted in step (8).
10. Modify the autoboot string (using mkboot -a ...) so that the virtual partitions will autoboot at the next
system boot.
11. Reboot the nPartition to test if all the virtual partitions come up as expected.
