Migrating an Integrity HP-UX 11iv3 Instance to New Hardware

For example, if the Ignite-UX server hostname is ignsvr, the command would be:

/opt/ignite/bin/make_net_recovery -s ignsvr -A

Administration Guide for HP-UX 11i, available at http://www.hp.com/go/Ignite-ux-docs

Step3: Copy source client config to the target config

To make the following changes, log-in to the Ignite-UX server as root. Note, these changes are

needed for both the “move” and “clone” scenarios, since the new system will have a different MAC

address from the source.

1. Determine the MAC address for the target system that will be used to connect to the Ignite-UX

server.

2. Create the MAC address directory in /var/opt/ignite/clients:

# cd /var/opt/ignite/clients

# su bin

$ umask u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx

$ mkdir <target MAC address>

3. If you are moving the system (as opposed to cloning), remove the symlink from target hostname to

its “old” MAC address:

# rm <target hostname>

4. Create a symlink from the target hostname to the directory just created:

$ ln -s <target MAC address> <target hostname>

5. Copy the CINDEX file and recovery directory from the source client directory:

$ cd <source hostname>

$ find CINDEX recovery | cpio -pdvma ../<target hostname>

6. Identify the “cfg” clause that is set to TRUE in the /var/opt/ignite/clients/<target

hostname>/CINDEX file. The subdirectory of the recovery directory containing

system_cfg, control_cfg, and archive_cfg has a <recovery-date-time> name in

the format “yyyy-mm-dd,hh:mm”. Ordinarily, the directory

/var/opt/ignite/clients/<target hostname>/recovery/latest is a symlink to the

directory /var/opt/ignite/clients/<target hostname>/recovery/<recovery-

date-time>. If this is not the case on your Ignite-UX server, you need to replace references to

the directory /var/opt/ignite/clients/<target hostname>/recovery/latest in

the directions that follow with the directory /var/opt/ignite/clients/<target

hostname>/recovery/<recovery-date-time>.

For example, if the source system is srcsys, the target system is tgtsys, and the MAC address for the

target system 0x001560042B1, the sequence of commands would be as follows:

# cd /var/opt/ignite/clients

# su bin

$ umask u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx

$ mkdir 0x001560042B1

$ ln -s tgtsys 0x001560042B1

$ cd srcsys

$ find CINDEX recovery | cpio -pdvma ../tgtsys

For the example, check whether

$ ll /var/opt/ignite/clients/tgtsys/recovery/latest

matches the cfg set to TRUE in /var/opt/ignite/clients/tgtsys/CINDEX.
