Network and Tape Recovery
This section covers different methods of network and tape recovery on vPars systems. For information on
performing a recovery using:
• make_net_recovery within a vPars-environment, see “Using make_net_recovery within a vPars
Environment (vPars A.04, A.03 and earlier)” on page 236
• make_tape_recovery outside of a vPars-environment, see “Using make_tape_recovery Outside of a vPars
Environment” on page 238
• make_tape_recovery within a vPars-environment in conjunction with an Ignite-UX boot server, see
“Using make_tape_recovery and Dual-media Boot” on page 242
• make_tape_recovery within a vPars-environment, see “Using make_tape_recovery within a
vPars-environment (vPars A.03.03)” on page 243
• golden images for recovery, see the whitepaper Using Golden Images with Virtual Partitions
• peripheral boot devices, see the whitepaper Booting, Installing, Recovery, and Sharing in a vPars
Environment from DVD/CDROM/TAPE/Network
• Ignite-UX, including make_net_recovery and make_tape_recovery, see the manual Ignite-UX
Administration Guide and the manpages make_tape_recovery (1m) and make_tape_recovery (1m).

NOTE Using vparboot -I with Ignite-UX on PA-RISC systems
When using Ignite-UX version C.06.xx or later, note that the bootable kernel path has changed
from /opt/ignite/boot/WINSTALL in Ignite-UX B.05.xx and earlier
to /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.NN/WINSTALL in Ignite-UX C.06.xx and later
Thus, when using Ignite-UX C.06.xx or later, you must specify the absolute path for the
bootable kernel for the vparboot -I command line.
For more information and an example, see “(PA-RISC only) The WINSTALL Boot Kernel Paths
with Different Versions of Ignite-UX and the vparboot -I command” on page 24.
