-f content_file
Location of the file which identifies keywords to specify inclusions and exclusions for the
archive. The default is
/var/opt/ignite/clients/0xLLA/recovery/archive_content
. This default
file is located on the Ignite-UX server and accessed by the client through an NFS mount. The
absolute path name to the
archive_content
file must be supplied as an argument to the
-f option. This option may be useful when there is a desire to manage multiple files which
specify the content of the archive. The -f
option is not allowed when using the -x or -A
options to specify the contents of the archive. (See the
Including and Excluding From
Archive section for file format.)
-i Causes make_net_recovery
to run interactively to allow selection of files and directories
that are to be included in the recovery archive. The options
-x, -A and -f are not allowed
with
-i. It is preferable to use the
ignite GUI menu command on the Ignite-UX server
when running an interactive
make_net_recovery
session. Running it from
ignite
ensures that any server configuration of NFS mounts is already done. It also provides a better
progress report and an easier to use interface.
-l LLA
The LLA (link-level address) of the system being archived. Used to create the per-client direc-
tory on the Ignite-UX server.
-n number_archives
Specifies the number of archives that should remain on the server at any given time. The
default is two (2). If number_archives is two and there are already two archives present when
a third is being created,
make_net_recovery
will remove the oldest archive after success-
fully creating the newest archive.
-p Previews the processing that would take place without actually creating the archive. This is a
way of verifying the directory
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest
(which is linked to
the latest archive directory of the form
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/date
,time) on the
local (client) system. To access this directory on a specified Ignite-UX server, the directory is
located at
/var/opt/ignite/clients/0xLLA/recovery/date
,time. The directory
contains the files
archive_cfg, control_cfg, and system_cfg that were created with
the configuration information desired. It also contains the file flist that lists the files that
make up the archive. It is best not to modify this file. However, it may be edited to exclude
some files/directories from the archive by deleting the entire line, if desired. Only files or
directories that are known to be user created should be deleted. The files that end in
_cfg
contain configuration information that may be changed. For example, converting from HFS to
VxFS. No further checks are done by make_net_recovery
. The creation of the System
Recovery Archive may then be resumed using the
-r option.
-P s|w|e
When a disk or volume group is partially included in the system recovery archive, generate an
ERROR (e), WARNING (w), or SUPPRESS (s) any warning messages that would normally be
generated when partial inclusions occur. The default is w, causing WARNING messages to be
produced when partial inclusions of disks and/or volume groups are detected. When e is
specified, an error message will be displayed to both stdout and to the log file, and execution of
make_net_recovery will stop once the error message is displayed.
-m tar|cpio|pax
Specify in which format (tar, pax,orcpio) the files/directories image in the archive will be
stored. tar, pax,or cpio may be specified. If this option is not specified, tar is the default
format.
-r Resumes creation of the System Recovery Archive after the -p option was used to create the
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest directory, and its *_cfg files have possibly been
edited. If the -A and -r options are both used, the -A option will be ignored, since the file
list, flist, and other configuration files, *_cfg, have been created and possibly modified.
-u Updates the Ignite-UX software from the Ignite server specified by the -s option. This is
done only when the version of software on the server is newer than the client. The software
update uses the depot on the server in the location:
/var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds. If this depot does not exist, you may use
the /opt/ignite/lbin/pkg_rec_depot command to create it. When the -u option
causes the software to be updated, it then automatically restarts the command with the same
