unsupported volume groups as input to make_net_recovery
command or migrate all those unsup-
ported volume group version to 2.2 or higher (using LVM’s Volume Group Version migration tool, vgver-
sion) and rerun the command.
For LVM Volume Groups having Volume Group Version 2.2 or higher, if the
LVMP_CONF_PATH_NON_BOOT
configuration variable in
/etc/lvmrc file is modified to store LVM
configuration backups in a directory that is not backed up by default, user may need to consider including
that directory for recovery.
Non-default Device Files May Not Be Recovered Correctly
Any custom agile device files may not be correct after a recovery. Ignite-UX does not inventory or re-
create custom agile DSFs. They may be present post-recovery and may refer to the wrong device. It is up
to the person or application that created the custom agile DSFs to verify that they point to the correct
device and recreate them as required or not use them. This includes custom agile pass-through device
files created by HP Integrity VM on 11.31 systems (on the host system only). After recovery
hpvmdevmgmt must be run on the host system to recreate pass-through DSFs before starting a VM
guest. Failure to do so may cause HPVM host issues. Refer to hpvmdevmgmt (1M) for more details.
In the event of instance changes during recovery, custom legacy DSFs may point to the wrong legacy dev-
ice. Post-recovery in the event of instance changes in legacy devices it should be verified that any required
custom legacy DSF points to the correct device. It is the responsibility of the person or application who
created the custom legacy DSF to ensure that they point to the correct device in these circumstances
before attempting to use them.
Existence of Cluster-wide Device Special Files (cDSF) on the System
Ignite-UX does not support the creation of the recovery archive using the
make_net_recovery
com-
mand for Volume Groups configured using Cluster-wide Device Special Files (cDSF). When volume groups
configured using cDSF are provided as arguments to the command, it fails and reports the same as
unsupported. To proceed, omit the unsupported volume groups as input and rerun the command. When
volume groups configured using cDSF are present on the system and are not provided as arguments,
there will be a warning about their existence, however the recovery archive will be created.
DEPENDENCIES
The Ignite-UX GUI must be run from the Ignite-UX Server, see ignite (5).
make_net_recovery
depends on several other Ignite-UX tools. When running the Ignite-UX server GUI, Ignite-UX checks
whether the client system that make_net_recovery
runs on has the same versions of Ignite-UX tools.
If running
make_net_recovery
from the command line without ever interacting with the Ignite-UX
GUI, commands will need to be installed using swinstall (1M) from the Ignite-UX server to the client sys-
tem on which
make_net_recovery
will be run.
make_net_recovery
requires the following filesets of the Ignite-UX product be installed on the
system:
Ignite-UX.MGMT-TOOLS
Ignite-UX.RECOVERY
AUTHOR
Ignite-UX and make_net_recovery were developed by the Hewlett-Packard Company.
DIAGNOSTICS
All major steps within network recovery are logged on the server and displayed via the Ignite-UX Server
GUI.
FILES
/opt/ignite/recovery/mnr_essentials
Lists the files and directories that are considered essential and are always included in the archive if
they exist on the system.
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/mnr_essentials
Lists the files and directories that are essential, but acts as the user modifiable version so that the
original mnr_essentials file may be maintained. When this file exists, its content is checked before
the file /opt/ignite/recovery/mnr_essentials.
/var/opt/ignite/clients/0xLLA/CINDEX
This file contains a list of Ignite-UX configurations that are specific to the particular client with a
network LLA as shown in the path. This file supplies Ignite-UX with the configuration files created
