Disaster Recovery

Manual Disaster Recovery of an HP-UX Client

Chapter 10

504

This creates an Ignite-UX depot under

/var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds

, which can be specified as a

source directory by

swinstall

on the client for the Ignite-UX software

installation.

After you have installed Ignite-UX on the client node, you can use the
GUI on the Ignite-UX server to create recovery archives using

make_net_recovery

make_tape_recovery

Creating an Archive
Using
make_tape_recovery

Perform the following steps to create an archive using

make_tape_recovery

1. Make sure that a backup device is connected to the HP-UX client.

2. Start the Ignite-UX GUI by executing the following command:

/opt/ignite/bin/ignite &

3. Right click the client icon and select

Create Tape Recovery

Archive

4. Select a tape device, if more than one device is connected to the

HP-UX client.

5. Select the volume groups you want to include into the archive.

6. The tape creation process will now begin. Check the status and log

file on the Ignite-UX server by right clicking the client icon and
selecting

Client Status

NOTE

Ignite-UX recommends the usage of 90m DDS1 backup tapes to ensure
that the tape will work with all DDS with any DDS drive.

Creating an Archive
Using
make_net_recovery

The procedure for creating a recovery archive using

make_net_recovery

is almost the same as using

make_tape_recovery

. The advantage is that

there is no need for a locally attached backup device, as the recovery
archive is stored on the Ignite-UX server by default.

1. Start the Ignite-UX GUI by executing the following command:

/opt/ignite/bin/ignite &

2. Right click the client icon and select

Create Network Recovery
