NOTE

Creating an Archive Using make_net_recovery

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 or 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 &.

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.

2.Right click the client icon and select Create Network Recovery Archive.

3.Select the destination system and directory. Make sure that there is
