Making Recovery Configuration File Additions

Using the recovery config.local file

To have a configuration file automatically added to all new recovery configuration clauses for a given client, create a new Ignite-UX configuration file called:

/var/opt/ignite/clients/client/recovery/config.local

For local tapes the file is located in:

/var/opt/ignite/recovery/config.local

This config.local file will automatically be included in your recovery configuration for this client each time you run make_net_recovery. (The make_net_recovery command is run for you when you create a recovery image using the Ignite-UX TUI or GUI.)

If you already have recovery configurations for this client and would like them to include the recovery config.local file, use the manage_index command to include a reference to recovery/config.local in all of the configuration clauses.

The following example adds the recovery config.local file to all the 11i v2 cfg clauses in the CINDEX file.

#manage_index -a -r B.11.23 -f recovery/config.local \ -i /var/opt/ignite/clients/client/CINDEX

For more information, see manage_index(1M).

Adding a depot

If you want to install a recovery image on a different hardware platform or HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPars) software, you might have to add software to the recovery configuration in the CINDEX file.

To add software to a recovery configuration, first create a configuration file for the software depot with make_config. Then, add the configuration file to the recovery configuration clause in the client's CINDEX file.

The following example creates a configuration file sw_cfg from the depot sw_depot and adds the configuration file to all the configuration clauses for the release specified in the configuration file name (Rel_release).

#make_config -s sw_depot -c /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_release/sw_cfg

#manage_index -a -f /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_release/sw_cfg \

-i /var/opt/ignite/clients/client/CINDEX

During recovery, the software bundles available in sw_depot will be available for selection from the user interface software tab.

For more information, see manage_index(1M).

If you want the sw_cfg configuration file to be added to all new recovery configurations created for the client, add the sw_cfg file to the config.local file. For more information, see “Using the recovery config.local file” (page 212).

Selecting File Systems During Recovery

It is possible to change the way your disks are configured when you recover using a recovery image created by make_net_recovery. If you want to use a standard HP file system layout, you can specify the disk configuration using Ignite-UX. For more information, see “Basic Tab” (page 118).

If you do not want to use a standard HP file system layout, you can modify the /var/opt/ignite/clients/client/CINDEX file for the client you are recovering. The CINDEX file contains one or more configuration clauses that refer to the recovery images you have previously created with make_net_recovery. Add a new configuration file entry to the clause you intend to recover from. If you want to add the standard HP file system choices, add the file
