Boot CD/DVD examples
Two-step media recovery using a bootable CD/DVD is necessary to restore from tapes created with the Ignite-UX command make_tape_recovery on certain Itanium-based systems that do not support direct tape boot. See “Tape recovery with no tape boot support — two-step media recovery” (page 217) for more information on two-step media recovery, and the Ignite-UX Installation Booting white paper available at http://www.hp.com/go/ignite-ux-docs for information on configurations supporting HP Integrity native tape boot.
Two-step media recovery requires the version of Ignite-UX on the tape, on the bootable CD/DVD, and on the system creating the CD/DVD media to be identical. If you do not have a matching Operating Environment DVD, the make_media_install script can be used to easily create a bootable CD/DVD with the correct Ignite-UX version.
Create HP-UX 11i v3 bootable CD/DVD media for two-step media recovery
On a system with a CD/DVD writer and the same version of Ignite-UX as on your tape, execute the following command (iso_directory is the target directory for the .iso media file and the -roption specifies the release, such as B.11.23 or B.11.31):
#make_media_install -r B.11.31 -m iso_directory
Create HP-UX 11i v2 bootable media on USB DVD drive for two-step media recovery
In order to write to a USB DVD drive on an HP-UX 11i v2 system, you must install the patch PHKL_37814 and use the -coption with make_media_install. In the following example, the iso_directory is the target directory for the .iso media file, the -roption specifies the release, and the device_file is the DVD device file such as /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0.
#make_media_install -r B.11.23 -m iso_directory -c device_file
Installation archive-based DVD examples
Installation media can be built for PA-RISC systems, Itanium-based systems, or both since the bootable DVD created with make_media_install on HP-UX 11i v2 or 11i v3 will support boot for either architecture. The archive, however, can only be installed on a system matching the architecture type it was created from.
The make_media_install script will generate impact statements for you, using either the -lcommand line option or the default $ImpactLevelDefault. See the start of the script for more information.
NOTE: Building installation DVDs requires the mkisofs and growisofs commands. Beginning with Ignite-UX version C.6.2.x, these commands are delivered in the /opt/ignite/lbin/ directory.
Put an Itanium-based HP-UX 11i v3 golden archive on a DVD
On a system with a DVD writer, execute the following commands. (The iso_directory is the target directory for the .iso media file. The -roption specifies the release — valid values for Itanium-based systems are B.11.23 and B.11.31. The -ooption specifies the hardware architecture — the only valid value for an Itanium-based system is IA.)
