Question:
Can I use a network recovery image if my system is not on the same subnet as the
Yes, there are the commands make_boot_tape , make_ipf_tape, and make_media_install that create minimal boot media for use by any client. The media contain just enough information to boot a client and then connect to the
It is not possible to boot all systems from a tape device. See “Tape recovery with no tape boot support —
If you initiate recovery tape creation from the
Notice that media created by make_boot_tape, make_ipf_tape, and make_media_install are useful not only for recovery situations, but also for ordinary installations. If you do not want to set up a boot helper for systems on a separate subnet than the
For more information, see Chapter 14 (page 180), make_boot_tape(1M), and make_ipf_tape(1M).
Other options include direct boot profiles (see “Direct boot profiles for
Question:
How can I change my setup so a network recovery image is available not only on the system for which it was created, but also on other systems with very similar hardware?
Because networking information can be changed using the interface and will not be overwritten by files extracted from the image, it is natural to think about sharing recovery images for systems with identical or nearly identical hardware. But unlike shared configurations that appear in the configuration list for all clients, network recovery configurations only appear in the configuration list of the client for which they were created.
The source for shared configurations is the /var/opt/ignite/data/INDEX file that is created when
Question:
I do not want to interact with the user interface after I reboot the client. How can I have my latest network recovery image chosen automatically?
