23rdJune2012 HowtocloneaHPUXsystemusingmake_net_recovery?

HowcanI[]clone[]asystemusingmake_net_recovery[]?
Question
HowcanIclone[]asystemusingmake_net_recovery[]?
Answer
Therecoveryconfigurationsandarchivescreatedbymake_net_recovery[]arestoredinaseparatedirectoryontheIgniteUXserverfor
eachclient.Usingtheconfigurationandarchivecreatedbymake_net_recovery[] ononesystemtoinstalladifferentsysteminvolves
manuallycopyingsomeconfigurationfiles,andallowingNFSaccesstothesourcesystem'sarchive.
Details
Thestepstoclone[]asystemusingmake_net_recovery[]are:
Usemake_net_recovery[](ortheigniteGUI)tocreateasystemrecoveryarchiveofthesourcesystem.

LogintotheIgniteUXserver.

Ifthetargetsystemtobeinstalleddoesnotcurrentlyhaveadirectoryin/var/opt/ignite/clientsbutisupandrunning,thenusetheignite
GUItocreatethatdirectoryusingthe'AddNewClientforRecovery'action.Ifthesystemisnotrunning,youwilleitherneedtobootthe
clientfromtheIgniteUXserver(orforatapemadewithmake_boot_tape)inorderforthisdirectorytobecreated.
Copy the CINDEX [] and recovery directory from the source client to the target client directory. Note that if the target client has
previouslyusedmake_net_recovery [] then it will already have a CINDEX [] file. If the CINDEX [] file for the target system exists
already,youmaywanttosaveacopy,and/orhandeditthefiletoaddthedesiredentriesfromthesourceclient.Thecommandsbelow
willcopytherequiredfiles,youmayspecifysrcclientandtargetclientusingeithertheLANaddresses(e.g.,0x0060B04AAB30),orby
usingtheclient'shostname(whichisasymlinktotheLANaddress).

#vi/etc/hosts[Keepthenewhostnamein/etc/hostsfileonIgniteserver]
#cd/var/opt/ignite/clients/srcclient
#findCINDEX[]recovery|cpiopdvma../targetclient

GivethetargetclientNFSaccesstothearchiveofthesourcesystem.Todothis,logintotheserverthatholdsthearchive(normallythe
IgniteUXserver).
Typicallyeachclienthasitsowndirectoryforstoringthearchives,andthedirectoryisexportedonlytotheindividualclient.Inthiscase,
youwillneedtoeditthe/etc/exportsfiletoallowaccesstoboththesourceandtargetclients:
#vi/etc/exports
(append:targetclienttotheendofthesourceclient'sline)
#exportfsav
NowyoucanbootthetargetclientfromtheIgniteUXserver(usinganymethodyouwish).Thenwhenyouinstallthesystem,youcan
selectfromtherecoveryconfigurationsofthesourcesystem.
