Updating to HP-UX 11i v2
Creating an HP Service Partition
Chapter 6 113
IMPORTANT The recovery process may fail if the boot disk file system is very full
while attempting to create a full archive with make_tape_recovery or
make_net_recovery, causing either the system or user data restore to
run out of space.
HP strongly recommends that you back up your user data using other
supported backup software for HP-UX 11i v2, and use
make_tape_recovery or make_net_recovery to create an archive of
your system data.
See the Ignite-UX Administration Guide for more details on the
make_net_recovery and make_tape_recovery commands.
Step 2. Make a system archive using either the make_net_recovery or
make_tape_recovery command:
• To save a system archive to an Ignite-UX server:
make_net_recovery -s
iuxServer
-x inc_entire=vg00
• To save a system archive to tape:
make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/0mn -x inc_entire=vg00
Step 3. Reboot your system. If you created a system archive using the
make_tape_recovery command, insert your HP-UX 11i v2 DVD into the
DVD drive, before resetting your system.
Step 4. Depending on which method you used to create your system archive,
choose the appropriate boot method:
• make_net_recovery method: Select the appropriate network EFI
boot option
• make_tape_recovery method: Select the appropriate DVD boot
option
NOTE See the “System Recovery” chapter of the Ignite-UX Administration
Guide for more details and information about the appropriate boot
methods.
