This creates an Ignite-UX depot under
/var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds, which can be specified as a
source directory by swinstall on the client for the Ignite-UX software
installation.
After you have installed Ignite-UX on the client node, you can use the
GUI on the Ignite-UX server to create recovery archives using
make_net_recovery or make_tape_recovery.
Creating an Archive
Using
make_tape_recovery
Perform the following steps to create an archive using
make_tape_recovery:

/opt/ignite/bin/ignite &.
3. Right click the client icon and select Create Tape Recovery

5. Select the volume groups you want to include into the archive.
6. The tape creation process will now begin. Check the status and log

selecting Client Status.

/opt/ignite/bin/ignite &
