This post describes how to create ignite backup file for HP-UX.Ignite is a well designed backup restore tool for root/boot volume backup and restore. You need additional software to get backup except root volume group.
Requirements
- FTP/TFTP Connections
- Port Connections For(UDP/TCP)
- Ignite Server IP and Archive Directory
- Client Server Configuration
- Modified Ignite Script
Take Ignite Backup
Server Side Configuration
Step 1:Add Ignite Server IP Address to hosts file
#echo "clientIP Clienthostname" >> /etc/hosts
Step 2:Create Client Server directory
#mkdir -p /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/clienthostname #chown bin:bin /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/clienthostname
Step 3:Add Client Server Directory to NFS Configuration
Before share new directory check if your client has connection to Ignite Server NFS and TFTP ports.
# cat /etc/services|egrep -i 'NFS|TFTP' tftp 69/udp # Trivial File Transfer Protocol nfsd-keepalive 1110/udp # Client status info nfsd-status 1110/tcp # Cluster status info nfsd 2049/udp nfs # NFS server daemon (clts) nfsd 2049/tcp nfs # NFS server daemon (cots) lockd 4045/udp # NFS lockd daemon/manager for udp lockd 4045/tcp # NFS lockd daemon/manager for tcp
Add new directory to dfstab.If you need to share for only spesific client server change anon string like this: “anon=2,rw=clienthostname”
#echo "/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/clienthostname -anon=2" >> /etc/exports
**Older realase of HP-UX like 11.11-23 add “access=clienthostname” after “-anon=2” string.
**And also add this line to dfstab
#echo "share -F nfs -o anon=2,rw /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/clienthostname " >> /etc/dfs/dfstab
Client Side Configuration
Step 1: Check this port connection to Ignite Server
**UDP/TCP 2049
**UDP 69
Step 2:Add ignite server to hosts file
#echo "IgniteserverIP Igniteserverhostname" >> /etc/hosts
Step 3:Check Root disk Volume group for ignite script
#bdf|grep -w "/"|awk '{print $1}'|awk -F [/] '{print $3}'
If you don’t need some directories which is under Root VG you can exclude them with “-x exclude=MountPoint”. So check and take note which mount points you don’t need like /oracle /appdata etc.
Step 4:Create Ignite Script
Check all mount points which is under Root Volume grup. In my case volume group is “vg00” .Then configure the script which added below.
-x : exclude mount point which added.
inc_entire: root filesystem volume group
