Chapter 12. HP-UX Bare-Metal Recovery


This chapter explains procedures that a system administrator would use to recover an HP-UX operating system in case of a complete system failurewhen there is nothing left but bare metal. Hewlett Packard Ignite-UX provides a unique approach to system recovery by integrating bare-metal system recovery capabilities with general deployment tool sets within a client/server framework. The Ignite-UX make_net_recovery and make_tape_recovery tools may be used to create bootable system recovery archives that are intended to return the installed OS to new or original hardware in a disaster. The recovery archives may be stored across the network on disk or on local tape drives. Ignite-UX may be installed from HP-UX application CDs or downloaded free from http://software.hp.com.

This chapter was contributed by Eric Stahl and Ron Goodwyn. Eric has 25 years in IT including stints with Hewlett Packard, the Space Shuttle Launch Control Center, and flight-testing the first F15E and B2 aircraft. Ron received his B.S. in computer science from Tuskegee University and has written a few articles on Ignite-UX system recovery in the past.
