I have a make_recovery tape, if I restore the VG00 volume group using this, will my other volume groups still be ok after the restore(I have 7 data volume groups)
I used make_recovery -A to create the tape
I have a HP9000 HP-UX 11
An internal disk is failing, the other volume groups are on raided Nike 20 disk arrays
Depends how old is the tape...It will put the system at the time of creation of the ignite tape (has it been patched since, passwords??... )
Thx for the help, I've recovered my system for the make_recovery tape now. All disks came back online so all is good.
A good practice is to make an ignite tape before and after every important change on the system (patching...) and export the vg maps ( using -p (preview)) with different options to see... but save the files on another server... in order to if you have a very big issue have have to reinstall vg00 you have something to import (your other vgXXs...) or you trust your backups...
