If we take an example of one of our Linux servers, it is running on an HP BL460c G7 blade, in a DR situation we would e restoring this onto a DL380 server.
Although never fully tested with Linux the idea was that we would have the DL380 server setup with the same version of Linux OEL5.5 and all the filesystems and partitions already setup with the same sizes.
So from the information above take the tarball and in single user mode unpack it. In this instance would we need the /dev directory?
Unfortunately this is something i have only had 5 working days to trial before and because of doing other work and the legth of time it took couldn't get it working, and now i have no spare hardware to test on but we are doing a DR trial soon and it is going to be important to get working. The more info i get the quicker i can hopefully overcome any issues i run into on the trial.

I backed up a unix database using
"tar -cvf /dev/rmt1 -N 800 /*"
Normally I would restore this using
"tar -xvf /dev/rmt1 -N 800"
This is reporting an error about
"not enough memory"
I have done a new test backup and restore using the same commands and they work.
ANY IDEAS ? (2 Replies)

dist::zilla::dist::builder
Dist::Zilla::Dist::Builder(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Dist::Zilla::Dist::Builder(3pm)
NAME
Dist::Zilla::Dist::Builder - dist zilla subclass for building dists
VERSION
version 4.300020
ATTRIBUTES
built_in
This is the Path::Class::Dir, if any, in which the dist has been built.
METHODS
from_config
my $zilla = Dist::Zilla->from_config(\%arg);
This routine returns a new Zilla from the configuration in the current working directory.
This method should not be relied upon, yet. Its semantics are certain to change.
Valid arguments are:
config_class - the class to use to read the config
default: Dist::Zilla::MVP::Reader::Finder
build_in
$zilla->build_in($root);
This method builds the distribution in the given directory. If no directory name is given, it defaults to DistName-Version. If the
distribution has already been built, an exception will be thrown.
build
This method just calls "build_in" with no arguments. It gets you the default behavior without the weird-looking formulation of "build_in"
with no object for the preposition!
ensure_built_in
$zilla->ensure_built_in($root);
This method behaves like "build_in", but if the dist is already built in $root (or the default root, if no root is given), no exception is
raised.
ensure_built_in
This method just calls "ensure_built_in" with no arguments. It gets you the default behavior without the weird-looking formulation of
"ensure_built_in" with no object for the preposition!
dist_basename
my $basename = $zilla->dist_basename;
This method will return the dist's basename (e.g. "Dist-Name-1.01". The basename is used as the top-level directory in the tarball. It
does not include "-TRIAL", even if building a trial dist.
archive_filename
my $tarball = $zilla->archive_filename;
This method will return the filename (e.g. "Dist-Name-1.01.tar.gz") of the tarball of this dist. It will include "-TRIAL" if building a
trial dist. The tarball might not exist.
build_archive
$zilla->build_archive;
This method will ensure that the dist has been built, and will then build a tarball of the build directory in the current directory.
release
$zilla->release;
This method releases the distribution, probably by uploading it to the CPAN. The actual effects of this method (as with most of the
methods) is determined by the loaded plugins.
clean
This method removes temporary files and directories suspected to have been produced by the Dist::Zilla build process. Specifically, it
deletes the .build directory and any entity that starts with the dist name and a hyphen, like matching the glob "Your-Dist-*".
install
$zilla->install( \%arg );
This method installs the distribution locally. The distribution will be built in a temporary subdirectory, then the process will change
directory to that subdir and an installer will be run.
Valid arguments are:
install_command - the command to run in the subdir to install the dist
default (roughly): $^X -MCPAN -einstall .
this argument should be an arrayref
test
$zilla->test;
This method builds a new copy of the distribution and tests it using "run_tests_in".
run_tests_in
my $error = $zilla->run_tests_in($directory);
This method runs the tests in $directory (a Path::Class::Dir), which must contain an already-built copy of the distribution. It will throw
an exception if there are test failures.
It does not set any of the *_TESTING environment variables, nor does it clean up $directory afterwards.
run_in_build
$zilla->run_in_build( @cmd );
This method makes a temporary directory, builds the distribution there, executes the dist's first BuildRunner, and then runs the given
command in the build directory. If the command exits non-zero, the directory will be left in place.
