Ignite - Any Way Of Only Backing Up vg00?
Greetings
In prep for a HPUX upgrade i'm trying to do a HPUX backup. The backup fails as two of the volume groups are version 2.1 and Ignite can not back these up. Server Info below:
ia64 hp server rx3600

SO.......
Does any one know how to stop the make_tape_recovery from attempting to backup vg01 & vg02 and ONLY backup vg00? I've tried a simple "make_tape_recovery" and it does the backup, but it is very quick and reports:
""The volume group /dev/vg00 will be only partially included in the
System Recovery Archive. This means that not all files and
directories on this volume group will be restored when the archive is
installed."""
I don't fancy having to restore a partial vg00 and hoping for the best...
Is the only option is to run the "vgversion" command?
Thanks

Re: Ignite - Any Way Of Only Backing Up vg00?
The typical make_tape_recovery command I use is:
# make_tape_recovery -I -a /dev/rmt/0mn -x inc_entire=vg00
This should back up only VG00.

Re: Ignite - Any Way Of Only Backing Up vg00?
* Greetings Patrick. HMm, I tried that and got the exact same error:
System is configured with one or more LVM volume groups having volume group version 2.0 or 2.1. These volume groups must either be excluded from selection or converted to volume group version 2.2 using vgversion command.
Below is the list of LVM volume groups with volume group versions 2.0 or 2.1:
vg01
save_config: Error - Unable to save the hardware configuration of the system.
ERROR: /opt/ignite/bin/save_config failed
* Looking in /etc/fstab, there are three non root VGs:
/dev/vg01/u01 /u01 vxfs delaylog,largefiles 0 2
/dev/vg02/u02 /u02 vxfs delaylog,largefiles 0 2
/dev/vg01/u03 /u03 vxfs delaylog,largefiles 0 2
* I've tried to take out these three VGs and ran:
make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exclude=/u01 -x exclude=/u02 -x exclude=/u03 -l -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn
* This time the HPUX backup worked...but it was quick and reported that not all of vg00 was backed up..?

Re: Ignite - Any Way Of Only Backing Up vg00?
Is there any reason that you can't convert to VG 2.2?
The other choice is to vgexport the version 2 VGs, run the Ignite backup then vgimport the VGs.
Hopefully HP will upgrade Ignite to handle the latest VG versions.
