Greetings...I have a rx3600 server running 11.31.0809. The machine has the FEATURE11i, HWEnable & Quality pack bundles installed for March 2012.
I have installed Ignite C.7.16.283 and removed the older versions. I've installed this version on various other machines OK.
IGNITE C.7.16.283 HP-UX Installation Utilities (Ignite-UX)
Ignite-UX-11-31 C.7.16.283 HP-UX Installation Utilities for installing 11.31 Systems
When running a HPUX backup it fails (log below) due to the volume group version:
time make_tape_recovery -A

System is configured with one or more LVM volume groups having volume group vers ion 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:

real 14.4
user 0.4
sys 0.5
The server volume group versions are as follows:
VG Name /dev/vg00
VG Version 1.0
VG Name /dev/vg01
VG Version 2.1
VG Name /dev/vg02
VG Version 2.1
Anyone know why this reletively new version of Ignite will not backup a reletively volume group version? Anyone come across this before?
I don't fancy having to organize downtime just to attempt to convert the volume group version and hope for the best...
Thanks

SolutionI found the following statement in the Ignite/UX Release Notes in the notes for version C.7.10:
"NOTE: Ignite-UX does not support either LVM volume group versions 2.0 or 2.1 for HP-UX 11i v3."
and also:
"Ignite-UX now supports boot, dump, swap and data volumes for LVM volume group version 2.2 for HP-UX 11iv3, as well as the earlier version 1.0."
The latest version of the Ignite/UX release notes (from Nov. 2013) are located here:

Re: Ignite Version C.7.16.283 - Will Not Backup A Version 2.1 Volume Group...?
Thanks for that Patrick, nice one.
I was suspecting something similar to this but had not tracked down the release notes. I'll read through them.
I've downloaded the latest version of Ignite for 11.31 and the latest PAX patch (as suggested by the install notes):
HP-UX_11i_v3_HP-UX_11i_v3_Ignite-UX-11.31_C.7.17.391_HP-UX_B.11.00_32_64.depot
HP-UX_11.31_IA_PA_HP-UX_11.31_IA_PA_pax_enh_1131_ver16.depot
I'll install these on Wed 29/01/14 and check the results.

Re: Ignite Version C.7.16.283 - Will Not Backup A Version 2.1 Volume Group...?
Ignite is one of those products that you put on at least a yearly update. If you have at least a C.7 version installed already, the newer version will properly replace the old once. Anything older, it is recommended to swremove the Ignite product and install the latest version. Note that existing archives and settings are not changed.
Ignite is very dependent on hardware (I/O, processors, disks, tape drives, internal controllers) as well as LVM and VxVM features. So unless you change nothing (ie, patches, I/O cards, peripherals), Ignite should allways be up to date.
An overlooked option in the make_net_recovery command is the -u to update the client to match the version on the Ignite server.

Re: Ignite Version C.7.16.283 - Will Not Backup A Version 2.1 Volume Group...?
Yeah, it simply looks like LVM version 2.1 is not supported and the volume group would need converting to version 2.2.
Thanks.
