Ignite backup problem.

[Narendra Uttekar]

Hi,
I am getting this error after upgrading the data protector 5.5 to 6.11. While taking ignite backup
ERROR: /opt/ignite/bin/instl_adm failed checking syntax for
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/2010-08-05,04:31/archive_cfg
ERROR: Failure checking syntax of

ERROR: Failure creating the archive configuration
ERROR: make_arch_config failed.

I tried deleting the line number 387 (impacts = "/.java/.userPrefs/_!':!bw"t!#4!a!"w!#4!bw"2" 8Kb) and also tried deleting the file /var/opt/ignite/recovery/2010-08-05,04:31/archive_cfg but same problem. I have noticed that before upgradation of data protector this line i.e.(impacts = "/.java/.userPrefs/_!':!bw"t!#4!a!"w!#4!bw"2" 8Kb)was not there in archive_cfg file. But now when i am taking ignite backup this line is there in archive_cfg file.

Please let me know how to resolve this problem.

Thanks,
Narendra

Hi Narendra,


Let us clarify, where you git this error! I mean, when you are using make_tape_recovery or when you upgrade your data protector.


if you are facing this while using make_tape_recovery command


check the following
#cd /opt/ignite/bin

#./instl_adm

it will show you host IP!

/var/opt/ignite/recovery/2010-08-05;16:27/archive_content is usally created while taking Ignite!

Hi Deeos,
I am getting this error while taking ignite backup. But this problem started after upgrading the data protector on this server.

And also yes ./instl_adm is showing the IP address.

Thanks,
Narendra

Seems ignite doesn't like the strange way that dile/dir is written ;D.

You can exclude the /.java dir from the backup using the -x option:

-x exclude=file|directory
Excludes the file or directory from the archive. When a
directory is specified, no files beneath that directory will
be stored in the archive. If the excluded directory is an
unmounted file system shown in the /etc/fstab file, a
WARNING ("Filesystem xxx is not mounted. It will be
ignored.") message will be displayed.


you can also run list_expander and take a look if it finishes without erros, although I image it does:

/opt/ignite/lbin/list_expander

>"/.java/.userPrefs/_!':!bw"t!#4!a!"w!#4!bw"2" 8Kb) and also tried deleting the file

What happened after you deleted the above .userPrefs file?
Did the ignite backup fail on another file?

[Dennis Handly]

You may want to move that /.java and the root home directory elsewhere than /.
