make_recovery says: could not parse volume group name

[Donald Kok]

I try to make a recovery tape. make_recovery says: could not parse volume group name.

vgdisplay and vgscan -pv give me normal (expected) output though.

the ignite log files says:

Run vgscan to recreate /etc/lvmtab,
do make_recovery -ACv -d /dev/rmt/c1t0d0BESTn

did do that Cris, but no change in the output.

[Marcel Eken_2 · Accepted solution]

The make_recovery command has some problems with certain disk configurations. Try to install patch PHSS_21827, which is a new make_recovery. (this patch applies to 10.x)

This might solve your problem.

You can download the patch from the itrc website, and the size is 101K.

Kind regards,
