make_tape_recovery error

[Bob Manocchia]

I have a tape device /dev/rmt/1mn that I successfully copied a tar file to. When I try the following make_tape_recovery command I get this error:
make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/1mn -I -x inc_entire=vg00

The list_expander command failed. This could be due to a problem with
the -x options specified - Check the existence of the included
device(s).

I have searched for this error but cannot find any references to it. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Bob,
it sounds there are some filesystems not available in vg00.

A couple of things to do:

- check contents of /etc/fstab and verify by bdf if all filesystems are mounted as expected;
- run just

/opt/ignite/lbin/list_expander

and check the results for possible errors.

HTH.

Best regards,
Fabio
