Ignite Backup, Warning: ?

rveri — Thu, 09 Mar 2006 04:16:46 GMT

Got this message in recovery.log

------------------------------------------
WARNING: 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. This message can be suppressed using the "-P s" option for
make_tape_recovery. See make_tape_recovery(1M) for more details.
-----------------------------------------

With result make_tape_recovery Completed with Warning.

1.Does that mean the Ignite backup is not completed properl.
2. Do I need to rerun the backup.

Thanks,.

Hello,

Did you run make_tape_recovery for entire VG ?
like, # make_tape_recovery -v -x inc_entire=vg00 -x inc_entire=vg01

Hi Arun ,

I executed this command to take the backup :

# /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -A -v -a /dev/rmt/c4t0d0BESTn -n 2 -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exclude=/mnt1 -x exclude=/mnt2 -x exclude=/mnt3 -x exclude=/mnt4 -x exclude=/mnt5 -x exclude=/mnt6 -x exclude=/mnt7 -x exclude=/mnt8 -x exclude=/mnt9 -x exclude=/mnt10 -x exclude=/mnt11 -x exclude=/mnt12 -x exclude=/mnt13 -x exclude=/mnt14 -x exclude=/mnt15 -x include=/mnt1/app/oracle/local

Please suggest ,
Thanks,

I believe the message is simply a response to all your excludes and you should actually have what you want.

Hi ,

It seems to be the message is due to the exclude list , as said Pete. And due to this the message "partially included" is there.

You can check the file 'flist' in /var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest/ if any doubt if anything missed.

Cheers,
Raj.

Also you can check the file 'archive_content' to see the list of incude and exclude list. Under /var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest/

Probably, a restore with the ignite tape you've made will give you a bootable system, enough for you to then go and do another restore from your normal nightly backups to effect a complete restore of the (system) disk in question.

Probably.

Cheers!

Hi,

This never means that the backup was not successful, you should not worry muc about this but actually post the actual revovery log to see anything abnormal other than this.

Just above this warning you will see the file systems which are excluded from the backup out of vg00.

The recovery file shall be located at /var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest/recovery.log if no backup has been taken after this one. If the backup has been followed by that backup than it will be in a directory of that timestamp when backup was taken in var/opt/ignite/recovey/YYYY-MM-DD,HH:MM/recovery.log

I was also impressed by looking at you command, if all these mount points really belongs to the file systems from vg00, then only you should exclude them, if these belongs to other VGs these are not required to be mentioned to be excluded only [-x inc_entire=vg00] shall be enough.
