Ignite Errors

I'm creating a new ignite tape, currently getting this error once the ignite is completed.

Not sure how successful the ignite was. Is there any way a i can test the ignite tape ?

Thanks,
Ralph.

The only real way to test an Ignite tape is to restore from it. In lieu of that, I would suggest re-running. Ignite started having problems with files being present that shouldn't be, but it removed them, then complained because they didn't exist any more.

I think re-running should end up clean.

Shalom,

The file is not critical.

You should be able to recover without it.

Our policy at my last employer was just what Pete said: re-run and make it come out clean.

Rafael,

The other day you posted a thread regarding Ignite (No rewind device), did the job completed succesfully?
If you run the make_tape_recovery again, the error message should be gone.

Rafael,

These messages have no bearing on the success of your recovery tape, which will work perfectly. They have also been addressed with later versions of the ignite-ux software, which I would suggest you upgrade to as soon as possible. From memory I think these messages were coming out in hp-ux 11.00 with a version of ignite at 3-4.

If you upgrade they will disappear, or you can ignore them.

Kind regards,

JASH
