Ignite Error

Ray Bell — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 15:34:26 GMT

I installed ignite on an K class server running 11.00 and when I run the following command: nohup make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -x inc_entire=vg01 -a /dev/rmt/1m > /tmp/results.ignite 2>&1 &

I get an error in the /tmp/results.ignite that's say the following:

* Saving the information about archive to
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/previews
* Creating The Tape Archive
make_medialif: error - /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.00/INSTALL does not exist, is n
ot a regular file or is not readable.

======= 07/18/06 16:18:08 EDT make_tape_recovery completed unsuccessfully

Do I have the wrong version or why would it be looking for a directory that do not exist? What can I do....

Shalom Ray,

Looks like a bad Ignite Installation or at least an incomplete one. Or perhaps two versions installed at the same time.

swverify \*
# look for corrupt and ignite in the output.
swlist -l product | grep -i ignite

If there are two numeric versions, swremove the old one.

swremove ignite-ux r,version listed in swlist

You may need to swremove them all and start over.

I have seen this happen when you don't install the full Ignite/UX package and instead just install the HP-UX 11.0 part. You really need to install Ignite for all OS version listed (11.0, 11.11 and 11.23) even though you will only use it on your 11.0 machine.

Which version of ignite is it? I will download it and install it.

I would just download the latest.

The Ignite home page:

http://www.docs.hp.com/en/IUX/

Download page:
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/IUX/download.html

Form to fill out to download:
http://h20293.www2.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/try.pl?productNumber=IGNITEUXB&date=

I would select the "All 3 Bundles" on the form so you get everything.

Once it's downloaded, swremove the old stuff and swinstall the new.
