Ignite network backup giving error messages.

Hi all,

I am getting the following messages while trying to take ignite backup through " make_net_recovery" command. Can any one help me out on this. I have tried the options which i got from one of the other forum http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=7162&admit=-682735245+1165941982603+28353475. There it was mentioned to check mount volume of root disk, on my system root volume is mounted correctly from /dev/vg00/lvol3.

ERROR MESSAGE IS ATTACHED IN THE FILE.

Here " /dev/vgapp1_us " is a cluster volume group and it is activated on the other node.

Thanks in Advance

Shalom,

This looks pretty simple to me.

A volume group must be activated (vgchange -a y) to be backed up by Ignite.

I recommend you use ignite for only the actual boot volume:

/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -Av -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exclude=/home -d "d
escription"

Ignite backs up the lvm structure of the system so its important to try and have the volume groups you wish active after a restore, active at backup time.

As i mentioned, that volume group belong to the other cluster node, where one of the package is running. This volume group cnt be activated on this server.

I dnt have the local tape drive available on this server. Is it possible to use the same option for the network backup also?
