Shalom,

Problem is:
You are using make_recovery

This is out of date and old and would not know a vxvm configuration if it came up and bit it on the a--.

Try make_tape_recovery and see what happens.

With newer verisions of Ignite, make_recovery is aware that the VxVM product is installed. It will attempt to re-integrate the disk groups back onto the system after the recovery. Per the make_recovery man page:

VxVM disk groups not included in the disk groups managed by VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) cannot be included in the Ignite-UX archive. If they are included, make_recovery will error out. Those disk groups will be left
undisturbed and re-integrated to the system after the recovery is complete.

The error indicates that the VxVM product is installed, but not configured. The vxconfigd daemon is not running and the vxinstall command has probably not been ran to
configure a disk group. The options are to either run vxinstall to set up a disk group or swremove the VxVM product if it's not being
used. The product numbers are:

B7961AA B.03.10.6 Base HP VERITAS Volume Manager 3.1
B9116AA B.03.10.6 HP VERITAS Volume Manager 3.1

Then I would also download & install a recent ignite. Then use the command:
make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/0mn (assuming 0mn is your tape drive).
If you still get an error, please post it and we'll try to help you further.

Check the make_recovery man page for furter details.
