Hi,

Are there any log for last ignite backup on /var/opt/ignite/clients/server_name/recovery/latest/recovery.log? If there isnt any i think there can be 2 major problem:

1-)Clients never run the ignite job

2-)Clients couldnot reach the ignite server

Shalom

To get good help please provide:

1) output uname -a
2) Command used to create the ignite backup, not just the error message.

How do you do your ignite backup? crontab? Have you looked at the cron logs?

/var/adm/cron/log

yes my ignite back runs on cron job in all servers,

we isolated the erorr it was in ingnite servers, one admin touched the export file & made some chnages so while ignite clients try to mount & pointing the image to the ignite server dir, it failed.

Thanks for all who replied to my post, we had a backup copy of export file & manually we re-export the exports by exportfs -a then now it runs ok.

Thanks.
