You might need to specify the full path to the make_tape_recovery command.

Try:

nohup /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -Av -a /dev/rmt/16mn &

Without nohup, is it working ?

Do you use Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM)?

hi,

check if all ignite parts are installed

swinstall |grep IGNITE

execute the make_tape_recovery without any argument/switches.

Shattia,

Take a look at the following:

1. # which make_tape_recovery
2. # swlist -l product | grep -i ignite
3. # ls -l /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery
4. # ioscan -fn /dev/rmt/16mn
5. # run the above command without nohup & &.

16mn doesn't seems to be a local tape drive, can you check # ioscan -fnC tape

Hth,
Raj.

It appears your ignite software has been corrupted. You'll need to remove and reinstall it.
