The make_sys_image command failed

Joao Rei — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 11:29:51 GMT

Hi,

HP-UX ia64 11.31
Ignite C.7.9.254

make_net_recovery returns the following error:

ERROR: The make_sys_image command failed. The system recovery archive will
not be created.

Also on the same session I get:

* Archiving contents of systemA via tar to
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch_mnt/2010-02-14,15:00.
pax: sapmnt/P00 : Optional ACL entries are not backed up.
WARNING: The pax command returned a non-zero exit status (exit status 1).
* Creation of system archive complete.

I have installed on the ignite server the latest pax patch:

PHCO_39881

Can anyone help?

Regards,

Joao Rei

Hello Joao.

What command are you using to run backup ?

is large files enabled in the filesystem were you are backing up to ?

is there some kind of logfile at var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch_mnt/2010-02-14,15:00 ?

Hello,

This is the command line I'm using.

/opt/ignite/binia/make_net_recovery -n 1 -P s -x include=/stand -x include=/ -x include=/tmp -x include=/home -x include=/opt -x include=/usr -x include=/var -s $IGNITE_SERVER_IP

The archives filesystem is largefiles.

The ignite server works fine for all except two systems at my site.

Is It pax related?

Hi Joao,

You have to install this patch on the client too.
Look at the symptom of this patch
PHCO_38835:
( QX:QXCR1000588041 SR:8606490862 CR:JAGag43229 )
pax(1) command on HP-UX does not support backup of ACLs and usage of graph files.

Ok, Thanks.

I'll schedule a pax patch installation on the client also.

I'm assuming that make_sys_image is returning the error because of the pax error.
