error in ignite Backup

cabloy — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 10:04:33 GMT

Hi...
I just run make_recovery -v -A -d /dev/rmt/0m and received the following error:

message=N::Boot device is: 1/0/0/3/0.6.0

# ACTION NAME:CONFIG_SAVE

save_config: Error - get_system_info failed to get IO information from IO listener.
ERROR: /opt/ignite/bin/save_config failed.

Can someone please help me resolved this issue? Currently were running on HPUX 11.23 RX7640.

Hi

Because, it's checking every device to see if it is a boot device on a PA system.

I would suggest you to install latest version of ignite and try...

Also, have a look on these threads

Yes you can savely upgrade the Ignite software, no reboot required.

Could you post the complete error ooutput from youur ignite command, and why are you using make_recovery? This is the old recovery command, you should use the make_tape_recovey command.

Best regards,
Robert-Jan

Hi,

Check print_manifest runs smoothly or not. Updating ignite dosnt harm your system. It dosnt require any reboot too.

Not related to this problem, but why you have an unmirrored swap?

LV Name /dev/vg00/lvswap
LV Status available/syncd
LV Size (Mbytes) 8000
Current LE 250
Allocated PE 250
Used PV 1

If this disk fails, your system will most likely crash ...

... and now related to problem:

You did a

make_recovery -v -A -d /dev/rmt/0m

but it should be

make_tape_recovery -v -A -a /dev/rmt/0mn

Hey guys.....it was a typo error. We used the command make_tape_recovery.

Hi Torsten thanks..we wiill just mirror the logical swap.

thanks to all for your immediate reply we will just update you once we upgrade the ignite software.
