make_sys_image problem

joseph morrison_3 — Mon, 09 Jun 2003 20:10:30 GMT

I have a problem on IUX B4.1.
Whenever I run make_net_recovery and then kill it before completion(Ctrl-C), I cannot restart it.It says "make_sys_image process is already running", but "ps -ef" shows no such.This happens on all servers.What process is causing this and how can I kill it properly?As far as I know only the pax patch is required or IUX.

Thanx

You may have to reboot.

Hi!

You may have to re-boot to correct the problem.

There probably is a lock file created when make_net_recovery is running. Look in /opt/ignite and /var/opt/ignite for a lock file. It may have the name RUN or PID, or something like that. You will need to delete the lock file before running make_net_recovery again.

Check the documentation for more details.

Hi,
There may be some child process for make_sys_image or lock file.Try by using lsof to find the process id and kill it.

Thanks everyone for your replies.

The answer was right in front of me!When ignite reports the error, it gives you the name of the file in /var/tmp/ign_configure,eg
make_sys_image_flagxxxx.
Deleting it solved my problem.

Thanks Martin for pointing me in the right direction.I was pulling my hair out..(10 points)
