Make_recovery error message

Kathleen — Thu, 25 Oct 2001 19:06:57 GMT

I am trying to do make_recovery -ACv on my system. It errors out and this is what I see in the log....

"/opt/ignite/bin/save_config" -f "/var/opt/ignite/reovery/config.recover" "vg-- save_config: error - unknown disk type for /dev/vg00/lvol3, not SCSI or HPFL
grep: can't open /var/tmp/swapinfo.tmp
grep: can't open /var/tmp/lvlnboot.tmp
save_config : error - cannot determine primary swap size

****
Ended unsuccessfully.

Any suggestions?

What is on /dev/vg00/lvol3, or should I say what was on there?

Can you provide us the output from a "swapinfo" and "vgdisplay -v vg00" ??

thanks

Have you got space in /var/tmp?
It looks like it wants to write some /tmp files.

Hi Katleen,

Do you see other disk related messages in the syslog file?

I think your lvol3 is not mounted .. check/do this ..

# bdf
==> check if /dev/vg00/lvol3 is mounted
==> if not do
# mount -a
==> I'm guessing lvol3 should be mounted to /
==> check /etc/fstab
==> cleanup mounts if needed

# rm /etc/mnttab
# mount -a

Now run save_config again

When I do a bdf....what I have mounted at / is /dev/root

Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/root 131072 38519 86779 31% /

In my fstab...this is the start of the file...
/dev/vg00/lvol3 / vxfs delaylog 0 1
/dev/vg00/lvol1 /stand hfs defaults 0 1
/dev/vg00/lvol4 /home vxfs delaylog 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol5 /opt vxfs delaylog 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol6 /tmp vxfs delaylog 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol7 /usr vxfs delaylog 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol8 /var vxfs delaylog 0 2

but in mnttab I don't see anything relating to lvol3, this is the start of the file
/dev/root / vxfs log 0 0 1002151865
/dev/vg00/lvol1 /stand hfs defaults 0 0 1002151868

This isn't supose to show up like this, is it?
