make_net_recovery

Thi Vu — Fri, 16 Nov 2001 17:45:59 GMT

Hello everyone,

Can someone help me with this, I have 2 servers (SERVERA has tape drive, SERVERB does not). I would like to do a make_net_recovery of serverB on serverA and this is what I had done:

SERVERA:

- I created a dir. /tmp/igniteUX/recovery/archives/SERVERB and give its ownership "bin"

- Edited /etc/exports:
/tmp/igniteUX/recovery/archives/SERVERB -anon=2,access=SERVERB

- run the command /usr/sbin/exportfs -av

SERVERB:

-run the command:
/opt/ignite/bin/make_net_recovery -i -s SERVERA -a SERVERA:/tmp/igniteUX/recovery/archives/SERVERB

From my understand of the option "-a" it allows to archive into different directory than the default /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/serverB. However, when I ran this command I keep getting this error:

* Creating NFS mount directories for configuration files.
Permission denied
ERROR: Could not NFS mount directory /var/opt/ignite/clients on gemini. The
exports file on gemini should contain the entry
"/var/opt/ignite/clients -anon=2". Ensure that /var/opt/ignite/clients
has been exported using the "exportfs -av" command.
ERROR: Failed mounting directory
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/client_mnt:/Connection refused (errno = 239)
ERROR: Failed to creaet NFS mount directories for configuration files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You need to include, on serverA, in /etc/exports:

/var/opt/ignite/clients -anon=2

Also, please make sure BOTH servers have the same patch level for igniteux.

Sanjay: When I click on the link it keeps bring me to the forum page. Nothing else.

Harry: If I entered the /var/opt/ignite/clients -anon=2 this into /etc/exports file and run the exportfs -av command - the archive will go into /var/opt... NOT the dir. /tmp/igniteUX I wanted it to be, and there's not enough space in /var.

Hi Thi,

you need to have an hp software contract to access the link. In case you are logged in from the europe-itrc you can substitute "us-support" with europe-support". That will open the page.

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your responses. I got the problem working. I took Harry's advice and created /var/opt/ignite/client and then export /var. After this was done, I re-ran the make_net_recovery command; however I got this misleading message:

* Archiving contents of aceprod via tar to
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch_mnt/2001-11-16,13:18.

In fact the contents were archive to /tmp/igniteUX... (as per my command in the option "-a"). In conclusion it worked. Thanks everyone.

Sanjay: Thanks, I did get the info - I think it's the same as /opt/ignite/share/doc/makenetrec.txt. Thanks for your help.
