Make_recovery errror

Ramesh_1 — Thu, 26 Sep 2002 05:35:11 GMT

Hi ,

I had installed ignite-ux on a D210 server runnig on HP-UX 10.20. I ran the following command:
- make_recovery -A -v -d /dev/rmt/0m.

lifinit: can not create /usr/lib/ignite_bootlif
WARNING: LIF volume for bakup cannot be created.

The rest of the job went fine.
But is the tape bootable ?

Thanx in advance

Cheers,
Ramesh

Try the latest version of Ignite-UX for your server:

This looks like a bug, and I doubt the tape is bootable.

Do you have enough space on your filesystem (/usr)

Thanks

Hi,

The usr dir is OK.
The /usr/lib/ignite_bottlif is about 770KB.
I still have about 6MB in the /usr dir.

The OS on the server has been hardened and the /usr is mounted Read Only.
So it could be the RO mount option that has caused the failure to create the file.

Thanx

Cheers
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,

Well, yea...if you can't write to /usr you're going to get an error.

Remount /usr as RW (will have to go to single-user to do so) & then retry the make_recovery.

And no, it won't be bootable at all. Without a LIF, nothing is bootable.

Rgds,
Jeff
