ignite problem

I installed ignite for 10.01. When I ran the 'make_recovery' command, it came back with a host of errors. Firstly, several lvols were not active(?), or couldn't find host 'name'. Any ideas out there?

Re: ignite problem

Hi Ron,
Check you /etc/fstab and /etc/mnttab file. If you have entry in mnttab and that disk is not accessable you will have a trouble doing make_recovery.

Re: ignite problem

You probably only want to do the archive of your root volume vg00. If there are any disks
entries in /etc/fstab, that can't be found, make_recovery will complain about them. You could comment the entries out of fstab.

Re: ignite problem

Hi,

This is problem with the entries in your /etc/fstab file or /etc/mnttab file. You need to remove the unwanted entries in these files - please verify which entries have to be removed by comparing teh errors from make_recovery output and the lines in /etc/fstab.

After correcting the above, if the machine still gives hostname errors while doing the make_recoery , go ahead with fixing up this issue with the command #set_parms myserver
, then follow the insructions on the screen.

Hope this helps,
Cheers!!!

Re: ignite problem

Hi Ron

If you got MC Service/Guard running on your node and these volumes groups are active on other nodes, it's normal that make_recovery reports that these volume groups are not active.

But could not find hostname is really a problem, you may use "set_parms serverName" and continue with the interactive step by step configuration.

Check /etc/fstab and add any missing entry according to the result of the command "bdf"

Check also your /etc/mnntab and add any missing entry according to the result of the command "bdf"

And then repeat your make_recovery.

Re: ignite problem

Ok, here's what I found. There's nothing listed in bdf, that's not listed in fstab, or mnttab. HOWEVER, when I went into SAM, (I know...bad sys admin, bad,) and checked 'disk devices', it complained that it was unable to determine the model of the disk drive at hw path 56/48.9.0, 56/48.10.0, 56/48.12.0, 56/48.13.0, or 56/52.2.0. I ran ioscan, and 56/52.2.0 is a cdrom drive, and the rest are hard disk drives, all claimed. Now I may be just a little out of my league here, but, is it possible that these devices have gone south? If they're claimed, but unix complains about them, what else could it be?

Re: ignite problem

Or, he said, grasping at straws, could it be the fact that lvol1 is spanning 3 different vg's? I inherited this sytem. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.

Re: ignite problem

post up

mount -p
cat /etc/fstab
vgdisplay -v vg00
diskinfo -v /dev/dsk/cxt9d0
for all the bad disks

Later,
Bill

It works for me (tm)

Re: ignite problem

Hi Ron,
Run vgdisplay -v vg0? and it will tells you how many disk are belong to that vg.
