Ignite tape creation
I am trying to create an ignite tape using make_recovery -A -v -C -d $TAPE_DEVICE. And in this process while creating the configuration file, it fails saying ".make_recovery(390): Call to /opt/ignite/bin/save_config failed". I have checked the logs and found that mkfs while creating the file system did not determine the proper size (either SHORT or LONG) and fails as a result with the following error message fatal "unable to determine file system length"
Can any one provide info regarding and what has to be done. We create the ignite tape once every week on the PROD server HP 9000 K360 class
When tried to do the same on the DR server which is another similar server HP 9000 K360 class.

Re: Ignite tape creation
#vgdisplay /dev/vg##
--- Volume groups ---
VG Name /dev/vg00
VG Write Access read/write
VG Status available
Max LV 255
Cur LV 8 <---
Open LV 8 <---
Also,
...strings /etc/lvmtab.
Cross reference the disks seen in each vg with the disks listed via vgdisplay. lvmtab may be corrupt. If so, mv /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab.old
vgscan -p -a -v (* preview *)
verify output
Then, when sure:
vgscan -a -v (* generates a new lvmtab when no -p *)

Re: Ignite tape creation
First thing I would suggest is to install new version of ignite. It comes with make_tape_recovery that is much more efficient than make_recovery. You can get it from the following site..
http://www.software.hp.com/products/IUX/faq.html
This error is resulting from save_config command. This is a shell script and run it with -x option to see where it is failing.
cd /opt/ignite/bin
sh -x save_config
See if you have any unmounted filesystems in vg00. If you have and if you are not going to use them, delete them. Else mount them on some temporary mount points.

Re: Ignite tape creation
IF you aren't using it, you can safely remove that software, reboot your box and the Ignite tape will work.
I had the same problem and that is how we solved it. (Rabbit alert!)

Re: Ignite tape creation
Perform a "mkfs -F hfs -m /dev/vg00/rlvolX" on every hfs filesystem.
One of them does not report a -S or -L, it need to be fixed. Then your make_recovery should work.

Re: Ignite tape creation
Yes I think one of them does not report a -S or -L. So how do I fix it. Please provide some steps.

Re: Ignite tape creation
I performed a "mkfs -F hfs -m /dev/vg00/rlvolX" on every hfs filesystem and did not get any output. Where does it output the filesystem lengh. Is there a log or does it output to the screen
