make_net_recovery and error

[Stefan Preusse]

I want to use make_net_recovery.
I have setup the ignite server, the nfs exports have been made.

The software "Ignite-UX tape and network recovery tool subset" (version B.2.3.205) was installed via ignite-userinterface.

So far, so good. But when I try to create an archive with make_net_recovery, I get the following error-message:

ERROR: The versions of the tools required for network system recovery on
"ap025f" are different from the versions on the server system
"frsux201". To ensure that versions are compatible, install the
required toolset from the server frsux201, using the command:
/usr/sbin/swinstall -x mount_all_filesystems=false -s
frsux201:/var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds "*"

I have reinstalled the software on the client, but I get still the same error.

Any idea, what is causing this error?

Did you update /etc/bootptab? Okay reboot the system and try it out again

Stefan,

Ignite has some rather generic error messages, this is one of them.

Try the following to uncover the real error:
# /opt/ignite/lbin/check_version -vr -s {Ignite_Server_Name_Here}

Next, check that tftp is enabled in /etc/inetd.conf and for any tftp entries in /var/adm/inetd.sec. If you make any changes here, be sure to inetd -c to restart the inet daemon.

Best Wishes,
Cheryl

Stefan,
For clarity:

The check_version command would be run on the client.

The inetd.conf and .sec are examined on the server.

Hallo Cheryl,

thanks for your tip.
this has solved my problem, there was a problem with the tftp-configuration and inetd.sec

Stefan
