Golden Image push failed with -"lvcreate: "/dev/vg00/group": not a character device." error message.

[Pushkaraj]

Hi Everyone,
I was pushing the golden image unattended from IG, with bootsys command, I was using -'bootsys -a -v -i ' command. Endpoint restarted fine, but while creating logical volume "/dev/vg00/lvol1" failed saying - "lvcreate: "/dev/vg00/group": not a character device." Image is OK, it got installed on other endpoints, for your reference I am attaching the config file and install.log

I believe I have gotten this error when I have gotten my image OS mixed up with my save_config OS.

What I mean is, I have a golden image that is HPUX 11.11, but my save_config was from an HPUX 11.23 machine. - The save_config output saves the release string:

release="B.11.11"

I do remember seeing this problem once or twice over the years, and think this was the problem, but it was a while ago...

I cannot see your attachment from browser... but I like to use the bootsys "-f" option, forces Ignite to ignore old config files used previously.

Hi,

I am getting this error everytime, I am pasting here configuration stored at-/var/opt/ignite/clients/0x00306E482CBF location. To install the image on client am using the command- 'bootsys -a -v '. In this configuration file I have strong feel part of creation of logical volume is wrong. Can anyone of you please get what is wrong here?

Thanking you in advance..
