Ignite-UX failure

[Dwyane Everts_1]

All,

I just upgraded my Ignite software to the latest version (5.4.50), and now I'm getting the following error when I try to perform network archives. It seems very generic, and I'm not sure what it is telling me or what the problem is.

ERROR: A problem has been detected in determining which volume groups and/or
disks are to be part of the recovery archive. This could be due to a
failure of the "list_expander" command. Ensure that the

retry.

Dwyane,

The "vgdisplay -v unsuccessful" error would seem to be the root issue here. Can you run the same manually?


Pete

[Simon Hargrave]

have you verified the output of vgdisplay -v which it seems to have a problem with?

have you verified the output of /opt/ignite/lbin/list_expander as the output you posted suggests to?

Pete,

WOW! Thanks for the extrememly quick response! I looked and looked for this error, and missed it. I must need more coffee.

Yes, I can run this manually.

Simon,

Another quick response! Thanks!

I can run both commands manually on both the Ignite server and the remote server in question.

How is the command executed from the Ignite server?


vgdisplay -v = passed


vgdisplay -v = passed


remsh remotesvr vgdisplay -v = failed

Pete and Simon,

Thanks for the quick responses and help. Apparently, the lvmtab on the remote server was corrupted this past weekend during a maintenance outage. After correcting the lvmtab (re-creating/syncing it), Ignite is now able to read VG00 and conduct a recovery archive.

Thanks again!!!
