Ignite-UX for 10.20 for Visualize C3600 workstation

[TTr]

> The Ignite-UX documentation is unclear...

It assumes that you have downloaded the patch as a single file in shar format.

Since you have the patch on CD, mount the cd and try the same command as when you installed ignite.

swinstall -s /SD_CDROM PHCO_20388

or run swinstall interactively.

[Dennis Handly]

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHCO_20388.depot

>Does any of this apply?

With some simple corrections:
swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
-s /tmp/PHCO_20388.depot \*

Those two -x options are probably a good habit to get into.

Patch is located on CD at:

700QPK1020/PHCO_20388/PHCO_20388

2nd PHCO_20388 above is the directory with files sbin and usr which I believe to be the patch contents.

When I attempt to use:

swinstall -s /SD_CDROM PHCO_20388

or

swinstall -s /SD_CDROM/[space] 700QPK1020/PHCO_20388/PHCO_20388

I get ERROR: The depot "hpt04:/SD_CDROM exists but is currently empty. Source connection failed for "hpt04:/SD_CDROM".

When I attempt to use:

swinstall -s /SD_CDROM/700QPK1020/PHCO_20388
/PHCO_20388

I get a SD_Install window and then ERROR: There is currently no depot software on host "hpt04" at location ...

Not sure what is wrong. Note that I generated the /SD_CDROM depot above for debug purposes only.

Thanks in advance.

Before I generated the depot I was getting the same results. The commands entered seem to seek a depot?

[dave1000_1]

And I did not configure Ignite-UX for depot!

Ok, to be able to swinstall you have to swlist.

>2nd PHCO_20388 above is the directory with files sbin and usr which I believe to be the patch contents.

No, you have already looked too far under the covers. :-)

Try this:
swlist -s /SD_CDROM/700QPK1020/PHCO_20388

If that shows the patch, then:
swinstall -s /SD_CDROM/700QPK1020/PHCO_20388 \*

[dave1000_1]

Thank you. But ...

In root (su) if I use your swlist command per prior post I get

ERROR: The expected depot or root does not exist at "/SD_CDROM/700QPK1020/PHCO_20388"

ERROR: There is currently no depot software on host "hpt04" at location
"/SD_CDROM/700QPK1020/PHCO_20388"

If I use

swinstall -s /SD_CDROM/700QPK1020/PHCO_20388

I get a SD Install - Software Selection (hpt04) window and then a Error (hpt04) window that states There is currently no depot software on host "hpt04" at location
"/SD_CDROM/700QPK1020/PHCO_20388"

When I click OK I get a Note (hpt04) window that states The default source
"/SD_CDROM/700QPK1020/PHCO_20388" does not
exist or is not a valid source and there are no other registered depots on hpt04. You can type in the depot path on this host or choose a different host.

When I click OK I get a Specify Source (hpt04) window and selected the following when I generated the debug /SD_CDROM depot:

Source Depot Type: Local CDROM
Source Host Name: hpt04 (system selected)
Source Depot Path: /SD_CDROM

When I click OK I get Error (hpt04) window
that states The depot "hpt04:/SD_CDROM" exists but is currently empty".

If I change Source Depot Path to
/SD_CDROM/700QPK1020/PHCO_20388

and click OK I get Error (hpt04) window that states There is currently no depot software on host "hpt04" at location
"/SD_CDROM/700QPK1020/PHCO_20388"

Ahh the pain. Thanks in advance.

The patch now loads. I had to go into the GUI and get it to work. Now I do not get the pax warning.

However, when I use your prior command (my tape drive is 1mn)

make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/1mn -I -x inc_entire=vg00

I get Warning which states "... volume group /dev/dsk/c0t5d0 will only be partially included ..." and Warning "list_expander returned a warning, please check the log file", and at the end of archiving I believe it states completed with warnings

When I try command

make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/1mn

I get Warning which states "... volume group /dev/dsk/c0t5d0 will only be partially included ..." although at the end of archiving it states successful

When I try command

make_tape_recovery -A -a /dev/rmt/1mn

I get no Warnings and at the end of archiving it states successful

Lastly, and reiterating somewhat from prior post, the sequence I use to prepare the tape for archive is first install tape and rewind, then invoke the make_tape_recovery commands per above. Regardless of command used when I attempt to read the tape after archiving using

tar -tvf /dev/rmt/1m or /1mn I get either:

Tar: blocksize =4
directory checksum error

or

Tar: blocksize =0; broken pipe?

or

Tar: tape read error

or

tape seems to actually read correctly as the archived files scroll on the monitor!

The tape drive is a HP C1537A DDS-3 12GB/24GB and I am using older 60m/90m DDS-1/2 (I believe?) 2GB/4GB tapes, the same tape type with content on it from years ago that I can read consistently. Maybe the archive tape should not be read back? Maybe the command I use to read is not entirely sufficient for the way the archive is written to the tape? Aside note I have just ordered 125m DDS-3 12GB/24GB for the final backup media.

I am close but seemingly so far away.

Thanks in advance.

Hmm, I'm not sure where the root of the depot is. My next suggestion would be to try:
swinstall -s /SD_CDROM/700QPK1020

If that doesn't work, please provide this output in an attached file:
find /SD_CDROM -type d

And if not too large, only attach this:
find /SD_CDROM

[dave1000_1]

Not sure what to do with your last post. The patch is now installed and the pax warning is gone.
