Ignite network installation fails on newfs.

Hello!

I try to restore my system from Ignite server. Ignite ver. C.6.0.115 on HP-UX 11.11. During the interactive restoration I changed sizes of few filesystems including /stand and then it breaks with following error:

Re: Ignite network installation fails on newfs.

The newfs command is generally used when you plan to restore file systems from backup. So I guess something probs with your login details or settings.

Re: Ignite network installation fails on newfs.

I've upgraded Ignite-UX to C.6.2.241, but it did not correct the situation.

Re: Ignite network installation fails on newfs.

Hi,

From the error message and command "sbin/fs/hfs/newfs -L -s 204800 -b 65536 -f 8192 -c 16 -m 10 -i 6435 -o nolargefiles /dev/vg00/rlvol1", I think one of those value is invalid (I don't know what because I dont have this OS version and all those newfs options...) for not beeing a multiple of 32:

-c 16
-m 10
-i 6435

Re: Ignite network installation fails on newfs.

Eric, it seems to be -c 16, that means cylinders/group parameter. But I don't have an idea what file can contain the string to correct.

Re: Ignite network installation fails on newfs.

Hi,

16 is the default value (at leat in HP-UX 11.0). See man newfs_hfs.

PS: I still don't know where you can change this but I'm searching...

Re: Ignite network installation fails on newfs.

-c 16 is the default value for newfs_hfs on hp-ux 11.11 as well. I guess ignite-ux should work normal with it. It is strange to me why it is asking cylinders in multiple of 32. What was the initial size of /stand and new ( changed ) one?

Is your system patched for those versions of ignite-ux?

As far as the modifying if this attribute is concerned , it is defined as "ncpg" in /var/opt/ignite/INDEX file under hfs attribute for /stand . As you know, INDEX file get assembled from other configuration files like /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_release/* , /var/opt/ignite/config.local.

Re: Ignite network installation fails on newfs.

Thanks you all guys. I've found the solution. It is possible to change cylinders/group parameter during interactive restore. Nevertheless it's not clear to me why the parameter should be multiple of 32.
