How can I set correct permissions on files if it seems these files are created when I run make_tape_recovery?
When I tried to recover the system from this tape I couldn't be able because after 20 hours the boot screen staid at :
ISL booting hpux (;0):INSTALL


Thank you

Hi Mauro,

I would think 2 things about that NOTE:

1. if it is only a NOTE and not an error then I wouldn't think about a problem;
2. permissions on creation of a file depend from umask. Then check umask by

umask

and check that it is (at least) 022.
This umask setting will create file with permissions as the following:

umask 022
touch test
ll test
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 0 Feb 23 10:31 test

test is a file world-readable.
Then re-launch make_tape_recovery.

Hope this helps you.

Best regards,
Fabio

Fabio, the note isn't an error but it says "this may cause clients to fail to read it during an installation" so recovery precedure could be compromised.
I know I could change umask but why (if this is the problem) Ignite administration guide don't mind this check? (seen that I didn't change default hpux root umask)

thank you
