make_net_recovery question

[Brent DeGennaro]

I just started tinkering with Ignite and attempted to make a network recovery archive and I'm getting this error.


Unable to mount or write host:/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archive/host2
On host you may need to:
mkdir -p /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/host2
chown bin:bin /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/host2
vi /etc/exports (add or modify an entry)
exportfs -av



I've done all of these things so I'm not sure where my problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

is NFS running?

check /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf
NFS_CLIENT=
NFS_SERVER=

set both to 1 on the server, and set NFS_CLIENT to 1 on the client.

run
/sbin/inti.d/nfs.core start
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

on host2, run rpcinfo to see if you have all the required rpc stuff needed for nfs, then run the following on host2 to verify the processes:

UNIX95= ps -efH|head -1; UNIX95= ps -efH|egrep "inetd|rpc|mount|nfs"|grep -v grep; rpcinfo -p|egrep "service|nfs"; showmount -e; mount -p

the last two commands in that string should show you the exported and mounted file systems for host2.

Bernhard,

On my ignite server:

NFS_CLIENT=1
NFS_SERVER=1


On the client:

NFS_CLIENT=1
NFS_SERVER=1

try if you can maunally mount and umount an exported filesystem.

Also use nslookup to verify hostname resolution and reverse lookup of ip adress match.

Mark,

Looks like everything is there.

host:/var/opt/ignite/clients /var/opt/ignite/recovery/client_mnt nfs defaults,NFSv3 0 0

Brent,

How your /etc/exports file looks like on the Ignite server? On my Ignite server I have:

more /etc/exports

/var/opt/ignite/clients -anon=2
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/clienthostname -anon=2,access=clienthostname

HTH,

Elena.

[Brent DeGennaro]

Elena,

I have the same thing.

$ more /etc/exports
/var/opt/ignite/clients -anon=2
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/host2 -anon=2,access=host2

[Francesco Campalastri]

It should work!

Try to mount it manually from host2
On host2
# mount \
host:/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/host2 \
/mnt/

# touch /mnt/test

What happens?


Where /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/host2 stays? What logical volume on?

On host:
# exportfs
# mount

This is from the recovery.log
