make_net_recovery warnings?

[Doug O'Leary]

Hey;

I have a new blade, hpux 11.31, on which I ran a make_net_recovery command. It says completed with warnings so I looked to see what the warnings are.

There are a number of these:

WARNING: Failed to find "/dev/vgMSD/oracle" in IOTree, will not be added to the
_hp_hide_other_disks list

There's a warning for each filesystem that I have mounted. Obviously, that's not a disk so I'm a little confused as to what this warning is trying to tell me.

Can anyone clue me in?

Thanks.

Hey;

as an addendum: that's any non-vg00 related lv has a warning - and the ignite version is c.7.5.142.

Thanks.

Shalom Doug,

It would be helpful to know the exact command line/script syntax being used.

Any attempt to take ignite backups outside of vg00 is going to generate errors as Ignite is not designed to take hot backups of database for example.

Ignite will when told to back up vg00, the boot volume group get good backups of data there, and the configuration the system uses to mount other file systems.

Hey;

Thanks for the reply. All that's understood. The script is a standard script we use across 100 or so HP systems. This is the only blade so far, but I have a hard time believing that's a factor.

Here's the command line out of the script:

/opt/ignite/bin/make_net_recovery -s ${Tgt} \
-x inc_entire=vg00 \
-a ${Tgt%%\.*}:${Tdir} -n 1 -v > ${Log} 2>&1

Tgt is our ignite server and Tdir is the directory on the ignite server where we stash the make_net_recovery images.

Thanks again

Shalom again Doug,

I manage an Ignite server like Tgt, which I built myself.

There is nothing further of interest in the Ignite log?

You are a little out of date on Ignite version, so that might be an option here.

Hey;

I don't see anything else of merit in the logs - no other warnings or errors, at any rate. There is a section where it looks like the logical volumes somehow got specified as disks which would follow with the warnings that I'm seeing.

I've attached the log file; let me know if I missed anything...

Thanks.

Hi Doug,

Are those LVM VG's created have volume group version 2.0 ?

If yes, then I think you may need to use the latest ignite bits.

Ignite bits with version equal or greater than C.9.* will help you here.

Earlier version of ignite bits won't support installation or recovery of volume groups having volume group version 2.0.

Hope this helps,
