Hi Kamal,

I think u need to assign variable "TMP_ARCH_INCL " with some value and also Check whether ur tape driver's path is correct. Try following:

make_recovey -A -d /dev/rmt/0mn

or simply,

make_recovey -A

Cheers...

Hi satish

I already test all types of make_recovery command and I got the same error and I have another system which is the same class, same OS , and the same patching , and this system is working fine.
I check this system for TMP_ARCH_INCL but I can not find this variable on the list
Checking the variables by set, export, and env

Hi vincenzo

PHKL_14280 patch for large kernels which I do not have on my system

regards for all

Hi Eslam,

Do u mean that "/dev/rmt/0m" in ur system is a non-rewind tape device file?! generally in most of the systems it is "/dev/rmt/0mn" (suffix 'n').

And from the messages it is clear that TMP_ARCH_INCL is either name of the variable which contains file/dir name or file/dir itsef. I don't understand how u r unable to find!! try to find with:

find / -name TMP_ARCH_INCL

in the m/c where the cmd was successful and create/copy same file in ur m/c.

Cheers...
Satish.

You can have problems if you don't use 0mn
no rewind
The 1st file written is the LIF area.
Then the archive is written.

I could not read files or recover from a tape
when I had used 0m. That was on UX10.2.

Hi Satish

I mean that I used this syntax

Make_recovery -A -d /dev/rmt/0m
Make_recovery -A -d /dev/rmt/0mn
Make_recovery -A

And regarding the find command the message is "no such file or directory" so it means that the file is missing but I used this command and no output

I thought that may be the TMP_ARCH_INCL is a file somebody delete it and /var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch.include still contain the name of it so I used

Make_recovery -p -d /dev/rmt/0mn to create new arch.include

Make_recovery -r -d /dev/rmt/0mn to resume creation the tape

But I got the same error

I appreciate your help

Eslam
