Cannot load the OS archive (recovery archive)
The configuration process has incurred an error. It asks if I want to push a shell for debugging.
My problem is I do not or cannot create another make_recovery for the remote site to be back up today. Any suggestions would me much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chet
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: make_recovery failure
norewind option for the tape on UX10.2
should be
make_recovery -vAC -d /dev/rmt/0mn
I had used
make_recovery -vAC -d /dev/rmt/0m
I could not read any files off of the tape either. You should be able to skip ahead one fileset and then read files with tar.

Re: make_recovery failure
I'm not sure if I understand what you mean. Is that skip where the tape is and go forward and use tar to get to the files?
Thanks,
Chet

Re: make_recovery failure
I realize that it is probably hard to do, but if you have the exact I/O error messages that it showed, that may be helpful.

Re: make_recovery failure
If I type "no" it attempts to boot. It seems either yes or no it attempts to boot. Either way, it wont boot, there is no kernel there. I dont have the exact I/O errors but, it did come to a "pax_ux" prompt. I dont know if that helps at all. Also got an error similiar to this: archive file appears to be corrupt, cannot load OS archive.
Thanks,
Chet

SolutionIt writes the boot image (HP_UX LIF) 1st and then writes the archive in a second fileset on tape. You are supposed to be able to do
mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn fsf 1 (skip forward)
tar -xvf /dev/rmt/0m filename or path_to_file
to restore files from a successful make_recovery tape.
We use other SCSI IDs on our drives, thats how I got into trouble and didn't use the norewind option.
Another problem I had was that our /home directories on the system were over 2Gb and PAX doesn't handle that. I got the same result as you got. I had to do make_recovery in preview mode and then edit the config file /var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch.include
and remove all of the /home entries.
then do make_recovery -r (to use the new config file
