[Wood_2]

Hello

when i'm using this command, make_net_recovery -s srvu0011b -n 2 -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exclude=/tmp -x exclude=/var/tmp -P s 1

+ make_net_recovery -s srvu0011b -n 2 -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exclude=/tmp -x exclude=/var/tmp -P s 1

save_config: Error - vg00 not in the volume/disk group
ERROR: /opt/ignite/bin/save_config failed

idem with

/opt/ignite/bin/save_config vg00.

vgdisplay -v vg00 and strings /etc/lvmtab are ok

Shalom,

I got this error 4 years ago.

The response center recommended that if I didn't need vxvm, I should swremove it. I followed this advice and the problem never returned.

Sorry but it doesn't work

[Angus Crome]

Check your boot time settings under lvlmboot, etc. If they are not set for some reason, it may be causing make_net_recovery to miss that vg00 actually contains any disks.

I haven't dealt with this in years, so I can't really give you the syntax anymore. Don't have an HP-UX server at the moment.

Hope to again in the near future though.

I don't see something special

frbpcs41:/var/opt/ignite # lvlnboot -v vg00

I came across this error message recently after upgrading the server to C.6.10.97 and client B.5.3.35 was not upgraded and tried to create an ignite image, after upgrading the client to C.6.10.97 the error message disappeared.

check the permissions of the lvm commands in the /sbin directory.

example
# ll /sbin/vgdisplay
-r-sr-xr-x 26 root sys 815104 Aug 7 2002 /sbin/vgdisplay

Regards,

[Wood_2]

frbpcs41:/var/opt/ignite # ll /sbin/vgdisplay
-r-sr-xr-x 31 bin bin 1783164 Jul 10 2006 /sbin/vgdisplay

and my server and client ignite are both C.7.1.93

[Wood_2]

Ok it's work fine,

juste change bin:bin to root:sys

thank you all for your help
