HP-UX Ignite Error

[Rootberry]

I am trying to create an ignite tape, for some reason it is bombing out now. I've had no problem in the past creating one. Attached is my log from from attempting to create it. Any advice would be very helpful as I don't feel safe not having a current ignite.

make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00

Thank You in Advance for Any Help!

Hi,

It looks like you have a problem with one of the disks, which are included in vg00 (/dev/dsk/c1t2d0). Either you have included it int vg00 or have excluded from it wrongly.

Answer with:
lvlnboot -v
strings /etc/lvmtab and
ioscan -fnCdisk

Hi,

You have a problem with /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 disk, it can not be found in the ioscan output. Try to eject/insert the disk, may be it will help, i.e you will see it in ioscan output.
If this disk is one of vg00 mirror couple, exclude it from vg00 and create ignite backup:
lvextend -m 0 /ev/vg00/lvolN /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 for each logical volume and lvreduce /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c1t2d0

Rootberry, sorry for the mess:
The commands must be like that:

lvreduce -m 0 /dev/vg00/lvolname /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 for each logical volume

and vgreduce /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 for vg

[IT_2007]

Before you reduce disk off from vg00. Make sure to check which disk has been booted off.

echo "boot_string/S" |adb /stand/vmunix /dev/mem

If it is a vpar then use /dev/kmem

If server booted off from other disk then you can reduce all logical volumes
lvreduce -m 0 /dev/vg00/lvol$i /dev/dsk/c1t2d0

vgreduce /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c1t2d0

Rebooted the system and is not coming up, I am going to try a Bo Alt disk

[Rootberry]

System is coming back up on the mirror, before I rebooted i did that command you said
echo "boot_string/S" |adb /stand/vmunix /dev/mem it was saying /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 which is the mirror. I will try those vgreduce commands now so that i can get an ignite tape in case of the other disk failing.

[IT_2007]

ok. It is always to good to check with which disk has been booted off before you do lvreduce and vgreduce commands on vg00.
