Ignite hang?

I started a Create Network Recovery session using 4.4.29 of Ignite running on 11.11. The step "Prepare Archive Config File" has been active for more than a day now. At the end of the log file, it indicated that make_arch_config is running, but the process of which is not found on the server or on the client.
The client is 11.0 and Ignite B.3.7.95.

and restart it.

Re: Ignite hang?

Is it the first time you are creating the image of client? Check your networks, system patch level etc. Also, check the client system and log files. Check the process status before killing it with glance, ps, lsof, top etc. If this is the only client that hangs, check the configuration.

Re: Ignite hang?

I tried stop install, and ignite suggested to kill the process at the client, but there's none.
Network is perfect.

Re: Ignite hang?

Things to chedk:

On the ignite server

netstat -i 2 # replace 2 with the actual network interface number from lanscan that the transfer is going through.

If there is light to no activity, you are hung.

I believe you are hung.

Things to note:

If booting from the Ignite client, this must be done via the built in NIC, no other NIC will work for boot.

boot lan.ip_of_ignite_server install

It is possible to monitor the login process on the Ignite server as follows:

tail -f /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Common problems:

If you built your Ignite Golden image with the pax patch PHCO_26422 installed and are on your version of Ignite, pax_iux will not be able to unpack the golden image.

Either upgrade Ignite to 4.4.30 or back out the patch and run make_sys_image to do the golden image over again.

pax_iux can't unpack files bigger than 2 GB.

pax after PHCO_26422 or later is installed packs files in the archive of up to 8 GB. Opps!

Re: Ignite hang?

Make sure that client also is at the IUX level as the server & also it'd have the latest pax-patch.

Little learning is dangerous!
