Hi All,

Looks like you are trying to restore a backup that was made for a different hardware ??

It is not the Ignite , but the contents complaints about incompatibility and initialization

Hi,

it seems that there is a problem related to importing vg.
check the man pages for vgimport.
i think the command should be like that.
eg. vgimport -v -s -m /tmp/vg02.mymap /dev/vg02

Did you interrupt the ignite procedure to have ignite screen in order to check what disks are seen by the server ..
it seems that disks set in the configuration files are wrong (not the same path ..)

So rerun your restore
interrupt ignite process in order to have the ignite screen consoel
check disks and LVM architecture.
You can modify in this screen LVM config, by example, associate vgswap to a disk you select in the list of seen disks ..

If you don't see any eva disks, may be it's a zoning problem ..

Hi,
With ignite, you could restore your image to a different hardware but if the source image have the driver for the new hardware target, if not you will go to some trouble. You could also merge the cloning with an update which are on a depot, like that the clone could have the driver.
To clone to a different model, you have to set _HP_CLONING to true.
When you are on the ignite recovery screen you should answer for it.

I agree with P R, it seem like a problem to access to your EVA. Perhaps, you could first recover the system without vgswap, check for the EVA disk and after recreate the vgswap.

Hope it helps

Hi All,

I restored in standby server.This server is not connected in network.

How to recover without vgswap in standby server.
Pls find the production server swap output ..

Hi,
Go on the console, boot to your ignite tape. After, you have to interact with the ignite process, go to the screen LVM, remove the vgswap. Do the recover. Boot on single mode, modify /etc/fstab and comment the vgswap. Boot normally.
