error in make_tape_recovery

[bill zhu]

When I try to make a bootable tape using
make_tape_recovery -A -x inc_entire=vg00 -x inc_entire=vg01

it always gives me a error and then failed.

error message is:

* Archiving contents of ovserver via tar image to local device/dev/rmt/0mn.
/opt/ignite/data/scripts/make_sys_image[13]: print: A specified flag is not valid for this command.


ERROR: The make_sys_image command failed. The system recovery archive will
not be created.

I think you are trying to combine too many things. The '-A' and the '-x inc_entire=vg00' are doing the same thing.

Try this instead:

# /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/0mn -I -v -x inc_entire=vg00 -x inc_entire=vg01

Thanks Patrick, I will try it tonight.

Try it this way:

/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn

Hi, all,

Thanks for your reply. I used
make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -x inc_entire=vg01

to make a bootable tape. It was successfully, I know that just include vg00 is stand, but I really need to include vg01. One of my colleage used make_tape_recovery -A -x inc_entire=vg00 -x inc_entire=vg01

to make the tape, he was successful. We think maybe the /var have no enough space to cause this problem.
Just for your reference.
