Error Message Encountered with Ignite - make_recovery

[Andrew Kaplan]

Hi there --

I am trying to create a make_recovery tape with Ignite software installed on a trusted HP-UX 10.20 system. The command syntax that I am using is the following:

make_recovery -v -C -A -d /dev/rmt/1m

At first everything appears to go well, but shortly after the Writing boot LIF to tape /dev/rmt/1m appears onscreen, the program quits with the following error message:

make_recovery(472):/usr/bin/dd failed,res=512,errno=9 Cleanup

What went wrong and how do I correct it? Thanks.

HI Andrew,

Couple of things:

1) Use the no-rewind device - /dev/rmt/1mn
2) Use the newer make_tape_recovery command - would be like:

make_tape_recovery -Ivx inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/1mn

But I suspect failure to use the no-rewind device shot you down.

HTH,
Jeff
