Re: Error on Nickel script
Keywords: "tar", "cannot stat", "Not dumped"
Check the followings:
1. /tmp available disk space
2. Check for possible Bad Disk(s) in /dev/vg00?
Thanks

3. Patch exists.
Anything else that I need to check ?

Re: Error on Nickel script
Check the shell script content.
Modify if applicable, example "tar cvf" to "tar -cvf"
Try the followings as well:
# cd /tmp
# tar -cvf nickel.server.tar nickel.server
# rm nickel.server.tar.gz
# gzip -9 nickel.server.tar
Try to unzip nickel.server.tar.gz:
# mkdir /tmp/test
# mv /tmp/nickel.server.tar.gz /tmp/test
# cd /tmp/test
# gunzip nickel.server.tar.gz
# tar -xvf nickel.server.tar
Try to figure out which portion went wrong.
Good Luck :)
Thanks

Re: Error on Nickel script
if you are collecting the system report.
you can consider using cfg2html.
http://www.cfg2html.com
Download the HPUX depot. Please try it also.

Re: Error on Nickel script
I've tried the commands you specified.. No issue.
No difference between "tar -cvf" and "tar cvf". Both works fine.

Re: Error on Nickel script
Check:
# cd /tmp/nickel.server/
# ls -al <-- Post the output
Are all the files complete?
Copy all the files in /tmp/nickel.server/* to PC. Double click on index.html. Is Server Information Complete? Do attach index.html if applicable.

Re: Error on Nickel script
Last few files exist:
- fc.html
- index.html
The shell script portion of the OS info collection should be completed.
It seems the OS 'tar' portion is not working accordingly when the shell script is executing.
Troubleshoot slowly, check syslog.log, dmesg for other possible System Messages for more clues.
Meanwhile, in the Shell Script, comment out the 'tar', 'gzip' lines:
# tar cvf .....
# gzip -9 .....
Manually perform tar & gzip:
# cd /tmp
# tar -cvf nickel.server.tar nickel.server
# gzip -9 nickel.server.tar
Output file: /tmp/nickel.server.tar.gz
Log a HP Support Ticket to check on the OS Level.
Good Luck.

Re: Error on Nickel script
** % cat nickel.log **
Did you execute the Shell Script as 'root'?

Re: Error on Nickel script
Check for no alias for rm, tar, gzip:
# alias rm
# alias tar
# alias gzip
If alias exists:
# unalias rm
# unalias tar
# unalias gzip
