ERROR: The list_expander command failed

[UnixT]

Hi All Gurus,

I am facing a problem when I am taking ignite backup of my server...
OS: HP-UX B.11.11 U 9000/800

command executed : /opt/ignite/bin/make_net_recovery -s ignserver -x inc_entire=/dev/vg
00 ---> its a netbackup on server ignserver.

Error got: - ERROR: The list_expander command failed. This could be due to a problem with
the -x options specified - Check the existence of the included
device(s).

Can anyone help to get some clues to work with....Thanks.

Hi ,

U r using NFS for it. Check it using
#showmount .whether FS is exported or not

(the -x options specified - Check the existence of the included
device(s).
)

Hi,

-x inc_entire=/dev/dsk/name|vg_name
Includes all file systems contained on the specified disk or
volume group. Use a block device file of the format
/dev/dsk/name when specifying a whole-disk (non-LVM) file
system. Use the volume group name (such as vg00) when you
want all file systems that are part of that LVM volume group
to be included in the archive.

Check the man pages

There is no issue on that as VG00 is to be backed up...So -x inc_entire=/dev/vg00 looks good to me...but issue is something else I believe.
