Error when doing ignite

[Saad Al Barrrak]

Hi every one,

iam facing this broplem when doing ignite.

error - Required files /opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.00/SYSCMDS or
/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.00/SYSCMDSIA not found, is not a regular file or is notreadable

ERROR: System Error, /opt/ignite/bin/make_medialif failed creating boot LIF file.

ERROR: Failed to generate LIF on tape

Any idea please

I have a feeling this may be caused by an out-of-date version of ignite. Please specify the exact command you are typing and the version of HP-UX you are running.

we used the command as below:
# make_tape_recovery -i

The HPUX version 11.00
ignite version c.6.1.44

[MarkSyder]

I'm not familiar with the -i option so I checked the man page. It says:

"It is preferable to use the ignite GUI menu
command on the Ignite-UX server when running an interactive make_tape_recovery session. Running it from ignite causes
any additional server configuration of NFS mounts to be performed. It also provides a better progress report and an easier to use interface."

Have you tried using the GUI? If you need any help setting it up, just ask.

Dear Mark,

I use -i (this is for ineractive mode)

Thanks

[MarkSyder]

Yes, I know - I checked the man page. It advises using the GUI for interactive backups.

Dear Mark,

My Issue is an ignite issue not a backup issue.

as i know the ignite can be runnig any time online.

thanks again.

[MarkSyder]

I think we have a confusion regarding terminology - perhaps it will be easier if I stop referring to a backup.

Have you tried running ignite in GUI mode? The man page recommends this if you want to do an interactive make_tape_recovery.

Hi,

This is a known error, the error indicates a missing fileset in the ignite installation for 11.0.

redownload Ignite, select "all 4 versions" and install this bundle.

Best regards,

Check if DDS drive is ok (hardware check):
backing up files using tar is ok => drive ok.
(drive is C1537A // SMART DDS tape)

problem description in log file points to:
/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.00/SYSCMDS

=> has "read" permissions for all, is approx. 15MB in size.
=> Question: Is make_recovery supported on C1537A SMART?
=> Answer: Yes

..then reinstall IGNITE (swremove old version first).

(SW can be found in internet at
http://www.software.hp.com/products/IUX/index.html
and also at application CD)

=> Then install new Version B.3.3.116
=> make_tape_recovery -A was successful

Hi Saad Al Barrak,

Check the url below (docID : KBRC00016088) about 'make_medialif: SYSCMDS and SYSCMDSIA not found' :

http://www2.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000079988683

Looks like there's some fileset missing when you download the software. Remove the Ignite, re-download and if in doubt and disk space is not an issue install the Ignite-UX package containing all the OS's.

Hope this information can help you.

Cheers,
AW
