Hi ,

This is a normal error as the script looks for the lifls for all the disk under /dev/dsk/c* ,

You can wait till it gets next function to execute in the script , and at the end it builds the hostname.tar.gz file.

hth,

Here is the function , that it try to execute for lifls collection:

function _lifinfo {
FILE=$OUT_DIR/lifinfo.html
echo "LIF info  "
echo "`_title LIF directory contents`" > $FILE
echo "Information on root, boot, swap, and dump logical volumes:\n" >> $FILE
echo "\n`lvlnboot -v`\n\n" >> $FILE
for i in `ls /dev/rdsk/c*`
do
echo "lifls -il $i" >> $FILE
lifls -il $i >> $FILE
echo "\n" >> $FILE
done >> $FILE
echo "`_footer`" >> $FILE
}
-----------------------

You can hash it , to bypass.

hth,
Raj.
