Failed to creating directory???

[cl_5]

Hi forumers!

I want to create an image from a RX2600 Itanium Machine with HP-UX 11.22. The Ignite Server I am running is a ZX2000 with 11.23. While I am trying to "Add new client for recovery" I get the following error:
ERROR: Could not make directory:
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/client_mnt/0x00306EEAB247: Permission denied
(errno = 13)
ERROR: Failed creating the directory
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/client_mnt/0x00306EEAB247:Permission denied
(errno = 13)
ERROR: Failed to creaet NFS mount directories for configuration files.

I set up the NFS Server and export the /var/opt/ignite directory.

Any ideas ?

Kind regards

hi
do you have execute permission on that directory /var/opt/ignite
i thing to be able to create a directory you must have a execute permission.

There is nothing complex about this message.

The user trying to create the directory doesn't have permissions. Use ll -d on the directory right above it and make chmod corrections to accomodate Ignite.

as it seems NFS, make sure you have correct permissions on the NFS server.

make sure you have Read-Write permission on the share in NFS server...

Hi,

Hi -

you do not have nfs turned on your system. Ignite nfs mounts the client diretory(/var/opt/ignite/clients//all_files

Hence it is failing. enable nfs and it would be working.

Thanks

Thanks for answering.

For testing I gave rwx-permissions to all users. And I also tried to create the directory and link manually. The directories I created was owned by root. So I change to user bin, but it has no effect. I receive the same error message as above.

Hi,

I once had a similar issue, and tried all sort of things which you have been advised too....

Only thing that *did* help in my case was to swremove the Ignite SW and do a fresh re-install. Might want to try that too, also it might be an issue of 11.22 vs. 11.23. Try to get IUX 5.0.35 (latest I know of).

Bernhard

Hi,

How did you export the /var/opt/ignite ?

- for everybody ?
- with a access=xxx ?
- with a root=xxx ?

This last one could help you ...

If you want your NFS CLient's root to be an administrator of NFS server's exported filesystems you should use -root=hostname option !!. Or else the root on NFS client will not have root permission !!

For e.g. u can od htis

exportfs -i -o access=host1:host2,root=host1,host2

It works!

The solution was the reinstallation of Ignite Software. Thanks Bernhard Mueller from M.....t :-)

Thanks all for your assistance!
