Failed to generate lif on tape

[Robert A Kirkpatrick]

Hi I am trying to run an ignite on a 11i 64bit K360. I have run a make_recovery and a make_tape_recovery. Both backups failed with the following message. System Error, /opt/ignite/bin/make_medialif failed creating boot lif on file. I have changed the tapes and full tested the drive. There is no meida issues or a disk space issue on the host. Can anyone help?

Robert,

What type of drive? What version of Ignite? Has this worked previously?

If that is not a I/O error,then
What version of ignite are you running?

It is better to have the latest version installed?

Also do not forget the install the pax patches

lvlnboot -v

lifls the boot disk. Something is not happy there. I'm interested also in the answer to Pete's question.

Hi,

Perhaps you don't have enough space in /var/tmp or you have the 'bad' make_medialif. In this case, try to change the line containing :

lifinit $ipl_options -v166000000

by

lifinit $ipl_options -v180000000

in

/opt/ignite/bin/make_medialif but I think that it should be corrected in recent releases.

Regards.
