frecover problem

[csreenivas]

Hi

We have created new logical partitions on volume groups vg01 and vg02, we were succesfully restored the data from tape on vg02, but we are facing problem while restoring the data on logical volumes on vg01. can anyone help me in this?

#frecover -xvf /dev/rmt/0m -i /dev/vg01

vxfs: mesg 001: vx_nospace - /dev/root file system full (1 block extent)
frecover(1048): I/O error in write of file /dev/vg01/data_0
-rw-r--r-- sybase sybase /dev/vg01/data_0
frecover(1073): frecover of data_0 failed

You are out of space on your root disk.
Is /dev/vg01 a directory or a device file?

/dev/vg01 is not device file, its volume group

Your root filesystem (/) is full. You have created a file called /dev/vg01/data_0 which should have been a device file. You do not restore files in vg01 by specifying the name of the device file. In order to restore files from vg01, you must:

- create vg01
- create the logical volume(s) that you need
- mount each lvol on the same mountpoint name on your fbackup tape.
- use -i to specify the mountpoint directory you want to restore so that the result will go into your new mountpoint.

Hi,

>>vxfs: mesg 001: vx_nospace - /dev/root file system full (1 block extent)
frecover(1048): I/O error in write of file /dev/vg01/data_0
-rw-r--r-- sybase sybase /dev/vg01/data_0
frecover(1073): frecover of data_0 failed <<<

bdf --> check any File system reached full

>>frecover(1048): I/O error in write of file /dev/vg01/data_0<<

The data can be transfered several different ways. The safest but most time consuming by pointing mount point

frecover -xvf /dev/rmt/0m -i /new_created_mount_piont

Thanks,
Johnson


frecover -xvf /dev/rmt/0m -i /d

Thank You. We have restored the data to vg02 mount point and the DBA team has started database. At last 50% of the problem has been solved after trying for many options. Learned many new things and realised the importance of ignite backup.
