Iginite fails with report of 1 kbytes free

[Denis Muras]

HP-UX 11iV2

I am attempting to create an Ignite backup of 2 of my new systems. Running Ignite on either system produces the same error:

ERROR: Not enough space for archive.
local:/var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch_mnt needs 11019455 kbytes free.
There are 1 kbytes free.

This is not true because I have /var/opt/ignite as a seperate 30 Gb filesystem:

Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/ignite
31407104 95677 29354586 0% /var/opt/ignite

I have used Ignite on another server to back up over 30 units and these 2 are failing in the same manner.

Thanks

Shalom,

Please post Ignite version.

dmesg output.

There could be a problem with open file handles on the /var filesystem if this is an active Ignite server.

fuser -cu /var/opt/ignite

What is the current patch situation on the system.

swlist -l product

This is a new installation.

Can you give us the command you are using that generates the error?

'local' see if the problem is in the client, or on the server.

I have 2 boxes in a clustered enviroment. I attempted to make a copy of the sister system using the X-Services ignite command.

The reason I am concerned is because I have used ignite on another group of servers without any problems. These are 2 new systems and we are ready to make an Ignite Image in preparation for recovery attempt.

I would do "bdf /var" on
- ignite server
- cluster node 1
- cluster node 2

to see where the problem is. Perhaps /var is a cluster share, and maybe not mounted on the idle node.

Basically, the error msg is probably real, just need to find from where.
