ignite error...core dumped

[Sridhar Bhaskarla]

Hi Cindy,


4 - illegal instruction

I believe there could be a problem with vg05. Can you try doing a vgcfgbackup through command line and see if it doesn't core dump?.

#vgcfgbackup -f /tmp/vg05.conf /dev/vg05

It errored out when it was attmepting to run a vgcfgbackup for /dev/vg05.

What happens if you run this command manually?

# /usr/sbin/vgcfgbackup /dev/vg05

If it errors out, try running the command for /dev/vg04. If that works, I would then check vg05 to make sure it properly configured and working.

Start with:

# vgdisplay -v /dev/vg05

Then you could try

# lvdisplay -v /dev/vg05/lvol??

or whatever the appropriate name is for the LV's on vg05. Make sure everything is set up like you think it should be.

WOW. Thanx for the quick replies.

I tried all of the ideas suggested and everything appears to be fine.

/usr/sbin/vgcfgbackup /dev/vg05 worked fine (configuration has been saved in ....)

did vgdisplay and lvdisplay for vg05 and they look fine too.

Any other ideas or thoughts, I'd appreciate it.

I just found the problem. Thank you everyone for the input.

I noticed that for vg05 there was no vg05.mapfile.....so I created it.

Ran make_tape_recovery again and it appears to be working.

Thanks again everyone!

Hmmmm.......

I don't know if this will make any difference, but try a bit of a different make_tape_recovery syntax:

# /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/0mn -I -v -x inc_entire=vg00

Hi!

I'm a little bit worried that your vgcfgbackup received a SIGILL. This typically happens only with corrupted exectutables!

Since the following vgcfgbackup commands worked, this seem to be some kind of intermittent. Did you observe any other strange symptoms on this box? Other commands failing e.g.?

I recently saw similar with a mirrored root VG which was not properly in sync, due to some problems during a disk replacement... hmm.

Best regards...
Dietmar.
