ignite error - ERROR: File: /sbin/fs/hfs/mkfs not found.

[Mark J McDonald]

Hi

We have a 11.00 ignite server. I have used the make_depots command to create:
/var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.11/core
/var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.11/apps
I also ran make_config -r B.11.11, which seemed to complete correctly.

When booting from the server I get the following errors:

loadfile command failed, retry? ([y]/n):

I've dug around but cant find what I have done wrong. What have I missed?

Thanks

A little more info - The 11.11 media is over 3 disks, so I ran make_depots once for each disk.

[Mark J McDonald]

Found some additional errors:

Could not load HFS commands, out of space? Command was "/sbin/loadfile /sbin/fs/hfs/mkfs /sbin/fs/hfs/newfs".

The configuration process has incurred an error, would you like to push a shell for debugging purposes? (y/[n]):
*
Response was:

G: Could not release the IP address obtained by DHCP. The "/usr/lbin/dhcpclient" command was not loaded.

* Configure_Disks: Error

Just a thought...

The ignite server is running 11.00 with 2004 patches. will that cause problems with an 11i core depot?

Hi Mark,

Issue seems to be with mismatch in ignite version i mean..

Problem likely caused because media that you are booting from (CD/DVD) has a
different version of Ignite than that which was used to create the tape..

Best Regards,

Hi

I am booting from an ignite server, where the depot was created with make_depots from a set of cd's. I am not using a tape....

Im not sure what you mean

The important error is:

ERROR: directory checksum error

The loadfile command accesses the file that it gets these files from via tftp. Is tftp enabled in /etc/inetd.conf so it looks like:

tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/tftpd tftpd\
/opt/ignite\
/var/opt/ignite

Have you looked at the 11.11 INSTCMDS/SYSCMDS/RECCMDS files in /opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11 to ensure that they exist and have you ran swverify to ensure that they are not corrupted (e.g. zero length).

Mark,

Verify if the ignite bundle is working or not by running the following command:
#gzcat /opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/SYSCMDS|tar -tvf -

This command should list the files in the SYSCMDS file and exit without error. If it does not, use swlist and swverify to see if Ignite-UX is installed properly.

SYSCMDS is the Ignite/UX mini-system, which is laid down to disk when doing installs. It contains the commands that Ignite/UX requires to complete the install.

OK

The gzcat /opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/SYSCMDS|tar -tvf - command gave an error, so I reinstalled the Ignite-UX software, and this command now works.

I will get a box cabled back up and test it again.

Thanks
