Looks like this maybe the mistake:
-x inc_entire+vg00

should be inc_entire=vg00

yeah, that definately was a typo. So took that out and now it still will not work, it's complaining about a logical volume problem. HP had me comment out a lvol that I wasn't using over the weekend. Can I just vi fstab and 'dd' that line out of it? It's commented out right now. But when I try to 'dd' it via vi, I get a squiggly line at the end of the text and I can't delete it. I don't want to screw up my fstab. Any suggestions?

Tried deleting the lvol out but it comes up with an error stating supplied lvol number refers to non-existant logical volume. I'll hit up the guy that had me do this comment out in the fstab and see what he suggests. thanks

Can you post the error message?

Is the squiggly line a ~?

That just means its the end of the file.
You should be able to just comment it out I would think by putting a # in front of the line of the lvol that isn't there any more.

Shalom,

Make sure there is adequate free space in the /var filesystem.

Yes that is exactly what it is. I guess I've never seen it do that before. I'll try commenting it out and report back.

Var is only 46% full.

Ok - I'm back working on this. I deleted the entry out of fstab, then tried again..

lvol9 is the entry that I deleted out of fstab, but of course it's still showing up as an lvol in vgdisplay. When I try to delete the lvol9, I get an error stating that it is not there.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Denda,
For the swap issue, you will need to update your ignite-ux software. I'm assuming you are running 11iv2 OS with VxFS 4.1.
Ignite-UX uses the fstyp command to determine dump/swap filesystems so it won't include in the archive. With VxFS 4.1 the output changed, so Ignite-UX was updated.

FYI,
