Ignite errors with new version 4.4.30

[Chris Fadrowski]

Running HPUX 11i on a K class server, Just swremoved the 4.1.6 version of Ignite and installed 4.4.30. Now when running

make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/1mn

I get this error..


make_medialif: error - /opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/SYSCMDS does not exist, is not a regular file or is not readable


ERROR: System Error, /opt/ignite/bin/make_medialif failed creating boot LIF
file.
ERROR: Failed to generate LIF on tape .


I have been looking for a fix, can't find one.. anyone see this issue? i have the Sept 2003 patch bundle installed. (criticals only).

Chris,

I vaguely recall something similar not too long ago where the file existed but the spelling was different (like Syscmds instead of SYSCMDS or REL_B.11.11 instead of Rel_B.11.11). I don't recall the fix, though, but I think you could just rename.

I think you tipped me off to something. That file didnt' even exist, so i created it..

touch SYSCMDS

and the make_tape_recovery seems to be working. I will know for sure if it finishes but it usually errored out by now, it appears to be running.

thanks for your help.
