ignite make_sys_image restore errror: FS.VXFS-BASE-KRN" was not found

[rajnish_3]

hi all,

trying to restore a image(hpux 11.00) created using make_sys_image on rp2450(A500) using ignite server on rx1620 running hpux11.23.
Error while running post installation script:

ERROR: Software "JFS.VXFS-BASE-KRN" was not found on host "".
ERROR: Software "JFS.VXFS-BASE-RUN" was not found on host ":

Following are details of machine whose image is being restored:
swlist -l fileset |grep -i jfs

JournalFS.JFS-ENG-A-MAN B.11.00 JFS-ENG-A-MAN
# PHKL_14763 1.0 JFS extended map inodes cause fsck failure
# PHKL_18452 1.0 Invalid I/O sizes from JFS causes hangs
# PHKL_18543 1.0 PM/VM/UFS/async/scsi/io/DMAPI/JFS/perf patch
# PHKL_18800 1.0 Cumulative JFS patch - panic:dirty inval
# PHKL_20222 1.0 Fix boot,JFS; IO perf;PA8600; lg. data(1of8)


Is this related to software not available on the source machine or some ignite issue, as from ignite i am using 11.23 in bootsys command , on choosing 11.00 machine goes into multiple reboots.

thanks.

Hi Rajnish,

I my case the configuration that was used on the Ignite-UX server did not
have the correct "release" variable set. This caused Ignite to use the
wrong SYSCMDS (system commands) when installing the archive. The
release variable can be found by doing this on the Ignite server:

# cd /var/opt/ignite/clients/(client_name)
# grep "release=" config.full

This should return a line similar to release="B.11.00".

The release variable and the OS that is in the archive should match.
If there is no config.full file, then grep release out of all of the config
files that make up the particular configuration.

Best Regards,
Prashanth

Shalom,

Sounds like the Core OS 11.00 and the Ignite tools for 11.00 are not installed on the Ignite server. A Core OS swcopy is required when doing golden images, which is what I believe you have tried to do.

Since the Ignite server is an Itanium you need the Ignite tools for PA-RISC 11.00 to maintain installable archives for that OS.

thanks Prashanth, Steven.

I am new to hpux, pls correct me if i am wrong somewhere. Prashanth in ignite i choose release 11.23 while golden image is of 11.00. When i try to choose 11.00 target machine goes into multiple reboots and show following error on console:
LED State: Unexpected Reboot. Running non-OS code. Non-critical error detected.
Check Chassis and Console Logs for error messages.

0xF8E000301100E000 00000000 0000E000 - type 31 = legacy PA HEX chassis-code
0x58E008301100E000 00006B0B 17073518 - type 11 = Timestamp 12/23/2007 07:53:24

on choosing 11.23 it at least start restoring but fails with:
ERROR: Some key LVM or VxFS filesets are missing from the archive.

sometimes earlier mentioned error of jfs.

Steven Ignite tools for PA-RISC are installed on ignite server, since we don't have media for 11.00, we have to take golden image of existing system running 11.00. I haven't got when you says Core OS 11.00 not installed on ignite server.
pls guide what could be done.
regards,
