Ignite Problem

[Ali Imran Abbas]

I am having problem with ignite backup on one of servers.
The process is getting terminated with the following error code:

* Checking Versions of Ignite-UX filesets
ERROR: Failed to open tape device /dev/rmt/0mn:Permission denied (errno =
13).
ERROR: Check tape device failed.

Can any one give me clue how to solve this problem.

Regards,

Ali Imran

Hi:

I hope that you are running as 'root'. That said, your device file should have read/write permissions:

crw-rw-rw- 2 bin bin 205 0x030040 Mar 11 12:17 /dev/rmt/0mn

Make sure, too, the your tape is write-enabled.

Regards!

Hi,

you can check if it's write protected. Related to permission error, check permissions of /dev/rmt/0mn.

It appears as if the disk c16t7d0 has failed.

Check the disk and replace it if necessary.

Just a note about Ignite: it is one of the best tools to verify basic integrity of the system. Problems with disks, configurations, mountpoints, etc, all will cause Ignite to quit. This means that you aren't taking a copy of a broken system.

With regards to the following error if you are running make_tape_recovery and getting the below error

var/opt/ignite/recovery/2008-06-12,15:56/system_cfg vg00
lvlnboot: Couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c16t7d0":

>> I would suggest you to install the latest version of Ignite, to resolv all the know issue

Download it from

Hi (again):

The message '"lvlnboot: Couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c16t7d0"' suggests a bad disk, as already noted by Patrick.

There is nothing (at this level) wrong with the version of Ignite and installing a new version isn't going to solve anything!

Try:

# lvlnboot -v

...and I'll bet that you get the same error.

Regards!
