Hi ,

please suggest to resolve the following :---

During the ignite recovery of server B.11.11 U 9000/800 (64 bit), it gives me the following error.

(1)

make_medialif: ERROR: Unsupported local system OS release value ("B.11.11"); no "/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.11" directory exists on this system. Either that release is not supported by Ignite-UX or the needed install kernel and RAM file system files are not installed on this system. Invoke "make_medialif -?" for a usage summary.

Shalom,

This archive is not good. I don't think there is anything you can do to fix it.

To diagnose the cause and avoid it happening again you should look at the log of the image build. Clearly there was some problem with it, or perhaps there is a bug in this version of Ignite.

I know its not great news.

It could also be possible the Ignite image is not compatible with the target system. This would be a hardware issue.

Do you know the model number of the source and destination system?

I would suggest you to download the Ignite version from the web which should support all systems and the software from media would only support the targeted version.

Check release notes here
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/IUX/docs/release_note.pdf

and software from here

Hi,


I have exported the non root volume group (/dev/lathapp) before booting from tape and while recovering bootable image from tape we getting error, please refer attachment.

It is not giving the window of " welcome to the hp-ux installation /recovery processor " and "advance installation mode".

please suggest.

Thank you Kindly
Subodh.

your screen shot gives no indication of how the tape was created. If you didn't provide the -i switch, then it won't automatically bring up the advanced stuff and must be interrupted. See:
