Ignite Recovery tape

[Mahendra Luhar]

make_recovery process fails with the following message "make_recovery(482): call to system failed error=0"
Then activates the cleanup process.
The system is a HP9000 D370/2 way running HPUX10:20.
I've removed the ignite software and installed the latest version from the December 2001 10:20 apps cd.

Solution

Your errors indicate that you are using an invalid media. For example,
you could be using a 120 meter tape instead of a 60 meter tape.

To resolve this problem:

1. Check and/or replace your tape with either the correct media, or
a new media.

2. Ensure that the media is not write-protected.

3. Ensure that the media is properly inserted into the tape drive.

The problem was caused by "stale" extents on selected vg00 lvols on the mirrored half.
Normal resync commands were failing with I/O errors. I re-seated the HAAS disk thus activating the sync process.
Problem resolved.
