Ignite tape error........Lifcp:HPUX does not exist

[Eric Zumwalt_2]

Hi, I have a N4000 server running version 11.0.
I'm trying to create a ignite tape but I keep getting this error.

lifcp: HPUX does not exist.
make_medialif: error - lifcp HPUX failed, probable insufficient size for /var/tmp/uxinstlf.recovery
ERROR: System Error, /opt/ignite/bin/make_medialif failed creating boot LIF
file.
ERROR: Failed to generate LIF on tape .


Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks,

Eric

No sufficient space for creating lif?? What are you using?? make_tape_recovery ??
man make_tape_recover, check ption "-B"
You will have to do as follows.

make_tape_recover -B /tmp "other options"
Assuming that there is enough space under /tmp

This is the command I used:

make_tape_recovery -v -x inc_entire=vg00

Eric -

This is the command we use:

/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -A -I -v > /tmp/make_recovery.log 2>&1

give it a try

note that the -I was added when one of our systems crashed and somehow came up via the ignite tape - see man page.

Hope this works - we have an N4000 with this exact command in crontab.

As I mentioned earlier, you need to add option -B to your command. Read man page for details. You will have to do as follows.

make_tape_recovery -v -B /tmp -x inc_entire=vg00

Assuming that /tmp has enough space. you should also add -I otion (Interactive restore)

Actually the problem was because my version on Ignite was old. I installed the current release which fixed the problem.

Thanks.
