ignite tape recovery

[dennis bergman]

I ran make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn

I am getting the error

NFS server (pid1870@/net) not responding still trying

Does anyone know why I am getting this and what should I should do to correct it

Thanks
Dennis

That error has nothing to do with make_tape_recovery.

That error is probably due to the fact that Automount is enabled, in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf check for the line AUTOMOUNT=1, and the /etc/auto_master file has a line '/net -hosts -nosuid,soft' which is the default for HP-UX (which is stupid). To get rid of these messages make the AUTOMOUNT line in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf be AUTOMOUNT=0 nad if you don't need NFS you can do NFS_CLIENT=0 and NFS_SERVER=0

Once that is done do:

/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop

and if you need either NFS service restarted do:
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start

Hi,

Try this command instead.
/opt/ignite/bin/make_recovery -A -C -v -d

Good Luck

Hi Dennis,

Try

make_tape_recovery -Avi

with the tape in your default drive /dev/rmt/0m.

The error message you are getting is probably due to the automounter. To disbale that NFS serer error message , edit /etc/rc.cofnig.d/nfsconf and set the AUTOMOUNT to 0. It is probably 1 at present. Do a restart of the NFS server once you change the parameter. You can kill the automount process too if you want, without retstating the NFS server.

Look at the thread below for now info.

I got the same thing with Uday's suggested command.

Just for the heck of it try moving the /etc/auto_master file to /etc/auto_master.orig the rerun your ignite backup and see what happens. It appears it is still trying to automount /net for some reason.

[dennis bergman]

Patrick
I moved the file and Im still getting the same error

[Patrick Wallek]

What version of HP-UX are you running?

[Eileen Millen]

Have you got any nfs mounted file systems listed in your /etc/fstab file?
We do that for some of our PC samba mounting file systems.

[dennis bergman]

This is a freshly installed hpux 11 server. I have not set up any network file systems.

I greatly appreciate all of your thoughts

[Jay Cantwell]

Dennis, I have run into this several times. Each time I get this error I have a "pfs_mount"
running and I need to stop all the "pfs" processes and restart them. Do a search on
"pfs mount" and you should find some threads talking about this...

hope this helps...Jay

[Patrick Wallek]

OK, lets look at something and try something now:

in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf make sure
AUTOMOUNT=0
AUTOFS=0

now do

/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.core stop

Since you say you are NOT on a network yet, do NOT restart NFS.

Now try running your make_recovery again.

[dennis bergman]

Still same error
I am on a network but i havent set up nfs

[dennis bergman]

" holly microsoft " i rebooted and it works.
i also changed nfs_client to 0
and nfs_server to 0 prior to the reboot.

Many thanks to Patrick, Uday and all who helped
