Ignite UX installation problem

[Raghu Chikkamenahalli]

Hi,
I am facing a problem while installing thro' ignite server.
I am installing 11.23 and when I started the installation, it popped up an error saying SYSCMDS for 11.23 is not available in /opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.23/. Checked the above mentioned direcotry and the SYSCMDS file was not there. So copied the respective one from the ignite source ( it was available under /var/opt/ignite/core/Ignite-UX/FILE-SRV-11-23/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.23/SYSCMDS.

Once again restarted installation process, but this time it gave me an different error, the error is

can you please help me to debug this problem.

You are probably going to want to push a shell to get on the machine and diagnose the error.

You also might want to use tusc to track the Ignite process on the Ignite server. Sometimes that is the only way to spot an error.

If this sometimes tedious path does not work, consider making the /usr filesystem a little bigger in the configuration, or the one that would be next.

You may have a configuration that exceeds available diskspace or a filesystem that is too small.

Hi,

Check this thread:

I think it have to do with the way you rewind the tape: you must use /dev/rmt/0mn
device when doing a make_tape_recovery!

Best Regards,

There is a good chance that the SYSCMDS you copied from the depot was gzip'd (twice) so just copying it in place is not sufficient.

to test:

gzcat SYSCMDS > sys
file sys

If it says
sys: tar file

Then it was singly compressed.

If it says
sys: gzip compressed

Then it was double compressed in the depot
and the file 'sys' is what you should put in as SYSCMDS

What version of Ignite-UX are you using?
