Ignite warning question

[MQ'ski]

I noticed one warning during backup creation via ignite:

* Creating Archive File List
WARNING: list_expander returned a warning,please check the log file.
* Creating Archive Configuration

This causes that:
======= 11/21/07 12:59:03 MET make_tape_recovery completed with warnings

How to ensure that this backup is recoverable or be sure that this warning is not important.

Marcin,

Most list_expander Warnings are just that, a Warning, they tend to happen because the list_expander is run as a non root user, and when that happens it just indicates that you will not be able to recover if the remote server is down ( of course ).

If the archive completed successfully you should be fine.

Regards,

Jaime.

Hi Marcin,

Warnings from list_expander can usually be safely ignored : it often complains about temporary files.

What do you find exactly in the logfile about this warning ?

Yes the archive completed.
Could you be so kind and add some comments abaut this list_expander?

Hi Eric. Which log in addition should be checked?

[Jaime Bolanos Rojas.]

Marcin,

This is the log that the Warning is talking about:

/var/opt/ignite/clients//recovery/latest

To find the details of the warning, the following can be used:

# /opt/ignite/lbin/list_expander > /tmp/list_expander.log

Regards,

Jaime.

Did you issue "make_net_recovery -s ..." or "make_tape_recovery ..." ?

With make_net_recovery you will find the log on the server side in /var/opt/ignite/clients//recovery//recovery.log

is the name of the client server where you did make_net_recovery and is date and time of backup.

For make_tape_recovery i am not pretty sure (did not make tape ignite for a long long time). I think you find find the log under /var/opt/ignite under local or logs

This was make_tape_recovery...
Localy done backup

[Eric SAUBIGNAC · Accepted solution]

Well, logs of "make_tape_recovery" are located on the server itself, under /var/opt/ignite/recovery//recovery.log
