Vel-UX,

The error says you need more space on the archive mount point:

>>>
ERROR: Not enough space for archive.
15.226.39.6:/var/opt/ignite/clients needs 5975085 kbytes free.
There are 2203392 kbytes free.

- You have only 2GB free space, Depending on the vg00 space you need more space on the archive mount point.





1. Login to : 15.226.39.6
2. # cd /var/opt/ignite/clients
3. # bdf .
4. # use lvdisplay on the device file.
5. # check Free space on the vg.
6. # if free space is there , increase/add space at least 10gb.
7. # Rerun ignite backup from client.


Enjoy,Have fun!,
Raj.

Vel-UX,
again,

>> needs 5975085 kbytes free.

- That means you need to add minimum (5975085 - 2203392) = 3771693 = 3684MB space, for the ignite backup to happen.


- Good practice you should keep 25% extra space on the ignite archive file system. So that failure and FS alerts can be avoided.


Cheers,
Raj.

hi,

sometimes, its better to check the server ( ignite client ) if its posiible to remove some files, rotate logs, instead of increasing of space on Ignite server.

i saw several times, that some admins don't removed crash dumps form /avr/adm/crash ....
if your server have big uptime checl the syslog size ....

Shalom,

System appears to have no lif area.

Someone might have broken something.

Please post:

model

uname -a

Final error is due to the fact that there is no space on /var/opt/ignite/clients, probably on the Ignite server. It may have triggered the rest of the problem.

Vel-UX ,

First fix the space problem, then go ahead troubleshooting other problems ( if comes along.)

WARNING: /dev/disk/disk1_p2 is not a LIF volume.
No LIF files on the boot disk will be archived.

Even the /stand/bootconf not configured properly, ignite-ux backup seems can bypass that step, you have to check it out.


Btw, check following:
# setboot
# lvlnboot -v vg00
# strings /etc/lvmtab | head -n 4
# vgdisplay -v vg00 | grep -e "VG Name" -e dsk
# ls -l /stand/bootconf
# cat /stand/bootconf
# ioscan -m dsf



Cheers,
Raj.
