Hi,

The error above will occur when the destination filesystem for the archive is either accessed via NFSv2 or when the remote filesystem does not support largefiles, either because the filesystem, in fact, does not support largefiles, or it was not mounted with largefiles enabled.

In your case , you need to ensure the filesystem "/ignite/temp" is monted largefile enabled.
Check using at NFS or Ignite Server end
# fstyp -v | grep f_flag
It should f_flag=16 if largefile support is enabled.
# fsadm -F vxfs /ignite/temp ( if you have OnlineJFS installed )
Enable the largefile support using fsadm
Be aware you need un-mount the FS if you don't have OnlineJFS product installed.
Then re-export the FS using exportfs.
Check for NFS version using
# nfsstat -m

At client side
# nfsstat -m

Both server and client side you need to have NFS 3
For HP-UX 11.00 and later , it should be there by default.

Ensuring above , try the net recovery thereafter.

Hi,

Sameer is right, this error is because on the ignite server the filesystem is not configured for largefiles

Even with "largefiles", I ran into an 8GB limit for the archive.
