make_net_recovery

[chad_c]

Hi,

When attempting to run the make_net_recovery we get the following:

WARNING: list_expander returned a warning; please check the recovery.log file
for details.
ERROR: Could not make directory: /var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch_mnt: File
exists (errno = 17)
ERROR: Could not make the directory "/var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch_mnt"File
exists (errno = 17).
ERROR: Failed to Create NFS mount Archive directory.

Please advise.

Regards,
Chad

Shalom,

make_net_recovery requires an NFS mount and write access.

The error message appears to indicate either the NFS mount point was full, or the access level did not permit write access(failed to create...).

There may have been a problem with creating temporary files on the /var filesystem on the local system.

You should make sure there is as much space as possible on /var and that you are running this script as root user.

Thanks for the response. It looks like there is plenty of space on /var/ and we are running from root. We did notice the bdf command returned something about a Stale NFS (sse bdf output):

Can anyone shed some light on this?

> Stale NFS file handle

Your NFS server is dead. Errno 17 means that that the file exists but since it is a dead NFS mountpoint, the error isn't meaningful. You'll need to fix the NFS configuration.

Chad,

Check if any other instance of make_net_reocvery is running, and u cannot kill that process as NFS stale handle error.

You need to fix the NFS problem, or to reboot the system and to run the make_net_recovery.


Cheers,
Raj.

Thanks for the response. We got the NFS mount cleared up (reboot). However, when we reran make_net_recovery, we get the following:

ERROR: The make_sys_image command failed. The system recovery archive will not be created.

Can anyone shed some light on this error?

Chad

Hi,

Check /var/opt/ignite/clients//latest/recovery.log on the Ignite server for the specific error.

You can also display this log from the Ignite GUI by double clicking the client and then click on "View Logfile..."
