make_recovery error in HP-UX 11:00

[apple]

Dear HP UX Gurus,
I was running the make_recovery this morning.
when i see the log file, the last line says:

NOTE: File: /var/tmp/tmp_cfg_file is not world-readable, this may cause clients to fail to read it during an installation.

why we got this error? hope to hear from you. many thanks in advance

thank you for the nice reference. but what is umask? hope to hear from you. many thanks in advance

[Shrikant Lavhate]

The umask command sets the value of the file mode creation mask. The mask affects the initial value of the file permission bits for subsequently created files.

the default value of umask to be 022.

check your current value by
#umask

And set it to 022 by
#umask 022

> but what is umask?

This is the mask which allows selected permissions to be used in the creation of new files. To see the current value, type the command:

umask

To set it correctly for make_recovery, type umask 022 just before running make_recovery:

umask 022
make_recovery...

However, since your example shows make_recovery, this code has been obsolete and unsupported for a very long time. If you have added anything to your system in the last few years, you should download the latest Ignite/UX package from software.hp.com. You need to change to make_tape_recovery and change your options (the old options are not compatible). This is a typical make_tape_recovery command line:

make_tape_recovery -I -v -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/0mn

where 0mn is replaced with the actual name of your tape drive.

- thank you thank you thank you Gurus
- i set the umask this morning and run take backup

# umask 07
# make_recovery -AC -d /dev/rmt/0mn

- in this server, we have one NFS mount point that is imported from another server, it keeps on saying the NFS server not responding, will it caused my backup to fail because of this? how can i exclude this nfs mount points to be backup by make_recovery

Output of make_recovery

Option -A specified. Entire Core Volume Group/disk will be backed up.
NFS server kedidi not responding still trying

Hope to hear from you. Thank you.
