save_config: error - unknown disk type for /dev/vg00/root, not SCSI or HPFL
grep: can't open /var/tmp/swapinfo.tmp

This is the problem when the "/" is there as /dev/root in the /etc/mnttab file.
Even when you do a bdf you can find "/dev/root" instead of "/"

/dev/root is the entry made when you boot through the LVM Maintenance mode.

Just do a

#mv /etc/mnttab /etc/mnttab.old
#mount -a

Now your root volume (lvol3) should be mounted as "/"

Now your make_recovery should work fine.

Thanks

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem either with make_recovery or make_tape_recovery, except my mountpoints in /etc/mnttab are fine. Hmm, mount -a doesn't show that lvol3 is already mounted... Is something wrong with my root volume?

Tnx for help,

Blaz

Hi,

Well, I managed to solve this one long ago :) The problem in my case was installed GNU utils package, replacing HP-UX one. Like for example grep which Ignite-UX depended upon. Grep on HP-UX has slightly different output than GNU one, thus the error in running make_recovery or make_tape_recovery.

This could be also in your case but it is not 100%.
