make_recovery error!!

[Amit Manna_6]

HI,
On a HP server running 11.00 I am getting following error for make_recovery
make_recovery -A -v -d /dev/rmt/0m
NOTE: make_recovery(103): The make_recovery command will be replaced by
make_tape_recovery. Both commands are supported in this
release (Ignite-UX Revision 3.2). Please read the man page
make_tape_recovery(1M) for usage of the new command. In a
future release, make_recovery will be replaced by a script
that calls make_tape_recovery.
Option -A specified. Entire Core Volume Group/disk will be backed up.

Can anybody suggest please.

The error seems pretty clear... you have some logical volumes and mount points configured in /etc/fstab that do not exist on the system. If they are supposed to exist, you need to find out why they aren't there. If they shouldn't exist, remove them from /etc/fstab.

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi Amit:

It would seem that you have entries in '/etc/fstab' that reference logical volumes that are not on your system. If this is correct, I would remove these.

Other than that, you are using a very, very old version of Ignite. I would download a current version; install it; and use 'make_tape_recovery' --- the command that replaces 'make_recovery'. You should be using much more current software.

Download Ignite from here:

http://www.docs.hp.com/en/IUX/download.html

To make a tape archive of vg00, you can use:

# /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn

Hi,

Did you check the errors it is complaining about.

The ignite process is complaining that an entry exist in /etc/fstab, but it is unable to stat the device which means it cannot find that device, in other words the lv it is complainging about does not exist on this system. However a valid entry for that device / lv exist in the /etc/fstab.

Hope this helps.

Hello Amit,

Could you post the output of...

# ll /dev/vga_xlarge_01/*

...reason being that you might have to recreate that file.

cheers!

Now i am getting this error:

Creating boot LIF
make_recovery(466): Call to /opt/ignite/bin/make_medialif failed.
Check the /var/opt/ignite/logs/makrec.log1 file.
Cleanup



Can anybody help urgently.

Hi,

What is the error in the file
var/opt/ignite/logs/makrec.log1 ?

HTH,
Devender

[Amit Manna_6]

The error is

make_medialif: error - gzip failure on scripts, probable insufficient disk space in /var/tmp.

there is 490 MB space available in /var/tmp

Amit,
Firat of all it would be nice for you use
make_tape_recovery
so goto
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/IUX/download.html
try to install new version of ignite.
it is very easy then
try to empty /var/tmp dir because once upon
a time i faced an error which cause of full of /var because while running make_tape_recovery it fills up the /var so
this dir must have enough spcae;
