Hi,

This error message occures if the /opt is not properly mounted or mount point is not correctly reflected in /etc/mnttab.

Get the detailed error using
# /opt/ignite/bin/save_config -f
Check the mounted filesystems to know any problem
# bdf
# cat /etc/fstab

You can follow these steps to re-create mnttab.
# mv /etc/mnttab /etc/mnttab.old
# mount -a

Run command to verify
# bdf
# cat /etc/fstab

Then go ahead and run
# make_recovery -Av

Hi,

What is the version of Ignite you use ? I would suggest is to install new version of ignite. It comes with make_tape_recovery that is much more efficient than make_recovery. You can get it from ..

This error is resulting from save_config command. This is a shell script and run it with -x option to see where it is failing.

#cd /opt/ignite/bin
#sh -x save_config

See if you have any unmounted filesystems in vg00. If you have and if you are not going to use them, delete them. Else mount them on some temporary mount points and try.

With Regards,

Siva.
