make_recovery fails after security changes

[Donald Kok]

Dear Forum,

A month ago I was securing my systems by implementing the suggestions of the ISS-system scan.

Now I try to make an Ignite tape. I receive the normal output until the message CREATING ARCHIVE - THIS MAY TAKE ABOUT 30 MIN. right after this (normal) massage the proces stops with the error: PWD: NOT SUCH FILE OR DIRECTORY.

Probabaly my system is to secure. Can anyone give me a clue how to find the problem?

Thanks in Advance

Hi Donald


Have you tried a re-install of Ignite?

Good answer !!

What is your commamd line that you use ?

you can use the make_tape_recovery instead of make_recovery.

With the make_tape_recovery you can see the contents of the recover tape.As the tape is being created you can view the archive in your /var/opt/ignite/logs directory.

#make_tape_recovery -A -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -d "make_tape_recovery300502" -v -a /dev/rmt/0m

check your log file of the recovery tape during archiving process using

#tail -f /var/opt/ignite/logs/


Thanks

What does the following show:
# ll /usr/bin/pwd

Does pwd work outside of Ignite?

Cheers!

pwd works, and looks like bin:bin r-xr-xr-x

command is: make_recovery -ACv -d /dev/rmt/0mn
