make recovery tape failing

[KPS]

Hi,

I'm running Ignite-UX 4.4.30.

I'm trying to take an Ignite Image to tape and it's failing right in the beginning with the following error:

#/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -P s -I

Any ideas what might be happening here and how I can fix this?

Ken,

It appears that the /opt/ignite/boot/boot_lif file isn't there. I would try downloading and installing Ignite again:

Hi,

You mention that you are using Ignite version 4.4.30, but your output shows version 4.4.29.

I've run into a similar problem before, and I got around it by re-installing Ignite. I think my installation got hosed up the first time and not all the files were there.
