make_sys_image command failed after pax warning

[stephen peng]

guys,
not seeing this issue recently when I search the forum.
I run
make_tape_recovery -Av -x exclude=/oradata -x exclude=/backup
then:
pax: tmp : Optional ACL entries are not backed up.
pax: home : Optional ACL entries are not backed up.
pax: opt : Optional ACL entries are not backed up.
pax: usr/bin : Optional ACL entries are not backed up.
pax: usr/lib : Optional ACL entries are not backed up.
pax: dev : Optional ACL entries are not backed up.
pax: etc : Optional ACL entries are not backed up.
pax: lost+found : Optional ACL entries are not backed up.
pax: cdrom : Optional ACL entries are not backed up.
pax: mnt : Optional ACL entries are not backed up.
pax: net : Optional ACL entries are not backed up.
pax: core : Optional ACL entries are not backed up.

NOTE: The following files are in the list of files that were on the
system, but they are no longer present. These files are not
included in the back-up:

ERROR: The make_sys_image command failed. The system recovery archive will
not be created.

is this mostly probably caused by pax and I should find some pax patch?

Hi,

Just a suggestion. Ignite supports tar and cpio also and so do the commands for the utilities. Hope that helps.

Is your IUX and OS patched to current levels?

What happened rescently that resulted in the above?

Shalom Stephen,

You may want to have an -x include statement in your backup.

Ignite is not very useful for backing up more than vg00 or rootdg (vxvm). Limit the scope of the backup.

Taking a look at your ignite version and providing your OS version would be helpful in further diagnosis.

Unfortunately I don't see any obvious pax errors above.

>Ismail: Ignite supports tar and cpio

Hopefully you don't have to go backwards by using these.

thank you for your reply!
is this the ignite version from swlist:
XT100SD B.4.4.12 Ignite-UX Manufacturing Supplement (Reference Only)?because there is no "HP-UX Installation Utilities (Ignite-UX)"item at swlist.
and the os' version is B.11.11. attachment are recovery.logs of that of five years before and of yesterday, both failed.
There are threads at this forum saying I should install some pax patch, and I am not certain about that.
Furthermore, how to use tar and cpio to finish the backup?

Peng,

You have VERY OLD IUX Bits.... Please upgradate your Ignite-UX software sir.

[stephen peng]

Alzhy,
which version of IUX I should install or upgrade?

regards
Stephen

[Alzhy]

Whatever is the latest out on the IUX Download Page I guess sir.

Hello Stephen,

The latest version of Ignite is C.7.11 Ignite-UX C.7.1 and later versions run on HP-UX 11i v1, v2, and v3 servers.

You could download the software from https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=IGNITEUXB

Regards,

George
