Hello
system HP-UX 11.11, L Class HP9000
I am getting
ERROR: The make_sys_image command failed.

while running:-
make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire_vg00 -x inc_entire=vg01 -I -v > /tmp/makerecovery.log 2>&1

the makerecovery.log is attached.

(at the top is)
System Recovery Archive

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

(at the bottom is)

Lee,

Run the make_sys_image command manually to see what it returns.

The part concerning "home/cosmos/batch_2.3/CBadmin/data/LOGS/106o73067" - take a close look at that file and see if there are any control characters, spaces, etc. I don't think this is the cause of the main failure though.

Hi,

make_recovery backup in the beginning of its job creates a list of all files, which should be backed up and backs up files according to the list.
As far as I undestand, some files in /home file system have been deleted after the list of all files on the backed up file systems have been created.
Try to rerun makeTape_recovery once more, but previously ask all users to log out.

sorry my fault, the 106o73067 file would not be there as we have a job which runs every minute and increments the last five numbers, this job only keeps the last five that was run.

just a thought
there is a patch for pax command which you need to install.
make_recovery command i remember had some issues running on my machine too
and there is a specific patch for pax as well as make_recovery

I would say get the latest ignite-ux package frm software depot
its available for free download along with the two pathces they recommend
more than likely that will fix ur problem

thanks for your quick and helpfull advise,
we have automated jobs that run in the background, when I held these from running the make_tape_recovery process worked with no make_sys_image failure.
