Hi,

check if another ignite process is running:
'ps -ef|grep make'
or if your device is blocked:
'fuser /dev/rmt/0mn'

Can you tell us the output?

Thanks for replying,

The output is ,

#fuser /dev/rmt/0mn
/dev/rmt/0mn:

# ps -ef|grep make
root 3986 2953 0 16:19:04 pts/ta 0:00 grep make
#

But when we run the command ,
make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/0mn -I -m tar -t "$(uname -n) recovery tape create on $(date)" -v -x inc_entire=vg00

then we got this output,

ps -ef|grep make
root 4117 4110 0 16:21:23 pts/tc 0:00 grep make
root 4088 2953 0 16:20:59 pts/ta 0:00 make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/0mn -I -m tar -t Mlynx-HO recove
root 4089 4088 0 16:20:59 pts/ta 0:00 /usr/bin/sh /opt/ignite/data/scripts/make_sys_image -tp


Thanks in advance.

Hi again,

looks good ...
Please check this message:
'Please check /var/tmp/ign_configure/make_sys_image_flag for the Process ID of it.'

If /var/tmp/ign_configure isn't empty, I think you can erase that file.
You can also check that PID before, to be sure that that process isn't running.
