nothing display.
ioscan tape claimed. then i try copy file and view using tar command can.
So why make tape recovery cannot run?

You might need to specify the full path to the make_tape_recovery command.

Try:

nohup /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -Av -a /dev/rmt/16mn &

I try bro,
still not working. BTW my drive HP C5683A and tape :DDS-3 format

[Hakki Aydin Ucar]

Without nohup, is it working ?

Do you use Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM)?

[Shattia Moorthi]

seems like it not create recovery log.
i check recovery.log file it was o bytes.

hi,

check if all ignite parts are installed

swinstall |grep IGNITE

execute the make_tape_recovery without any argument/switches.

Hi,

Can you please paste (ioscan -fnC tape) o/p here.

Shattia,

Take a look at the following:

1. # which make_tape_recovery
2. # swlist -l product | grep -i ignite
3. # ls -l /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery
4. # ioscan -fn /dev/rmt/16mn
5. # run the above command without nohup & &.

16mn doesn't seems to be a local tape drive, can you check # ioscan -fnC tape

Hth,
Raj.

[Raj D.]

Also: #find / -name make_tape_recovery -exec ls -ld {} +

It appears your ignite software has been corrupted. You'll need to remove and reinstall it.

how to remove and install ignite software. anybody can give command. RX6600 HpUx 11.31.

[Dennis Handly]

>how to remove and install ignite software.

swremove Ignite-UX

Download the latest ignite from:
https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=IGNITEUXB

Then use swinstall.

[Shattia Moorthi]

Hi:

Cleaning up after an update (if needed)
If you select different Ignite-UX bundles for update than were previously installed, you can end up with a mix of old and new software on the system. This situation causes problems when you try to run the make_tape_recovery (1M) and make_net_recovery (1M) commands. Both commands check the local system to ensure that Ignite-UX does not have mixed-revision filesets before allowing the command to run. Mixed-revision filesets will cause the command to end in error, and a recovery archive will not be created. If you accidentally create this scenario, you can clean up the older software using the swremove (1M) command, or you can add newer software using the swinstall (1M) command.
For example, assume you installed the Ignite-UX-11-11 bundle from version C.7.2.x. A few months later you realize you need to support HP-UX 11i v2. Using your current OE media, you install the Ignite-UX-11-23 bundle. However, the newer media contains Ignite-UX version C.7.3.x. The second installation results in mixed versions of Ignite-UX. To correct this situation, you can either remove the Ignite-UX-11-11 bundle (assuming you no longer need to support HP-UX 11i v1), or you can install the C.7.3x version of the Ignite-UX-11-11 bundle.
