Not able to take ignite backup.

[Vivek.D]

Command issued : make_tape_recovery -AIv -a /dev/rmt/79mn

Iam getting this error while taking ignite backup.



* Checking Versions of Ignite-UX filesets

Shalom,

This can be caused by a disk problem in /var filesystem logical volume.

Could be a command option issue:

#!/usr/bin/sh
/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -Av -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exclude=/home -d "description"

Just add your -a /dev/rmt/79mn

That might not be the correct tape device to use.

Hi,

What version of Ignite are you running?

----
* JAGag29820 fix. When running previous versions of the save_config command you may see the following ERROR messages:

ERROR: source_read failed: Invalid argument (errno = 22).
ERROR: sourefile_open: source read: Invalid argument (errno = 22).

It is safe to ignore these ERRORs since loadfile is used to look for ISL on each disk to determine bootability during I/O inventory. Beginning with this release, the ERROR messages are redirected to /dev/null.

Its a known error. You can ignore this error.
After some time backup will start automatically
