Hi Piyut,

Server dump can cause from either H.W or O.S so that you should make sure that your server is dumped not from H.W.
You can recover from Ignite tape you made before by following:
-put Ignite tape to tape drive
-reboot server
-when server ask "press any key in 10 seconds to enter to PDL". Press key to enter
-use command : sea ipl (search bootable device). If it show sequential access media with path_number do,
- bo path_number, interactive with ISL, press "n"
It will automatically recover all vg00 to your server.
Hope it will solve your problem,

HMT

Hi,

If you login on the GSP and select the particular partition. Do you see any errors, can you go to the BCH or ISL mode.
Did you change anything with parmgr?

gurus,

Last night i have been restore the os from the last recovery tape (1st february 2005)and now this system going normally but the application can't up yet.

dump coz of OS, not hardware.

Piyut,

What application are you using and what error is it reporting ? Post this to have a better idea of your problem.

Another thing is to remirror your System disks if it was allready mirrored as by default Ignite don't do that.

when boot and before make dump, there is an error "need driver", sorry, i'm forget.this server is connected to storedge IBM.
now, this server going normally after i recover.

gurus, application that running in this server is metrica, application for monitoring network performance in GSM.everyday this server accept data form OMC to be process by metrica. folder to accept this data is /metrica/spool2 and /metrica/spool.now, both folder is full.under /metrica/spool2, there is folder etc that same eith /etc.can I remove folder etc under /metrica/spool2 ???

Piyut,

I have no idea regarding this sort of application but etc folderin general corresponds to configuration files. So /metrica/spool2/etc should be corresponding to your application configuration files, so it might crash your application. A better idea would be to either remove log, tmp & core files under these subdirectories.I would suggest consult application specilist before doing that.

Another way is to avoid removing files and making space by increasing file system sizes if your resources allow that.
Choice is yours.

HTH,
