I would like to backup only the vg00 with the follwing command: make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/4mn -I -x inc_entire=vg00

Hi,


Run "list_expander" command to verify errors

rgs,

[centurion]

# /opt/ignite/lbin/list_expander -l /tmp/list_exander.out -S -C -f inc_entire=vg00

ERROR: Specified file 'inc_entire=vg00' does not exist: No such file or directory (errno
= 2)

[centurion]

sorry, I make a mistake - here is the output:

WARNING: '/usr/bin/startrfc' is part of a circular link.
ERROR: Circular link error encountered. Aborting.

[centurion]

what I have to do?

# ll /usr/bin/startrfc
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 8 May 27 09:12 /usr/bin/startrfc -> startrfc

[rariasn]

Hi,

Verify startrfc (SAP?) installation.

Remove "link"

rgs,

[centurion]

[centurion]

You need to find what startrfc is supposed to be. Right now, it is nothing but a link pointing to itself. Once you find startrfc, remove the link and put the real program back in place.

list_expander is a program in Ignite4 that performs a rigorous health check of all your selected files and directories.
