Problem with Ignite

[PUJOL Gregory]

Hi

I have the same problem with 2 machines (HP-UX 10.20, D330, D230)

I want to make a system recovery with Ignite ( make_recovery -A -d /dev/rmt/0mn ) and an error occurs :
make_recovery(390): Call to /opt/ignite/bin/save_config failed.
Check the /var/opt/ignite/logs/makrec.log1 file.
Cleanup

When I edit the makrec.log1 file, I can read :
********
Started - Thu Aug 10 11:47:05 2000
********
make_recovery -A -d /dev/rmt/0mn
/usr/sbin/vgdisplay -v "vg00"

"/opt/ignite/bin/save_config" -f "/var/opt/ignite/recovery/config.recover" "vg00
" >> "/var/opt/ignite/logs/makrec.log1" 2>&1
save_config: error - unknown disk type for /dev/vg00/lvol3, not SCSI or HPFL
grep: can't open /var/tmp/swapinfo.tmp
grep: can't open /var/tmp/lvlnboot.tmp
save_config: error - cannot determine primary swap size

********
Ended Unsuccessfully - Thu Aug 10 11:48:02 2000

And in every command, there's nothing about /dev/vg00/lvol3. There's info for /dev/root.
And this is the same problem on 2 machines (I have 8 HP-UX 10.20).

Thanks in advance.

Maybe you have some strange disks on your system. Give us the output from;
ioscan -fknCdisk and vgdisplay -v vg00 | grep "PV N"
and we can see what types of disks you have and if theyre supported HP ones.

Hi,

possibly you see for the root filesystem (/)
in bdf not the logical volume (/dev/vg00/lvol3) but the disk device (/dev/dsk/c0t6d0)
To correct this situation make the following:
cd /etc
mv mnttab mnttab.old
bdf
The bdf command takes a little time and rebuilds the /etc/mnttab file.
Now the device for / should be correct.

Hope this helps

Andrew

The outputs are :

Hi,

nothing wrong with your disks, theyre fine. So the error is a bit misleading. Next thing to check is the version of Ignite and the patch level you are running;
swlist -l bundle

[Andreas Voss · Accepted solution]

Hi,

let me correct:
If you see /dev/root for / filesystem by bdf
do the same procedure i've told.

[Andreas Voss]

Hi,

now i see:
/dev/root 122880 17330 98988 15% /
That's the thing to correct !
Have you tried to rename /etc/mnttab and then run bdf ?

The outputs for print_manifest is :

Thanks a lot, Andrew ....

Now, everything is right and my system baskup is now running.
But I don't understand why the /etc/mnttab was wrong on 2 machines and correct on the others...

But the more important is that my backup is ok!

I believe you get this situation by booting into maintainance mode (hpux -lm).
