save_config error in make_tape_recovery

[Tommy_6]

Hey everyone,
Just recently when I would run /make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/0mn -I -v -x inc_entire=vg00, I would get the following error:

* Checking Versions of Ignite-UX filesets
* Creating System Configuration.
* /opt/ignite/bin/save_config -f
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/2003-10-27,12:20/system_cfg vg00
save_config: error - unable to determine file system length
ERROR: /opt/ignite/bin/save_config failed


======= 10/27/03 12:20:53 EST make_tape_recovery completed unsuccessfully

Checked the /var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest/recovery.log and doesn't meantion any other errors. Anyone have any ideas. Thanks is advance!!!

Do you get the same error when you run the command from the command line?

I possible cause is a discrepency between /etc/lvmtab and the actual disk setup, sometimes caused by a missing disk.

I'm attaching a script that checks that.

PLEASE, change the email address in this script prior to running it.

Steven,
I get the same message whether I run the command manually or in the cron. I ran your script and didn't find any discrepencies between the /etc/lvmtab and the actual disk setup. Any more ideas, Thanks again!!!

lvlnboot -v

lifls -C /dev/rdsk/######

Get that from the boot disk on the first command.

Post the output.

Steven,
Here is the output from both command. I used the boot disk device file for the lifls command.
