save_config hangs.....

[Shrikant Lavhate]

Hi HP gurus,

Whenever i try to run save_config command to save config to specified file it got hangs.. nothing happens for a long time.....
Machine config: N class server running HPUX 11.00

[Robert-Jan Goossens_1]

Hi,

Try debugging the save_config.

# cp /opt/ignite/bin/save_config /tmp
add set -x in the second lineof the /tmp/save_config
# /tmp/save_config >/tmp/save_config.out 2>&1

paste the output.

Regards,

Its getting stuck at this line...

+ process_volume_group vg00

I mean this is last line found in save_config.out and nothing happening after this. Process went sleeping mode.

Shalom,

Options:
1) Newer version of Ignite.
2) remove vxvm if installed (I don't think it is in 11.00).

Run some lvm commands against vg00

# vgdisplay -v vg00
# lvlnboot -v

Chck the syslog.log file for errors.

LVM commands against vg00 running smooth. no syslog errors. and newer version of ignite supporting is C.7.2 which i dont have. I am searching for its setup but hard luck yet.
comment pls....

shrikat,

To see exactly where save_config is failing, this command can be used:

# sh -x /opt/ignite/bin/save_config > /tmp/save_config.out 2>&1

paste the file here. Thanks

WK,

FYI, here is part of output....

+ [[ 1 -eq 1 ]]
+ check_lvm
+ [[ -f /etc/lvmtab ]]
+ [[ 1 = 1 ]]
+ vgdisplay
+ 2> /dev/null
+ grep ^VG Name
+ read vol_group trash
+ awk { print $3 }
+ process_volume_group vg00

shrikant,

what version of ignite-ux you are using now?

WK

[Shrikant Lavhate]

Ignite-UX Revision B.3.7.96

[melvyn burnard]

That version of Ignite is so old, it is out of support.
You need to update to a much more recent release.
Bearing in mind that HP-UX 11.00 is also out of support, you will probably have to get the update from your last set of media you would have got with your contract.

shrikant,

It is really old.
see this url
http://docs.hp.com/en/IUX/docs/Supported_Versions.pdf
