Unable to create a clean net recovery using Ignite.

[Reynaldo Torres]

Good morning all. I am having the following error when I tried to create a net recovery using ignite, and the message is a follow.

* Archiving contents of U611 via tar to
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch_mnt/2004-05-06,09:01.
awk: Cannot divide by zero.
The input line number is 13846.
The source line number is 2.
* Creation of system archive complete

* Creating CINDEX Configuration File

* /opt/ignite/bin/manage_index -q -c 2004-05-06,09:01\ Recovery\ Archive
-i /var/opt/ignite/recovery/client_mnt/0x0800098CB9BD/CINDEX -u
Recovery\ Archive

I have not seen this error before. I have remove ignite from the machine, re-installed it and still same problem. Can someone tell me what is wrong, or how could I resolve this problem? I will really appreciated. I will submit points for the best answer.

Thanks to all of you,

RT.

Rt,

Take a look at Knowledge Base document UIUXKBRC00008557 for a possible solution/workaround to the error you're seeing.

Best Regards,

Eric, I have looked into this document, but I could not find anything related to this document that could helped me to fix the problem. This was my first shot before I came to you guys.

Thanks,

Reynaldo.

Reynaldo,

this looks like on U611 you have a file or directory name consisting of non-printing characters only.

On the ignite server
cd /var/opt/ignite/clients/U611/recovery/latest
vi flist
:se nu
check the line # 13846

if you found out where it is, remove or rename it (which is another issue)
hints:
ls -i
find . -inum ### -exec rm {} \;

Be warned that although make_net_recovery will say "completed successfully" your archive will most likely contain only the files *up to* the bad flist entry and none of the following ones!

Regards,
Bernhard
