Hi,

I got the below error while creating the recovery tape.

ERROR: SIGHUP has caused the termination of make_sys_image. The archive
being created will be incomplete. As result, the archive cannot
be used for recovering the system.

Regards,
Durvesh

OK.

What is your question? The information given seems self-explanatory. Basically, do NOT trust the ignite tape. It will not work.

You should rerun your make_tape_recovery process ASAP.

Hi

a) sighup - sigh - you should know this by now - signal hangup. You were not running the backup in the back ground but manually from your terminal and broke connection before the process ended.

b) there is nothing backed up. To verify the backup, first, paste in your backup command.

Durvesh,

>ERROR: SIGHUP has caused the termination of make_sys_image. The archive

Means the make_sys_image didnot complete quite well. Check the size of the image you are taking with ignite (size of vg00), and if idex file is created properly, also check if any futher error log available in /var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest/recovery.lo .
- also check the sytanx you are using.


Hth,
Raj.

>>ERROR: This is not a no rewind device file.
>>ERROR: Check tape device failed.

Use the no-rewind device then. You must use a device like /dev/rmt/0mn or 1mn. The tape device file you use MUST end with an 'n' which denotes that it is a no-rewind device.
