UNIX HP-UX

Hi All,

I am getting below error while igniting(restoring image) on 2470 server. i tried with different images it is giving same error. please help me out to resolve this issue

  • Making VxFS filesystem for "/usr/aethos/snss/suppimpapp1",
    (/dev/vg00/rsuppimpapp1).
    * Making VxFS filesystem for "/usr/aethos/snss/suppimpdb",
    (/dev/vg00/rsuppimpdb).
    vxfs mkfs: read of lvm record failed
    ERROR: newfs/mkfs (VxFS) command failed: (/sbin/fs/vxfs/newfs -s 131072 -o
    largefiles /dev/vg00/rsuppimpdb).

      The configuration process has incurred an error, would you like
  to push a shell for debugging purposes? \(y/[n]\):

Thanks,

You may have a bad disk...
Is the tape from that same box? or are you trying to use an image from elsewhere (in which case, are the disks same size?) but it looks more a HW issue

Yeah Vbe, looks like the same to me as well.

Prabhu, one more scenario is this. kfs_vxfs and mkfs_hfs do not handle blank
media properly on new OEM MO devices. It happens sometimes. Like, The blank media returns a Blank Check condition on a first read and read size of the buffer is zero. In that case, even #dd should be working fine. However, 0 bytes would have been read. An attempt to create a filesystem with newfs/mkfs may fail:

A workaround is to write null bytes to possible LVM and VxVM header locations as well to the very last block.

Here, possibility looks like a hardware issue. Let's just try these kinda things as well. :wink:

My apologies,

I don't think that should work in this case. I've tried it on my server yesterday. Things go non related. But, proceed checking hardware.
