We've got an HP-UX 10.20 box that we've been doing recovery tapes for
years, every 3 months. However, this month, when we ran
make_tape_recover -v -p inc_entire=vg00 to get a preview, the job
starts, but then just sits there:

$make_tape_recovery -v -p inc_entire=vg00
* Creating local directories for configuration files and
archive.

It doesn't lock up (you can ctrl-c out) and there's nothing in /var/
adm/syslog/syslog.log indicating a problem. I'm at a loss to figure
out what's happening. We let it sit there for two and 1/2 hours, and
nothing.

Am I impatient, or is there some way to figure out why it isn't
completing the preview?

From the log, you make_tape_recovery is not good, same FS are only
partially saved (1) and other are not saved (such as /opt say 0 >> not
saved).
Only FileSystems that have number 2 are saved by make_tape_recovery
Try to use
make_tape_recovery -Av -p for preview or make_tape_recovery -Av to backup
your system and wait to finish command save_config.
If you want to exclude same FS use -x exclude=/mount_point

I tried:

make_tape_recovery -Av -p


and again, it just hangs after the following:

$make_tape_recovery -Av -p
* Creating local directories for configuration files and
archive.

It doesn't lock the machine up, and nothing appears in /var/adm/syslog/

Hi

How large are the filesystems you want to backup?
How many files are in the filesystems (mostly the count of the non-OS
files is interesting)?
How long do you wait until you decide to interrupt it?

I assume, you simply have some directory with a lot of files and it
simply takes a lot of time for the archiver which stands behind
make_tape_recovery to collect the files.


You might check what is happening by using the freeware program 'trace'

Options for trace should be /path/to/trace/bin/trace -fl -o <logfile>
<command> [command-options]

trace bshould is available at
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/trace-1.6/

Best regards, Florian

We resolved this issue. There was a drive that was starting to go bad
in the system. Replacing it resolved the problem.
