Ignite-UX make_tape_recovery Fails with list_expander Error

While running the make_tape_recovery, you could get the below error.

#make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/0mn command, the following error occurs:

ERROR: The list_expander command failed. This could be due to a problem with  the -x options specified - Check the existence of the included   device(s)

There could be a issue with filesystem which might be mentioned in the /etc/fstab by not mounted and due to which this error occurs.


Either mount the filesystem which is mentioned in the fstab or comment out the entry of the filesystem in fstab.

I fixed the issue in my environment as the issue was with a device listed in vg00 . It turned out that the /etc/fstab had a file system mounting to a device in vg00 that no longer existed.
Removing the entry in the /etc/fstab file resolved the issue.

Best of Luck!
