Re.ontape error
Posted in 2003
Hello Everybody,
Env: IDS 9.30 UC3, AIX 5.1. P660 & P610 IBM boxes (90 chunks DB size 180
GB).
We moved Informix database from SSA disks to fiber disk via ontape
backup/restore, everything went fine no problem. After a week we added
couple of chunks to it and drop some unused dbspaces and bounce IDS one or
two times no problem, 2/3 days later we took the archive on P660 and tried
to restore on P610 and the archive doesn't work, it displays all the chunk
information and one junk line which is not readable and then it says bad
tape.
Took the backup by the following ways but no luck same error:
1) Backup on a tape
2) Backup on a file under a specific directory and lateron did NFS mount to
P610
3) Changed block/tape size
If we create a another instance on P660 & P610 and restore it on same box it
works fine, we also tried to move the same archive and restored on P610 it
worked.
The above tests eliminates NFS,Informix installation and ontape, somehow
Informix is corrupting the archive file which is created. Working with
Informix tech support from last 2 days no luck.
Can you guys guide/suggest any tricks on this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Sushil....
