Re: ISM Startup Errors

Hey, Thanks for your input. I started ISM without -init. It seemed fine. When I try to take a backup, nothing happens. This ithe ISA output ------------------------------------------------------------------ 55638 2003-10-29 10:01:09 Successfully connected to Storage Manager. 55638 2003-10-29 10:01:08 Begin level 0 backup rootdbs. 55638 2003-10-29 10:01:05 BAR_XFER_BUF_SIZE exceeded maximum allowed limit. Changing buffer size to 61440. 55638 2003-10-29 10:01:05 Logical Logs will not be backed up because LTAPEDEV value is /dev/null ---------------------------------------- and it sits there. When I did the ism_watch on the server, I see the following ------------------- Server: speedy Wed Oct 29 10:06:21 2003 Up Version: Informix_Storage_Manager ISM.2.20.UC1.114-06/06 Server Edition Saves: 0 session(s) Recovers: 0 session(s) Device type volume /dev/rmt0.1 8mm (none) /dbqa/dbspaces file (none) /dbqa/logfiles file (none) Messages: Wed 09:45:44 server notice: started Wed 09:45:59 index notice: completed checking 2 client(s) Wed 10:01:09 media info: suggest mounting FAST2.Daily.1.Tuesday.2 on speedy for writing to pool 'Default' Wed 10:01:09 media waiting event: backup to pool 'Default' waiting for 1 writable backup tape(s) or disk(s) Pending: Wed 10:01:09 media waiting: backup to pool 'Default' waiting for 1 writable backup tape(s) or disk(s) ---------------------------------------------- Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong? In Messages section, under devices, I don't see /fs/backup/dbqa/dbspaces. I see only /dbqa/dbspaces. Is it a problem? Here is the output from ism_watch -------------------- speedy:/usr/local/informix>ism_show -devices (nothing) mounted on 8mm tape /dev/rmt0.1 (nothing) mounted on file disk /fs/backup/dbqa/dbspaces (nothing) mounted on file disk /fs/backup/dbqa/logfiles ---------------------------- -- Posted via http://dbforums.com
