Ontape Level 0 Archive Aborts Itself....
Posted in 1998
Hi,
Hoping someone can shed some light on the following. We are running
Informix ODS 7.24.UC2 on Sun Ultra Enterprise 4000 utilizing Solaris 2.6
We are using an Exabyte EXB-8500 tape drive; 8mm Helical Scan 7GB
uncompressed tape. We have the following in our onconfig:
TAPEDEV /dev/rmt/0mb
TAPEBLK 1024
TAPESIZE 6809600. A few days ago we loaded the remainder of our production data. We were
able to get one successful 0 level archive. It prompted for a second tape
(for the first time since migration) with no problem. Yesterday we received
OS Error #28....no space left on device. The Informix message log states
"internal subsystem error...archive aborted by client". It never prompted
for an additional tape.
The system administrator has reviewed the documentation regarding tape
drive, tapes, etc. for our platform and can find nothing specific pointing
to a problem. Are we overlooking anything here? Perhaps any bugs of which
we are unaware? Would appreciate any feedback in trying to resolve this
issue so we can obtain a good level 0 archive. Thanks for your help.
