Re: archecker warning about orphaned control page

Hi Looking at the pg_flags (0x4000), it's a archive control page for dbspace and chunks information, and it's also a tape trailer page (0x0020). It's expecting a tape header page and hence the orphaned control page warning. Once the orphaned page is detected, no information is recorded for that dbspace/chunk, which can later cause the subsequent errors. Were the databases consistent prior to the physical backup, was oncheck run? Was the backup done with onbar and archecker invoked through the onbar command line, or was the backup done with ontape and archecker invoked as a standalone utility? It's not clear why the dbspace/chunk header pages didn't make it to the archive. thanks. Davis.
