onbar or ISM thinks disk is full

Hello, I will appreciate your comments. Im running IDS 9.40 FC2 on Solaris 9 on a Sun v880 64 bits I configured onbar and ISM and is working ... not always I use two volumes on disk, one form Data and other one for logs. It happens when I start a new onbar level 0, it stops because volume is full, but the disk is plenty of space. I happen sometimes, it happen at differents gigabytes writed (30 GB, 22 GB, etc) sometimes I tray two or tree times and it can finish. Now I have tried more times and can't finish. How can I fix that? After problem start showing, I use nsradmin to set manualy volume capacity: nsradmin -i $INFORMIXDIR/utilerias/onbar.nsr Informix > cat onbar.nsr . type:NSR device; name:/home0/cintasbar/cinta0 update volume default capacity:50000000 KB update volume current capacity:50000000 KB . type:NSR device; name:/home0/cintasbar/cinta1 update volume default capacity:50000000 KB update volume current capacity:50000000 KB some info: Informix > ism_show -volumes volume pool flags written (%) expires ISMData ISMDiskData 22 GB full 05/01/09 ISMLogs ISMDiskLogs 0 KB 05/01/09 Informix > ism_show -volume ISMData ssid name clflg total date 24049 <1>INFORMIX:/noroeste_net/bddsiad1/0 2048000096 05/02/07 24059 <1>INFORMIX:/noroeste_net/bddsiad3/0 i 0 05/02/07 24048 <1>INFORMIX:/noroeste_net/imagenes/0 2048000096 05/02/07 24051 <2>INFORMIX:/noroeste_net/bddsiad1/0 2048000096 05/02/07 24050 <2>INFORMIX:/noroeste_net/imagenes/0 2048000096 05/02/07 24053 <3>INFORMIX:/noroeste_net/bddsiad1/0 2048000096 05/02/07 24052 <3>INFORMIX:/noroeste_net/imagenes/0 1085591240 05/02/07 24054 <4>INFORMIX:/noroeste_net/bddsiad1/0 2048000096 05/02/07 24055 <5>INFORMIX:/noroeste_net/bddsiad1/0 311892480 05/02/07 24045 INFORMIX:/noroeste_net/bddlogs/0 63744 05/02/07 24044 INFORMIX:/noroeste_net/bddroot/0 16890184 05/02/07 24047 INFORMIX:/noroeste_net/bddsiad1/0 2048000216 05/02/07 24057 INFORMIX:/noroeste_net/bddsiad2/0 2048000216 05/02/07 24058 INFORMIX:/noroeste_net/bddsiad3/0 2048000216 05/02/07 24046 INFORMIX:/noroeste_net/imagenes/0 2048000216 05/02/07 24056 INFORMIX:/noroeste_net/noroeste/0 98355552 05/02/07 # SM_DISKDEV1='/home0/cintasbar/cinta0' SM_DISKDEV2='/home0/cintasbar/cinta1' SM_DISKDEV3='/home1/cintasbar/cinta0' SM_DISKDEV4='/home1/cintasbar/cinta1' export SM_DISKDEV1 SM_DISKDEV3 SM_DISKDEV4 echo "create and mount ISM devices and pools" ism_add -device $SM_DISKDEV1 -type file ism_add -device $SM_DISKDEV2 -type file ism_op -label $SM_DISKDEV1 -pool ISMDiskData -volume ISMData ism_op -label $SM_DISKDEV2 -pool ISMDiskLogs -volume ISMLogs #nsradmin -c nsradmin -i $INFORMIXDIR/utilerias/onbar.nsr ism_op -mount $SM_DISKDEV1 ism_op -mount $SM_DISKDEV2 echo "end of ISM setup" /dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/vol_01 61931388 21785440 39526635 36% /home0 --Nestor

You may actually be running out of temp dbspace to hold pre-images of pages modified during the archive. Check this during the archive with onstat -d or just add more temp dbspaces to DBSPACETEMP.

thanks for your advice. I give it a try, running onbar while monitoring onstat -d, top and df= . The three temp dbspaces remain almost unused; procesor, memory and sw= ap resources seems to be ok, and filesystems never were close to 100%. However, the result was the same, stoped backup because of full volum= e. Your idea of another resource different than a ism or onbar resource = is interesting to me. It may explain why it stops at random times and Gigabytes writen to disk. But, how to find what is running out of. While writing this email, I try it again, spreading my script out. I First created and mounted volumes. Then, using nsradmin I look at the device and realize volume current capacity: 0 KB; (disregarding I iss= ue an update volume current capacity:50000000 KB) So I edited manualy th= at attribute with the 50GB value and close nsradmin command and opened again. Now, attribute was volume current capacity: ; . So I closed ag= ain nsradmin and make the=20 su - informix -c "onbar -b -L 0 -f /usr1/informix/onbar.espacios" command. Backup ran to the end whit no interruptions. What did I do? I don't realy know. It seems like superstition. Where = can I find documentation on nsradmin and their attributes and configurati= on? Thanks again for you time.
