ontape level 0 backup
I'm setting up a new system and I was trying to run a test level 0 backup of
my database using ontape. Whenever I run it, it will ask for the tape to
mount, do a blocks worth of I/O, and then abort with the following error:
shmat: [22]: operating system error
The informix log reads as follows:
17:03:11 Level 0 Archive started on rootdbs, plogdbs_01, llogdbs_01,
datadbs_01
, datadbs_02, datadbs_03, datadbs_04, datadbs_05, datadbs_06, indxdbs_01,indxdb
s_02, reptdbs_01
17:03:18 Archive on rootdbs, plogdbs_01, llogdbs_01, datadbs_01,
datadbs_02, da
tadbs_03, datadbs_04, datadbs_05, datadbs_06, indxdbs_01, indxdbs_02,
reptdbs_01
ABORTED.
17:03:18 Aborted by client.
I've never seen this error nor do I have this problem on my current
production server. Any ideas?
Are you hitting a shared memory kernel limit? Worth checking
$INFORMIXDIR/release perhaps?

My level 0 backup also aborts with the following errorlog:
1999-11-30 11:36:20 202 0 onbar -b -L 0
1999-11-30 11:36:27 202 0 ERROR: Unable to start the DB/BLOBspace
backup: buc_fe.c : Archive API processing failed at line 234 for
msgtype.
Have you seen this error?
My server is IDS UDO 9.14TC5 (NT sp3)

What is the O/S on which IDS is on?
If HP-UX, set environment variable 'SINGLESEG_OFF=1' and restart IDS and, retry
ontape.
Wish this helps you.

It is probably caused. (only in my opinion)...
by either not enough TEMP space, or not enough Log
space...

Look at your tape setup closely. The problem is probably there. Also, check
TAPEBLKSIZE in onconfig and if you have enough temp space.
