Logbackup failed - function op en log tape failed
Gilles, on IDS 11.50.FC9, got 'Logbackup failed - function open log tape failed' from ALARMPROGRAM running ontape -a -d, though the same command worked manually. LTAPEDEV was a file path. Frank asked whether it was a directory or file, saying it should be a directory. No further reply, so unresolved.

Hi,
I'm running Informix IDS Version 11.50.FC9 dataserver. I use ALARMPRPGRAM to
backup log files using the 'ontape -a -d' as my backup command. Unfortunately
I have the following messages in the log_full.log file :
.....
Performing automatic backup of logical logs.
Please mount tape 1 on /bases/informix/dsenksen/arch/logical/archive_logs01
and press Return to continue ... Logbackup failed - function op
en log tape failed code -1 errno 0
......
The /bases/informix/dsenksen/arch/logical/archive_logs01 exists as show below :
informix@dmba01:dsenksen_tcp:/bases/informix/dsenksen/var/ontape/logs> ls -rtl
/bases/informix/dsenksen/arch/logical/archive_logs01
-rw-rw---- 1 informix informix 6606028800 Jan 23 15:42
/bases/informix/dsenksen/arch/logical/archive_logs01
And when running 'ontape -a -d' on command line, it runs successfully (as show
below) :
informix@dmba01:dsenksen_tcp:/bases/informix/dsenksen/arch/logical> ontape -a
-d
Performing automatic backup of logical logs.
Please mount tape 1 on /bases/informix/dsenksen/arch/logical/archive_logs01
and press Return to continue ...
Do you want to back up the current logical log? (y/n) n
Read/Write End Of Medium enabled: blocks = 34
Please label this tape as number 1 in the log tape sequence.
This tape contains the following logical logs:
402992 - 403023
Program over.
informix@dmba01:dsenksen_tcp:/bases/informix/dsenksen/arch/logical>
Can someone, please, explain, why I have the previous error while my
ALARMPROGRAM
What is your LTAPEDEV setting in onconfig file?

Hi,
Following is the value of LTPADEV
informix@dmba01:dsenksen_tcp:/bases/informix/dsenksen/admin/ontape/sh> onstat
-c | grep LTAPEDEV | grep -v "#"
LTAPEDEV /bases/informix/dsenksen/arch/logical/archive_logs01
Regards
Is this a directory path, or file path? Should be a directory path.
