What does 'ulimit' (or the Solaris equivalent) return for the user performing the backup? If it's too small the O/S will return an error like what you're seeing. -----Original Message----- From: Kaido Kibin [mailto:kaido.kibin@customs.ee] Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2000 11:02 AM Posted To: informix Conversation: Ontape returns errno 27 Subject: Re: Ontape returns errno 27 you meant TAPESIZE parameter? yes, it set to 12 GB. as far as i know if backup size exceeds TAPESIZE informix should ask for next volume... kaido > > See if your TAPEDEV param is larger than 2 GB. > > -- > ------------------------------------------------- > With best regards, Yuri Dovgart > SAP R/3, Informix technical consultant, > Informix Certified Professional, > Senior System Consultant > System Architecture and High Availability Systems, > 'Telecominvest' company > Email y_dovgart@tci.ukrtel.net > ICQ 39284285 >

ulimit returns "unlimited" for user informix. as informix i can create large files to target filesystem. for testing i created successfully 5 GB file. but running ontape as informix gives this error after reaching 2 GB... what about on-bar? could i do this backup using on-bar with ISM? kaido Scott Black <sblack@elsouth.com> wrote in message news:8e4p7t$qge$1@news.xmission.com... > > What does 'ulimit' (or the Solaris equivalent) return for the user > performing the backup? > > If it's too small the O/S will return an error like what you're seeing. >
