Hi. It looks like you're testing a disaster recovery
situation. Right? If so, should you be concerned with files
in the /dev directory? I believe they are rebuilt everytime
the system is rebuilt, so if you reinstall, or recover from a
mksysb, you should have the /dev directory intact.
After any type of system failure (rendering the DASD semi-intact or
destroyed) the ADSM guide does say to reinstall the base OS. So, /dev
shouldn't be a problem.
However, this is a special case. The /dev/SRC entry was not part of the
BOS install; it's part of an additional package. Thus, the problem still
is a problem. If I do a full backup, and then the system crashed, then I
need to restore the system. So, even if I reintstall the OS and ADSM, then
try and restore the backup that I have, ADSM will still try and create the
/dev/SRC special file and fail.
Regarding your question, are failures marked in the
dsmerror.log and/or dsmsched.log?
The /dev/SRC special file gets backed up properly; no errors are noted in
any files. Only on the restore does it fail, and there is no logging on
the restore
aside from the console which displays:
"ANIxxxxx: Internal Server Error; Contact your sales representative for
support" or something to that effect.
I know I'm not running the latest PTFs; this may be fixed in later
revisions.
