Check out your bptm logs...if you see something like "too many blocks
written" it may be that large block size support is not available for
whatever reason.

Check your st.conf file for the proper entries.  I've had systems panic
like this on me and "blow out" some config file that happened to be open
in vi or in use like bp.conf.

I'd start there...but your bptm logs should shed the most light on the
subject.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] 84 media write error
Importance: High

We had a problem this weekend with the file system that the database was
on
filling up.  The server NB master server also panic'ed causing many
backups
to fail.  Now when I am trying to perform backups, I am getting random
errors of "84 media write error".  I have attempted to, and still
attempting
to, talk to Veritas support but I thought I would throw this out to see
if
anyone in the group has had this before.

The environment is NB 3.41 Datacenter Patched to level 6.  It runs SSO
with
5 media servers and 1 master media.  The servers are solaris 8.

Veritas is stumped it seems and it has been like this for a couple days.


Any help you can provide would be awesome.

Thanks,
Mike
