Re: [ADSM-L] Failed image backup on Linux

Bob,

I hope the info below help.

ANS1304W
An active backup version could not be found.
Explanation:

An attempt was made to expire an object, but the TSM server was unable to
find an active backup version of the object. This message is preceded by
message ANS1228E which specifies the object name. For instance, this message
could be issued if two separate client processes are backing up the same
file system at the same time. If one of the processes expires a file, then
the TSM server will make that file inactive. If the second process
subsequently attempts to expire that same file, the TSM server will not find
an active version of the file, so the second process will issue this message
for that file.
System action:

The object is not expired. Processing continues with the next object.
User response:


  - Review the console output, schedule log, or error log and locate the
  ANS1228E message that immediately precedes this message. ANS1228E will
  identify the object that could not be expired.
  - Examine the conditions under which the problem occurred and assess
  whether those conditions explain the occurrence of this message. For
  example, this message could appear if multiple instances of the client were
  attempting to back up the file system concurrently.
  - If the reason this message occurred can not be determined and the
  message occurs when the operation is tried again, then contact IBM support
  for further assistance. Also try searching for this message number on
  http://www.ibm.com for possible solutions.

A strange problem has just cropped up with an image backup on Linux.

The server is 5.3.4.2 running on AIX, and the linux client version is
5.2.2
(I know it is old, but we have some 'legacy' issues).

This just started happening, as it has been running literally for months
without any problems.  The entire image is transmitted, yet the backup
fails:

-----------------------------

this happens for both images being backed up.  Is the ANS1304W the
problem,
and what exactly is it trying to say?  Like I said, this has been working
for months and just started failing a few days ago.

Anyone seen this before?

TIA,

Bob
