Hi Saran,

The backup selection is /

I have cross mount points selected. We don't follow NFS.

I can try splitting the backup into multiple streams, but I don't think
there is a file read issue. I can run (bpbkar -nocont / > /dev/null)
without any problems what so ever.

Thanks,

I have few questions:

- What is in the backup selection.
- Follow NFS and cross mount points selected
- Try splitting up the backup selection in multiple streams and pin point
exactly which file or folder is creating problem.

  Hi All,

  We're having a strange problem when the media server (AIX 6.1) is backing
  up itself. This problem only occurs when the media server attempts to
  back
  up itself. The media server can back up other clients just fine. Other
  media servers can back up this media server just fine.

  Here is the general output of the backup:

  05/05/2011 09:37:01 - begin writing
  05/05/2011 09:52:16 - Error bpbrm (pid=7405600) socket read failed: errno
  =
  119 - System call timed out
  05/05/2011 09:52:18 - Error bptm (pid=8912950) media manager terminated
  by
  parent process
  05/05/2011 09:52:27 - Info bpbkar (pid=9437276) done. status: 13: file
  read
  failed

  This isn't necessarily helpful, so I've enabled verbose logging level 5
  on
  both bpbkar and bpbrm. I'm not seeing any red flags.

  I have tried disabling shared memory, reducing the buffers to bare
  minimums, excluding what I thought were problem files, but it seems we
  are
  chasing a ghost. It is as if bpbkar stops sending data. The backup runs
  for
  a while, stops on a random file, and sits there until the job times out.

  Any ideas?
