Hi.

I have this problem. I tried to backedup using GPFS but allways finish whit Failed 1. When I look the .log I see this:

02/28/20 11:01:37 ANS1345E No objects on server match '/flatfiles/.mmSharedTmpDir/mmPolicy.policy.13762640.0B16E280'

That sounds like a temporary file that was there earlier in the backup, but gone later.


When the backup starts, there's a thread that determines what needs to be backed up, and it feeds that list to another thread that does the actual backup.

So if that file exists when the thread scans the system, but no longer exists when the 2nd thread backs it up, this will happen. Maybe consider excluding that directory or that file pattern if they are known to be temporary and not needed.

yes, it is temporary file.

My dsm.sys tries to exclude this directory but it doesn't work. Also copied the "/var/mmfs/mmbackup/.mmbackupRules.nsd_flatfiles_gpfs" file and wrote "RULE 'exclude' EXCLUDE WHERE PATH_NAME LIKE '/flatfiles/.mmSharedTmpDir/%" on it

 

[marclant]

Are you using: exclude.dir /flatfiles/.mmSharedTmpDir or exclude /flatfiles/.mmSharedTmpDir/.../*? Both should work, if it's different, likely not.

 

[jricnon]

I tried both but it doesn't work

look, this is the script i'm running.

#!/bin/bash
export MMBACKUP_PROGRESS_CONTENT=3

export MMBACKUP_IGNORE_INCLUDE=1

sudo /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmbackup /dev/nsd_flatfiles_gpfs -t incremental --tsm-servers N_ATBOG35A_FILES -P .mmbackupRules.nsd_flatfile
s_gpfs >> /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin64/respaldoGPFS_incremental.log

Did you update the N_ATBOG35A_FILES stanza in dsm.sys?
Do you have typos in your exclude statements?
