I've gotten what amounts to a shrug. I'm trying to escalate. Anybody
else have server volumes start to fail after a 5.3 upgrade? What
seems to happen in my case is that for the first server password
expiration after the upgrade, the automatic password update fails. If
you're using these remote volumes for DBBACKUPTRIGGER, then your
incremental at the trigger point fails. Result coredump in [mumble]
days. If you're not in rollforward, you might not notice the failure
unless you're checking recentness of DB backups.
Anyone else seeing a similar failure?
Here's a log snippet of a failure on the volume-client actlog
01/18/06 08:10:01 ANR4373E Session rejected by target server CTRL,
reason: Authentication Failure. (SESSION: 65036)
01/18/06 08:10:01 ANR4383E Session failure, target server CTRL has
aborted current transaction; reason: Transaction failed. (SESSION: 65036)
01/18/06 08:10:01 ANR4379E The source server was unable to update the
password on target server CTRL. (SESSION: 65036)
and here's the volume-server
01/18/06 08:10:01 ANR0406I Session 71109 started for node INT
(AIX-RS/6000) (Tcp/Ip tsm2en1.cns.ufl.edu(43034)). (SESSION: 71109)
01/18/06 08:10:01 ANR0425W Session 71109 for node INT (AIX-RS/6000)
refused - password has expired. (SESSION: 71109)
01/18/06 08:10:01 ANR0403I Session 71109 ended for node INT
(AIX-RS/6000). (SESSION: 71109)
01/18/06 08:10:01 ANR0406I Session 71110 started for node INT
(AIX-RS/6000) (Tcp/Ip tsm2en1.cns.ufl.edu(43036)). (SESSION: 71110)
01/18/06 08:10:01 ANR0500W Transaction failed for session 71110 for node
INT (AIX-RS/6000) - invalid password submitted. (SESSION: 71110)
01/18/06 08:10:01 ANR0479W Session 71110 for server INT (AIX-RS/6000)
terminated - connection with server severed. (SESSION: 71110)
That first rejection appears to be a "correct" failure, noting the
expiration. The second is the problem.
It seems almost like the volume-server is keeping more than one
version of the password around; one is used for ongoing operations,
and another different store is consulted when you go to update. The
same volume-client - volume-server combination had a successful backup
three hours before the failure quoted above.
