Re: Checking for IFS object damage

[ChadB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Yep - the IFS is the larger portion of the save.  This box is a MIMIX
backup for our DB2 stuff and development box for programmers, but it also
backs up WAS and a Domino server.  Our nightly backups of DB2 libs are
working day after day without a problem, but i've seen this same behaviour
on 3 Save 21 attempts in the past week.  (twice with the same tape and once
with a different tape).

How long does your other part of the save take?  On our systems it's not
unusual for IFS saves to take longer than *NONSYS type saves.  Then again,
*NONSYS uses much less disk than IFS because of our unique setup.  So, if
IFS is taking longer than maybe the sheer volume of IFS data is heating up
the drive or some such situation.  Or pumping enough data to finally hit
that 1 in 10,000 possibility...
Bringing in the CE is probably your best bet.

Checking for IFS object damage








OK, i'm familiar with dumping QSYS.LIB filesystem object descriptions to a
data file and checking against the object damage field to find damaged
objects, but how would I go about getting IFS objects from the other
filesystems into a file and checking to find out if any are damaged?

I have a Save 21 backup that is saving libraries fine, DLO objects fine,
then running for about 30 minutes on the SAV section of the procedure and
blowing up the tape drive description with an IO type error.  I suspected
the media first, but then got the same results with a second tape.  A CE
is
getting some hardware for later today, but i'm curious if something is
problematic on an IFS object.
