1121.0. "DISKQUOTA error & archiver - revisited" by DENVER::BAILEYR (OICU812!) Fri Jul 24 1992 19:00

My customer site is experiencing a problem with the archiver and 
diskquotas.  We do not have diskquotas enabled on any of our disk volumes 
and whenever we run the archiver via ADS it quits (usually in the A's
and not any particular ALL-IN-1 account) with the following: 

%START_BATCH-I SENDLOCK.DAT and FETCHLOCK.DAT unlocked
%START_BATCH-I processing completed ok for %START_BATCH
%SMJACKET-I Invoking Utility command file "OA$LIB:ARCHIVE.COM"

%OA-I-LASTLINE, Disk quota was too low - your requested archive operation 
                not completed

I looked at the VMS error log to see if any disk volumes were somehow 
being dismounted during the archiver run and there were no indications 
whatsoever.

We've been successfully running ADS for months without this problem.

We upgraded VMS from 5.3-1 to 5.4-3 recently, but have had 2 
successful runs on 5.4-3.  (ALL-IN-1 v2.4)

Other NOTES and STARS entries indicate that the disquota error can be 
caused by many things.  I'm ready for suggestions!

Good to see Stuart is still alive and well ;-)

1121.1Disk full?IOSG::MAURICECeci n'est pas une noteFri Jul 24 1992 19:3712
    Hi,
    
    Is it possible that the disk on which the archive area is held is full?
    I think that would cause the error as well.

    I've been called a lot of things in my time but never that!
    
    Cheers

1121.2Disks not full & # of files ok...DENVER::BAILEYROICU812!Fri Jul 24 1992 21:066
Sorry Stuart, I meant to mention that I checked for the disk(s) being full, 
as well as the total number of files on each disk exceeding the maximum
number of files allowed (checked via SPM).  We are well within the limits
on everything. 
Thanks!

1121.3More possibilitiesIOSG::MAURICECeci n'est pas une noteMon Jul 27 1992 10:5929
    Hi Randy,
    
    We're now into the land of obscure faults! (The following applies to
    V2.4)
    
    When checking for quota the system is checking whether the the ALL-IN-1
    Manager has enough quota on the archive disk. It finds the Manager's
    VMS account name by:
    
    GET #OWN=PROFIL.VMSUSR[OA$_GBL_MANAGER_ACCOUNT]
    
    If the result of this returns a non-existent VMS account name then you
    would get your symptom.
    
    
    The disk name being checked is found from the Open archive area by:
    
    GET #ARCHIVE_DIR = ARCHIVE_SETS_DATA:STATUS.DIRECTORY["OPEN"]
    
    If the result of this returns a non-existent device name then it would
    be another cause.
    
    
    Can users archive documents interactively. If not what error do they
    get (make them press GOLD W to see them all).
    
    Cheers

1121.4Valid returns and ADN works...DENVER::BAILEYROICU812!Mon Jul 27 1992 15:4717
Stuart,

We see a valid VMS account returned from:
<GET #OWN=PROFIL.VMSUSR[OA$_GBL_MANAGER_ACCOUNT]

And we see a valid device returned from:
<GET #AD=ARCHIVE_SETS_DATA:STATUS.DIRECTORY["OPEN"]

Users can indeed ADN without problems and RAD, as well.

What is puzzling to me is the fact that the archiver "processes" several 
accounts before encountering the diskquota problem - again on random 
accounts (so far, beginning with A).

Still scratching my head...
Thanks
Randy
1121.5Still tryingIOSG::MAURICECeci n&#039;est pas une noteMon Jul 27 1992 19:1210
    More things have come to mind. First off has your customer been patched
    up to date? In looking at the code I saw comments in the archive
    scripts that suggest that some changes in this area were put in K603.
    
    Also it would be worth checking whether there have been any site
    customisations made to the archive scripts.
    
    Cheers

1121.6Unpatched 2.4, but modified archiverDENVER::BAILEYROICU812!Mon Jul 27 1992 20:3511
Stuart,

They are running an unpatched 2.4 system, but have definately customized 
the archiver scripts.  I'll send you mail and provide an on-line copy of 
archive.com and archive_sys_user_folders.scp, if you care to look.

I do know that nothing has been modified regarding the archiver in months 
and up until last week, we have had no problems.

Many thanks,
Randy
1121.7Found/fixed the problem!DENVER::BAILEYROICU812!Wed Aug 05 1992 16:4813
After Stuart pointed me in the right direction, we determined the cause.  I
had set global buffers on the SYSUAF.DAT file and the node running the
archiver had a ridiculously low GBLPAGFIL SYSGEN parameter set.  Thus when
the archiver tried executing CHECK_DISKQUOTA it could not properly open the
SYSUAF and returned a bad OA$STATUS, as it should have.  The node running 
the archvier is dedicated for batch and housekeeping jobs while the other 
two nodes in the cluster are for interactive use.  These other two nodes 
had sufficient GBLPAGFIL and that's why the users had no problems archiving 
interactively.

Getting smarter every day...
