701.0. "I/O error and scheduled backup" by EVTAI1::POUSSARD () Thu May 22 1997 04:23
Hi,
I would know the behavior of NetWorker ( alias NSR ), when there is
an I/O error on the tape. I know that it declares the tape full, but doesn't
seem to continue scheduled backups.
I think this subject was already developped but I don't find really a
clear explanation through the notes.
My customer had an I/O error on a tape, during a scheduled backup, and
all sessions were blocked on both TZ877. We could think that NSR tags the tape
full and asks for another tape in the pool, allowing scheduled backup to
continue, but it seems not to be the case.
Is it a normal behavior from NSR ?????
My other question is:
How can I configure the notification ressource, to trigger something
in case of an I/O error ??
I mean, in the NSR ressource:
- what do I put in the notification field ?
- in the event field ?
- in the Priority field ?
Is there some examples or experiences about that ??
Thanks
Gilles.

| For us to help we would need to know a lot more about why
the backups did not continue. Some changes have been made
in this area to prevent the software from retrying all night
and generating thousands of mail messages.
What versions of NetWorker and O/S are in use?
What state is the system in when it stops?
Are there any more tapes in the loader labeled and ready
to use?
Is the tape drive listed as "disabled"?
Normally NetWorker will try to continue with another tape
but this is not a common occurance and you may have found
a combination of events that needs our attention.
The "Critical" level of waiting for a backup tape should
provide a good event to watch for this and other problems
that would pervent the backups from finishing.

The last time I had an error when writing to a tape,
which was last week, it took about an hour for NetWorker
and the tape drive to get to the point where it switched to
using a new tape.
