We have an HP-UX 11 client system running the 4.1.2.0 client. This system has one file system with about 3.1 million files. The number of files has been growing, and was only 2.9 million a week ago. The backups for this system recently started failing with 'User abort' messages. A search of the ADSM-L archive revealed that our client has a bug that causes a number of different problems to be misreported as user aborts. I susoect a memory shortage. The README file for the client states that the maxdsize kernel parameter may have to be increased for large file systems. Tivoli being Tivoli, there is no quantitative information about the relationship between file system size and the necessary maxdsize value. We have maxdsize set to 512 megabytes, which is eight times the default value.
Is there a later client level that fixes the error reporting bug and is otherwise fit for production use? Is it possible that we need a still larger value for maxdsize?
