An odd combination: SAP DB2 databases on Solaris 7 Using the DB2 api, not the R/3 tdp Solaris client 5.1.6.9 TSM Server 5.1.7.3 Win2K
3 different Solaris clients are scheduled to backup their SAP db's at the same time direct to LTO tape. Only 2 tape drives are available, so one session should sit in media wait until one of the other 2 finishes. The problem is that one backup is always failing with this error message from the db2 backup script: SQL2025N An I/O error "-50" occurred on media "TSM" Also, in the dsmerror.log at the same time there is: 12/17/03 02:08:34 sessSendVerb: Error sending Verb, rc: -50 12/17/03 02:08:35 sessSendVerb: Error sending Verb, rc: -50 The schedules start at 02:00:00, so idletimeout and commtimeout are not an issue because they are set much higher than 8 minutes. At first, it was random on which of the 3 clients failed, now it is the same one every night. This same issue also happened on earlier 4.x versions of TSM and I was hoping an upgrade would make it go away, but no joy. I'm beginning to think that it has something to do with Solaris or DB2, but I'm not a Solaris person so looking for some advice. ______________________________ John Monahan Senior Consultant Enterprise Solutions Computech Resources, Inc.
