backup not working

Hi,

We currently use CommVault's Galaxy backup system to backup our HP9000N4000 server. Everything is fine in the last 6 months. Today it just doesn't back up. Error on CommVault server mentions that no connection...check network...did that...not an issue...

checked out all files which were modified from yesterday and saw that I have a

/etc/services,v

file.

never seen this? its got some :

locks ; strict;

in the beginning of the file any idea?

thanks,

any suggestions are v v much appreciated at this point.

thanks

ap

It would appear that this file was mistakenly "checked-in" with Revision Control System (RCS). This is the ",v" suffix on the file.

Instead of 'vi ' probably used 'ci ' which would do that.

Do a 'co ' This will "check-out" a file from RCS

I bet someone accidentally did a 'ci /etc/services' instead of 'vi /etc/services'. The 'ci' command means 'check in' and it is part of a version control system that is built into HP-UX.

Check and see if you still have a /etc/services file. If not you can do a 'co /etc/services' and you will get the /etc/services file back.

If you don't use the version control system for these files you can then delete the /etc/services,v file.

'man ci' and 'man co' for more details on those commands.

You can make use of /usr/newconfig/etc/services file and copy it to /etc/services file.

As Patrick mentioned someone did ci on services file insted of vi..
