fbackup problem in hpux 11.00

aliasgar — Sat, 10 Feb 2001 14:14:51 GMT

Hi,
i am facing one problem when using fbackup under automated backup through sam it gives a error code of exit code=4 in br_log file, even though the latest fbackup/frecover patch named PHCO_19732 was loaded.i understand from the technical writeups that it is a volume header error on tape but i want a permanent solution for this error code.

Hi,

As exit codes for fbackup were changed, sam must be patched to at least PHCO_19047 to take those new exit codes into account.

Latest superseeding cumulative SAM/ObAM patch
is PHCO_22269.

Here is the link:

Best regards,

Dan

Hello,

besides the patch there is a workaround:

Change line 329 of the /usr/sam/lbin/br_backup script to accept exit code 0 or 4 as 'success':

if ["$exit_code" = "0" -o "$exit_code" = "4" ]

But as Dan said, installing the latest patch will give you the best solution.

Thanks for the response but after loading the latest SAM patch PHCO_22269 it is still giving the exit code error of 4 and i had also modified the br_backup script.the message in br_log file is as follows

{ fbackup -0 -u -g /etc/sam/br/graphBDAa03170 -I /var/sam/log/br_index.full -c /etc/sam/br/fbackup_config -d /var/adm/fbackupfile
s/dates -f /dev/rmt/0m } 2>&1
Full backup completed with warnings on akash : Tue Feb 13 09:26:01 WAT 2001 .
