OBII - List form Media Problem....

[Roger Lavender]

Eveytime I try to perform a "List form Media" action I get the following message...

[RESTORE] FROM MSM@{server} "{device}" TIME 00/00/00 00:00:00
NOT ENOUGH SPACE

I purposely left server info out of messge above.

What does "NOT ENOUGH SPACE" mean. I researched every piece of documentation I can get my hands on with no solution.

OBII version is 2.5.

How much space do you have in /tmp and /var/tmp?

[Brian M. Fisher]

It sounds like ther is insufficient space available in the directory you are restoring to.

If you want to restore over existing files be sure you have overwrite on. Also as was previously posted, make sure you have room for what you're restoring (and check where you're restoring to).

Hope this helps,
Steve

Check as well /var/opt/omni/log/* whatever log has the modification date close with the action. Omniback has a tmp itself, /var/opt/omni/tmp. I am not sure what omniback is using for temporary file when list file from the tape...
Try to post your question under Network&OpenView->OpenView Application.

The /tmp diskspace was exactly the right answer! I trace of the process queue shows that at the end of the "List from Media" function reveals that the program attempts to write an temporary catalog to the /tmp directory once the contents of the tape are read. the Cell Sever in question is a D350 with a 2GB root and a 6GB data file system. The root file system was already 90% commited, so there was no space to create the tmp catalog. We went an alternate route and imported the tape set back into the database. This recreated the Media Database entries and we were able to restore the files from there.

Thanks to all who pinpointed the problem.
