adsmserv 3.1 on aix 4.3.3 machine.
doing full restores from client (dsm), is not working, it hangs, so now
i've tried forcing an incremental restore on a filesystem that is only
partly restored (7/20GB). this is the command im using from the unix
client:
dsmc restore "/home/mac/tate/*" -replace=no -subdir=yes
so it starts it, loads a tape, takes the tape out, then it just sits there
and hangs again. i can't even restore deaper subdirectories, they also
hang. the whole damn server hangs. this is my current status:
adsm> q se

The only thing I can think of is i deleted a tape from the library
yesterday. i deleted it because the server told me to. it said this:
ANR8302E I/O error on drive TAPEDRIVE1 (/dev/rmt1) (OP=HANDLELOSTVCR,
CC=0,KEY=03, ASC=31, ASCQ=00,
SENSE=70.00.03.00.00.00.00.48.00.00.00.00.31.00.FE.0A.36.2C.10.10.00.09.01.31.-

00.D4.2B.3B.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00,
Description=An undetermined error has occurred). Refer to Appendix B in
the 'Messages' manual for recommended action.
ANR8831W Because of media errors for volume 16644F, data should be removed
as soon as possible.
so i migrated the data off the tape, then deleted that vol, and checkout
the tape. the database should pick up this information right? the database
should know that i've taken that tape out and any data on it has been
moved, right?
anyway, does anyone have any clues. my group is missing 13GB of data, and
im gonna be hosed unless i can get it off these damn tapes...
thanks in advance,
alex
