Richard i cannot see any tape I/O errors in TSM (act) log. i do see a lot of RETRIED messages (bki1208E) ... 216 in total ... in .anf file
so this is pushing up the object count !!! i think it's caused by : BKI5008E: Tivoli Storage Manager Error: ANS0326E (RC41) Node has exceeded max tape mounts allowed. these messages ANS0326E appeared after this client starts backing up to a new server !!! nothing changed on the client. new TSM backup sever only differs from old server in size of diskpool: new server diskpool is 200 Gb ... starts migrating when 50% filled old server diskpool is 600 Gb ... starts migrating when 90% filled could this cause these ANS0326E messages ?? -----Original Message----- From: Richard Foster [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: donderdag 13 maart 2003 10:44 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: strange message : Object: 626 of 471 done Ruud We see this type of thing when there has been a tape IO error, or similar. The retry of the failing files then pushes up the object count, but not the total count. But I've never seen a discrepancy this big before! Try reading the whole output file and looking for when the object count first exceeds the total count. This should give you some error msgs, but if not you'll at least get a timestamp so you can look in the TSM log. Richard Foster Norsk Hydro asa
