Bob, I hope the info below help.
ANS1304W An active backup version could not be found. Explanation: An attempt was made to expire an object, but the TSM server was unable to find an active backup version of the object. This message is preceded by message ANS1228E which specifies the object name. For instance, this message could be issued if two separate client processes are backing up the same file system at the same time. If one of the processes expires a file, then the TSM server will make that file inactive. If the second process subsequently attempts to expire that same file, the TSM server will not find an active version of the file, so the second process will issue this message for that file. System action: The object is not expired. Processing continues with the next object. User response: - Review the console output, schedule log, or error log and locate the ANS1228E message that immediately precedes this message. ANS1228E will identify the object that could not be expired. - Examine the conditions under which the problem occurred and assess whether those conditions explain the occurrence of this message. For example, this message could appear if multiple instances of the client were attempting to back up the file system concurrently. - If the reason this message occurred can not be determined and the message occurs when the operation is tried again, then contact IBM support for further assistance. Also try searching for this message number on http://www.ibm.com for possible solutions. -- Regards, Sunmansun Brocade Certified Fabric Professional 4Gbit/sec --BCFP IBM Certified Deployment Professional -- TSM V5.3 IBM Certified Storage Administrator -- TSM V5 On 5/24/07, Bob Booth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
A strange problem has just cropped up with an image backup on Linux. The server is 5.3.4.2 running on AIX, and the linux client version is 5.2.2 (I know it is old, but we have some 'legacy' issues). This just started happening, as it has been running literally for months without any problems. The entire image is transmitted, yet the backup fails: Backup Image Function Invoked. Using static image backup.

Is the ANS1304W the problem, and what exactly is it trying to say? Like I said, this has been working for months and just started failing a few days ago. Anyone seen this before? TIA, Bob
