Backup fails with a CPIO error even though starting with DD

Hi All,
I have started a db backup of a sap system directly onto a tape.
I am using DD since size of each datafile is more than 2 GB.
In a total of 112 data files, 109 got copied but suddenly, the following error came and brbackup got terminated.
This has happened for the second time and that too after using a separate set of tapes.
Can you please provide me your views on it. I am unable to understand why should the error contain "CPIO" if i am using DD.
The parameter settings have been made correctly in the init<SID>.sap file.
Regards,
Hari Kishan

Hello,
in addition to all the backup files, brbackup will always write one more file to the tape, right at the beginning. This file is called .tape.hdr0. It contains, in essence, the name of the tape and date of the current backup. As far as I know this file will always be written by cpio, no matter what your tape_copy_command is. At the end brbackup will check this file again, and that step failed here.
So it seems there is a problem with either your tape or your tape drive.
But don't worry about cpio!
hope this helps

  • Getting an VISANS timeout error even though VISA Status is 0

    I have an application that runs well on my development system but consistently fails at the user site giving out timeout errors even though the user experiences no time outs. Indeed, VISA returns a success status. Yet, it raises timeout exceptions such as in this segment from my trace log:
    DefaultSource, Verbose, 8, Setting timeout to 30000, "CONNECT", 2008-08-12 00:47:21Z, 2077539389311920

    The first exception above is raised on the session Message Based Reader ReadLine() command.
    Note that I check for message available before issuing read. 
    Note also that VISA NS returns a status code of success:   VISA status=Success (this is what I log above)
    The second exception is raised after I try to clear the write buffers using the Message Based Writer command: WriteLine()
    Here too VISA reports success.
    Note also that the above segment executes in less than one second whereas the time out is set to 30 seconds. 
    The user runs VISA 4.3 runtime.  I am using NationaInstruments.VisaNS 8.1.20.222.
    I would be most grateful for some clues as to how to further explore this issue.  We have been at it for a few days already and are not seeing any light at the end of this tunnel.

    Hello David,
    It looks like you are not passing any valid handlers in your viUninstallHandler command.  Calling viUninstallHandler removes the specified handler from the list of
    active handlers on the given session.  You can see the exact error information for your error in the picture below.
    Useful information can be found in the manual:  VISA Programmers Reference Manual Pages 5-146 & 7
    Have a great day!

  • I have a macbook pro version 10.7.5 and my mailbox will not open at all and comes up with a quit message even though it is not open. how can i get into my account. it works on my iPhone an i have internet and all other functions working on my computer

    I have a macbook pro version 10.7.5 and my mailbox will not open at all and comes up with a quit message even though it is not open. how can i get into my account. it works on my iPhone and i have internet and all other functions working on my computer

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

    I have our music collection on iTunes Match for my PC, ipad and iphone. 
    Can I share that music collection with my wife so she can play that with her iphone?  Even though she has a different Apple ID from me?

    Her iPhone will need to be set up to iTunes Match using your Apple ID to be able to share music via iTunes Match. Otherwise you'll have to download the music to your computer and then copy those tracks into her iTunes library, assuming hers is separate.

    Both parties must be connected to wifi to use FaceTime (and you must have FaceTime turned on in Settings>Facetime).  If you're phone shows 3G at the top when it's on, you're not connect to wifi; you'll have to solve that problem first.

    I have an iphone 4 and it's not working, if i pay can apple replace it with the same model even though it's no longer for sale?

    If the iPhone has not been opened or serviced by other than Apple
    or authoriized service provider (there are a few other requirements),
    you should be eligible for out of warranty replacemement for $149 US.
    Apple maintains sufficient stock for replacements even for iPhones that
    are no longer available for purchase. You may be better off upgrading to
    a newer version than paying $149 to stay with the iPhone 4.
    What is no longer working? If you provide more details as to the problem
    and what troubleshooting steps you have taken, some one may offer
    a solution.

  • Artists showing up as Various artists when I sync music with my iPhone 4S, even though in iTunes the song tags have been changed

    My artists are showing up as Various artists when I sync music with my iPhone 4S, even though in iTunes the song tags have been changed.
    Am I missing something?
    For example, I have 3 songs that are part of a compilation CD. I've change them to no longer being part of a compilation, and changes all of the tags of Arist and Album artist to the artists name, however they still show up as 'Various Artists' on my iPhone.
    Any ideas?

    You may find you need to remove the songs and then add them back again.

    I'm actually having a similar issue and I don't think its related to networking at all.
    I'm currently working in a corporate environment where we deploy pre-built OS X images to machines. I recently upgraded my images to 10.4.10 before we got our first Santa Rosa machine. This image was built on a MacPro and worked on all Intel Macs down to a MacMini CoreSolo. When I deployed my prebuilt image to the SR MBP, it caused a kernel panic immediately.
    Further investigation revealed previous builds of OS X, including 10.4.10 upgraded from any other model Intel Mac will kernel panic the SR MBP. Going backwards the SR Build of OSX will not work on any previous model Mac, as any other build typically does, but causes severe graphical distortion, as if it does not have the display drivers for the other Macs.
    To make a long story short, I think your issue comes from the fact that your external hard drive has an older build of OS X 10.4 than the SR MBP will run (even though you may have upgraded it to 10.4.10). Anyone who can corroborate my story with some more testing, please chime in.
    I haven't found a solution for this issue yet other than keeping a seperate Santa Rosa Core 2 Duo image for my deployments.

  • I'm having troube with music. Some artists that start with an "P" appear under the "R" menu and similarly throughout the alphabet. Same about albums, songs

    I'm having troube with music. Some artists that start with an "A" appear under the "B" menu and similarly throughout the alphabet. Same about albums, songs and genres. It suddenly happened after about 3 days of iOS 5 usage. Re-synchronization doesn't help. I also tried deleting some artists from ipod, but it doesn't help either.

    1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
    thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
    which will correct the problem...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=3754

    2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
    minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
    accurate.
    3) This?
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
    point
    4) Restore the iPod
    5) Try these...
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start

    I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
    posted for each one.

    I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

  • HT1338 Problem with MAIL, when select names that start with "E" the mail freeze. Can't fix it.

    Problem with MAIL, when select names that start with "E" the mail freeze. Can't fix it.

    Now I checked the materials that I got from AT&T Yahoo and
    port 25 is used as the outgoing mail port, 110 for incoming.
    This is for the POP type account provided by AT&T, not necessarily for an email account and SMTP server not provided by AT&T.
    Sounds like AT&T blocks using an SMTP server that is outside of their network or not provided by AT&T on Port 25.
    Try the following first.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the .Mac SMTP server.
    Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
    If this doesn't work, we will go to plan B.

  • Website failing to acquire proper permission to write to a folder under Windows 2012R2 with IIS 8.5 even though 'IIS APPPOOL\PoolName' is set properly

    Hello
    I am having specific issues in regards to IIS 8.5, Permissions, and Auditing. I have a PHP application running under KanboardPool identity and I've properly set permssions on the application 'data' folder for 'IIS APPPOOL\KanboardPool' to full control.
    In addition, I've set IIS_IUSRS to Read, execute, and list on the same folder including parent. Regardless; I still get permission denied failures.
    I've try to AUDIT file access failures without much luck: First through GPO Domain Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Advance Auditing -> Audit File Access Success and Failure. Which didn't log any
    Audit Failures. Same procedure through Domain Controller Policy and at last through Local Policy for whatever reason. Audit Policy Change is added then removed later in succession.
    Through ACL, I ran a Effective Access test on selected Principal 'IIS APPPOOL\KanboardPool' which passed with flying colors. Now I am just stumped?

    2nd Windows 2003 server has IIS 6.0
    Created an application using WebLogic Workshop and then created ear file using Build -> Build EAR in WebLogic Workshop
    Deployed this ear file to Win 2003 server having WebLogic 8.1 SP4. This got installed under
    C:\bea\weblogic81\samples\domains\workshop\cgServer\.wlnotdelete\Test
    The TestWeb is the context-root (in application.xml file)
    The application works if I use http://<<ipaddress-of-weblogic-server>>:7001/TestWeb/index.jsp from the machine that has WebLogic server
    Now on the Win 2003 server that has IIS 6.0, I get a 404 error when I try to run this as http://<<ipaddress-of-iis-machine>>/TestWeb/index.jsp.
    Here's the steps I took to set up the proxy in IIS
    1. Created a folder webLogicBridge under C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
    2. Copied iisforward.dll, iisproxy.dll files under C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\webLogicBridge
    3. Created iisproxy.ini file under C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\webLogicBridge
    3. Under IIS Manager, Default Web Site properties -> Home Directory -> Configuration
    added C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\webLogicBridge\iisproxy.dll for extension .wlforward
    4. Under ISAPI filters, added filter name "wlforward" and executable pointing to directory C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\webLogicBridge\iisforward.dll
    5. Restarted IIS using iisreset command
    iisproxy.ini file contents
    WebLogicHost=<<weblogic_server_name>>
    WebLogicPort=7001
    ConnectTimeoutSecs=20
    ConnectRetrySecs=2
    WLForwardPath=/TestWeb
    Debug=ON
    DebugConfigInfo=ON
    Note:
    1. Even though I have Debug=ON and DebugConfigInfo=ON, the log file is not being created.
    2. iisforward.dll, iisproxy.dll and iisproxy.ini are placed on the server hosting IIS.
    Any ideas?
    Pl. respondsome where else, someone mentioned that using DLLs of WL SP2 will work
    with WL SP4 Server. I am trying it. You can also check.
