Unable to take online backup including logs with HP Data Protector - DB2 9.7 fixpack 8

Question

Dear All,
Infrastructure : -
Database - IBM DB2 LUW 9.7 fixpack 8
OS - HP-UX 11.31
Backup solution - Data protector v7
OEM of tape library i.e. HP asked me to make changes in DB parameters with values as
--> LOGRETAIN to RECOVERY
--> USEREXIT to ON
--> LOGARCHMETH1 to USEREXIT
These parameters are used for activating online backup of Database (DB2 LUW 9.7 fixpack 8).
when backup is initiated from DP, backup happen successfully with option of excluding archive logs where as when we execute backup from DP(Data protector) with option including archive logs. Backup terminates with error.
SQL2428N The BACKUP did not complete because one or more of the requested log files could not be retrieved
Dear all need your expect help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Deepak,
Thanks for your quicky reply and i have check the directory log_dir and log_archive are having enough space available.
Please find the db2diag.log file.
