Dear All,

Good afternoon .

I am getting below error while taking offline backup into TAPE.  Manually I am taking the backup that means inserting the tape , running the rewind command  in os level ( AIX) then initiating in DB13 and taking the backup through DB13. Earlier it was successfully completed.

Hi Sashi,

This looks like an hardware issue.

Please check weather your tape device is connected properly and mounted correctly.

Dear All,

Thanks for your reply.

Just now i have taken a PRD online backup into the same TAPE no  and it used the volume_backup = SEPB24 .

ISSUE RESOLVED

So i dont think there is any issue in TAPE library or on that particular tape.

I have some doubts , this is for my understanding

1. "Wrong volume SEPB20 found in device /dev/rmt0.1, expected: SEPB24"

why it found wrong volume SEPB20 during offline backup instead of SEPB24   and rewinding the tape means data will write in  scratch tape.So there is no question of searching of volume sequence . 

2. what does it mean " BR0217W Lock period for volume SEPB20 in device /dev/rmt0.1 not expired "

Please give your valuable suggestion .

Thanks

Hi,

expir_period = 30 is set by default , What is your value??

The below is the line from initmp1.sap

no default

volume_backup = (MP1B01, MP1B02, MP1B03, MP1B04, MP1B05,

                 MP1B06, MP1B07, MP1B08, MP1B09, MP1B10,

                 MP1B11, MP1B12, MP1B13, MP1B14, MP1B15,

                 MP1B16, MP1B17, MP1B18, MP1B19, MP1B20)

So during the backup it will take the tape with the volumes from 01 to 20.Once full cycle of backup is completed,it will start all over again.

brbackup wants CPDB20 and CPDB24

put these tapes in the tape drives

and use the volume when the period configured by parameter expir_period in the init.sap

Rableen.

Hi,

It clearly stats that the it is issue with the tape library.

BR0216E Wrong volume SEPB20 found in device /dev/rmt0.1, expected: SEPB24

R0216W Wrong volume %s in device %s, should be %s

BR0216W Falscher Datentraeger %s in Geraet %s, sollte %s sein.

BR0216E Wrong volume %s in device %s, should be %s

BR0216E Falscher Datentraeger %s in Geraet %s, sollte %s sein.

Explanation:  You inserted an incorrect volume in the backup device. The volume name was determined automatically. The program requires that you accept this proposal.

Program reaction:  Waits for the user to insert the correct volume (BR0216W) or processing to terminate (BR0216E).

User action:  Insert the correct volume and continue the operation or repeat the processing.

BR0217W Lock period for volume %s in device %s not expired.

BR0217W Sperrfrist fuer Datentrager %s in Geraet %s nicht abgelaufen.

BR0217E Lock period for volume %s in device %s not expired.

BR0217E Sperrfrist fuer Datentrager %s in Geraet %s nicht abgelaufen.

Explanation:  The volume inserted in the backup device is still physically locked. You can only use the volume when the period configured by parameter expir_period in the init.sap profile has expired.

Program reaction:  Waits for the user to insert the correct volume (BR0217W) or for processing to terminate (BR0217E).

User action:  Find out about the

lock management and repeat the action with the correct parameters.

Thee are the explanation.
