Toasters,
We are backing up an F-740, running ONTAP 5.3.6R2, with dump commands executed from a Solaris host using rsh. There is a Sun L9 stacker (DLT8000) directly attached to the filer. Recently, one of the qtrees exceeded the capacity of one tape. We are attempting to do a multi tape backup using the following syntax:
rsh filer dump 0ubf 63 urst0a,urst0a /vol/vol0/home
but the backup still fails at around 50GB when the first tape fills up:
DUMP: Thu Sep 6 15:35:15 2001 : We have written 51991386 KB to tape. DUMP: Thu Sep 6 15:40:15 2001 : We have written 54129100 KB to tape. DUMP: Dumping tape file 2 on urst0a DUMP: Thu Sep 6 15:45:34 2001 : We have written 54896885 KB to tape. DUMP: Tape file 2 begins with blocks from inode 5777316 DUMP: Tape write failed. DUMP: DUMP IS ABORTED DUMP: Deleting "/vol/vol0/../snapshot_for_backup.381" snapshot.
Any ideas?
