We are running Novell NetWare 6.5, SP4a, NSS4b and Veritas Backup Exec 9.1.1158.4 with OFM 9.4.01m.
All backup jobs works as expected except when
the Open File Option is used.
These are the error messages that appears when attempting to backup the SYS volume:
27/10/2005 17.14.07 : COMN-3.23-34
Severity = 5 Locus = 2 Class = 6
NSS-2.70-5005: Volume NWGTF/SYS_SV user data write
(20204(zio.c)) to block 81060(file block 305)(ZID 189302) failed.
27/10/2005 17.14.07 : COMN-3.23-1092
Severity = 4 Locus = 3 Class = 0
NSS-3.00-5001: Pool NWGTF/SYS_SP is being deactivated. An I/O
error (20204(zio.c)) at block 511879(file block -511879)(ZID 4) has compromised pool integrity.
Even with the latest updates installed for both NetWare and Backup Exec, backup jobs using OFO does not succeed, and the server goes nowhere until I reboot it the hard way.
Luckily, no data has been lost nor does nss VerifyPool complain about anything being wrong with the regular NSS pools.
Does somebody know how to make OFO work under these circumstances?
