BR0255W Cannot read from standard input during a dbverify

[benoit-schmid]

Hello,

I am using:

BRBACKUP 7.20 (13)

SunOS 5.10 Generic_144488-06 sun4u

701 SAPSR3

Oracle 11.2.0,.2

brbackup -w only_dbv -t online -c -u / -e 16

It generally runs ok, but today I got:

BR0280I BRBACKUP time stamp: 2011-04-20 11.20.47

BR0063I 5 of 11 files processed - 14900.039 of 73640.086 MB done

1. Would you know what yould cause this Cannot read from standard input?

2. Is there a maximum number of process that can/should be passed to -e option?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hello Schmid

Looks like something new issue. As you are on all latest versions

DB, BRTOOLS, it seems there can be chance of bug but not sure just a guess.

BR0255W Cannot read from standard input ... it seems DBV is is stuck in here

Also noticed I/O errors which can be related to OS error or can be corruptions..

May be not much from me apart from few guess..

Hello,

There is no corruption as the next dbv run without error.

I think the I/O error does not relate to the disk but rather to the communication with STDIN.

Hello Benoît,

if I understood correctly, your brbackup was not started interactively, but in background, by crontab or DB13 or something like that.

As you perhaps know, signal 2 usually means that the process was interrupted by a ctrl-C from keyboard. This should not happen for a background process.

It could be that someone played around with kill command.

I rather suspect some resource bottleneck.

Could you please check Unix kernel parameters (or whatever their equivalent in SunOS is called - I am not familiar with it).

Or any suspicious entries in Unix log files?

regards

I strongly doubt that someone made a kill.

Unix kernel is set as documented in Sapnote for solaris and there was nothing in /var/adm/messages.

If this happened just once, I would forget about it.

Otherwise you might want to try a Google search with keywords "Solaris" and "signal 2" for a start.
