Backup error after kernel patch upgrade

Former Member

Hi.

I have a backup problem after the kernel patch upgrade. I have SAP R3 4.6C on HPUX11.0 with an Oracle 8.17 database.

I have upgraded kernel patch from 1655 to 2337.

Afterward, I am getting following backup error:

BR280I Time stamp 2007-11-06 09.29.01

BR279E Return code from '/usr/sap/HAD/SYS/exe/run/backint -u HAD -f backup -i /oracle/HAD/sapbackup/.bdwnpztp.lst -t file_online -c': 2

BR232E 0 of 115 files saved by backup utility

BR280I Time stamp 2007-11-06 09.29.01

BR231E Backup utility call failed

Does anyone know how to correct this?

Thank you.

Hi Jun,

backint is a link file that is in SAP kernel directory which links to the backup client on the server.

eg:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 32 Aug 13 2004 backint -> /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/backint

As part of kernel upgrade process, the kernel is backed up, mostly on the disk before upgrading. Check if this link exists and recreate it in the kernel directory, if no backup was done, compare it with other systems to get the details of the backint link.

Cheers,

Nisch

Did you execute the script

saproot.sh <SID>

after you upgraded the kernel?

Ok...

you backint provider is failing. Check for logs of your backup software.

when you replaced kernel, did you keep a copy of program backint ? if this is the cae, put back a copy in the kernel directory.

Do you mean that just go back to previous kernel? or just restore selectively?

"backint" is a tool that is installed with your backup client software of the machine, it's not something, that SAP delievers.

Either copy the tool from a backup or remove and reinstall your backup client software.
