Error in redo log backup from DB13.

Hi,

I am able to take redo log backup successfully from brtools but when I am trying through DB13 it is terminating. I have initialized the tape with option force.

The log is showing the below message.

.........................................................................................

BR0351I Restoring /oracle/CPL/sapreorg/.tape.hdr0

BR0355I from /dev/rmt1.1 ...

BR0278E Command output of 'LANG=C cd /oracle/CPL/sapreorg && /usr/sap/CPL/SYS/exe/run/brtools -f detach LANG=C cpio -iuvB .tape.hdr0 < /dev/rm

Can't read input

If you want to go on, type device/file name when ready

/dev/tty: No such device or address

BR0280I BRARCHIVE time stamp: 2007-12-30 17.55.13

BR0279E Return code from 'LANG=C cd /oracle/CPL/sapreorg && /usr/sap/CPL/SYS/exe/run/brtools -f detach LANG=C cpio -iuvB .tape.hdr0 < /dev/rmt

BR0359E Restore of /oracle/CPL/sapreorg/.tape.hdr0 from /dev/rmt1.1 failed due to previous errors

BR0218E Checking label on volume in device /dev/rmt1.1 failed

BR0236I Perhaps volume initialization with option '-i force' required

.........................................................................................

Kindly provide your inputs on the same.

Thanks and Regards,

Amit Kumar Jana.

Hi,

This problem is not due to tape initialization problem as I have mentioned that the backup was working fine with brtools. This was failing in DB13 and problem is now solved by providing some access rights.

Hi Amit

BR0218E Checking label on volume in device /dev/rmt1 failed

It appears to me that the tape already has some label which is preventing this tape to be used.

Do the following:

brbackup -i show => post the output

What is your backup cycle? Send me the init.sap file

This is something related to tape locking.

Clean the tape

Hi,

+/dev/tty: No such device or address+

Which means that the backup device is not responding. The device is not properly inserted into the tape drive could be possible reason or there is no tapes present in the drive for backup.
