Hi, I have a problem with sapdb crashing on my regular incremental backups. This happens reguarly, at random intervals.
If I then bring the db back online again, and run the backup script again, it works fine. The message in the knldiag is 2004-06-02 22:30:02 857 12821 TASKING Thread 857 starting 2004-06-02 22:30:02 30303 ERR 11277 IPC create_sem: semget error, No space left on device 2004-06-02 22:30:02 30303 ERR 11599 BTRACE ----> Emergency Stack Back Trace <---- Which would seem pretty self explanatory, except for the fact that the DB volumes are nowhere near full LOG volumes are nowhere near full Backup media are all "overwrite" and at time of failure usually have been overwritten 10 - 20 times already. Drive partitions, are nowhere near full Each day, the incremental backup would approach 300mb ( I do nightly full backups which keep the incremental size down ). I havent been able to stop this, and have also had it happen before with full backups. Does anyone know why this is happening, have had it happen to them, a soltuion, or whether it is fixed in MaxDB? I really need to do regular incremental backups, as we had a memory error a while ago where sap/the OS just DELTED it's log volume, half its config files, and some of it's data volume (ie, we lost everything up until our previous montly full backup), However I also cannot have the database shutting itself down all the time. regards Michael Andrewes - Software Director C O M M U N I C A T O R Interactive Marketing P +612 9719 1469 F +612 9719 1796 M +61 410 677 458 PAGER +612 9214 8752 W www.communicator.com.au Copyright Communicator Interactive Marketing Pty Limited 2004 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION owned exclusively by Communicator Interactive Marketing Pty Limited.
