First, I apologize for the lengthy posting. I have an AIX client that Failed its backup and I don't have a clear idea why.
I found some old APARS related to TransErrno errors, but nothing that seemed to fit. Client AIX - oslevel 5.3.0.0 TSM Client V5 R4 L1.0 TSM Server - oslevel 5.3.0.0 TSM Server V5 R5 L1.0 Checking the dsmerror and dsmsched I found the following just before the backup ended: dsmerror.log: 01/07/10 03:27:10 TransErrno: Unexpected error from opendir, errno = 9 01/07/10 03:27:10 ANS1228E Sending of object '/usr/dt/appconfig/icons/C/Dtaudio.t.bm' failed 01/07/10 03:27:10 ANS4005E Error processing '/usr/dt/appconfig/icons/C/Dtaudio.t.bm': file not found 01/07/10 03:27:10 ANS1228E Sending of object '/usr/dt/appconfig/icons/C/Dthitem.m_m.bm' failed 01/07/10 03:27:10 ANS4005E Error processing '/usr/dt/appconfig/icons/C/Dthitem.m_m.bm': file not found 01/07/10 03:27:11 ANS1999E Incremental processing of '/usr' stopped. ** 01/07/10 03:27:11 ANS1028S An internal program error occurred. ** 01/07/10 03:27:11 ANS1512E Scheduled event '3AM-DAILY-INCR' failed. Return code = 12. "File not found" errors are nothing new - The file was there when the backup began, then were gone by the time the client processed to that point. I don't expect them to fail a backup. I am inclined to regard them as coincidental but unrelated. How do I get more information on the cause of this ANS1028S? dsmsched.log: 01/07/10 03:27:11 Normal File--> 1,875 /usr/dt/appconfig/icons/C/Dtshell.m.pm [Sent] 01/07/10 03:27:11 Normal File--> 1,368 /usr/dt/appconfig/icons/C/Dtshell.m_m.bm [Sent] 01/07/10 03:27:11 Normal File--> 753 /usr/dt/appconfig/icons/C/Dtshell.st.bm [Sent] 01/07/10 03:27:11 Normal File--> 763 /usr/dt/appconfig/icons/C/Dtshell.st_m.bm [Sent] 01/07/10 03:27:11 ANS1999E Incremental processing of '/usr' stopped. 01/07/10 03:27:11 --- SCHEDULEREC STATUS BEGIN 01/07/10 03:27:11 Total number of objects inspected: 8,170 01/07/10 03:27:11 Total number of objects backed up: 6,799 01/07/10 03:27:11 Total number of objects updated: 0 01/07/10 03:27:11 Total number of objects rebound: 0 01/07/10 03:27:11 Total number of objects deleted: 0 01/07/10 03:27:11 Total number of objects expired: 0 01/07/10 03:27:11 Total number of objects failed: 78 01/07/10 03:27:11 Total number of bytes transferred: 173.06 MB 01/07/10 03:27:11 Data transfer time: 10.19 sec 01/07/10 03:27:11 Network data transfer rate: 17,390.74 KB/sec 01/07/10 03:27:11 Aggregate data transfer rate: 5,503.06 KB/sec 01/07/10 03:27:11 Objects compressed by: 0% 01/07/10 03:27:11 Elapsed processing time: 00:00:32 01/07/10 03:27:11 --- SCHEDULEREC STATUS END *** 01/07/10 03:27:11 ANS1028S An internal program error occurred. *** 01/07/10 03:27:11 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT END 3AM-DAILY-INCR 01/07/10 03:00:00 01/07/10 03:27:11 ANS1512E Scheduled event '3AM-DAILY-INCR' failed. Return code = 12. Yes, I looked at the client online help for ANS1028S. I found an old APAR that sounds related: IC44226: TSM CLIENT ABORTS BACKUP WITH ANS1028S ERROR MESSAGE - The TSM client may abort a backup with an ANS1028S Internal Program Error due to an unexpected return code from the operating system.
