41 errors are a bit nebulous at times. Often enough they don't really indicate any problem with "networking" but rather with "finishing the job across the network" which isn't quite the same thing.
We have one environment here that will give us a 41 error when we attempt to backup the database on it while it is still running. I've also seen 41 errors on another system's incrementals even though it runs every full backup without an issue. Check your target and see if you can traverse the directories with simple commands (ls for unix, dir for Windows cmd). See if there are any databases running that might prohibit the action you're attempting (e.g. filesystem backup when the database is running). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Schmarck Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2008 2:58 AM To: WEAVER, Simon (external) Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] (41) network connection timed out On Tue, May 6, 2008 at 8:04 AM, WEAVER, Simon (external) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > most likely, Network performance related. Hm. But why don't I have any network performance problems, when I backup to disk, when I backup to tape (with a shorter delay up front) or in any other network operations? I'm not absolutely ruling out network problems, but it seems so completely unlikely. > Check this as a troubleshooting guide.... > > My view - NIC / Card settings or not negotiating correctly (either its If that would be the case, shouldn't I see problems in other operations as well?
