2240.0. "exit" by MUNICH::REIN (How come holes in SWISS CHEESE??) Mon Apr 14 1997 11:18

    Hallo,
    
    After one year of noproblems, Customer GKSS tells me, that
    every now and then they get Problems with their backups.
    
    Looking at the logfiles i found following error message.
    
    BACK/STOR=V2SLS/RELEASE_TAPE/LIST=_MBA1450:/FULL -
    RAID_0:/IGNO=(LABE,INTE)/IMAGE/BLOCK=65534 -

    There is noting in the trace_log, because it closed just before.
    
    on cartridge commands I get
    
    pic?
    DVAXP1 $ CARTRIDGE SHOW COMMAND dcsc_mount_volume

    Any pointers??
    
    regards

Hi Volker,

  > There is noting in the trace_log, because it closed just before.

The trace file is the source of information you will need to
begin troubleshooting.  If it "closed" before the backup failed,
then I would suspect DCSC must have terminated.

The APACHE::DCSC_TC44 notesfile is the better place to ask questions
about DCSC failures.
