Text and Explanation

4.76.3

3

Device %1!: %2! is not a legal virtual block  number.

Explanation: Internal error, contact Sybase Technical Support. Backup Server cannot determine what portions of the specified database device should be backed up because information about the device sent from Adaptive Server does not correspond with the actual physical device.

4.77.2

2

Device %1! may not be used: minimum blocksize for  I/O exceeds device maxiumum of %2!.

Explanation: Backup Server requires tape devices to support an I/O size of at least 2K. The tape device found has a maximum I/O size less than 2K. This message should never appear. If it does, user should check device name specification. If correct, user must use another device.

4.78.2

2

Option %1!: illegal value %2!.

Explanation: This indicates the user has supplied an illegal value for a device option. Review the device options and legal values.

4.79.2

2

Server %1!, device %2!: illegal I/O  size %3!--max %4!.

Explanation: Indicates a programming bug in a local or remote Backup Server. The I/O service layer has received a read or write request size that exceeds the available buffer size.

4.80.2

2

Server %1!, device %2!: You must use the  no-rewind-on-close tape device.

Explanation: Backup Server requires all tape devices to use the no-rewind-on-close option, so that it can fully control tape positioning.

4.81.2

2

Server %1!: device %2! is open for writing;  you may not specify the @fname parameter when changing  volumes.

Explanation: The @fname parameter is meaningful only at load time, to select a certain file to load from a multi-file volume. At dump time, the Backup Server assigns a name to the file that will contain the dump. Message 6.28.1 returns the assigned name.

4.82.2

2

Operating system error, server %1! device %2!:  code %3! message %4!.

Explanation: This message appears when a system call (perhaps performed as part of a higher-level operation) has failed. It is intended primarily for diagnostic use and should be interpreted in the context of immediately preceding messages.

4.83.2

2

Device %1!: The specified blocksize %2!  is not within the range of %3! to %4!.

Explanation: The user-specified block size is out of range. Respecify block size within the listed limits.

4.84.1

1

Device %1!: The specified blocksize of %2!  will be truncated to %3! which is a multiple of %4!.

Explanation: The user-specified block size was truncated to be a multiple of 2048.

4.85.1

1

Device %1!: Disk model %2! does not exist  in the /etc/disktab file. Using default values  for this device.

Explanation: The disk device is not configured in /etc/disktab, so a default disk block size will be used.

4.86.2

2

Unable to initialize Async IO on the database device %1!.  Backup Server must use Async IO on a block special devices because  Adaptive Server Enterprise is doing the same.

Explanation: This is an HP-specific error. If Adaptive Server Enterprise is using asynchronous I/O for a block special device, then backup Server must do the same in order to guarantee disk coherency. Block I/O without asynchronous isa buffered I/O operation. With asynchronous I/O, it is not buffered. If two processes access the same disk, one using buffered I/O and the other using nonbuffered I/O, the current image of a disk page may be ignored by one of the processes.

4.87.2

2

Device %1!: uname() failed with error: %2!.

Explanation: HP only: Backup Server is trying to identify the machine as an HP 800 or HP 700. The uname call (which gets this information) failed.

4.88.2

2

Device %1!: Could not determine device type due to  unknown machine model. Expected models are HP9000/800 & 700  series.

Explanation: Related to Error 4.87.2. After getting the machine name with the uname call, Backup Server could not identify the device type because it could not identify the machine type. Only 800 and 700 series machines are expected.
