No dump device has been specified.
This error can be caused by a hardware problem.
This error occurs when Adaptive Server is unable to access a dump device during a database dump. This error is fatal and stops the dump from completing.
Error 3201 is usually caused by one of the following conditions:
The device you specified for the dump is offline or otherwise unavailable to Adaptive Server.
Permissions for the dump device are not set correctly for user “sybase” or the user performing the dump (read and write privileges are required).
A previous dump aborted and Adaptive Server believes the dump device is still in use.
Verify that the device you specified is defined for your Adaptive Server:
1> select * from master..sysdevices 2> where status = 16 or status = 24 3> go
low high status cntrltype name phyname mirrorname --- ------ ------- ---------- ---------- ---------- --------- 0 20000 16 2 tapedump1 /dev/rmt4 NULL 0 20000 16 3 tapedump2 /dev/rst0 NULL
If the device is not there, use sp_addumpdevice to add the device.
At the operating system level, check the permissions for the dump device and for user “sybase” or the user performing the dump (read and write privileges are required).
If you still have not resolved the error, check the operating system error log for operating system errors. If no errors are logged in the operating system error log and there are no other errors in the Adaptive Server or Backup Server error log, contact Sybase Technical Support for assistance.
Refer to “Specifying the Database and Dump Device” in the System Administration Guide: Volume 2 for information.
If you call Technical Support, have the information on hand that is listed in “Reporting errors”, including the output from select * from sysdevices.
