Good morning everyone. I am trying to use ontape to restore some
dbspaces and I am getting a weird message:
/
dd: 0511-051 The read failed.
: There is not enough memory available now.
0+0 records in.
0+0 records out.

Physical restore failed - function read archive backup failed code 1
errno 0
Program over.
\
The host is an IBM RS6000 running AIX 5.2. The engine is IDS 9.40.fc2.
Also, the tape device in onconfig is configured as a remote device
like so "system:/dev/rmt0"

As I understand it, after the 9.2->9.4 upgrade, we had to change the
tape device from rmt0 to the system name:rmt0 due to some problem that
was occuring. This was done at support centers recomendation and I am
going to call them back but I am dreading it because the archive guru
I always get is so snotty.

Anyone ever seen anything like this?

Lack of kernel? Looks like the "dd" command ran out of memory. Check
what the kernel recommendations are for memory in
"$INFORMIXDIR/release/en_us/0333/ids_unix_release_notes_9.40.txt" file
(or a similar file name) against what you have set in /unix.

The remote TAPEDEV device configuration shouldn't have made a
difference. I'm curious who the snooty archive guru is? Hope this
information helps.
