How to backup and restore from tape device

nek
Greetings,

Has anyone got the latest progress on this?

It hit me this time on W2K running DB2 V8.1.5.

It returned the following warning:

D:\Temp>db2 backup db sample to \\localhost\tap e0
SQL2031W Warning! Please mount the target or source media on device
"\\localhost\ta pe0".
Do you want to continue(c), terminate this device only(d), abort the
utility(t)
? (c/d/t)

The tape is already in place, entering 'c' to the above query returned
the same warning message.

Changing \\localhost\tap e0 to \\.\tape0 would not help either.

I was able to run 'db2 initialize tape on \\.\tape0' though.

Thank you for any hints or suggestions.

\\localhost\tap e0 is a file share name, not a device name, and therefore
won't work. However, \\.\tape0 should work. Please post the content of your
dbdiag.log when running with level 4 messages enabled and/or (better!) open
a PMR.

Hi Mark,

Looks like media access problem (see below with level 4 setting).
Anything more can I do before getting the 'system admin' guy to look
into the problem?

Thanks!

Sounds to me like it might be security settings ("device and file access
denied: 0x870f0002"). Check the privileges on your backup and DB2 accounts,
as well as the security settings for both the device and the source.

Hi Mark,

I logged on as local admin account. So this may rule out the access
problem.

However, I'm checking with Sys admin guy to see if the access to tape
device is healthy. This is the first attempt to make use of the tape
backup.

Thanks for the suggestion.

As I said, you also need to check the DB2 service account's privileges, not
just your own logon account, as well as security settings. Just because
you're a local administrator doesn't mean you can do everything - unlike
Unix (root), local administrators are not part of the system TCB.

If you're using a domain account in the local Administrators group, you'll
need to enable this (db2 variable DB2_GRP_LOOKUP= LOCAL). You may need to
redirect the DB2TEMPDIR environment variable, the default is generally not
what you want. On locked-down systems, it points into a read-only directory,
which will also cause access denied failures.

Your DB2 may well (in fact most probably) be running using a domain account
(especially if you're using Kerberos authorization), so you will have to
validate these security aspects too. Also DB2 requires privileges that it
won't have merely by being a member of the local Administrators group; these
are listed in the DB2 documentation.

Consider too that a group policy may be limiting tape access, so check that.

There's a very good "white paper" on DB2 and Windows Security on the IBM DB2
web site.

Thank you for this resourceful reply. I'll go down this path and look
into it further.

Meanwhile, may I ask which particular white paper you come cross for
Windows Security?

It seems to have been pulled from

There's some information at
http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/redb...f/portals/Data

Otherwise just search the IBM sites.

In article <cj**********@n gspool-d02.news.aol.co m>, Mark Yudkin
(my************ ***********@nos pam.org) says...
It seems to have been pulled from
http://www.ibm.com/software/data/inf...hitepapers.jsp.

There's some information at
http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/redb...f/portals/Data

Otherwise just search the IBM sites.


A lot of info from that whitepaper can also be found in the redbook
'DB2 UDB Exploitation of the Windows Environment' at
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246893.html

It's a must-have when running DB2 on Windows.
