Back Terminated to TSM - Media controller -- problem writing to vendor device. rc = -2025

Hi Group,

I'm running DB2 UDB Enterprise Edition V7.1 in AIX 4.3.3.0. And
database backups goes to the TSM server. We have the following TSM
Client API installed in the server:

tivoli.tsm.client.api.aix43.32bit 5.1.6.0 C TSM Client -
Application Programming Interface

Now my backup getting terminated with the following message in the
db2diag.log:

2007-01-08-22.19.33.800923 Instance:****** Node:000

What is the cause for the above return codes: Which return code to
consider for troubleshooting as there are two entries RC:- 50 and RC:-
-2025....

Kindly throw some light on what is the issue and how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance,

The -2025 is an SQL-code, that you should be able to find in your DB2
Messages manual (probably as SQL2025x, where x is unknown to me).
The -50 is a TSM API-code, that can be found in the TSM Messages manual, in
the appendix containing API Return Codes.

I can recall getting the -50 about a year ago, can't recall the SQL-code
though.
In our case it was caused by the fact that our DB2-server was unable to
connect to the TSM-server, either because it was down or because it was busy
servicing other (non-DB2)-servers or something alike.

Being at home right now, I have no system or docs at hand, except for ....
the TSM Messages manual I apparently downloaded at home when we were having
our problems with TSM.

Here's wat is says about the -50 return code:

-----------------------------------------------------
-050 E DSM_RC_TCPIP_FAILURE
Explanation: An attempt to connect to the server
using TCP/IP communications failed. This error can
occur if the LAN connection went down or if your
system administrator canceled a backup operation.
System Action: Session rejected. Processing stopped.
User Response: Retry the operation, or wait until the
server comes back up and retry the operation. If the
problem continues, see your system administrator for
further help.

Actually I think you may find the -2025 is also a TSM error code :-

The only way I can find to get the meaning of these is the dsmrc.h file
within the TSM client install.

#define DSM_RC_INVALID_MCNAME -2025 /* Mgmt class name not found */

So I would suggest that the dsm.sys and dsm.opt files you have (or the
definition in DBM CFG if you have them) are not pointing at a known
management class on the TSM server ?

TSM rc -2025 also comes up when a TSM storage pool is full. Have a
look at the TSM ativity log when this error happens. TSM will tell you
there if it is a space problem.

TSM admin said it's a TIMEOUT Error..is it so? or it's a TCP/IP

Thanks
