Invalid Archive Error Message
Why does VolServ
software display an invalid
archive error message
when a user tries to assign
a media class (using the
Create Archive Media
Class) to a successfully
configured archive.
VolServ must be cycled to recognize the
newly-configured archive.
Software Connection
What should be done if
VolServ cannot connect to
the archive?
If VolServ cannot connect to the archive,
issue a ping for the host name of that
archive. If the ping is unable to
communicate, a network problem exists
that needs correction.
Software Initialization
What should be done if
VolServ does not
initialize?
If VolServ does not initialize, perform the
following procedure:
Step 1: Verify that the login is correct.
Step 2: Ensure the VolServ license string
is correct.
Step 3: Ensure access to the database.
Step 4: Verify the system environment
variables.
Step 5: Verify the path.
Step 6: Verify the vslogfile file ownership
and protection.
Step 7: Verify that no subprocesses are
active.
