Error: write_bitfile_to_ASC failed to write to pipe, fd is -1, errno = 9 => This error results when
running a long running conversion program that cannot write to /var/hpss/convert/6.2 and create a fi le
called asc_fifo_bitfile (the named pipe for the C program to communicate with the DB2 load).
Resolution: Ensure that the user running the conversion has write permissions on
/var/hpss/convert/6.2. Rerun the conversion program.
Could not find database 'subsys1' using schema 'hpss'. => This error is usual ly followed by
Error: mm_InsertRecord failed, mm_status = -2001, for entry 0 and indicat es that the program
could not connect to the database.
Resolution: Make sure the database and schema exist (and that the schema is the same as the user
under which the conversion is being run). For example, when trying to insert data into a table under
schema 'hpss', run the conversion as user 'hpss'. Rerun the conversion program. Sometimes alterations
to the database, or starting and stopping DB2, can result in a first connection failing; normally the
second connection attempt succeeds.
Error: MigPolID 1 is in use by both disk and tape storage classes, exiting! => The
db_convert_migpol, or migration policy conversion, program produces this error upon trying to
convert a migration policy (in this case, migration policy 1) that in 4.5 was used by both disk and tape
storage classes. This can no longer be the case as of HPSS version 5.1.
Resolution: Create a new identical migration policy and set the disk storage class t o use one policy
and the tape storage class to use the other. Rerun the conversion program.
Error: convert_ReadServer failed, mm_status = -32016 => This error result s from a partially
configured 4.5 system. Specifically, the conversion program found a general configuration record for
a Storage Server or Name Server and could not find the corresponding specific configuration record.
Resolution: Either remove the general configuration record for the partially configured server or
contact your HPSS customer support representative and use the force option to skip converting
metadata related to the partially configured server.
6.4.2. HPSS 5.1 to 6.2 C onversion Utility Errors
This section provides troubleshooting procedures for errors that occur during the metadata
conversion from HPSS 5.1 to 6.2.
6.4.2.1. hpss_md_convert _51 Errors
Description of Error: When running option 5 (Convert Server Generic config table) Error -2 is
HPSS_ENOENT on call to mm_GetDefaultServerConfig(), <no error> is encountered.
Resolution: The uuid_create call can fail if /var/hpss/etc/ieee_8 02_addr file doesn’t exist. Run
mkhpss and select the option to create the ieee_802_addr file. Next, rerun the hpss_md_convert_51
program and select option 5 again.
Description of Error: Any error with SQL0803N error in its description.
Resolution: This error occurs when there is already metadata in the table where the conversion is
