After the job completes successfully, Windows Explorer on the host does not show the disk (drive letter F). The disk does appear in the host Disk Management window, but Open and Explore operations on the disk fail. Explanation / resolution The dynamic remounting (mount without a reboot) step in the job causes the host OS to loose track of some drive information. To resolve this issue: 1. Ensure that no replication manager jobs involving the host are running or scheduled to run during the reboot. 2. On the enabled host, close applications, as appropriate. 3. Reboot the host. This clears the drive information issue. 4. Restart applications on the host, as appropriate. 5. Consider rewriting the job to eliminate the remount issue. Troubleshooting - Tru64 UNIX Job with AdvFS replication fails - Tru64 UNIX Problem Job that replicates Tru64 UNIX AdvFS host volumes fails on job commands like: CreateHostVolumeFromDiskDevices CreateHostVolumeGroup. Messages in the replication manager event log indicate that the host volume could not be found in the volume group. In the host directory /var/adm/messages, a message like the following can appear: Jun 5 18:50:44 rita vmunix: Found bad xor in sbm_total_free_space! Corrupted SBM metadata file! Jun 5 18:50:44 rita vmunix: An AdvFS domain panic has occurred due to either a metadata write error or an internal inconsistency. This domain is being rendered Jun 5 18:50:44 rita vmunix: Please refer to guidelines in AdvFS Guide to File System Administration regarding what steps to take to recover this domain. Explanation / resolution When a job is run, heavy I/O in any of the mounted filesets in the domain can lead to domain panic, causing the job to fail. Resolve any issues on the host, modify the job to use freezefs and thawfs utilities, and rerun the job.
