HP Data Protector : There is no more space in the internal database for filenames


There is no more space in the internal database for filenames
This error occured due to filename.dat (The max size 2gb) so we are getting above error.
due to this while taking backup or intiated it is giving a critical error like backup is taken with logging.
Ther Resuloutaion.
In Catalog database we added another table name for more space.
now there is no error








Internal Database network communication error



The above screen describes the cell manger unable to connect the velocis database .
inthis case the user may not have the enough privilages .

DCBF is moved getting errors ????????




Data Protector could not store a part of the detail catalog during the backup or import. All files that are backed up on the same device after this message are not marked as backed up in the Data Protector Internal Database. Backup is still valid and restore of complete objects is possible.
------------

* Check the additional error message for the cause of the problem and fix the problem. Most often the problem will occur when the disk runs out of space or when the maximum size limit of the DC directories is reached. * If you want to browse files in that particular backup import the catalog for the medium that was in use when the error occurred and all media that were written after the error in the same device
----------------------------

Check for possible reasons why those files can be missing and try to fix the issue. For example if the file is on the filesystem that is for some reason not mounted, mount it ... * If file is really missing, you can get the contents of the file back by executing the following procedure: 1) Stop all sessions and close all GUIs 2) Run: omnidbutil -fixmpos 3) Find the correct medium and run "Import catalog" for that medium. Note that the debug.log contains the medium ID of the file and that you can use: omnimm -media_info * You may want to further check the Internal Database and then recover it if required. See the chapter "Managing the Data Protector Internal Database" in Data Protector Admin Guide

The above messages contains the problem and it solution. we found when some of dcbf files moved related bakup is firing at that time it is fired. if dcbf directory getting more space simply map additional directory to IDB but don't move to some other place

Yesterday i faced a issue with LTO3 Tapes when the tapes changed by some other egneer mistakenly he changed the tape in different slots. so we run the scan command in DP the entire tapes lost their pool names, after that import/scan command we indified each tape belongs to which pool the above screen shows the same.
