027 WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 027: V-2-27: vx_snap_bpcopy - mount_point
snapshot file system write error
• Description
A write to the snapshot file system failed.
As the primary file system is updated, copies of the original data are read
from the primary file system and written to the snapshot file system. If
one of these writes fails, the snapshot file system is disabled.
• Action
Check the console log for I/O errors. If the disk has failed, replace it.
Resolve the error on the disk and rerun any backups or other applications
that were using the snapshot that failed when the error occurred.
028 WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 028: V-2-28: vx_snap_alloc - mount_point
snapshot file system out of space
• Description
The snapshot file system ran out of space to store changes.
During a snapshot backup, as the primary file system is modified, the
original data is copied to the snapshot file system. This error can occur if
the snapshot file system is left mounted by mistake, if the snapshot file
system was given too little disk space, or the primary file system had an
unexpected burst of activity. The snapshot file system is disabled.
• Action
Make sure the snapshot file system was given the correct amount of
space. If it was, determine the activity level on the primary file system. If
the primary file system was unusually busy, rerun the backup. If the
primary file system is no busier than normal, move the backup to a time
when the primary file system is relatively idle or increase the amount of
disk space allocated to the snapshot file system.
Rerun any backups that failed when the error occurred.
