Giobbi Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hi. Suddenly Retrospect decided that i cant se shiet. I haven't been doing any config for the last month, the server has been running buy it self. But yesterday every time i start the gui console it freezes. Sometimes i se one client and nothing more, sometimes i see all scripts but nothing else. Any last tip before i have to redo it all? thx. p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeDave Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 - "Freezes" how? No mouse? No cursor? - How long have you waited for the Console to refresh? - Is the Engine on the same machine as the Console? - Are there any network Source volumes (such as a NAS) that are not available on the network Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 You can also open the "operations_log.utx" file with a text editor to see if anything amiss is in there (though it's difficult to read outside of the console app sometimes...)

Giobbi Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Sorry, vague description.. : ) Console on same machine. Refresh in about the same time as usual, except for the missing stuff in there. Freezes after a min or so, totally hanged. One volume (10.4 server afp volume) is offline now that you mention it. I can't take it off Retrospect since i can't see any there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeDave Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 One volume (10.4 server afp volume) is offline now that you mention it Let the Retrospect console sit for half an hour; it'll come back. It's a nasty bug with remote shares that are offline; EMC is aware of it. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giobbi Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I guess its this: Feb 18 04:25:12 backup com.retrospect.RetroEngine[637]: #2> MapError: unknown Mac error -5000 Been running all night but still no access. : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeDave Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Well, -5000 is a Mac OS permission error. How does the timestamp relate to what you're doing or seeing? Can you bring the missing sharepoint back online? It's still unknown exactly what you are seeing ('totally hanged'?) and what you might have already tried (restarting Engine? restarting host machine?)

Giobbi Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hi. Yes it is, permission err. Hangs yes, like hell. I restart the server, start console and often i can't see diddly, sometimes i can see ONE client, sometimes all scripts, always my tapebackup thou. ONCE i have seen all my sources, but i wasnt enable to delete the two that are gone now, it all froze. All this before everything freezes, unclickable, anywere. The engine seems to be running thou, got a lot of network traffic at the right backuptime. But whats the user when i cant use the console? Hm. When i start the server it often hangs just before the AFP volume to be mounted so i probably got the bug. No, i cant bring the volume back, its erased forever. : ) I really dont want to do it all over again. : / p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giobbi Posted February 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Solved! I finally got it, it was a client that got rouge. When i deleted the client, an OSX Server 10.5.8 that has been removed, it all worked fine again. Strange is that the two shares, on the same server, that i have mounted via Retrospect 8, this server, is still in the sources list and obviously Retro is working so it was the client! They are now to be removed, just to make sure.. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeDave Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 When i deleted the client, an OSX Server 10.5.8 that has been removed Deleted the client where/how? From the Retrospect Console? I thought you'd reported the Console as being "totally hanged?" Shaking head... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
