APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • With APAR IZ77870 installed, backbyname will stop
    with rc=1 if a packing error occurred. The Following
    error
    messages will be displayed :
    0512-003 savevg may not have been able to archive some
    files
    backup: 0511-084 An internal packing error occurred:
    incorrect size
    backup: 0511-442 <file_path> will not be backed up.
    So the remaining files will not be backed up.
    But the mksysb script wiil set rc=0 in done_backup in
    that case.
    

Local fix

  • disable packing option of mksysb but then the mksysb size
    will be greater.
    exclude files using mksysb -e option and
    /etc/exclude.rootvg
    but then these files won't be archived.
