RC=-50 backup failure for Data Protection Oracle client

Troubleshooting


Problem

Tivoli Data protection for Oracle backup fails with the following error in the Rman log: ORA-19511: Error received from media manager layer, error text: ANS1017E (RC-50) Session rejected: TCP/IP connection failure

Symptom

The DSIERROR.LOG shows the error:

18:46:30 session.cpp (3589): sessSendVerb: Error sending Verb, rc: -50



The Tivoli Storage Manager Server Activity Log may contain messages similar to:

18:46:30 ANR0480W Session 12587 for node TDPONODE
(TDP Oracle ) terminated - connection with client severed.
18:46:30 session.cpp sessSendVerb: Error sending Verb, rc: -50
18:46:30 ANS4994S TDP Oracle ANU0599 TDP for Oracle:
=>(TDPONODE) ANU2602E The object /Oracledb1//object1_1
was not found on the TSM Server .

Diagnosing The Problem

Collecting Tivoli Storage Manager trace of the failed backup using the API and SERVICE traceflags will show the following:


18:46:30.477 [002632] [1] : pscomtcp.cpp psTcpSend(): Sending to socket 44 (IPv4) -> rc=-1, errno=32 18:46:30.477 [002632] [1] : commtcp.cpp TcpFlush: error 32 during send.
18:46:30.478 [002632] [1] : commtcp.cpp ANS1006I TCP/IP write error on socket = 44, errno = 32, reason : Broken pipe
18:46:30.486 [002632] [1] : session.cpp sessSendVerb: Error sending Verb, rc: -50 18:46:30.487 [002632] [1] : commtcp.cpp TcpClose(): Closing socket

Resolving The Problem

The API trace shows the write error for the TCPIP transmissions, which is indicative of a network problem as the cause of this failure.

In this case there was a duplicate IP address on the network for this node that caused the broken pipe to occur.

It may be necessary to involve your local network team and/or utilize a network sniffer to pinpoint the failure.
