Author Changing IP on Solaris
allan@magentatech.com.au

I recently changed the IP address on a Solaris server. The interfaces
file was
edited and Sybase came up OK. However since the change I can not get a
database
dump to complete. Transaction dumps complete (we run them every 20
minutes) but
database dumps hang after a while.

The time it takes to hang varies. it could create a 700Meg file or a
1.8G file
before it hangs. I am thinking along the lines of there is some kind of
moitoring that is not working because of a connectivity problem.

Has anyone had this experience or know what the answer is.

Thanks

Allan

How did you edit it? By hand or thru dsedit?

Is your interfaces file in TLI format or in name/IP format?
Is the entry for Backup Server correct? Does sp_helpserver
output the correct information with respect to SYB_BACKUP?
Is there anything in the backup server's log?

Late last night I had a break through. Reconfiguring DBCC and running
checkstorage has now allowed the database dumps to run. I do not
understand this because I ran the checkstorage without the fix option.
I don't know if this still fixes some things but dumping the database
now works.

I ams still suspicious that the IP address change caused the problemm
but dbcc was not working. Maybe there was something that indicated a
dbcc needed to be done before dumping. Just guessing.

Thanks

There was no error message in the logs? That would be
unusual but not unheard off. The last time I had a
problem anywhere close to resembling yours was with an
old 4.9.2 version where the dump process hung at the very
point where I'd extended a database.
