IT03564: BACKUP FAILS WITH ERROR "NO SPACE LEFT ON DEVICE" FOR PUREAPPLICATION SYSTEM

IBM PureApplication System Version 1.1.0.5

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A scheduled or manually started backup fails with error message
  "No space left on device".    The error message can be seen by
  - Logging onto the PureApplication System,
  - Selecting System Console > System > Job Queue
  - Selecting the Type filter and typing:  backup
  - Selecting the Job Details icon on the far right for the
  failed backup job.
  

Local fix

• None.  The space issue being reported is internal to the
  PureApplication System and does not indicate insufficient space
  is available on the backup location.
  

Problem summary

• Files being backed up are encypted and then copied to the backup
  location. The files were being encrypted in parallel requiring a
  much higher temporary disk space which caused a "No space left
  on device" error to occur.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is being delivered to encrypt files being backed up
  individually so that the space requirements are decreased.
  

Temporary fix
