tctl read - not enough memory

[DarinGowan]

During a backup script, file 1 is read to populate several variables. However, the backup is failing on two of my servers with the following error msg:

bkup.ksh[44]: 0403-029 There is not enough memory available now.

After further investigation, I found that the error message is being issued directly after a tctl command (as follows):

HEADER=`tctl -f /dev/rmt0.1 read`

I've attempted to kill any *unnecessary* processes, but the error is still ocurring.

Thank for your help! (Please)

Hi

Is the tape is good?
And cant you try rmt0 instead of rmt0.1?

The problem is most likely with the wrong block size.

Try different values. "Long live king Moshiach !"
