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.
