IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

FMV4056E

Object 'object-name' returned by the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server has a high-level name that exceeds the maximum length of 6000 characters. The file or directory cannot be processed.

Explanation

The IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager server returned information about a backup or archive version with a high level name that exceeds 6000 characters. The high-level name is the directory path that contains the object (file or directory).

This message is displayed when all of the following conditions are true:
  • The object was backed up or archived by a version 6.1 or lower IBM Tivoli Storage Manager client.
  • The object was backed up or archived to a version 5.5 or lower IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server.
  • IBM Tivoli Storage Manager client version 6.2 or higher is attempting to perform an operation that causes the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server to return information about this object to the client. Note: During incremental backup, the server returns information to the client about active backup versions which is used to determine which files have changed.

Beginning with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server version 6.1, the maximum high level name length was reduced from 8192 characters to 6000 characters. Objects with high level names that exceed 6000 characters are not supported for backup or archive. Beginning with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client version 6.2, the maximum high level name length was similarly reduced.

System action

The file or directory specified in the message is skipped. Processing will continue with the next object.
