Errors encountered when restoring a snapshot

The following errors might be encountered when restoring from a snapshot:

• The mmrestorefs command fails with an ENOSPC message. In this case, there are not enough free blocks in the file system to restore the selected snapshot. You can add space to the file system by adding a new disk. As an alternative, you can delete a different snapshot from the file system to free some existing space. You cannot delete the snapshot that is being restored. After there is additional free space, issue the mmrestorefs command again.
• The mmrestorefs command fails with quota exceeded errors. Try adjusting the quota configuration or disabling quota, and then issue the command again.
• The mmrestorefs command is interrupted and some user data is not restored completely. Try repeating the mmrestorefs command in this instance.
• The mmrestorefs command fails because of an incorrect file system, fileset, or snapshot name. To fix this error, issue the command again with the correct name.
• The mmrestorefs -j command fails with the following error:

  6027-953

  Failed to get a handle for fileset filesetName, snapshot snapshotName in file system fileSystem. errorMessage.

  In this case, the file system that contains the snapshot to restore should be mounted, and then the fileset of the snapshot should be linked.

If you encounter additional errors that cannot be resolved, contact the IBM® Support Center.
