IT04528: SYSBACK BACKUP RECEIVES: LS: 0653-341 THE FILE *GSK8* DOES NOT EXIST.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When performing a sysback backup, this message is received
  throughout the backup:
  
  ls: 0653-341 The file *gsk8* does not exist.
  
  The message is seen when gsk filesets are not installed.
  gsk is a prereq for the TSM BA and API client.  If
  sysback is not backing up to TSM and the TSM BA/API and gsk
  filesets are not installed, these messages will be witnessed.
  
  They are purely cosmetic and will not cause a problem with
  the backup.
  

Local fix

• 1)
  make a copy of:
  /usr/lpp/sysback/sysback.lib
  
  cp /usr/lpp/sysback/sysback.lib /usr/lpp/sysback/sysback.lib.old
  
  2)
  
  vi /usr/lpp/sysback/sysback.lib
  
  Change this stanza:
  
  GSK8_LIBS=$(ls *gsk8*)
  if [[ -n "$GSK8_LIBS" ]]; then
     TSMAPILIBFILES="$TSMAPILIBFILES $GSK8_LIBS"
  fi
  
  To:
  
  GSK8_LIBS=$(ls *gsk8* 2>/dev/null)
  if [[ -n "$GSK8_LIBS" ]]; then
     TSMAPILIBFILES="$TSMAPILIBFILES $GSK8_LIBS"
  fi
  
  3)
  source /usr/lpp/sysback/sysback.lib to verify the
  message is no longer displayed:
  
  . /usr/lpp/sysback/sysback.lib
  
  <dot><space>/usr/lpp/sysback/sysback.lib
