Question & Answer
Question
Getting HSCLA50F error "backup tasks is already in progress please try again later" on the Power Systems Hardware Management Console (HMC)
Cause
This error usually means that there had been a backup that failed in the past.
Answer
If you encounter the HSCLA50F error you will need to run a series of commands to allow the bkconsdata command to work again:
- Reset the backup lock condition
bkconsdata -r none
- Remove old archive data (in case /var needs cleanup)
chhmcfs -o f -d 0
- Reboot the HMC
hmcshutdown -t now -r
After the HMC reboots, try the backup again.
