Index message: Cross check exited with status '256'

Question

Greetings,

Started having problems with another client. This time the precmd ran twice before the Legato backup was done. There are 3 separate backups defined for the client and this happened to 2 of the 3. I noticed in nwadmin in the Clients window with Details View enabled that field 'Index message:' has the following message: 'Cross check exited with status '256'. I've always seen this field blank. I searched the forum & KB with no luck. I also checked the Error Message manual but it wasn't there either.

According to the on-line help for the Client window this field 'Displays the resulting message of an index purge or compress operation'. I assume the purge would occur when retention periods expire. Any ideas what the error message means?

Legato: 7.2.1
Client: Tru64 V5.1B
Server: RedHat Linux V3.6

Thanks,
Vic

Try nsrck -L6 for that client and check exit code after.

Hrvoje,Thanks for the suggestion. I ran 'nsrck -L6' on the client and the exit code was 0 so the index looks OK.Vic

Try now nsrim -c (actual cross-check).

Tried nsrim and it seem to work, no errors and exit status was 0. Maybe the error was a fluke so I'm not going to worry about it. I'm going to wait until tomorrow to see if the precmd runs twice again.

Thanks,
Vic

It looks like as it was one of those one-time glitches.
