EMCOPY- Error when running incremental

/w: is not going to help you ..it simply waits for 30 seconds before trying for one more time and then keeps on going. What's in the log ..anything about "access denied" or anything like that ?

Not many error -

file's purge can't be achieved.

Trying to DELETE due to copy ABORT.

can you try with these params:

/o /s /purge /d /c /r:1 /w:1 /tee

Strange

Have you tried running EMCopy with less threads (default is 64). Maybe source is overloaded

Try with /th 16 (16 threads)

thanks bergec & Dynamox -

I forgot to add- my target after 2nd incremental run had a total of 404 GB (  ~ 650GB in source )   available , this includes the bulk copy data. After the completion of 3rd Inc. copy ( where only 20 GBs were copied) it showed 277GB total .How could that be possible ?

the log showed  huge list of "files deleted" on target , and those files 're actually present on source .

Is it something EMCOPY is deleting the already copied files on the target and now that the source copy is active target copies 're getting deleted considering them unhealthy ??  So what exactly it means when the Log says-- "files deleted" ( Not asking about - "deleted due to copy abort ")

E.g

\\sourceserver\share01\000000044\0018880001.tif-- file deleted

TH032 : 13:03:24 : ERROR (64) : \\sourceserver\share01\00000002\00190A0001.tif -> unable to read file

TH032 : 13:03:24 : WARNING : \\tempserver\share01\00000002\00190A0001.tif -> Trying to DELETE due to copy ABORT.

TH032 : 13:03:24 : WARNING : \\tempserver\share01\00000002\00190A0001.tif -> DELETED due to copy ABORT.

Bergec- I havent looked into the /th option . I was thinking of using it if i am running 4-5 copies simultaneously, but i am going to try it this time .

please advise!  Meanwhile , I am running Dynamox recomandation + EMCOPY ver 4.8

Update is - I have more files deleted .

The target has now 192GB of data compared to 325 GB it intially had .

You need to look at the specific error code you get (these are std Windows API error codes)

For exeample ERROR 64 is

c:\> net helpmsg 64

The specified network name is no longer available.

You can as well get ERROR 32 (file locked on source) and in that case EMCopy will delete file on DST

Try running the copy from a Checkpoint on the source (if source is a Celerra) or decipher errors caused by the source being in production from other errors

thanks for the comment . I looked into the errors , but nothing was specific . Most of them were " filed deleted"  but no errors.

All i did is remove the /purge & used /r:2  /w:30  , run a full copy and then keep running incremental  till the cutover. All Cifs data migrated now . customer is happy , I 'm happy !

Thanks both of you for the valuable inputs .

HI

I'm in same situation, i got 450GB but only copied 120GB?

I used  /purge  /o /a /s /secfix /d /th 16 /c /cm md5 /r:1 /w:0 /log C:\DataMigration\Users_inc_%All%.log?

As

This thread is 4 years old, you might want to start a new thread along with the particular details of your environment. For example, what type of array and hosts, the Flare code for the array or the code level for the File side, how these are all connected, which version of EMCOPY you're using etc.
