0516-418 Illegal data from standard input line 5


Question:

Env:
  AIX 4.2.1
  RISC R40
  sysback.rte 4.1.3
  sysback.sbom 4.1.3

Problem:
  Customer is running a offline mirror backup and getting
  this error message when trying to create a local volume

  0516-418 Illegal data from standard input line 5

Action Taken:
  I am sending sysback 4.1.4 and sysback.sbom 4.1.4
  Also updating bos.rte.lvm 4.2.1.9

Action Plan:
  If those fixes do not correct the problem, then we will start 
  looking at these files in /tmp:

  In the /tmp directory view each of these files and make sure
  they look correct:

sbom_copynum.\
sbom_lvlist 
sbom_lvlist.\
sbom_lvmap.\
sbom_lvminfo.\
sbom_odmadd.\
sbom_pvlist
sbom_pvlist.\
sbom_vglist

 I was able to reproduce the problem:
  mklv -y pick1L -m \ sbomvg1 250

It failed in the same exact manner

Next I will have the customer fax me the map file

Response:

There appears to be some incorrect values in the
sbom_lvmap.\ file

hdisk1_sbom:216
hdisk2_sbom:216
hdisk7_sbom:216
hdisk9_sbom:216
hdisk1_sbom2:217
hdisk2_sbom3:217

This keeps repeating for hdisk1 and hdisk2 through out the map
file.  It looks correct for hdisk7 and hdisk9

This will be fixed in the next lavel of the sysback.sbom. 
The problem only occurs on systems with ten or more disk drives.
You may apply the changes as follows to the /usr/sbin/sbom_backup
program on the customer's system. You may also grab the 
/usr/sbin/sbom_backup program from this system with the change 
applied if you prefer.

Change line 933 
from:
        sed "s/$disk/$tmpdisk/" > $odmaddfl
to:
        sed "s/$disk\\"/$tmpdisk\\"/" > $odmaddfl
                    \^\^         \^\^

Change line 945
from:
        print "s/$disk/$tmpdisk/" >> $sedfile
to:
        print "s/$disk:/$tmpdisk:/" >> $sedfile
