Re: HMC Save Critical Console Data

Alright... fixes are done without too much trouble (the Infocenter updates
were LONG downloads), but my 'Save Critical Console Data' operation still
goes to the DVD and runs for hours with the light flashing.  I've got a PMR
open on it and will hopefully go further with IBM on the issue today.

Anyone ever run into problems with this HMC save?

HMC Save Critical Console Data







 Has anyone run into a problem where the Save Critical Console Data
function runs for a long time and seems to not complete?  I'm trying to
run
an initial backup of our new HMC and the first 2 saves have behaved this
way (the first one (18hours+) was due to an unformatted DVD, but the
second
one was freshly formatted from the HMC for backup/restore(I ended it and
rebooted at around 4 hours).  Support has suggested that I load MH00695,
MH00746, MH00688, and MH00822, but i'd really like to get a backup
completed before loading HMC fixes (which will also be a first for me).

Any ideas on why the process might not be completing?  It gives the
following status:

Backup starting...
Generating the list of files to archive...
Number of files to archive is: 1541
Creating archive file...
Offloading archive file...

At this point the DVD drive light is blinking every so often.
