     E5000 - Failed to connect to workstation - Is Agent loaded?


          Problem
          The workstation Agent is not loaded, or the workstation is blocked
          by a network broadcast message.

          Resolution
          Load the appropriate Agent.  Use CASTOFF ALL to block broadcast
          messages to the workstation.  Or, at the server console, in
          ARCserve's Configuration screen, turn on the Turn off all messages
          to workstation option to prevent ARCserve from sending any
          broadcast messages.

     E5001 - Failed to establish connection with WS @ [network #], [node
     address]


          Problem
          The workstation Agent is not loaded, or the workstation is blocked
          by a network broadcast message.

          Resolution
          Load the appropriate Agent.  Use CASTOFF ALL to block broadcast
          messages to the workstation.  Or, at the server console, in
          ARCserve's Configuration screen, turn on the Turn off all messages
          to workstation option to prevent ARCserve from sending any
          broadcast messages.

     E5002 - Failed to start database session, [error code]
     E5003 - Failed to add record to ARCserve database,[error code]
     E5004 - Failed to end database session, [error code]


          Problem
         
There is no available disk space on the ARCserve volume.

          Resolution
         
Use CHKVOL  or VOLINFO to see if the ARCserve volume has run out of
          disk space. 

          See also TECHNOTE: ARCserve and File Server Disk Space Problems.

          Problem
         
The database may be corrupt or in an inconsistent state.

          Resolution
         
Look in the ARCserve Activity Log for a Btrieve error.

          See also Btrieve Status Codes and Messages

     E5005 - Failed to locate directory [directory name] on workstation

          Problem
         
A source directory of the workstation backup job no longer exists
          on that workstation.  The directory may have been deleted by a user
          since the job was created, or it may have been a temporary
          directory that was deleted by a normal workstation process.

          Resolution
         
Verify that the directory no longer exists on the target drive.  If
          this is a repeating job, modify it and deselect the source
          directory that no longer exists.

     E5006 - Failed to allocate filter buffer [number] bytes
     E5007 - Failed to allocate memory (number Bytes) for WS Backup


          Problem
         
The host server does not have enough memory to process the job.

          Resolution
         
See Checking File Server Memory Status.

     E5008 - Failed to create file [file name] - [error message]

          Problem
         
The Workstation Restore process fails to create the file on the
          workstation due to one of the following causes:

          1. There is already a file in the target directory with the same
          file name.

          2. The workstation disk may be full.

          3. The file is opened by another application in a locked or
          exclusive mode.

          Resolution
         
For each of the causes check the following:

          1. If the file or directory exists but cannot be overwritten, you
          can restore the file with the Rename if
          Exists option, thus restoring the file with a different extension.

          2. Use CHKDSK to see if the workstation's disk is full.

          3. Close the other application to release the file.

     E5011 - Failed to get host server information, [NetWare error code]

          Problem
         
The ARCserve-created user CHEY_ARCHSVR has been deleted, altered,
          corrupted or has had its password changed.

          Resolution
         
See Recreating the ARCserve Job Queue

     E5012 - Failed to get workstation's drive list
     E5013 - Failed to initiate SPX send to workstation 9cmd=[code number], #
     of bytes)


          Problem
         
The error occurs when trying to view a workstation's hard drive(s)
          thorough the browser in the ARCserve Manager Backup or Restore
          screens.  It indicates that the SPX communication between the
          server and the workstation is not proceeding properly.

          Resolution
         
First, make sure that an agent is properly loaded on the
          workstation to be viewed and that access to the workstation is not
          blocked by a network broadcast message.  If the agent is already
          loaded, load the SPXCONFG.NLM module at the file server console and
          increase the following parameters to their maximum values:

               A.  SPX Watchdog Abort Timeout
               B.  SPX Watchdog Verify Timeout
               C.  SPX Ack Wait Timeout
               D.  SPX Default Retry Count
               E.  Maximum Concurrent SPX Sessions

          Note:  C and D are the most important parameters that need to be
          changed.

     E5018 - Failed to allocate  [number] bytes) for WS Backup

          Problem
         
The host server does not have sufficient memory to spawn the NLMs
          needed to perform the workstation backup.

          Resolution
         
Increase the amount of File Cache Buffers available on the server.
          See Checking File Server Memory Status.

     E5019 - Failed to open file [file name] -[error message][error code]

          Problem
         
ARCserve was unable to back up the specified file for any of the
          following reasons:

          1. The file no longer exists.

          2. The file is in use by another application which has it open in
          exclusive mode, and the file has not been flagged as shareable.

          3. The account being used by ARCserve to access this file does not
          have the proper rights to the volume, directory or file.

          4. The path to the file is incorrect.

          5. The connection with the remote server was broken.

          Resolution
         
1. Make sure the file exists.

          2. Check to see that the file isn't open and locked by someone
          else.  This can be done using the MONITOR utility at the file
          server console.

          3. Flag the file shareable, using the following syntax:  FLAG
          [filename] S.

          4. In the Backup Options screen of the ARCserve Manager, set the
          Open File Method to Deny None if Deny Write Fails and rerun the
          job.

          5. Use FILER to check the effective rights to the specified
          directory or file and change them if necessary.

          6. Make sure the path to the specified file has been entered
          correctly.

          7.  Check that the specified server exists on the network.

               Check the communications path to the server, such as routers,
          bridges, cabling, etc.

               Make sure that the latest versions of the LAN drivers are
          being used on both servers.

               Make sure that the LAN cards are functioning properly.  Try
          replacing the LAN cards and drivers with those from a different
          vendor on both servers.

          Note:  If this sort of problem occurs frequently, it may be
          advisable to run the backup job at a time when there is a lesser
          chance of users accessing files or to activate the Clear User
          Connections Before Job option in the Backup Options screen of the
          ARCserve Manager.

     E5023 - Failed to receive packet from WS, [address] Expecting
     seq.#[number]


          Problem
          This message occurs due to one of the following:

          1. ARCserve has waited for a long time and is unable to receive the
          packet from the workstation.

          2. The network connection may be broken.

          3. The workstation may have been turned off during the backup or
          the agent may have been unloaded from memory.

          Resolution
         
For each of the causes, check the following:

          1. Make sure that the workstation is switched on and that an Agent
          is loaded.

          2. Try running the agent using a 512 byte packet size in one of the
          following ways:

           - From the ARCserve Scheduler configuration screen (at the file
          server console), select Yes for Use 512 byte packet to communicate
          with workstation.

           - Load the agent with an appropriate parameter that will force a
          512 byte packet to be used, such as: DOSAGENT !

          See also Agent Command Line Arguments

          3. Verify the server and the workstation have the same Packet Size
          Limits set.  For example, if the maximum packet size is set to 4k
          on the server and 1k on the workstation then the E5023 error will
          occur.

          Server Parameter: (must be set in STARTUP.NCF, may be viewed from
          the server console by using the SET command and selecting
          Communications)

          SET MAXIMUM PHYSICAL RECEIVE PACKET SIZE=4202
          Default Packet Sizes
          NetWare 3.11=1130
          NetWare 3.12=
          NetWare 4.x=4202

          Workstation parameters:
          In the workstation's NET.CFG file, use the following parameter:

               Link Driver drivername
          MAX FRAME SIZE 4202 (for 3.1x servers)
          or
          MAX FRAME SIZE 4216 (for 4.x servers)

          If the workstation is still using the SHELL.CFG file, use the IPX
          PACKET SIZE LIMIT parameter.

          Note: If one of these parameters is not explicitly set, then a 4k
          default value is used.

          4. Check for a workstation memory conflict involving network
          communications:

           - Using the DOS EMM386.EXE memory manager without specifying the
          UMB parameter in the DOS=HIGH command or can produce this error.

           - Loading memory resident programs into upper memory without
          excluding a memory address range required for a particular network
          interface card may also cause this problem.

     E5027 - Failed to send command [code number] to workstation (# of bytes)
     - [NetWare error code]


          Problem
          The error occurs while trying to back up a workstation.

          Resolution
          Try configuring the agent to use a 512 byte packet size.  Verify
          that any NetWare broadcast messages have been cleared from the
          workstation.

          See also Agent Command Line Arguments

     E5029 - Failed to set [file name]'s information, [error code]

          Problem
         
1. The user does not have appropriate rights to perform this
          function.

          2. The file has been deleted.

          Resolution
         
1. Use SYSCON to make sure that the correct rights have been
          assigned to the file.

          2. Check to see if the file has been deleted.

     E5031 - Failed to terminate SPX connection

          Problem
         
This problem is due to a patch file called SPXDDFIX.NLM having been
          loaded in order to run older versions of McAfee's Netshield
          anti-virus product.  If this patch is not loaded, the server will
          abend with Netshield and ARCserve loaded at the same time.

          Resolution
         
To run properly with ARCserve, Netshield users should upgrade to
          version 1.60 or greater.  This version will not require the use of
          the SPXDDFIX.NLM patch.

     E5035 - Failed to end tape session, [NetWare error code]

          Problem
         
The connection has been broken between the Tape Server and the
          workstation.

          Resolution
         
Check the following:

          1. Make sure that no one has reset the tape drive.

          2. Check the physical connections between workstation and file
          server, and file server and tape drive(s).

     E5039 -  Failed to get free buffer's

          Problem
         
The host servers does not have enough memory.

          Resolution
         
See Checking File Server Memory Status.

     E5040 - Error reading [file name] - [error code] [error message]

          Problem
         
This error message can have several causes:

           - Someone has deleted or changed the file size since the job
          started.
          - The connection with remote server was broken.
          - An application may have part of the file locked (such as a
          database application).

          Resolution
         
For each of these possible causes, try the following:

           - Check for the existence of the file, and if the file has been
          changed.
          - Check the existence of the remote server.
          - Check the physical communications path to the server, such as
          routers, bridges, cabling, etc.
          - Make sure you are using the latest versions of workstation LAN
          drivers.
          - Check your LAN cards.  You might try replacing the LAN cards and
          drivers with those from a different vendor on both servers.
          - Check to see if an application is active and locking part of the
          file.

     E5041 - File [file name] differs from its image on tape

          Problem
         
During the Compare Disk to Tape portion of the backup job, the file
          cited has been detected as having changed.  This can happen for
          several reasons:

          1.  The file has been modified between the time it was backed up
          and the time that the compare operation ran.

          2.  The file's attributes may have been changed between the time
          the file was backed up and the time the compare operation ran.

          3.  The file's Last Access Date may have been changed between the
          time the file was backed up and the time the compare operation ran.

          4.  The file may not have been backed up correctly due either to a
          bad source drive or bad media.

          Resolution
         
If it is conceivable that the file may have been altered by a
          normal process (eg: if a user may have modified the file while the
          backup job was running) then no action is necessary, except perhaps
          to perform another backup in order to save the most recent version
          of the file.  If this is not the case, then perform the following
          steps:

          1.  Try backing up the file again with the compare option.

          2.  See the Tape Drive Troubleshooting Checklist and check for
          media or hardware problems.

          3.  Try running the job again using a different tape (a tape
          recommended by the tape drive's manufacturer should be used).

          4.  Restore the file in question from the tape to a temporary
          directory.  Then, compare the restored copy of the file to the
          original using the DOS COMP command (for DOS v5 and below) or the
          FC command (DOS v5 and above).  If the files are identical, then
          the backups are being performed properly, but there may be a
          problem with the way in which ARCserve is reporting errors.

     E5042 -  Receive time out (Sequence = sequence #)

          Problem 1
          This error occurs due to one of the following causes:

          1. The workstation has been turned off.
          2. The connection is broken.
          3. A network broadcast message is blocking access to the
          workstation.
          4. Some routing problem.

          Resolution
          For each of the causes, check the following:

          1. Has the workstation been shut off?

          2. From the server console screen configuration form, select Yes
          for Use 512 kbyte packet to communicate with WS Agent.  This will
          force ARCserve to use a smaller packet size.

          See also Agent Command Line Arguments

          3. Press CTRL-ENTER or click OK at the workstation to clear any
          network broadcast messages.

          4. Check routers or other hardware problems.

          Problem 2
         
The error message is generated in the ARCserve activity log when
          attempting to backup a Windows NT Workstation with the NTagent.
          The backup never completes.

          Resolution
         
This problem may possibly be caused by a fragmentation problem in
          NWCS (NetWare Workstation Compatible Service, installed on the NT
          machine). To work around this problem, use the NT registry editor
          to change the NWLNKIPX parameters, as follows:

          1. From a Command Prompt under WindowsNT, type REGEDT32 then press
          the ENTER key.  This will bring up the Registry editor.

          2. Focus on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE window inside the editor.  You
          should see several subkeys, including HARDWARE, SAM, etc., under
          HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

          3. Double click on the SYSTEM subkey under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key.

          4. Double click on the CurrentControlSet subkey under SYSTEM.

          5. Double click on the SERVICES subkey under CurrentControlSet.

          6. Double click on the NWLINKIPX subkey under SERVICES.

          7. Double click on the PARAMETERS subkey under NWLINKIPX.

          8. With the PARAMETERS key highlighted, select Add Value under the
          Edit pull down menu.  Type in RouterMtu in the Value Name field.
          Select REG_DWORD in the Data Type selection.  Click on OK.

          9. A DWORD Editor should pop-up.  From the RADIX group, select the
          decimal button.  Then type 2000 in the Data Entry field.  Click OK.

          10. You can verify these values on the right-hand side of the
          window.  Select Close under the Registry pull down menu to close
          the editor.

          11. These updates will take effect after a REBOOT.

     E5043 - Unknown command [command number] received from workstation

          Problem
          Command number is incorrect.

          Resolution
          Check to confirm that the version of the Agent that is currently
          running is the correct one for that version of ARCserve.

     E5044 - Job is canceled by WS, - Check workstation disk space

          Problem
          1. The Agent cancelled this job.

          2. This error will occur if the user attempts to restore data that
          was originally backed up using the NTagent with the DOS, WIN or
          OS/2 agents.  The problem exists because the ARCserve WSTAPE module
          does not have the ability to translate the data format that the
          NTagent uses into the format that the other agents currently use.

          Resolution
          1. Have user update to ARCserve 5.01e.

          2.  The job may have been canceled because the destination drive is
          full.

          3. All data backed up with the NTagent should be restored with the
          NTagent.  The ability to translate these data formats will be added
          to a later revision of WSTAPE.

     E5048 - Failed to open file [file name] for comparison

          Problem
         
The file may be locked or may have been deleted since the backup
          was done.

          Resolution
         
If the file is locked by another application, close that
          application and submit another compare job.

     E5049 - Access rejected by workstation - Invalid password

          Problem
         
Error occurs when trying to backup a workstation that has the
          agent's password protection feature enabled.

          Resolution
         
The wrong password was entered when submitting a workstation backup
          job.  This is the password specified when loading DOSagent or
          WINagent.  Resubmit the job using the correct password.

     E5050 - Invalid file header, signature:[signature]

          Problem
         
Tape is not of compatible format.

          Resolution
         
Try running an attended job instead of an unattended one.  If the
          problem persists, see Tape Drive Troubleshooting Checklist.

     E5051 - Workstation has too many levels

          Problem
          1. There are more nested directory levels on a workstation drive
          than ARCserve can process.

          2. The DOS File Allocation Table may be corrupt.

          Resolution
          1. Try to use the Attended Backup mode by submitting the job to the
          Local Machine, rather than the ARCserve server.

          2. Verify and repair the DOS FAT table error by using the DOS
          CHKDSK /F command or a third party disk maintenance utility.

     E5052 - Failed to resume job, [error desc]

          Problem
         
Refer to the error description for more information about the exact
          error that occurred.

          Resolution
          This is usually due to some media or hardware error.

          See Tape Drive Troubleshooting Checklist.

     E5053 - Failed to write session header to tape

          Problem
         
This error message is usually due to a media or hardware error

          Resolution
         
See Tape Drive Troubleshooting Checklist.

     E5055 - Source directory [directory name] does not have ':' or '/'

          Problem
         
The job may have been corrupted.

          Resolution
         
Try resubmitting the job.  If the problem persists, see Recreating
          the ARCserve Job Queue.

     E5058 - Failed to rename file [file name]

          Problem
         
ARCserve could not write the file being restored to the workstation
          drive, because it could not rename the file it was replacing.

          Resolution
          1. Move, rename or delete the file to be replaced on the
          destination drive and resubmit the job.

               or

          2. Instead of using the Rename File option, in the Conflict
          Resolution configuration area of the ARCserve Manager Restore
          window, choose to restore the file to another directory, and
          resubmit the job.
