OCUM 7.2P1 Backup Failing - Error occurred while copying files inside temporary directory

Chris_Jones — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 14:24:05 GMT

I have a freshly deployed OCUM 7.2P1 Virtual Appliance. The database backups are enabled and backing up to the default location, /data/ocum-backup/

In the OCUM events I see this event every day:

Daily database backup 'UM_7.2P1_backup_unix_11-07-2017-18-00.7z' creation failed. Reason: Copying a file or directory is failed due to a file system error.

I enabled the diag user and had a look at the /var/log/ocum/ocum-error.log and it has these entries at 6pm every day:

2017-11-06 18:00:15,309 ERROR [oncommand] [taskScheduler-3] [Backup|ScheduleBackup] [c.n.d.impl.backup.BackupProperties] Error occurred while copying files inside temporary directory in Backup path
2017-11-06 18:00:15,405 ERROR [oncommand] [taskScheduler-3] [Backup|ScheduleBackup] [c.n.d.impl.backup.BackupScheduleJob] Error while creating the backup

I read this NetApp KB, https://kb.netapp.com/support/s/article/internal-um-database-backup-errors, that mentions the permissions on the file:

/opt/netapp/essentials/rp/security/proxy.server.p12

I've checked my virtual appliance at the /opt/netapp/essentials/rp/security folder is empty.

Any thoughts on what else I can check?

Thanks,

Chris

I've also checked the OCUM debugs and I see this every day:

Hi Chris

Go into the diag console mode.

Check the permissions on the file:

ls -al /data/ocie/server.keystore

and change it:

chown jboss:root /data/ocie/server.keystore

I hope this helps as I had the same error in a customer environment..

Kind regards

Dario

Hi Dario,

Thanks for the reply, good to know it's not just me 🙂

I tried changing ownership of the file but got this error:

diag@svr-ocum:/data/ocie$ chown jboss:root /data/ocie/server.keystore
chown: changing ownership of `/data/ocie/server.keystore': Operation not permitted

I had to run this command:

sudo chown jboss:root /data/ocie/server.keystore

I changed the database backup schedule to run in a couple of minutes and it succeeded. Thank you so much for this, really appreciated.

I am deploying OCUM 7.2P1 at a customer site early next week and am happy I was able to resolve this before being onsite.

Thanks for this!

Chris

Hi Chris

You're welcome. 😃

Sure I always do a

sudo su -

at the beginning so I forgot to tell you that.

Good to hear that it worked.

Cheers
