I/O Error

vijayanand — Thu, 05 Sep 2019 06:36:21 GMT

Hi,

We have recently migrated the sas applications from AIX to Linux platform. In the AIX server, there was a Windows Shared rive mounted on the server. The same shared drive was mounted in the new Linux server.

Now some of the sas programs which write create sas datasets in the shared location are failing with I/O errors. This was not the case when the shared rive was mounted in the AIX server.

ERROR: An I/O error has occurred on file MASTER.table1.DATA.
ERROR: File MASTER.table1.DATA is damaged. I/O processing did not complete.

ERROR: An I/O error has occurred on file OUTSQL.table2.DATA.

One possible reason fr this error is lack of storage space. However, the windows shared rive has enough space. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Vijay.

Did it ever work in the new environment? Does it always fail? If not: Does it also fail for very small tables? Is there anything else in the SAS log that could tell us something?

Yes Patrick.

It did work some times and failed some times.

The log has no additional information than what was shared.

Thanks.

Every user has a quota for disk storage , Talk to your AIX Admin if it has such kind of limitation .
