Problem



RPC errors Event ID: 1049 appear on RSA and RMS Server, together with "Internal error: Unable to create file" Event ID: 1048 errors on RMS server. This may also be seen with "Mapping Conflict" Event ID: 1060.

Error



Event ID 1049: Job 'jobname' on pair 'pair_name' is disconnected. Cancelling the job on this pair. : No RPC binding has been established

Solution



The combination of the errors reported by VERITAS Storage Replicator Event Id's: 1049 (Figure 1), 1048 (Figure 2) and 1060 (Figure 3) are caused when the path name of files replicated to a target directory exceed 260 characters in length. The limit set by Windows NT/2000 for any path name is 260 characters. VERITAS Storage Replicator is not able to work beyond these limits.

To avoid this problem, reduce the length of the paths which contain files that are to be replicated. Even if the length of the path name on the source is less than 259 characters, the length may increase when added to the appropriate "replica" directory on the target.
