I'm try restore master database from networker backup software. but always can't success.
The ASE version is 15.7. The Networker version is 8.2.
I remember original master device size approx 40MB~70MB, master database size 20M~40M. I don't kown actualy size of original master database and master device, but I've recently master's backup set.
1.I recreate master device "master.dat".
dataserver -s SERVER2_SAP -d /opt/sybase/data/master.dat -b 100M -w master -f
2.Copy RUN_SERVER2_SAP to new name m_RUN_SERVER2_SAP, and changed m_RUN_SERVER2_SAP file, add -m option.
3.start server in single user mode.
startserver -f /opt/sysbase/ASE-15_0/install/m_RUN_SERVER2_SAP
4. extention master database size.
alter database master on master='50M'
No matter how much master device, the size of the master database is always cannot be changed.
The error message always same:CREATE or ALTER DATABASE failed because the device 'master' has no space available either for log or for data.
5. Ignore the error and continue the restore opeartion
update sysservers set srvnetname="SERVER1_BS" where srvname="SYB_BACKUP"
startserver -f /opt/sybase/ASE-15_0/install/RUN_SERVER1_BS
6. excute restore command
nsrsybrc -Usa -s win-client SYBASE:/SERVER2_SAP/master
This command like as load master from "xxxxxx" .
[sybase@server2 data]$ nsrsybrc -Usa -s win-client SYBASE:/SERVER2_SAP/master
