An email is sent
from the
BlackPearl system
indicating that the
cache is full
The BlackPearl cache can become full for several reasons:
• For PUT jobs, one or more data repositories (tape library, disk partition) is
offline, or does not have sufficient space to write all the data currently in
the cache. Data will sit in the cache until the problem is corrected.
Check to make sure the data path backend is activated.

In the BlackPearl user interface, select
Configuration > Services
. The
Services screen displays.
2.
Select the S3 service, and select
Action > Show Details

On the service detail screen, ensure the status of
Data Path Backend
Activated
is
Yes
. If the data path is not enabled, select

Check to make sure that no tape libraries are in standby state.
