Hi

I have a Solaris 8 box that is mirrored using Solstice Disk Suite which
we backup every night. With this type of scenario we have to break the
mirror, do the backup and then re-attach the mirror again .....we do
this on multiple boxes with no problems, however with this box we get
this strange error at the end

d30: submirror d32 is offlined
  DUMP: Writing 63 Kilobyte records
  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Fri Apr 20 06:45:02 2007
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch

/data1: Deadlock situation detected/avoided email_alert

Sun say that " This error usually relates to file and record locking,
but can also apply to mutexes, semaphores, condition variables, and
read/write locks."

However this doesn't really help identify what file is deadlocking or
causing the problem, has anybody experienced this type of thing before
?, it doesn't actually seem to be causing any problems with the
operation of the machine, but for all the boxes we backup like this,
this is the only one that gives me this error

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Gary
