Backup Exec 2012 active job
Hi,
I have upgraded two dseperate sites to BE 2012 SP1a and i am getting the same problem on both sites.
Both sites are CASO environments with SP1a, one with fast LAN links and one with slow WAN links.
Every few days or so, one of the managed backup servers will show a job as active with a status of queued with 0 bytes backed up. The job will just stay queued and nothing will run. If i cancel the job it will either, cancel but leave the storage showing as active (even though there are no jobs shown as running by GUI or powershell) or the job just never cancels.
Only fix is a restart of the managed server and even this doesn't work sometimes and requires several reboots as the storage will show as active.
Keep getting this and it happens to different servers with different storage. Generally when it happens the managed backup server cannot use any of its storage, e.g. if a disk backup is stuck in the queued state, and a tape backup tries to run it will also say queued.
when the jobs do run everything is ok for a few days and then one of the servers will do the same.
Anyone else getting this or have any idea how to clear the errors without multiple boots. 2012 is proving to be very unreliable
You'd have to open that job to see. However, remove the server with the problem from the CASO for now and give it a couple of days to see if this problem replicates itself. If it does, then it isn't a CASO/MMS issue, and rather lies with BE on the local site itself.
I take it that all your servers are on the same patch level?
THanks!
