More info please...
Are all VM backups failing using this media server? Or just this one VM?
Or only when media server is heavily loaded?
Can you monitor resources on media server nrecnetbk120 during backup period?
Are backups going through for other VM hosts?
Or using another media server?
Please ensure that all of these log folders exists on backup hosts/ media server nrecnetbk120:
bpbrm bpbrm bpbkar
Hi Marianne
its only few VM's are failing using this media server, we do have only 1 media server for VMDK backups.
all log folders are exists.
do you we need to monitor resources on clinet or media server ?
The Media server.
Since the media server is the VMware backup host, it is performing both the function of media server (bptm and bpbrm) and the client (bpbkar).
This is the NBU explanation of status 10:
Explanation: The system memory allocation fails because of insufficient system memory available. A possible cause is that the system is overloaded with too many processes and not enough physical or virtual memory.
Recommended action: Free up memory by terminating any unneeded processes that consume memory. Add more swap space or physical memory.Please also read the following chapter in NetBackup Backup Planning and Performance Tuning Guide : Chapter 11 OS-related tuning factors for Windows
Hi Marriane
(bptm and bpbrm) and the client (bpbkar) logs already exists and server config is as below.
do you think we can schedule backups to different times to monitor or is there any settings that i need to change?
Windows 2012
128GB Ram
98GB swap
