Hot Catalog backup hangs

New backup environment.  Backups and restores are running fine.

Hot catalog backups kick off, 1 parent and 3 child jobs.  The 3 child jobs finish with status 0, but the parent will run for days and not complete.  The catalog is tiny.

 

This is a Master running AIX 5.3 ML8

 

  • I went through and confirmed everything again.  We are running 6.5.2A. 

    Here is the end of my bpdbm log and it looks good too. But the Parent process (3163) does not complete........

  • to gott backup

     

    I am on AIX 5.3.6

     

    and

     

    Netbckup 6.5.2a and my hotcatalog backups work fine.  ( but I did not have issues with them at 6.5.0 either)

     

  • Here's the fix...

     

    NetBackup 6.x fails on AIX running downrev versions of the C++ runtime libraries. Updated libraries from IBM are required. http://support.veritas.com/docs/292450  

    Run this and check for   9.0.0.1  version.lslpp -l | grep xlC

     

     

  • Interesting... How were you tipped off to this article? Symantec? And this fixes your hot backup issue?
  • I had to open a case.  And yes it did fixed the issue.  I forgot to look at errpt -a.  I had a core dump for bpbrm every time I ran a Hot-Catalog backup.  :)
  • Did anyone happen to see a more than normal amount of status code 84 and 85's before upgrading the c++ libraries on AIX backup jobs?
