Issue with REstore job not getting cancel

We have been doing lot of Testing for last 1 month and I wanted to discuss issue with Restore job which will not get cancel and would stuck for long time

I am using NBU 6.5

when trying to cancel Restore job it will stay there for ever

I have tried bpdbjobs -cancel jobid -No luck

If it Restart all NBU Service it will cancel restore job however i don't want to do that as it will also cancel my active jobs.

Is there any other suggested like killing any specific Restore process on Master Server can terminate REstore.

I have Restart NBU Client Services on target Restore server as with no luck.

Please advise.

Regards,

  •  When i boot from .ISO image or PXE BOOT Sucessfully established restore enviroment  pass successfully but when partioning DIsks come it gives me an error Failed to Verify Backup --rc(131)

  • Check in bpbrm logs in media server and also nbpem logs in master server if it is throwing any error

  • Kindly let us know which NBU version you are using ?? OS ?

    6.5.?

    RUN --> <installed path>/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbrbutil -dump

  • When canceling a job, sometimes it will not cancel until it finishes a 'step' it is in.

    If it was in the process of writing a file to disk, when it finish with that file it will cancel - this can be quick.

    if it is in the process of forwarding through a tape looking for the image, it might not cancel until it finds that image, then before it starts the next step it would cancel.  ( I have seen some stop quickly and some take a while).

  • If the Device Monitor shows the job is waiting for a tape, right-click it and "Deny the Mount Request".  I've had this cause restore jobs to appear to hang.
