K8s protection plan retries backup from snapshot
Hello,is there a way to configure the number and the frequency of the backup from snapshot retries after a snapshot of a k8s asset has been successfully completed?
We've completed successfully the backup of a namespace of a cluster using a weekly protection plan but when the system tries to backup the snapshot it fails and we're investigating the issue. In the meantime the domain tries constantly to repeat the task and the activity monitor is full of error.
Is there a way to cancel/suspend the task, or configure a bigger interval between two tries of the task?
Domain in in release 10.4.0.1.
Thank you, regards,
By default, NetBackup tries to run the SLPs every 5 minutes for 3 times. After the third attempt, it tries every 2 hours.
You can change this behavior from the SLP Parameters in the Primary Server Properties.
Check the "Extended Image Retry Interval".But I do not recommend that. The best way to deal with this is to deactivate the SLP secondary operations from the GUI or the command line. This will stop temporarily all copies. Old and new
- stop SLP secondary operations entirely
nbstlutil inactive -lifecycle <SLP_NAME> - stop secondary operation for a specific backup/snapshot
nbstlutil inactive -backupid <backupid>
To reactivate use active instead of inactiveOr, you can cancel the secondary operations for already taken snapshots. (The snapshots will be deleted if the retention period has passed.)
- Cancel SLP secondary operations for all backup/snapshots
nbstlutil cancel -lifecycle <SLP_NAME> - Cancel secondary operation for a specific backup/snapshot
nbstlutil cancel -backupid <backupid>
- stop SLP secondary operations entirely
