Many Jobs delayed "granting resources" and "connecting"

We've recently upgraded from 6.5.3 to 6.5.4 and we've added an additional Media Server into the environment (all Solaris based).  We are experiencing significant delays in starting jobs - Unix, Windows, SQL and Oracle/RMAN - and writing to disk or tape.  The example below is typical: 12 minute delay in granting resources and 15 minute delay is connecting.  With the prior version, these times were in seconds.  We've restarted our entire environment to no avail.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • You'd probably be better off applying 6.5.5, because you can get the nbrb EEB for 6.5.5 via a TechFile:

    DOCUMENTATION: Issues resolved in the nbrb package for NetBackup Resource Broker, included in Etrack 1924099.
     http://support.veritas.com/docs/346920

    The 6.5.4 bundle is still only available through a support case.  (I think we're only at version 5, by the way - I haven't seen a version 6)
