Need assistance on NetBackup 5.1
Hi All,
We are having NetBackup Master server running @5.1. Issue is when there are no active jobs in netbackup or server is idle for some time the next scheduled jobs are not starting immediately and taking more than 2 - 3 hours to update the job in activity monitor and to start writing the data it is taking more than 4 - 5 hours.
But when there are jobs running and if we start any backup jobs those are appearing immediately in activity monitor and backups are getting successful
Backup services are working fine and cannot identify any errors in logs
Below are the services running
NB Processes
------------
root 2178 1 0 Apr 06 ? 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdbdmon --user=root
root 2190 2178 0 Apr 06 ? 0:00 /usr/openv/db/bin/nbdbd --basedir=/usr/openv/db --datadir=/usr/openv/db/var --p
root 11214 4581 0 12:01:10 ? 0:00 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpsched -mainempty
root 1840 1 0 Apr 06 ? 129:34 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm

root 2007 1840 0 Apr 06 ? 23:41 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpjobd
I know this is very very old version, but any suggestions or help is really appreciated.
- There is no nbdecommission for 5.1!
Config is all over the place before 6.x.
Master server has
Images
globdb
voldb
STUs
Each media server has own
mediadb
Device dbs.
So, when media server was removed without proper manual decommission, everything becomes a mess.
STUs are easy to delete.
To delete devices from globdb is a mess. Actually easier to delete or rename the file and recreate all device config.
Mediadb is the big problem. The 5.1 bpmedia command need source media server in order to transfer media ownership. User can try bpimage, but mediadb entries will still be missing and tapes cannot be correctly deassigned.
There were TNs back in the day, but have been removed. All references on Veritas is for post-6.x.
This is why it was so important to run nbcc when upgrading from 5.1.
Veritas/Symantec engineer would provide scrips to forge mediadb entries and all sorts of fixes before upgrade could be attempted.
I don't want to be in RK1982's shoes!
