Hi, Newbie here, so apologies for any errors in formatting or etiquette. We have a Netbackup installation running v5.1MP6 on HP-UX. Yes, it's old, yes we'd like to retire it or upgrade. It seems ...

hi etmsreec
Put VERBOSE = 5 in bp.conf and restart Netbackup. This will increase the debugging level of bpsched and maybe explain why a previous bpsched is still examine the NBU policies.
Check for :
- any zombie processes
- use /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bp.kill_all to stop all Netbackup processes and check with bpps -a they are ALL gone. Kill -9 on the NBU process that doesn't die.
- host names with non ASCII names or hostnames with a extra dot e.g srv1.acme. <-- dot in the end of host name.
Hi etmsreec
In addition to the suggestions from Nicolai have a look for stale lock files.
These will most likely be in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bin directory and for bpsched the lock file may be bpsched.lock or bpsched.lck. Shutdown NetBackup before removing any lock files.
The final step would be to reboot the server to ensure there are no zombie processes etc. as per Nicolai .
Cheers
Davidbpsched.lock or bpsched.lck - good memory davidmoline
I had a faint memory of lock files, but time had erased the name of the files in my memory :)
