NetBackup 7.7.2 policy scheduler losing changes in new Remote Console
I recently upgraded my environment (master server running RedHat 6.4, media servers running CentOS 6.4 and NetApp Filers 8.2.1) from 7.6.0.4 to 7.7.2. I am trying to make changes to policy schedules thru the Remote Administration Console and once the changes are saved and I refresh the Policy panel the changes are reverted back to the original settings. The policy starts with a schedule of running Sundays from 00:00 - 07:00. If I duplicate the schedule for the rest of the week or if I add each week individually upons saving the Policy and refreshing the only entry is for Sunday. If I use bpshedrep and modify the schedule the changes are kept.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
I worked with Veritas Support and we narrowed down the problem to be schedules that are using the calendar type not frequency type. There is an EEB to fix this. The EEB contains a jar file. It is # 3869203. The fix will install on the master server only and you will need to get a different version of the EEB for your local desktop (use the -extractonly option and then copy the file), The next release is supposed to include this fix.
The EEB 3869203 code is included in NBU 8.0 / (3.0 for Appliance). I checked this on the internal 'EEB' audit system that reports which NBU versions an EEB is included in.
Therefore, I can only recommend to log a new call and allow investigation to continue.
Either something else has 'broken' the 'EEB' or a new issue has occurred that has the same symptoms, but not the same cause.
