Netbackups failing with error code 24 on linux clients
we are using net backup.
till many days it was very much successful, but from 2 days the backups are failing with error code 24.
socket write failed.
can any one sugguest on the issue, what to do and how to resolve the issue.
Socket write failed could be anything fom the back of the server to the client / or OS TCP settings.
The one thing it won't be is NBU.
If it was working, find out what has changed, this can be settings in the OS / settings on network switches or a fault, ave any patches been applied to the media server ?
There are virtually no network setting in NBU, because we only make use of what we are given, yes, n/ work issues will make NBU fail, but NBU is only the casualty, not the cause.
There are some t/outs, eg. client connect but these should really be used to troubleshoot, eg. does it work if the value is increased, but not treated as a fix, as they only mask the problem.
You need to consider if any clients work, when the backup fails (does it fail at different points, network load, try running a single job, does that work, or perhaps run for longer.
