Oracle Archive_log backup job failing Error 6

It could be a timeout, but impossible to say without more information. Please post the job details

As always when troubleshooting database backup create the bphdb and dbclient log folders to get more information

Hey Michael,

Please find the dbclient log folder attached , Please let me know where i will be able to find bphdb ?

Thanks,

Nayab

Network problems (configuration not hardware).

Verify hostname lookup. Make sure your client and server can communicate bi-directionally.

If the bphdb folder does not exist you have to create it under netbackup/logs on the client

Can see from dbclient log, that there seems to be a connection issue

What does bptestbpcd -client bsswmppp1 -debug from the master and media server show ?

Also what does bpclntcmd -pn & bpclntcmd -self on client show ?

@nayabsk : i think this is root of problem.

System name:    Linux

please confirm above info. and do share ur script as well along with bpclntcmd output.

@rookie , Please find the bpclntcmd output and backup script attached in btwn i see few Archivelog job are successful but few are failing , Its strange 

ZSSWMPPP1 is Clusterd with ZSSWMPPP2 and bsswmppp1 ,  bsswmppp2 were the hostnames through which the NBU communicates these hosts ( THE BACKUP LAN )

@Michael Please note that my CLIENT ITSELF acts as MEDIA SERVER and backups up self.

Please find the outputs attached as requested and can refer to the bpclntcmd in my reply to rookie :)

Hi All,

Now my backups are failing with error 11 system call failed ?

11  system call failed                      bsswmppp_sp25_oracle_daily            bsswmppp1
  11  system call failed                      bsswmppp_sp27_oracle_daily            bsswmppp2

Thanks,

Nayab

Have you changed anything ?

Which process is failing ?

I made entries in this location in my MASTER server and made this entry for my DB servers MPPP1 and MPPP2  as below

zsswmasb2:/usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames

echo  echo "bsswmppp1" >> bsswmppp1.aaa.corp

Apart from this i havent chnaged anything
