Query for number of policies and jobs
One quick query that How many Policies one can create on a server in Netbackup
One of our backup server does backups of 2 non-GEO testlab OSS:es.
There are about 31 policies and about 600 jobs in activity monitor .
We faced an issue where Java heap space of Netbackup GUI goes out of space and could not monitor the jobs status.
Maximum Availabe Memory is set as 512MB in file /usr/openv/java/nbj.conf
# cd /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/user_ops/nbjlogs
bash-3.2# grep -i memory *
jbp.root.jnbSA.17612.log: FROM[29]: MEGABYTES_OF_MEMORY = 0
jbp.root.jnbSA.22967.log:Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
jbp.root.jnbSA.22967.log:Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
Excerpts from Symantec netbackup Guide :à
Will increasing this value to 1 GB help?
Netbackup does not have a upper limit on the number of policies - how ever a very large number indicate a lack of design :-)
I don't think 31 polices in any way can be considered many.
You can adjust the Java memory heap , take a look at these tech notes:
