Can anyone explain me how to restart the netbackup client services in Solaris server?
That depends..
It's correct if the Solaris is installed with Netbackup master or media server software.
But if it's just a Netbackup client, use
to stop
# bpcd -trminate
# vnetd -terminate
to start
# bpcd -standalone
# vnetd -standalone

Well I took the above from the NBU Install Unix pdf - and its related to master/media/client as there is no distinguish in between installation types. Take a look
I would tried with with this command:
/etc/init.d/netbackup stop
/etc/init.d/netbackup start

Hi nagavp,
I generaly use the follow command:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/bp.kill_all
This command will stop all Netbackup services.
To start use:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup start
Hi Quebek & Thiago,
I think your are explaining about restarting media server services. What i am expecting is on client..
Hi Watsons,
Do we have to navigate to any path to execute this cmd or we can simply run the cmd?
bpcd & vnetd are both under /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/
I tend to use
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup stop
and
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup start
I prefer this command to just stopping demons, just incase there is anything else going on on the client like it's acting as a BMR boot server (which clients can now do), it's running suthentication, or FT client things.
If after doing this 'graceful' stop there are still processes hanging around (seen with /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps) I then use bp.kill_all
I hope that helps!
