Spoold.exe continuously hangs

Hello all,

I am running NetBackup 7.5 using a clustered master and 3 media servers. One media server has a MSDP dedup volume that was running perfectly until last week. Spoold.exe continues to hang and holds all available memory resources. All backups on that volume get error status 84.

Critical bptm(pid=8072) image open failed: error 2060001: one or more invalid arguments Info bpbkar32(pid=23412) change journal NOT enabled for <E:\ProgramFiles\HP\ConnectlT9.30en>

Info bptm(pid=8072) EXITING with status 84

We are running on a Windows Server 2008R2 OS.

Any ideas?

  • All looked normal in the logs. I did go ahead and apply the patch to version 7.5.0.7 and the volume is now working. I will need to upgrade the RAM because it is commiting the majority of my RAM to spoold.exe even when there is no activity or jobs running.

    Thanks for all the help everyone!!!

    please post all detail status for the failed job and also attach the storaged.log from the MSDP

    Critical bptm(pid=9044) image open failed: error 2060001: one or more invalid arguments

    info bptm(pid=9044) EXITING with status 84

    end writing

    media write error(84)

     

    The system is not internet connected so I cannot attach the log, but I can search for something in the storaged.log if you let me know what to look for. Sorry if this makes it more difficult.

  • Hello,

     

    You didn't mention your maintenance pack level.

     

    Might be this issue http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH199067

     

    Check the logs as per the note.

  • So I checked the bptm.log and everything looks good until it gets to this line

    bp_sts_open_image: STH set to STS_SA_IMAGE
