INF OTHER - EXIT STATUS = 27
EXIT STATUS = 27

it seems to dump all the files...  but this  "EXIT STATUS" pops up
in the middle of the log file..

Any Idea's?

I need to update this client by tomorrow


Thanks...

    from the Install Guide:

    As a root user on the NetBackup master server, enter the following command to see whether bprd is running: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps

    If bprd is running, terminate it with the following command:
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bprdreq -terminate

    Enter the following command to make sure that backups or restores are not in progress:
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpdbjobs

    Update UNIX client software by running the update_clients script

    After all servers and clients are updated, enter the following command as the root user on the master server to start the bprd daemon:
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/initbprd

    Are we trying to write to an NFS mount which isn't normally read-only, but IS mounted read-only for some reason?

    Did /tmp or /usr hit 100% during the initial untarring?

    These things are really tricky to diagnose, but if you still have the scripts copied onto the client you can change the first line of the client script we call (name escapes me unfortunately) from "#!/bin/sh" to "#!/bin/sh -x" and usually that'll be enough debug output to clue you in to what's really going on.

    Usually incomplete installs leave some cruft lying around that you'll have to delete first - look for "new" directories in /tmp.  (I think it's called "updating_client" or something equally original and obvious :) )

    "netbackup stop" isn't really used for clients as there should be no daemons running.  Also, it may not even be ON the client.  :)

    I had a similar problem and had to clear out about 500MB of free space in the /tmp. Then it installed.
