Hi All,

This is one of the problem I had faced on NetBackup 6.5.3. Problem is mentioned below

Problem -
schedule jobs are not running automatically, manual is working fine

Solution
This problem is due to scheduler file problem. We have to recreate the scheduler file in order to resolve this problem. Below listed are the steps for the same.

To recreate the scheduler file-
  1. Stop and kill all NetBackup processes
  2. Remove temp workspace directory and files
    a) rm -r /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpsched.d
    b) rm -r /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bprd.d
    c) rm -f /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/pempersist (may be listed as pempersist2..)
    d) rm -f /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/restart/* (remove all files in restart directory)
  3. Restart NetBackup processes
  4. Clear resource broker
    a) /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbrbutil –resetAll
    b) /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbrbutil -releaseAllocHolds

Calender based backups -

Calendar based backups are meant to run on the day they are scheduled. If a job is scheduled to run on a particular day, the job will start on the earliest possible time based on the Start Window for that day. In the example you gave, the Start Window starts at 20:00 and goes to 23:59:59 that same day. The next day’s Start Window starts at 00:00:00 (midnight) up to 06:00:00. If both days are selected, the first day should start at 20:00:00 and the next day should start at midnight because these are the earliest times the Start Window opens for that day.

If the intention is for the jobs to start at 20:00:00 each day, the Start Window for each day should be from 20:00:00 to 23:59:59. This way the earliest time the Start Window opens is at 20:00:00 and the job should go active at that time.

We have a  similar problem  on one of our netbackup master server " Backups not running through scheduler"  after upgrading to  NB5.1MP6/Solaris 9.  Currently we are running  backups manually.

Can we run above steps on NB5.1/MP6 too?   Please advise with appropriate steps. 

Appreciate your  immediate help on this issue.

Thanks  in advance.
