Its not a bug, its how it works.

 

If you mistaken use set instead of modify, then you have to specify all the options / attributes or they will be reset to default. Modify it to be used if you want to perform a change of only 1 setting.

 

  • -set initializes or reinitializes policy attributes to their default values, except for those attributes that are specified on the current command line.

  • -modify modifies the policy attributes specified on the current command line. The rest of the policy attributes not on the current command line remain unchanged.

really strange...

are you sure it really due to reboot?

what is the netbackup version .. and OS version?

does it have nbauditreprot enabled..

if yes....run the command nbauditreport and see if it lists any info..

though its lists user name as root, it will list the time and what has been modified.. may be that will give some idea...

if it has some info you can compare with reboot times and all and see if its really related...

I've seen that happen if you run bpplinfo -set instead of my -update if you're trying to modify policies.  For instance for deactivating the policies during a maintenance pack installation one would want to have a script that is going to deacitvate the policies, and then another to re-activate them later. When using the bpplinfo command you should use -modify to make changes, -set would revert the policy back to STANDARD, and also reset all other options to defaults.

Hey Ram,

yes because there was a maintenance last friday midnight and all our Archive Backup which are scheduled to run between 6AM to 4:30PM failed and when i checked all the DB poliies changed to STANDARD instead of ORACLE. So the only even occured before this is reboot of MASTER SERVER , I dont know if NBUAUDIT was enabled, Can guide me how to check it ? or location to run ?

NBU Version:-  6.5.4

O.S Version :-   SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (x86_64)

VERSION = 9
PATCHLEVEL = 3

 

Thanks,
