Backup Failed with status 13 for windows 2000 client

[Venu_S1]

Hi Folks,

I am using netbackup 6.5.6 environment.

Backup failed with status 13 for windows 2000 client, both full/incremental failed with multistreaming and without multistreaming.

Backup slection is all local drives and the drives are C, D E all streams are failing with status 13.

Please suggest me the possible ways to reolve the problem

thanks in advance.

[Marianne]

Two important facts before we troubleshoot status 13:

1. Windows 2000 is no longer supported by Microsoft
2. NBU 6,x is no longer supported by Symantec.

Let us look status 13:

>bperror -S 13 -r

file read failed

A read of a file or socket failed.

So, we see status 13 is either file/filesystem error or a network problem.

Step 1 in troubleshooting this error is to determine if this is file or network error.

The information in Details tab of the failed job is normally enough to make this distinction.

Please post all text in Details tab and let us take it from there.

Did backup jobs writing any data before reporting error and failing?

 what is the connect timeout and read time out vaules? did you try increasing that?

if you got after even after increasing the timeout vaule

along with detail status, post bpbkar  and bpcd logs from Client and bpbrm and bptm logs from media server.

@Nagalla,

Backup is not writiing any data on any stream

time out value on client is 400 sec

from master server GUI,

Client read timed out 300sec

file browse timed out 400 sec

i have increased the client time out value 300sec to 400 sec but there is no use.

thanks.

[Marianne]

Error bpbrm (pid=30640) socket read failed: errno = 62 - Timer expired

This is Client Read timeout. See: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH71821

Increase to about 1800 on the media server.

Aging Client is probably suffering from bad fragmentation, overloaded, out-of-date NIC drivers and/or firmware, etc...

[Venu_S1]

Hi Marianne,

I have the below values on media server alreday.

client connect timeout : 12000 sec

client read time out :20800 sec

[Venu_S1]

Backup is in active state around 10 hrs with out writing any data and after that it failed with above error.

Backup getting failed since long back and 1 month before we have rebooted the client and un installed and installed the NBU client software.

But still the probelm is same.

[RamNagalla]

hi,

try to make the backup of just  small file or Directory, and see how it goes...

[Marianne]

Please also have another look at last line in my previous post:

Aging Client is probably suffering from bad fragmentation, overloaded, out-of-date NIC drivers and/or firmware, etc...

Get your server owners to perform health check on this machine. Best option will be to migrate to newer hardware and supported OS.

Do you have bpbkar log as per Nagalla's request above?

Please also test client's ability to read data from disk. See: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH17541

[Mark_Solutions]

Doesnt sound like the backup ever got going at all

Check the clients application and system event logs for error and usually more importantly in these for free disk space, especially on the system drive.

It can sometimes help to add that client to the Master Servers client attributes tab then for the open file backups section get it to use VSP - selecting individual drive snapshots and Disable snapshot and continue

Then open the clients host properties - Windows client section - VSP tab and select to customise the cache file - min 120MB, max 500 MB and see if that helps

But look for errors, disk space issues and even hung bpbkar32 / bpfis errors first on the client

But communication is working fine from both ends

[Marianne]

We see bpbkar starting, but never getting to read actual data.

please suggest further 

We already have.

Please see Mark's post:

It can sometimes help to add that client to the Master Servers client attributes tab then for the open file backups section get it to use VSP - selecting individual drive snapshots and Disable snapshot and continue

Then open the clients host properties - Windows client section - VSP tab and select to customise the cache file - min 120MB, max 500 MB and see if that helps

.... look for errors, disk space issues and even hung bpbkar32 / bpfis errors first on the client 

Have you done this? Have you checked Task Manager on the client?

Please see my post:

Aging Client is probably suffering from bad fragmentation, overloaded, out-of-date NIC drivers and/or firmware, etc...

Get your server owners to perform health check on this machine. Best option will be to migrate to newer hardware and supported OS.
Please also test client's ability to read data from disk. See: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH17541

One more suggestion:

Try to disable WOFB in Master server Client Attributes.

PS: If you decide to try bpbkar32 test as per TECH17541, FIRST check Task Manager for hanging bpbkar and/or bpfis processes and end processes if they exist. once done, please copy bpbkar log to bpbkar.txt and post as File attachment.

Hi Marianne/Mark,

I tried with all the options you suggested but there is no change.

I have reverted the setiings to original and ran the below command 3times each as suggested by Marianne

and attahced the bpbkar log here

bpbkar32 -nocont D:\ 1> nul 2> nul

bpbkar32 -nocont C:\ 1> nul 2> nul

Waiting for you reply..

[Mark_Solutions]

Based on your log i have a couple of questions:

Is this server virtual?

Does it have oracle on it?

If the answer to both is yes then it is possible that when starting the backup and its snapshot is called it leverages the VMWare tools and trues to also snapshot the applications on the client.

That may not be possible or take too long so try following this tech note - using option B to edit the tools.conf file: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH141518

Also take a good look at what is on that server and if there are live databases etc, set excludes for them before trying the next backup

Let us know if this helps

[Venu_S1]

We have un insatll and re insatll the nbu software and rebooted the client.

Both diff and full backup completed successfully for 1 day.

Aagin backup failing with EC 13 every day.

Every time bpbkar process on client going to hund state once the backup started.

Please help

[Marianne]

I have nothing else to suggest. Just a repeat of previous suggestion:

Best option will be to migrate to newer hardware and supported OS. 
You can then install supported NBU version.

[Mark_Solutions]

You never did answer my questions - is it virtual - does it have Otracle on it?

If so did you try my suggestion relating to the VMWare tools.conf?
