Backups failing at first attempt with 24 on /sapmnt directory

[Vijay_Laxmi]

Backups are intermettently and at the first attempt failing on the path /sapmnt on 5- 6 servers . This directory contains below databases in different servers respectively. It has got the applications run all the time not any specific time.  Other paths in the server are backing up fine, only this path is failing. it doesnt contain huge number of files as well and size of the directory is only 21 GB.

Does /sapmnt is shared between Multple Servers.. could you confirm with Unix admin on this?

also can you try the backup for 1 server at a time and see the results...?

i have seen this error when same FS is shared with Mulitple server and trying to backup from all servers, if it is shared on real time, taking backup from one sever would be more than enough and from rest of the servers this path can be excluded.

No /sapmnt is not shared  on multiple servers. Each server has a seprate mount point respectively

Have a look at suggested changes to /etc/sysctl.conf on Linux clients and servers in this forum discussion: https://www.veritas.com/community/forums/netbackups-failing-error-code-24-linux-clients
