Client version 6.5.6 on the server - bp.conf has IGNORE_XATTR =

[Netbackup_fan]

Hi experts.

I need help here.  the System Admin installed client 6.5.6, also the Sys Admin modified the bp.conf to add the following entries:

I notice that the bp.con has the following ownership, permissions:

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         244 Jan 23 16:44 bp.conf

SERVER = NB-master

SERVER = NB-media

SERVER = timefinder

SERVER = amdocstest

CLIENT_NAME = centurion

ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = TAR

ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = ANSI

IGNORE_XATTR = YES

The backup is giving the following errors:

04:04:31 WRN - /export/home/oracle/dba/exp_pipe.dmp is a fifo special file. Back
ing up the raw fifo.
05:04:35 INF - Server status = 13
05:04:37 INF - Backup by oracle on client centurion using policy Database_Cold,
sched Logs_One_Year:file read failed

Thank you all  for helping me. I have learned a lot!

Strange, in the centurion server, the logs only show the start time of when the backup started.

Attached you will find all the logs.

The Activity Monitor shows this:

They are correct.  the 10.* is the NB-master and the 192 is the client server trying to do the backup. (Which fails with the 13)

Ok, I have avoided the log postings because I'am a oracle dba.  I'am trying to do this myself .

I have uploaded the logs of bpbkar and bpcd. Is this of help?

I found Verbose on the bp.conf and I found a log in this path:
