Configuring Informix 7.3.1 to make use of Veritas NetBackup with onbar

[Anjum_Suri]

Hi All

While setting up Veritas NetBackup bits on Informix client, I am getting this error message, when I am trying to execute onbar -b -w -L 0 command. I am using HP-UX version 11.11

Any help will be highly appreciated.

$ onbar -b -w -L 0

Anjum,

This line or this error is a typical HPUX shared library error.

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: dlopen (code) from /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/infxbsa.sl

Stick this line /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/ in your servers /etc/SHLIB_PATH file. Source you profile again do . ./.profile

run "set"

see if it's in you $SHLIB_PATH.

Cool

See ya,

Hi

I have two other servers running same version of O/S and Veritas NetBackup with Informix, I just checked and confirmed that in other two servers (which are working fine) there is no mentioning of this entry /usr/openv/netbackup/bin in this file /etc/SHLIB_PATH.

I am still getting same error that I mentioned in my previous message.

May I also know where should this bp.conf file resides (in which directory)? What should be the value of this parameter CLIENT_NAME & REQUIRED_INTERFACE in bp.conf file? Is REQUIRED_INTERFACE parameter mendatory?


Thanks

Anjum,

REQUIRED_INTERFACE is only needed when your server is configured to do backups on a different LAN.

do a set > /tmp/server1_set on the Servers that are working and then do "diff" and compare each profile.

fix the profile

Next if it still does not work do this on each box, the one that work and the one that does not.
swlist -l bundle | grep C/ANSI
B3901BA B.11.11.08 HP C/ANSI C Developer's Bundle for HP-UX 11.i (S800)

now check if you have the latest linker tool patches.

this is the latest for 11.11

s700_800 11.11 ld(1) and linker tools cumulative patch PHSS_33033
get em here

I would call in a ticket with HP, you may have a corrupt dld.sl � dynamic loader on this server

bp.conf file is in

/usr/openv/netbackup


mine looks like this on the master.

SERVER = master_hostname
CLIENT_NAME = master_hostname
CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT = 2200
CLIENT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT = 1500
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = DBR
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = TAR

Hi James

Thanks for your info, but problem still persist and is same. Let me tell you here that I am using NetBackup Version 6 (nbu 6.0MP1) and my O/S is HP-UX (B.11.11).

The problem is same when I am running $> onbar -b -L 0, I get this message
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: dlopen (code) from /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/infxbsa.sl

I checked in logfile from the directory /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/infxbsa and the log files reports this error

Please suggest how can I fix this error? Any help will highly be appreciated.
