NetBackup Enterprise Media Manager Service.....

[j083418]

NetBackup Enterprise Media Manager  service had an issue this morning on the Netbackup 6.5.4 Cluster. It was running but when starting up the GUI there were lots of error messages stating that it was unavailable. I can't see anything in the MS Windows event logs that points to any issues. Is there somewhere else I could look (a netbackup log maybe) to see if any issues occurred over night?

vxlogview -a -p NB -o 111

Stop and start emm, then run that command and check the last few entries.

Also, stop and start the database manager service, then run nbdb_ping to see if the db is available.

Looks like it ran out of space of the Q:\ drive

Great, you found the issue. Have a look at Q:\\NetBackupDB\data\NBDB.log, it sometimes grows way to big if a catalog backup wasn't run. You can truncate it with nbdb_backup.

Or you might just be running out of space due to other logs, or images growth.
