Netbackup 7.0 Scheduled Policies Not Running

[adoggett]

I have recently upgraded to Netbackup 7.0 from 6.5.5.  I have restored my Catalog without any issues, except that it didn't pull any of my vault information down with it.  I have manually created the Vaults they are running just fine (if I start them manually).  Last night none of my backups ran as expected.  They have a backup window from 6pm - 4am and generally backups kick off automatically and my duplications are running in the morning when I come in after everything backs up.  This morning I had nothing run from last night,  I have checked my policies and all of the policies are there and all of them have their normal scheduled backup window.  I have verified that all of my services are running as expected and they are.  If I do a manual backup of any of the policies they run just fine but don't seem to automatically run as expected.

This is currently running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 environment.

Is there something I missing?  We have upgraded in the past without issue but now the scheduled backups and vaults don't seem to kick off by themselves.

Any help is appreciated.

TIA

Checked that scheduler is running (nbpemreq -subsystems screen 23) or is expecting jobs to be run? (nbpemreq -predict or -due etc)

You may find that manually running a job has given the scheduler the proverbial kick & may run ok once again (or at least for that job)

It may be worth changing the window of a schedule such that it opens while you are there for testing purposes. After any changes run nbpemreq -updatepolicies to register the changes quicker.

Found my solution.  After I did the Catalog restore I didn't reboot the machine or start/stop services.  As soon as I stopped/started services my Catalog backup kicked off.  I changed a policy to run at 10am and it kicked off automatically as well.  Should have been my first troubleshooting step but of course I didn't think of the easy things first.

Everything appears to be running as normal.

Thanks for the response.
