Netbackup catalog not completing

[Dnyanesh]

Hi All ,

OS : Solaris 10 , Netbackup : 6.5.6

Catalog backup is not happening for the past ten days .It is not moving ahead from the following step ( validating BMRDB backup in /usr/openv/db/staging ) .

Nov 17, 2010 5:10:34 PM - Info bpdbm (pid=15940) staging relational database files for catalog backup
Nov 17, 2010 5:10:34 PM - Info bpdbm (pid=15940) staging BMRDB backup to /usr/openv/db/staging
Nov 17, 2010 5:12:42 PM - Info bpdbm (pid=15940) done staging BMRDB backup to /usr/openv/db/staging
Nov 17, 2010 5:12:42 PM - Info bpdbm (pid=15940) staging NBDB backup to /usr/openv/db/staging
Nov 17, 2010 5:21:17 PM - Info bpdbm (pid=15940) done staging NBDB backup to /usr/openv/db/staging
Nov 17, 2010 5:24:23 PM - Info bpdbm (pid=15940) validating BMRDB backup in /usr/openv/db/staging
 

I have recycle the netbackup and even booted the master server but still the problem persist.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

File system full?

Maybe the following T/N is relevant:

GENERAL ERROR: The NBDB database transaction log (NBDB.log) may become too large or corrupt for proper NetBackup operation.
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH55797

....but you would've probably seen the last two manifest in general NB operations also & not just the catalog. So I would only follow this T/N if you can prove that it is the issue.

Do you use/have you installed BMR? It's obviously that db backup that it appears to be stuck on validating.

Maybe more info in the bpdbm log file?

Hi Andy ,

Thnks for the response . The backup was happening successfully till 3rd Nov , but it started failing from 4th Nov . There were no changes made to the system . Even the file system has ample of space.

root@murbkp007 # /usr/openv/db/bin/nbdb_ping
Database [NBDB] is alive and well on server [NB_murbkp007].
 

We are not using BMR .

Any suggestion pls.

Do you see any BMRDB* files inside data/db/ folder on your master server?

If these files are there and you are not using BMR, then please move them to any temp dir and try catalog backup again.

Thanks.

Anything "hanging around" in the staging directory? Or have you already managed to resolve your issue?

Did you check in the db/data folder for BMRDB files per Mandars suggestion?
