Netbackup continues running policy even de-activated or deleted

[Amar-khodja]

Hi experts,

I have de-activated a policy in NetBackup, but it is still running. I have deleted it but no way.

What can I do to stop the policy from running while it is de-activated.

I have done the folloing but didn't solve the issue:

1. Stop NetBackup Services on the master server
2. Remove the following files and directories from the master server
 
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpsched.d/*
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bprd.d/*
    /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/pempersist2
    /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/restart/*
 
3. Start NetBackup Services
4. Run the command below to force nbpem to re-read configurations and rebuild its cache instead of waiting the default time to do so:
 
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbpemreq -updatepolicies
 

Thanks

Hello

Moving policy folder from one location to another may corrupt the policy.

Better to take policy detail using command and refer it to recreate in future.

Location:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/
#bppllist <Policy_Name> -U > /tmp/<Policy_Name>1.txt

Displays a full (long) listing.
#bppllist <Policy_Name> -L > /tmp/<Policy_Name>2.txt

Bring down the NBU services on Master server and remove the policy folder.

The database backup is client site backup. We are removing all references regarding that client.

-Deleting policy from NBU and folder from path will remove all references for auto schedule.

-Renamed script will not get execute and not send any request to master server

After doing this still facing problem then 100% request is coming from different server which having same detail

Or

You have multiple scripts configured and running by user or cron job.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Tousif,

The solution seems working. The policy doesn't execute again. Is it possible to create the policy again and de-activate it. Are we sure the issue won't appear again. We need this policy in the future.

Thanks
