Hi Symantec,
I had a cold backup issue for oracle DB. Netbackup job was hung with out writing any KB. Netbackup job is to failed and i have cancelled that job till that time DB was down. There is no information in the detail information of that job.
I need to find out the root casue for this issue.
I am planning for enabling the loggings for this server. As this is a UNIX clinet server i dont have much idea.. Could any one please let me know how to enable the loggings for this server by step by step.
Ver: NetBackup 6.5
Thanks for you help in advance.

On the client:
dbclient, bphdb and bpcd
(remember to chmod 777 dbclient and bphdb)
On the media server:
bpbrm and bptm
On the master
bprd
(restart NBU to enable bprd log)
dbclient will log initial backup request to master and oracle data transfer to media server
bpcd will log connection requests from master and media server
bphdb should log 'keepalive' info
RMAN output file will log Oracle/RMAN activities
bpbrm will log media to client comms and metadata transfer to master
bptm will log actual data received from client
bprd will log backup request from client and hand-off to media server

Take a look in /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/README.debug file
Add VERBOSE = 5 to /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf
The T/N is rather old but still valid for most of the information.
I would recommend to creating the bpbkar and bphdb debug logs.

Maria,
You mean to say that after enabling "bpbrm,bptm and bprd"we need to restart the Netbackup services in the master/media server?

bprd needs a restart because it's a background service/daemon that runs all the time.
Logging will only start if log folder exists when bprd is started.
Processes like bpbrm and bptm will start logging next time a new bpbrm/bptm process is started.

Restart is not required for bpbrm/bptm correct..

Correct - the only process that require a restart are those that are always running. For example, bpdbm, bprd. That said, this would only 'effect' the parent process - any child proceses started by these process would log to the log file.
As bptm/ bpbrm 'start' for each backup, there is no need to restart.
