Scheduled Jobs not starting after catalogue recovery

Charlie_J

Recently my Netbackup master/media server crashed, forcing me to rebuild the server, OS and all.  After installing NB, I was able to recover my catalogue using the standard method explained in the email generated by the catalog backups.  It worked like a charm.  The only oddity I have found is, scheduled jobs are not starting.  If I run them manually, they work and if I adjust their schedule, they will fire off automatically.

My question, is this normal for a catalogue recover?  Will I need to "touch" each policy schedule to get them back on schedule?

You never mentioned your NBU version?

'Older' versions of NBU was notorious for nbpem 'misbehaving'...

Try 'nbpemreq -updatepolicies' followed by  'nbpemreq -predict_all -date <mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS> ' to see what the scheduler predicts.

Check the policy's  - there is a "Active. Go into effect at:" option. If the time is in the future the backup will not fire off automatic.

Change the date to a time in the past and check mark "Active".

I checked the option.  They all have dates far in the past.

After performing a catalog recovery. You need to stop and restart all Netbackup services.
