Services and Retries

I have 2 Questions here

1. How to check whether the NBU services are running on a client from the master or the media server remotely either in windows or a Unix Client. is there a command to check it,

 

2. How to change job retry for a client. Is there a command to change it or do we need to change the settings on the configuration files, if so please mention the file too.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Regards,

Prab

                 The  number of retries for a backup, during the configured time period
                 (see -period). NetBackup tries  to  run  a  backup  job  for  a  given
                 client/policy/schedule  combination  this many times in the configured
                 period. This allows you to limit the number of backup attempts  should
                 repeated failures occur.

                 The time interval associated with the configured number of tries for a
                 backup  (see  -tries). This is the period, in hours, during which Net-
                 Backup will attempt a backup job for a client/policy/schedule combina-
                 tion  for  as many tries as configured. hours must be a positive inte-
                 ger. The default is 12 hours.

hi,

  • To check netbackup services stats you can run "bpps -a" command on client. I am not sure if there we can check remotly but you can check "tpclinetcmd -ip <ip address>" command to check clients connectivity with netbackup server, if this command fails its mean NB services are down. I know this is not the solution but shortcut.

 

  •  I am looking answer for your second question. will get back to you soon.
