A Unix master have two sample bpstart scripts in /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies:
bpstart_notify bpstart_notify.bat
The .bat is meant for Windows clients and have all the @REM comments.
The one without the extention is the Unix/Linux sample and starts like this:
#! /bin/sh
# $Header: bpstart_notify.sh,v 1.4 2005/06/28 15:22:02 $
#
#bcpyrght

#
# bpstart_notify.sh
#
# This script is called by NetBackup when bpbkar is started up on the client
# to do a backup or archive.
#
# This script:
# receives 4 parameters: CLIENTNAME POLICYNAME SCHEDNAME SCHEDTYPE
# must be executable by the root user
# should exit with 0 upon successful completion
#
# If this script will not complete within a few seconds, you should set
# the BPSTART_TIMEOUT in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file on the server.
Please note the following must be run as oracle:
sqlplus "/ as sysdba" <<EOF
shutdown abort;
startup;
shutdown immediate;
(You need to check with your oracle team what the rest of the stopall script is doing and if it's necessary to add all of it in bpstart_notify.)
As you can see from the comments in the bpstart sample, this script is run as root. So, you will need to do something like the following:
su - oracle -c "
sqlplus "/ as sysdba" <<EOF
shutdown abort;
startup;
shutdown immediate; "
You also need to ensure that the shutdown and startup completes within 5 minutes as this is the NBU timeout for start and end scripts. This timeout can be increased.
As I've stated previoulsly, you can also stay with your crontab and add bpbackup to the end of the stopall script.
