Sript is executing with status 0. Also its saying that the process is started. But the process is not listing out in ps or bpps. Actually its not running.

 

Below is the output without debug mode.

===================

root@adcdbq2 # /etc/init.d/netbackup start
NetBackup Database Server started.
NetBackup Event Manager started.
Bus Error - core dumped
NetBackup Enterprise Media Manager started.
NetBackup Resource Broker started.
Media Manager daemons started.
NetBackup request daemon started.
NetBackup compatibility daemon started.
NetBackup Job Manager started.
NetBackup Policy Execution Manager started.
NetBackup Storage Service Manager started.
NetBackup Remote Monitoring Management System started.
NetBackup Key Management daemon started.
NetBackup Service Layer started.
NetBackup Service Monitor started.

===================

 

I think it has something to do with "Bus-Error - core dumped" message.

 

Thanks in advance.

Did you see this?

"It may be necessary to re-install PBX from the NetBackup Media Kit before continuing."

This is a 'known issue' for NBU 6.5.4 (and later) on Solaris where PBX was installed/updated by another Symantec product, such as Storage Foundation.

See: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH70786

 

The solution is to pkgrm VRTSpbx and VRTSicsco  followed by re-installation from 6.5 install media (or from the links in the above TN). Patch installation will now be successful.

Which OS? (looks like AIX?) Which NBU version?

Any recent changes or problems such as upgrade and/or patch installation or problem with server panic or disk full?

I have seen problems like yours under these circumstances:

Problem with patch where certain files got corrupted when patch folder was manually copied from one server to another. Patch installation was successful but certain processes would not start.

Disk full condition caused corruption of /usr/openv/netbackup/nblog.conf.

Server panic caused corruption of /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf.

The media server was running on 6.5.2. I was trying to upgrade it to 6.5.6. Now only NB_CLT_6.5.6 is installed but not the media server packages. Its failed because of PBX issue.

 

Below is the output when I again ran the upgrade.

Marianne,

Right now I am not having media kit now I am having the serial key to download the server pacakge from the fileconnect. 

So the upgradation is suspended. But this nbrmms process is not coming to life since then.

As I cant do the upgrade now because of PBX(upgradtion may fix the daemon), Is there any other way to running this process (nbrmms). I mean any troubleshooting we can do?

As Marianne wrote, you have an option to download PBX package following that TN.
Here is a direct link to downloadable.

If you click on the TN that I've posted above: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH70786

you will see the following at the bottom of the page:

The Solaris 6.5 GA ICS installation images to resolve this issue have been posted to the Support website.

For SPARC:  http://support.veritas.com/docs/326395
For x86:  http://support.veritas.com/docs/329039
 

   

 

It seems that you might have corrupt binaries on this media server. You now have Client binaries on this server that are higher than the Server binaries. Not good....

If you complete the patch installation, old or corrupt binaries will be replaced and will possibly solve the problem with nbrmms.

Thanks everybody for support.

 

I obtained the serial key from the suymantec customer care. Then downloaded the ICS pacakage which provide pbx. Installed it--> Applied patch 6.5.6 --> upgraded successfully --> started services --> Everything is OK.
