Hi Team, I have an SLP which usually has enormous amount of data as backlog in it. I understand a single backup image of the client in it has huge data in TB's. However how can I accomplish in making them run successfully. As many of them fail with error code 50 after replicating around 800 GB's. Here is the LIFECYCLE_PARAMETERS content. MIN_GB_SIZE_PER_DUPLICATION_JOB 50 MAX_GB_SIZE_PER_DUPLICATION_JOB 200 MAX_MINUTES_TIL_FORCE_SMALL_DUPLICATION_JOB 60 DUPLICATION_SESSION_INTERVAL_MINUTES 30 Please suggest. Thanks SidSolved1.3KViews7likes9Commentsbpbackup -w option
Hello All I am trying to understand the bpbackup parameter "-w" a little bit better. At what point does the command return to the command line? Is it the point at which the backup completes or when the backup actually commences? In addition, does the[hh:mm:ss] option mean that after a predefined period of time the command exits to return to the command line even when the backup is still continuing? Many thanks FujSolSolved780Views7likes4CommentsNetbackup Appliance 3.1.1 (8.1.1.) crashing
After upgrading Netbackup Appliance 5230 from 3.1 to 3.1.1 (Netbackup 8.1.1) we have had frequent unexpected reboots. The OS reboots and there is nothing in the Netbackup logs explaining what went wrong. Also there are no core dumps created. The only bit of detail is this strange behaviour in the /var/log/messages, below, note the break sequence ^@^@ - looks like the OS runs out of kernel(?) memory even though the available memory is almost 50% - by checking sar reports eg. sar -r -f /var/log/sa/sa{dayofthemonth} After weeks of struggling with support we eventually found an engineer that dug up a known bug! for instability in Netbackup 8.1.1. The EEB is ET3942191 but please note that 8.1.1 already comes with this EEB installed but Veritas have silently being updating it and not telling anyone - nowhere to be found in late breaking news - shocker I know...:smileyindifferent: If I remember correctly 8.1.1 comes with version 1 or 2 of this EEB. My engineer gave me version 9 of it. Once it was installed the rebooting went away for a month. A new case was logged when the issue re-occured, I then after being told by support there is nothing they can do for me, I asked them about ET3942191 because maybe it was updated again, and low and behold it was! I was given version 14 to install and its been stable since - holding thumbs. Patch installed was NBAPP_EEB_ET3942191-3.1.1.0-14.x86_64-180814140122.rpm. So if you have weird crashing on your Netbackup Appliance running version 3.1.1 ask for ET3942191 it may change your life and award you extra sleep at night - might also cure baldness. I am hoping this tyrade of mine will help someone that is experiencing the same thing. May 28 16:50:09 netbackup-appl-01 systemd: Started Serial Getty on ttyS0.
