Netbackup 7 installation issue

Friday, 23 July 2010 10:40 administrator

During Netbackup 7 installation on SuSe Linux the creation of NBDB fails with the following message:

Unable to create/upgrade the NB database.  Refer to the log file in /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/nbdb for more
information.  Rerun /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/install_bp when the problem has been resolved.

Inspecting /usr/openv/netbackup/nbdb show the following critical errors (those with <16>):

10:58:29.304 [13929] <4> pingDBServer: Running . /usr/openv/db/vxdbms_env.sh && "/usr/openv/db/bin/dbping" -q -c "ENG=NB_white;LINKS=shmem,tcpip{PORT=13785}"

Unable to process. Duplication session in progress. return value = [134]

From time to time the the nbstlutil command may return the message:

Unable to process. Duplication session in progress. return value = [134]

When activating or inactivating Storage Lifecycle Policies (slp). Since the nbstlutil command always return status code 0 this is quite a problem if the command is part of a script. However specifying the -wait argument causes nbstlutil command to retry the command until duplication session is no longer in progress.

Please note the -wait argument is picky about where it's specified.

This command will retry/wait

# nbstlutil -wait inactive -lifecycle {slp_name}

But this doesn't

# nbstlutil inactive -lifecycle {slp_name} -wait

The bplist is a handy tool for the Netbackup admin to list files and folders , however it's pretty picky with it's arguments. The cause is bplist assumptions.

  • if no start time is specified , bplist searches 12 hours back.
  • if no type (-t) is specified standard is assumed (type 0).
  • Always specify the -R argument.

Always  remember to :
