Re: [Veritas-bu] commited memory growth on RHEL 4 and NBU 6.5.2
That's interesting Jon. I'll look into nbevtmgr. But one thing I forgot to mention in my previous email is that restarting NBU does not clear up the issue for me. That makes me think it might be something to do with PBX or ICS.

I have NBU running on 32 bit linux, and this process seems to consume resources slowly, but I don't have graphs to show its progress. Restarting NBU (all of it or just nbevtmgr) seems to fix the problem. I just checked it now, and after 23 days, it is sitting on 2g of ram. Restarting it fixed a lot of things related to performance, and my swap utilization went way down. I'm 6.5.2a. -Jon Hello folks, We are running NBU 6.5.2 on RHEL 4 on Intel X86_64. The master server is a dedicated NBU master, there is one dedicated NBU Media Server (also RHEL 4 x86_64) and several RHEL 5 x86_64 SAN Media Servers. The master has 8 GB of RAM. I am seeing strange constant growth in commited memory usage, on the Master server only. Apparently this is memory being requested by an allocation, but not actually being used. It doesn't appear to be causing any problems, other than that memory utilisation graphs look pretty whacky http://img49.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nbumemoryusagela5.png This is not occuring on any of the media servers. I can't determine what process is allocating the memory. It's a standard RHEL 4 install with no other applications installed of note. I didn't actually notice it until our Linux admin installed this Munin monitoring tool which produced the graphs linked to above, at which time the commited memory was over 300GB. As you can see from the graphs, a reboot obviously clears it all out. Has anyone else seen this?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Java Comsole Hungs with Netbackup 6.5.2A
When I upgraded to 6.x, I had to completely remove the java admin app from my admin windows workstations. Doing the upgrade apparently left something behind that didn't work so well. You could see most of the features, but getting properties on certain things, or examining the policies would cause it to hang or error out. I think the linux java admin workstation upgrades worked fine... but I can't remember what I did.

[Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6 MP7 update on Clustered Media Servers help
Guys im updating a NBU 6Mp4 Solaris environment to Mp7. I have Master (solaris9 MP4) Performing it on the Master first obviously and then was going to remotely install on 3 SSO Media servers (part of an oracle RAC). It says this is possible in the patch readme but i haven't performed a remote mp pack install before (apart from network based clients using update_clients). Is it just an option when you run the mp install script? If this remote upgrade works fine then i want to adopt the approach on 2 further SSO Media servers (both at nbu6 mp4) which have a clustered nbu install using VCS. I don't have root access to the machines see (dont' ask), but i can freeze the netbackup resource group under VCS as the role access i have allows me access to do that. My question is can this be done as follows :- 1. Install mp7 on master (clt + solaris) 2. Connect to inactive cluster media server 3. Freeze netbackup cluster resource 4. Remote install from the master to the inactive cluster node 5. Remote install from the master to the active cluster node 6. Unfreeze cluster resource. Anything else i need to do?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Inventory robot failed 228 requested slot does not exist in robot
This sounds like NetBackup is only passing along what the library is telling it. So I'd take NBU out of the picture and try to confirm if it's happening at the library level and go from there. Isn't that library controlled by ACSLS? If so, check the acs event log and also see what you get when you do an audit within acs. Are there any error messages on the library itself?
