[Veritas-bu] BPFIS processes running
Thanks for all of the replies. Nic, I checked in fs_cntl and there was nothing in there. However, in fi_cntl there are a lot bpfis.fim.xml documents and fiid files dating back a few months from when it was installed... Also, on VMs I asked one of the guys in the Intel team to check and have asked in the past if there are any redundant snapshots. There never are any... I'm not sure if I mentioned if another issue with this is that when the backups complete the parent job still sits there even though everything completes normally without errors AND the snapshot is deleted +-- |This was sent by chris.fa...@uk.fid-intl.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

The NBU 7 VMware guide has a troubleshooting section that discusses how to remove locks/failed snapshots also.

Re: [Veritas-bu] BPFIS processes running
Chris, As others have said, bpfis looks after any snapshot/frozen image processing, and interacts pretty heavily with VCB (you will actually see all the relevant VCB logging in the bpfis legacy log). Those bpfis processes will stay in place until either the VCB resources (or VSS/VSP resources for the local machine backup) they are interacting with on the local system are released, independent of the usual Netbackup processes. Hmm. Although you mention you are using NBU7 - are you still using VCB, or have you moved across to vStorage based backups? For VCB there is a touch file lock that is created in the Netbackup somewhere, but I can't remember precisely where. I think its in \NetBackup\online_util\fs_cntl ; but i don't have any outstanding locks on any of my environments, so can't confirm. Check for those files, as well as residual image structure in your VCB snapshot volumes; also still running vmounter.exe processes (or is it vmmount? Something like that).

I've had it go bonkers on some servers, so I don't think it's the most reliable daemon in the world.

Re: [Veritas-bu] BPFIS processes running
BPFis is related to Bare Metal Restores. I sometimes see this, and end up cancelling the jobs, or process. Is the backups using VSS. http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH47808 -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of BlueChris69 Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 11:50 AM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] BPFIS processes running Hi, I'm running NBU 7 for Windows.
