Re: [Veritas-bu] Error status 129 - DiskStaging Unit is full
Do not completely agree with this statement. Images are indeed immediately removed. WHAT you have to take care of is that NO CATALOG BACKUP is running at the same time a cleanup is required !!

st 15 or 30 minutes or whatever you configure. That way you can restart the backup after you clear disk space. Its better than starting over from scratch. -Jonathan -Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of osonder Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2007 9:12 AM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Error status 129 - DiskStaging Unit is full -NetBackup 6.0 Hello Jonathan You may have a point.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Error status 129 - DiskStaging Unit is full -NetBackup 6.0
I had the same issue. This is what I got from my SUN/Symantic Support: "I did hear back from Symantec. The level 4 engineer at Symantec identified the issue as an instance of a defect that will be resolved in 6.0 MP6. I've filed Sun Change Request (CR) 6623137 fo document this problem. The Symantec issue was described as, "backup jobs to disk would end in a status 129 when the disk was full." The DSSU's would fill up, the backups writing to it would exit with a status 129, then the images would subsequently be cleaned up and the backups run fine. The fixes (to bptm and bpdm) should pause backups writing to full dssu's, clean up old images and then resume backups. The tentative expectation is that 6.0 MP6 will be available in January to February, 2008. Symantec has tested a hot fix on a Linux platform at a customer site, and can generate Solaris binaries, if you require a hot fix. I explained to our contact at Symantec that my greatest concern was a misidentification of the issue, as there has been difficulty explaining this issue up till now. She has reviewed the logs and other data provided from your site, and is confident that this issue the issue they addressed for one or two other sites and documented as the bug cited here."

Nothing worse than backing up 800GB of data and having it fail at 799GB because of low / no disk space. If you enable checkpoint backups it will retain the backed up bit back to the last 15 or 30 minutes or whatever you configure. That way you can restart the backup after you clear disk space. Its better than starting over from scratch. -Jonathan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of osonder Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2007 9:12 AM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Error status 129 - DiskStaging Unit is full -NetBackup 6.0 Hello Jonathan You may have a point.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Error status 129 - DiskStaging Unit is full -NetBackup 6.0
I've never seen an error 129 when there is plenty of space for backups. Are you sure the system has 325GB free at the time of the error? If you are running (for example) a 500GB backup, it will fill up the drive, give you the error 129 then remove the 325GB of 500GB it has already backed up. -Jonathan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of osonder Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2007 5:15 AM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Error status 129 - DiskStaging Unit is full -NetBackup 6.0 Hello I'm using 6.0 with a diskstaging unit on 1Tb.
