[Veritas-bu] Status 84 - plugin error
Yea, Data Domain want us to upgrade to 5.0.2.3 also but they cannot pinpoint any reason for the code 84. Right now we are staying at 5.0.1.7 as the media write errors are very very few now. I even asked datadomain to give the solution id that specifically addresses the media write error in the new code and they really couldn't. They gave me a few solution id's but it did not fit the criteria of media write errors, just addressed increasing the timeouts. +-- |This was sent by rich.sav...@bcbsne.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
[Veritas-bu] Status 84 - plugin error
Hi Jack, i'll second rsavage. we had to upgrade to 5.0.1.7 and use the symantec patch for 2008 servers as well which definitely helped. We worked for a few weeks before we got a hold of the right person at DD to figure this out. DD support has been great but they need to do a better job keeping their users informed of fixes or changes like this timeout config. Didn't receive any notice of updates. 5.0.2.3? crazy! +-- |This was sent by xsp...@yahoo.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
Re: [Veritas-bu] Status 84 - plugin error
DataDomain has also recommended that we upgrade to DDOS 5.0.2.3 for the exact same reason you cite. It's good to get confirmation from someone that this could more or less resolve the problem.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Status 84 - plugin error
We have seem similar issues when we exceed the max streams on the DD system. Synth jobs take up 3 streams, duplication jobs take up 2 streams, so you need to be careful with the max jobs on the storage unit. If this is happening you will see messages logged in your daily autosupports (No alerts, logged messages) Something like this: Current Alerts -- No active alerts. Recent Alerts and Log Messages -- Sep 4 11:01:34 DDOM ddfs[26313]: WARNING: MSG-RPC-1: Rejected 242505 connection attempts to port 2049 in the last 10039 minutes.

There are some tweaks needed to make sure the correct media server is used for duplication and synthetic fragment reads if this is the case, which if you don't do, you will likely be clogging up your WAN link with non-optimized backup traffic.

We've been having jobs fail with a status 84 seemingly at random. These jobs are being written to a DataDomain 890 configured as an OST target for the backups. Both of the media servers in the environment (one AIX and one Windows) are seeing these failures. Since NetBackup is reporting a plugin error, we've engaged DataDomain technical support in addition to Symantec technical support. These are the messages we see in the job details: 10/18/2011 17:52:31 - Critical bptm (pid=30605402) image write failed: error 2060046: plugin error 10/18/2011 17:52:31 - Critical bptm (pid=30605402) sts_get_image_prop failed: error 2060046: plugin error 10/18/2011 17:52:31 - Critical bptm (pid=30605402) image delete failed: error 2060046: plugin error 10/18/2011 17:52:38 - Error bptm (pid=30605402) cannot write image to disk, Invalid argument 10/18/2011 17:52:38 - Info bptm (pid=30605402) EXITING with status 84 <-- Other vitals: NetBackup version: 7.1.0.2 OST Plugin: 2.3.1.0 DDOS: 5.0.0.7-226726 Anyone else have a similar problem? -- Jack Forester, Jr. Sr. Data Protection Administrator Global Technology Services - AHS Mylan, Inc. 5005 Greenbag Road Morgantown, WV 26501 jack.fores...@mylan.com Phone: +1.304.554.6039 Cell: +1.412.805.5313 == CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message and all attachments transmitted with it may contain legally privileged, proprietary and/or confidential information intended solely for the use of the addressee.
