Re: [Veritas-bu] Error 50 for all backups
When you sent your original email you said your jobs were frequently being killed with error 50 so it sounded like they would fail with error 50 while the server was running. Is it just one or two or do a whole collection of jobs seem to die together during the backup window? Or do you just come into the office and notice the jobs have died with error 50? If it's a collection - next time you observe the error occurring run /usr/sbin/swap -l or /usr/sbin/swap -s and check how much free swap space you have. Alternatively setup a cron job to run the swap and date command every minute or so and output it to a txt file so you can track what is happening. You should also run an all log entry report during covering the timeline of the error and look for any "fork" errors If you think the system could be getting rebooted during the backup window you can check by: Run the uptime command and check how long you system has been up for You can also just hit "w" and enter. Or you can also check the /var/adm/messages file Check if a reboot could have occurred during your backup window Good luck :-) -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Marianne Van Den Berg Sent: 06 April 2010 09:36 To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Error 50 for all backups Your master server was probably rebooted.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Error 50 for all backups
Hi Status 50 can be a little random. Here is a Guide on Status 50, although it covers 5.x you would need to enable logging on the Client (If its windows then c:\PRogram files\Veritas\Netbackup\logs\BPCD and BPBKAR as an example). You may need to provide more info (ie: Platform of clients, Platform of the Master, client version of OS and NetBackup client software, and if Windows, then things like the System and Application logs). That is just for starters.. Take a read of this guide... ftp://exftpp.symantec.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_Enterprise_Serv er/277694.pdf Simon -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of NBU Sent: Monday, March 29, 2010 9:36 AM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Error 50 for all backups Dear Forum, Frequently getting error 50 for all active backups.
