Cleaner, not necessarily safer ;-) Seriously, restarting NBU if possible is generally a better idea, especially if all your media servers are dedicated. The problems we have seen usually come from trying to restart NBU and having it lock up during a restart, forcing a reboot of the server. The other problem is if this is happening at a time that you are unable to restart NBU for some reason (like lots of important backups currently running). Most of these are questions because of what political climate your backup system lives in :-) -- David Rock [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Re: [Veritas-bu] Jobs won't go active
I have found that if you run
bprdreq -rereadconfig; bpschedreq -read_stunits; bpschedreq
-read_stu_config
in a loop of about 50, it works every time. I don't know what the
optimum number of iterations is, but 50 works and 10 doesn't (most of
the time).

If you created a new stu on these, did you restart netbackup? Usually
that will happen on a new storage unit if you don't stop and restart
NBU. You can also try the following commands if you can't stop NBU right
now. Sometimes it will work and sometimes you just have to restart NBU.
bprdreq -rereadconfig
bpschedreq -read_stunits

I've recently added a few new SAN media servers to my environment NBU
5.1MP5) and we are trying to run some test backups from these servers.
The job gets submitted and shows up queued in the activity monitor and
stays that way. I left one like that overnight, and it was still queued
this morning. The media servers are HPUX with a Solaris master.
I've checked bpsched, bprd, and bpcd logs on the master server as well
as the bprd and bpcd logs on the media server. Nothing is screaming out
as to why jobs from these new media servers will not go active. Other
jobs to other media servers are going active almost immediately.
What other things should I look into? I've checked name resolution,
traceroutes in both directions, and have a support call open with
Symantec. These new servers are supposed to go live this weekend.
Argh!

Re: [Veritas-bu] Jobs won't go active
Sounds like bpsched to me. I ran into bpsched hangs, and this techinote fixed it, however the technote references solaris, and I was runngin a singel master/media. http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/268122.htm I don't know if it could be an issue for you since you have a solaris master, even though things are working on some of the HP-UX media servers.
