Re: [Veritas-bu] Open file backup error
Good Afternoon, I have some questions. Are you using luns defined on emc storage. Does the emc storage have the vss support installed. Does your policy include the system state (this may be called something else like shadow copy ...) If yes to these, is the lun for the windows system disk (normally c:) share a volume with other luns. Did the volume fill. Did the snapshot cache area fill. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of X_S Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2011 3:48 PM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] Open file backup error i am having the same exact problem. my master and media are windows 2003 sp2 with NB 7.1. i have three win 2003 sp2 clients x64 with different nb versions installed 7.1, 6.5.6, and 6.5.5. they are all failing with the same problem. parent stream runs long and then eventually fails out. i enabled the bpbfis log and found this at the bottom: 14:03:07.452 [5188.6052] <2> onlfi_vfms_logf: INF - snapshot services: emcsymfi:Wed Jun 22 2011 14:03:07.452000 Execption occured while closing handles 14:03:07.452 [5188.6052] <2> onlfi_vfms_logf: INF - snapshot services: emcsymfi:Wed Jun 22 2011 14:03:07.452000 execSymCLI : Command output 14:03:07.452 [5188.6052] <2> onlfi_vfms_logf: INF - snapshot services: emcsymfi:Wed Jun 22 2011 14:03:07.452000 Gate keeper is locked.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Open file backup error
Hey Bob, it's not FUD. VSP has been problematic since, I don't know, 4.5? It would fail to release the lock on the file and therefore you would end up with GB files filling up the filesystems which sometimes required a reboot to be able to delete. It didn't happen consistently, but it was frequent enough to cause problems on those systems so at my previous job we moved away from it. I agree with you that MS took too long to come out with VSS. But now that VSS is around and works very well (most of the time), there is no reason for VSP. Rusty Major, MCSE, BCFP, VCS ▪ Sr. Storage Engineer ▪ SunGard Availability Services ▪ 757 N.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Open file backup error - OT rant
I agree. There are many opinions. My preference is to have all the threads in one email because I regularly delete the old emails. Also if someone is on holiday/vacation for a while and then returns and answers a question without the rest of the thread I don't have a clue what he is referring to. I can see where having long threads can cause a problem when the exchange admin limits your mailbox size. I'm not sure there is a satisfactory answer. To paraphrase Abe: You can please some of the emails all of the time and all of the emails some of the time, but you can please all of the emails all of the time.

First, don't bother using VSP. It has known issues and eventually goes away

In addtion to all the other suggestions, take a look at the Windows Event

Re: [Veritas-bu] Open file backup error
Dear Rusty,
I am heaving this issue, But it is intermittent. In my case it is
happening only during the weekly Full Backup.
My Master/Media Server = Linux (Redhat 5.4)
My Client = Windows 2003 SP2.
This is a Windows File Server with capacity of 1.2 TB. This server is
running on VM.

I have logged this case with support but they could not conclude the root
cause. As we are not getting any error on the OS side.
With Warm Regards

First, don't bother using VSP. It has known issues and eventually goes away
in version 7.x.
In addtion to all the other suggestions, take a look at the Windows Event
Log for any VSS errors.

[Veritas-bu] Open file backup error
Hello Geeks, I am facing issue with one of my windows 2003 SP2 server.It is on Netbackup 6.5.4 and whenever I try to take its backup using VSP or VSS it fails after long ( The parent streams runs for long)But whenever I disable open file ,it runs fine. I need to take open file backups..Please suggest what is the issue, other clients with same version are running fine and there is no VSS error in this.
