RE: [Veritas-bu] Can't kill an "Active" job...
Title: Message If they do not get killed, I ended up stopping the services, or rebooting. When the server comes back, normally find the jobs are either suspended or killed. If suspended, just kill them and it should be fine! Normal times I have seen this is where there is a comms failure between NBU and the end client and NBU continue to retries Simon WeaverTechnical SupportWindows Domain Administrator EADS AstriumTel: 02392-708598 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message-From: Aaron Mills [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 December 2005 20:58To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.eduSubject: [Veritas-bu] Can't kill an "Active" job...

RE: [Veritas-bu] Can't kill an "Active" job...
Title: Can't kill an "Active" job... Try killing it via the GUI - that sometimes works for me when the command line doesn't. Strange. I've never had to delete the db files now that we're at the later versions of NB. Just kiilling & restarting the daemons was enough. You might try suspending them and then killing the then suspended jobs - this worked for me once, too. Also strange. -M -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Aaron MillsSent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 1:58 PMTo: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.eduSubject: [Veritas-bu] Can't kill an "Active" job...

RE: [Veritas-bu] Can't kill an "Active" job...
Title: Can't kill an "Active" job... You are not alone. And sometimes they persist after a reboot (which means I move the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/bpjobd.act.db to a backup name prior to restarting NBU). I used to have success killing the child bpsched PID (listed as "Active PID") but the last couple of times I tried that, it caused the primary bpsched process to restartdropping all active backups. So I don't do that anymore and just wait for a bounce and tell ops to ignore the phantom jobs. I don't know but I suspect if bpsched gets a breather it might clean this up, but my bpsched never gets a breather so I don't know. G.
