Yahoo! Found the problem! Thank you so much Michael!!! There is a Solaris linker patch (109147-39) that was withdrawn from Sun's site that was originally part of the 10/2005 patch cluster. The patch was replaced (109147-40) and we put it in, bounced the box and things are working again.
Posting the technotes in case anyone else ever encounters these 13 errors on NetApp backups, as well as the rest of the problems we were having. http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-1-6344952-1&search clause=6332983%2420+%2420101995 http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-34-withdrawn-1&sea rchclause=6332983%2420+%2420101995 Glad all the patch revision levels were forwarded to Veritas and Sun for their perusal :/ ~Kate -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Greenberg, Katherine A Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 1:57 PM To: Jack Forester, Jr.; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Issues with NetBackup after applying Solaris patches Yeah, well that is kind of the problem... With the exception of the NDMP issues, everything is intermittent and if you weren't really looking at things, it would just look like a flash in the pan kind of error. I've moved our NDMP backups to another Master (AIX) and they're working fine over there... Fun! ~Kate -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jack Forester, Jr. Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 11:54 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Issues with NetBackup after applying Solaris patches We do patches on our Solaris master servers on a semi-annual basis. We also take advantage of the fact that both our test and production environments are clustered to minimize the chances that a bad patch will hose the environment. We use a rolling upgrade method. First, we apply patches to the standby node in the cluster and reboot. If, after a week, we have no problems with the patches, we failover our NetBackup and ACSLS services to the newly patched server and allow it to run there for a week. If there are problems, we move the services back to the unpatched node. If we have no problems, only then will we put the patches on the other node in the cluster. Although we've not yet had any problems with any patches, I feel pretty confident that we would not be put out of business if a Solaris patch happened to break something critical (unless it were something that didn't show up until after both nodes in the cluster had been patched).
