You've pretty much described my env also. as for your backups that hang at 99 or 100%, have your network guys inspect their FW logs for "drops" with a message like "SYN ACK recieved out of order" or something along those lines. it's probably because your firewall session timeout has expired.

-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Weber, Philip Sent: December 18, 2006 10:38 AM To: NB List Mail Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Firewall setup We've gone firewall-mad over the last couple of years and now pretty much all of our clients are behind at least one firewall from the perspective of the NetBackup servers. In general we open ports 13782, 13724 and 13720 in both directions, to make life simpler. This can be reduced so that only 13782 is open from the DMZ - which is what we do for clients in the "real" DMZ. Set the clients to use vnetd, in the clients tab of the master server properties (or use bpclient). We do occasionally have connection errors and currently have a big issue in our NB 5.1 MP5 environment, with frequent but irregular "hanging backups", where the backup has apparently completed but hangs at 99% or 100%. Seems to be because the final call from the client back to bpbrm is not being received by the media server. Seems to be something in our environment but we are in the process of trying to prove this between Symantec and our Network support team. Also in some cases have firewalls between media/master servers which is a whole new problem... ==================================================================================== La version française suit le texte anglais. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This email may contain privileged and/or confidential information, and the Bank of Canada does not waive any related rights.
