I gave a test run a shot. Ran "bpbkar -nocont -nfsok /foo/bar &> /dev/null"
this took roughly an an hour and 18 minutes and completed successfully. The actual policy ran last night and the same problem occurred as before - the backup stalls and then bpbrm logs a timeout. >From bpbkar... Backup starts at 00:15:23: 00:15:23.804 [29233] **LOCALE ERROR** locale <en_US.ISO8859-1> not found in file </usr/openv/msg/.conf> 00:15:23.804 [29233] <4> bpbkar main: real locales </C/en_US.ISO8859-15/en_US.ISO8859-15/en_US.ISO8859-15/C/en_US.ISO8859-1 > 00:15:23.804 [29233] <4> bpbkar main: standardized locales - lc_messages <C> lc_ctype <en_US.ISO8859-1> lc_time <C> lc_collate <C> lc_numeric <C> 00:15:23.806 [29233] <2> logparams: bpbkar -r 8035200 -ru root -dt 0 -to 36000 -clnt foo.bar.com -class inbound -sched ftpif -st FULL -bpstart_to 300 -bpend_to 300 -read_to 3600 -tir -tir_plus -nfsok -Z -b foo.bar.com_1184307320 -kl 5 -shm Then the thing fails at 04:52:42 with zero errors: 04:52:42.060 [29233] <4> bpbkar compress_file: INF - Compression: 82% /foo/bar/somefile.csv 04:52:42.061 [29233] <4> bpbkar PrintFile: /foo/bar/somefile.csv That's it. No errors. Nothing. bpbrm then fails with a backup timeout from the client. Could this have anything to do with other jobs being queued on the master server? Is there any known issue with doing nfs backups on a master server or something? I'm pretty much out of ideas. -Aaron -----Original Message----- From: ankur kumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 12:14 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] same job keeps hanging 1. check out the bpbkar logs 2. Add VERBOSE = 5 to the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf on the client. Create the /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpbkar directory if it doesn't already exist. Run /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpbkar -nocont DIRECTORY > /dev/null against the directory where the file resides. The above command will cause bpbkar to read the directory and write the output to /dev/null instead of disk or tape. Running bpbkar manually is a good method to verify if bkbkar can read a file without doing an actual backup of the client. Any errors will be logged to the bpbkar log directory.
