Corequirement: NB_BMR_60_4_M
Directives: NBDB_Upgrade NBDB_Recover
================================================================================
This Maintenance Pack provides fixes for Veritas NetBackup (tm) UNIX servers.
NetBackup UNIX Add-on products, Database Agents, and the Java Interface have
separate Maintenance Packs.

The UNIX CLT pack, which is required to be installed with this server pack,
contains a full replacement of all client binaries for all platforms.  The local
CLT binaries for this server may require as much as 50MB of free space in the
/usr partition to install, depending on platform.  If client binaries are being
loaded on a server to be pushed to clients, as much as 400MB of free space may
be required in the /usr partition.

On AIX, installing this UNIX server pack requires more than 1.2GB of free space
in the /usr partition. For more information, please refer to the following
TechNote:    http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/280824

==================
III.  KNOWN ISSUES
==================  

This section contains information about known issues that relate to this release.

-  A failed NetBackup 6.0 MP4 install or uninstall may not rollback properly

  During an install or uninstall process, if a failure occurs, it is normal
  procedure for the installer to stop and begin a rollback operation.  The
  purpose of the rollback is to return NetBackup to your previously installed
  version.

  If a failure occurs during an install or uninstall of this maintenance pack,
  the rollback may not complete properly. The following list describes how you
  can determine if the rollback failed to complete properly:

    - Open your Windows Explorer and verify that the “Product Versions” of the
      files are not named with the current Maintenance Pack name.  For
      example, none of the files should have a product version name of 6.0MP4.

    - After the rollback completes, try starting the EMM service.  If it does
      not run, then the rollback failed.

  If you encounter any of these symptoms and need more information about this
  issue and how to resolve it, refer to TechNote 285743 on the Symantec Support
  Web site. You can also contact your Symantec Support representative for
  assistance on regaining functionality within your system configuration.

-  If you are upgrading from a NetBackup 6.0MP4 Beta to 6.0MP4 GA the services
  may not come up after uninstalling the 6.0 MP4 Beta. However installing the
  upgrade results in the services coming up. To resolve this issue, you should
  disregard the status of services between an uninstall of the 6.0 MP4 Beta and
  proceed with the installation of the NetBackup 6.0 MP4 GA version.

-  Push installations of a maintenance pack client are not supported in a
  clustered environment.  Users must install the maintenance pack on each
  cluster node locally.

-  For Volume Snapshot Provider (VSP) users, a reboot will be required before
  the latest VSP fixes will take effect.

-  On all platforms, if the server pack install fails for any reason after the
  Client pack has completed, be sure not to restart daemons before
  retrying the pack installation.

-  Reminder: Synthetics is not supported on Tru64 platforms.

-  The NetBackup Commands document contains some incorrect information on the
  bplist command.  The following paragraph accurately explains this command.  

   The bplist command shows a list of previously archived or backed up files
   according to the options that you specify. You can choose the file or
   directory and the time period that you want the listing to cover.
   Directories can be recursively displayed to a specified depth.

   The bplist command shows only the files that you have read access to.  It
   lists the files only if a user backup is performed by the user owning the
   files (that is, an administrator account). A non-administrator or backup
   operator cannot bplist the files. You also must own or have read access to
   all directories in the file paths. You can list files that were backed up
   or archived by another client only if you are validated to do so by the
   NetBackup administrator.

   If you create the following directory /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bplist/
   with public-write access, bplist creates an debug log file in this
   directory that you can use for troubleshooting. The output of bplist goes
   to standard output.


Issues that are associated with an ETrack number:
-------------------------------------------------
ET834650  Processes Core on Shutdown
         When shutting down NetBackup using either the "netbackup stop" or
         "bp.kill_all scripts on Linux, nbsl, nbpem, or both may produce a core
         file related to exiting the process.

ET846099  Pem memory leak issue
         There is a small memory leak in nbpem that can become significant under
         the following circumstances:
         - A large number of jobs (thousands) running each day
         - The jobs are run as immediate backups rather than scheduled by nbpem
         - Policies for the jobs contain a very large number of clients
          (hundreds). To avoid this issue, you should periodically restart nbpem.

ET841089  When attempting an NDMP backup of files or data paths that contain
         non-ASCII characters with NetBackup 6.0 GA, 6.0 MP1 or 6.0 MP2, the
         backup could incorrectly exit with a NetBackup Status Code 0, but be
         unable restore the files/directories which contain the non-ASCII
         characters.  For more information about this issue, refer to the
         Symantec Support Web site.

ET849199  The backup of DHCP Windows clients fails when multiple data streams are
         enabled and a backlevel media server is used.  This issue occurs under
         the following circumstances:
         - The client operating system is Windows and a DHCP address is used.
         - Multiple data streams are enabled.
         - The media server is at a back-level (pre-6.0) version.

         To avoid this issue, upgrade the media server to NetBackup 6.0, or
         change the client addressing scheme to static.

ET852905  A problem may occur if a user runs the device configuration wizard
         on a back-level (5,x) media server that has no devices configured and
         no entries in the global device database.  If a library is discovered
         on this host, and the user commits the changes using the wizard, nbemm
         may core dump.  

         To avoid this issue, the user should add a “dummy” drive to that media
         server and they try running the device configuration wizard again.  To
         create the dummy drive, use the following command.

           tpconfig –add –drive –asciiname “dummy” –type dlt –noverify

ET847324  A problem exists that causes bpbrmds to exit unexpectedly and not
         relocate any images.  The problem also causes bpdm to exit unexpectedly
         while processing a disk full condition on a disk staging storage unit.

         The workaround for this problem requires the user to delete selected
         files from the disk staging storage unit.  Normally, disk staging
         storage units have a metafile with a base name “backupid_CX_F1.ds”
         where “X” is the copy number.  This means there will be pairs of files
         like the following:

         beany_1162485014_C1_F1.ds
         beany_1162485014_C1_F1.ds.info

         beany_1162485014_C1_F1.ds.1162485014.img
         beany_1162485014_C1_F1.ds.1162485014.info

         There should be only one pair for each backup ID.  However, in the
         error condition, there will be more than one pair – one in each format.
         It is important that only one of these file pairs exist, not both.

         The workaround is to remove the pair of the second format if, and only
         if, it exists in conjunction with a pair of the first format for all
         backup IDs that have both pairs.

         On UNIX, the user can search for these pairs by running the following
         command with the current working directory in the disk staging storage
         unit:

         $ ls -1 *_F1.ds* | sort

         The sorted listing makes it easy to search for the files by visually
         examining the list.  The size of each file to be deleted will be less
         than 1 KB.

ET847115  The hot catalog backup is failing because of a problem with a string
         that NetBackup passes to the Sybase database.  The database interprets
         this string and changes the occurrences of "\n" to a carriage return.
         It then uses this string to create a file, which fails, causing the
         entire backup to fail.

         This problem will effect Windows users in the following situation:
         - A NetBackup 6.0 version
         - NetBackup is installed in something other than the default path.
         - The installed directory string contains the string "\n" somewhere
           within it.  For example: "c:\my directory\nbu\VERITAS...."
         - User notices that hot catalog backups are failing.

         To avoid this issue, perform the following steps.
         1. Stop NetBackup by stopping the NetBackup services.

         2. Start the Windows registry editor (regedt32.exe)

         3. Navigate to the following node
            HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Paths

         4. Change the existing "SM_DIR" key.  
            This key will be a string (REG_SZ) that contains the NetBackup
            installation path.  Normally it is, C:\Program Files\VERITAS.
            This string will be groups of directory names separated by a path
            separator.  The path separator is identified by the string "${_ps}",
            which will have "\" substituted for it when it is used.  There is
            also an implied separator at the start of the string.

            The problem arises if any one of these directory groups begins with
            a lowercase letter "n".  Some examples would be:
               myDir${_ps}nbu
               nbu
               ${_ps}program files${_ps}nbu${_ps}Veritas

         5. Convert the lowercase letter "n" to an uppercase letter "N".  
            This is safe to do as the Windows operating system is case
            insensitive but case preserving.

         6. Close the registry editor.

         7. Restart the NetBackup services.

IV. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
=============================
** The content of this online Readme supersedes the information in the Readme
contained in the download. **

NOTE: Click on the "Download Now" link, near the bottom of this document
prior to running the following installation procedure for this pack.

Before installing this maintenance pack, please review the following items:
 - Symantec recommends that you perform catalog backups before and after you
   apply this maintenance pack.

 - If you are planning to install this Maintenance Pack as a part of an
   upgrade from a 5.x release then it is important that you understand that the
   existing NetBackup databases must be in a consistent state prior to beginning
   the upgrade. Information and tools to assist you in determining the current
   state of your database, as well as instructions to help you address any
   inconsistencies that you might discover can be viewed on the NetBackup Upgrade
   Portal, a part of the Symantec NetBackup Support Web site.
 http://www.symantec.com/enterprise/support/overview.jsp?pid=15143


 - If you are upgrading from 5.x to 6.0, you must install this Maintenance Pack
   before you run nbpushdata.  Failure to install this Maintenance Pack first
   will result in a failed upgrade.

 - On AIX, do not use a NetBackup GUI running on any other host to monitor the
   NetBackup jobs/processes/daemons/devices on the host being patched during the
   installation.  On AIX this may cause text busy errors to occur during the
   installation.  The safest approach is to not have any GUIs running on remote
   systems which are accessing an AIX host during pack application.


For Maintenance Pack installation on a UNIX Cluster Environment:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Before you install this Maintenance Pack, make sure that NetBackup is at
  release level 6.0 and configured to run in a cluster.

2) Freeze the NetBackup group. (By freezing the group, you will prevent a
  'failover' from occurring during a patch installation).

3) Install this Maintenance Pack on the inactive node(s) of the cluster
  (perform steps 1 through 3 below).

  IMPORTANT: If you are using HP Service Guard and upgrading from a
  pre-NetBackup 6.0 MP4 version, you must complete the installation of
  this pack to the inactive node(s), and then copy the following file from
  an inactive node to the active node before beginning the pack install on
  the active node:

  /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/cluster/util/monitor

4) Install this Maintenance Pack on the active node of the cluster (perform
  steps 1 through 3 below).

5) If the cluster is in a faulted state, clear the fault.

6) Unfreeze the NetBackup group.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


As root on the NetBackup Master Server:

1) Close the NetBackup user interfaces.
  - Make sure the NetBackup server has no active jobs running (for example,
    backups, restores, or duplications).

  - If a database agent is being used, such as Oracle, ensure that the database
    services are stopped.

2) Install NB_60_4_M and NB_CLT_60_4_M Maintenance Pack binaries.

       cd /tmp
       /bin/sh Vrts_pack.install

  NOTE: Selecting the server Maintenance Pack will automatically install the
  client maintenance pack if the client (CLT) .Z file and the README exist in
  the installation directory. The server install will fail if the (CLT)
  .Z file and the README are not present and the CLT pack has not been
  previously installed. The client maintenance pack will NOT be installed
  automatically during a reinstall of the server maintenance pack.  

3) The Vrts_pack.install script will prompt you to restart daemons.
  Otherwise, after the pack installation has completed, run:

       /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup start

4) The pack install logs can be found in /usr/openv/pack/pack.history once the
  installation is complete.

NOTE:  Again, Symantec recommends that you perform catalog backups after you
have applied this maintenance pack.



=========================
V. UNINSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
=========================
Note:  This will ONLY uninstall the Maintenance Pack from your local machine.

1) Close the NetBackup user interfaces.
  - Make sure the NetBackup server has no active jobs running (for example,
    backups, restores, or duplications).

  - If a database agent is being used, such as Oracle, ensure that the database
    services are stopped.

2) Change the directory to the patch save directory.  
  Substitute the pack name for ${PACK} in the following command:

    cd /usr/openv/pack/${PACK}/save

3) Run the un-install script:

    ./Vrts_pack.uninstall

4) Verify that the pack uninstalled successfully by checking:

    /usr/openv/pack/pack.history.

5) If necessary, restart the NetBackup and Media Manager daemons:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup start

Etrack Incident = ET633295 ET617152 ET801824

Description:
   Upgraded the version of Veritas Unified Logging (VxUL) to 1.3.7.2 to
   enable users to recycle VxUL logs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET633395

Description:
   A change has been added that prevents bpduplicate from overwriting the
   heap accounting information and causing the bpduplicate to crash by
   copying a string into destination string that is too small.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET634272

Description:
   Backup of multiple VxFS file systems using NetBackup's Advanced Clients
   Frozen Image Backup method failed in close_vxfs_filesystem() of the
   previous open VxFS checkpoint.

Workaround:
   Backup one filesystem at a time for frozen image backups.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET638325

Description:
   NetBackup log messages no longer show up in the /etc/security/password
   file on AIX systems.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET638699

Description:
   The Policy Execution Manager (PEM) would crash while PEM was shutting down,
   if it was shutting down at the same time a progress log was being updated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET617254 ET617889 ET640121

Description:
   Hot Catalog Backup would not backup images when IDIRSTRUCT equaled 1
   because the code expected the master server had a second or later version
   of the catalog image directory structure, for example, IDIRSTRUCT = 2.
   
   In a UNIX cluster environment, the VAR_GLOBAL_PATH is linked to the shared
   drive. The backup client (such as, bpbkar) does not follow symbolic links
   currently and therefore the files inside the linked directory would not be
   backed up in an online catalog backup.
   
   Excessive bpdbm debug log entries were produced from a Hot Catalog Backup.
   This fix ties the logging of libcatbackup debug messages to the following
   setting.
   
   BPDBM_VERBOSE setting.
   Example of affected log message:
   00:00:02.032 [8398] < 2> db_ImgUnlock: db_ImgUnlock(833d698) error(0)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET636334 ET636411 ET636414

Description:
   The hot catalog backups would fail if the CRYPT_OPTION was set to REQUIRED
   in bp.conf, where it could also be set through the GUI->Host Properties->
   Clients->Encryption tab.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, set CRYPT_OPTION to ALLOWED, which is the default.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET617892

Description:
   For an imported catalog backup image, the command line instruction
   "bprecover -r -nbdb" would not work because the parent image ID was
   missing in imported ASA image header.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, open the imported catalog image header file and
   remove the PARENT_IMAGE_ID line so that the ASA and the catalog backup
   image header files do not contain the field.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET642003
Associated Primary Etracks = ET841985

Description:
   Changes were made to JobIMOMObject::CheckAndUpdateJobInfoData() in the
   NetBackup Service Layer (NBSL) to correct a core dump situation.

Etrack Incident = ET638313

Description:
   The NetBackup Job Manager (NBJM) would crash when it received a message
   from BPTM with a bad copy number.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET638320

Description:
   The NetBackup Job Manager (NBJM) writes un-initialized data to the
   JobParams file. When it reads the file again on a subsequent submission of
   the job, it sometimes crashed because of un-initialized fields in the
   JobParams file.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET638318

Description:
   The NetBackup Policy Execution Manager (NBPEM) submitted a child job with
   the option to inherit resources from the parent job after it released
   resources from the parent job. The NBJM then crashed while trying to get
   the resource from the parent job.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET633983 ET640407

Description:
   Status 25 or 45 backup failures occurred under the following conditions:
   
   -  The master server is running NetBackup 6.0MP3.
   -  The media server is running NetBackup 5.x.
   -  The client is added to the NetBackup client database with the default
      connect options.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, explicitly set the connect_options value in the
   client database to a value that is acceptable for a NetBackup 5.x version.
   Do not use the default values:
   
   admincmd/bpclient -update -client <client_name> -connect_options 0 0 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET621772
Associated Primary Etracks = ET642018

Description:
   Made changes to correct an NBSL core dump issue.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET642010

Etrack Incident = ET630777
Associated Primary Etracks = ET630772

Description:
   A change was made to the Policy Execution Manager to auto retry Vault jobs
   on Status codes EC_vc_EjectFailed (287), EC_vc_EjectPartialSuccess (288),
   and EC_vc_PartialSuccess (306).  If one image failed to duplicate, Vault
   would return a status 306.  Also changed the parent job (nbgenjob) to
   validate the image for a Vault job that returned an error status 306, 287,
   or 288.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET618696

Description:
   The following error would occur when trying to apply a patch when running
   nbdb_upgrade:
   
   Verifying the running version of NBDB ...
   ***** SQL error: Database server not found
   Failed system call, '/usr/openv/db/bin//nbdb_unload -dbn NBDB -s /tmp'
   Verification Failed.
   
   When connecting to Sybase ASA using Open Database Connectivity (ODBC),
   shared memory connections used space in /tmp by default.  If there were
   issues creating files in /tmp, the connection would fail.  To resolve this
   issue, the environment variable, ASTMP, is now set to /usr/openv/tmp.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET636795

Description:
   Added the capability to do a step-wise downgrade of the NetBackup

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET621857

Description:
   Unable to create or modify disk staging storage units using the
   NetBackup-Java Administration Console if a NetBackup 5.x system was
   upgraded to NetBackup 6.0 or if a NetBackup 5.x license key was used
   during a NetBackup 6.0 server installation.  
   
   This pack corrects this issue and enables you to create or modify disk
   staging storage units using the NetBackup-Java Administration Console
   if a NetBackup 5.x system is upgraded to NetBackup 6.0 using the 5.x
   license or you could update to a NetBackup 6.0 license key.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET644627

Description:
   On the active node, if the user has installed this pack on a secure
   VCS Windows cluster environment that has a NetBackup server with EMM,
   and are observing that NetBackup does not come online, the Enterprise
   Media Manager (EMM) database schema did not update properly.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, perform the following steps:
   1. Take the NetBackup Server resource offline.
   2. Freeze the NetBackup Service group.
   3. Make sure that the Adaptive Server Anywhere – VERITAS_NB service is
      started.
   4. Execute the following command.
         <install dir>/NetBackup/bin/nbdb_upgrade.exe –dbn NBDB
   5. Execute the following command.
         <install dir>/NetBackup/bin/admincmd/bpsyncinfo.exe
         -add_paths NETBACKUP_RELATIONAL_DATABASE_FILES
   6. Unfreeze the NetBackup Service group.
   7. Bring NetBackup Server resource back online.
   
   If you have experienced this issue on the install then you will also
   experience it on the uninstall from the active node.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET636799

Description:
   An error would occur when mixing FULL, Differential Incremental, and Vault
   schedules in the "Hot_Catalog" backup policy.  For example, if a Vault
   schedule ran, followed by a Differential schedule (without any other jobs
   running in between the two), the result would be the following:
   
   JobID X = Catalog "Control" Job - Ends with Status 2
   JobID X+1 = Differential Incremental Catalog Job - Ends with Status 227
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET644077

Description:
   In NetBackup 4.5, netbackup.dll was installed in the

Description:
   A change was made so that bpstsinfo correctly passes the
   -filteronimagemodetype flag when used with the -remote flag.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET645645
Associated Primary Etracks = ET645697

Description:
   A condition existed that caused the NetBackup resource Broker (nbrb) to
   core dump under heavily loaded conditions. This problem had occurred
   on AIX and HP-UX. There was lot of locking and unlocking involved in the
   area where the resource broker (RB) sends the resources to the job manager.
   RB was using reverse lock provided by ACE. Either RB was not using the
   lock correctly or there was some issue in the ACE's implementation of
   reverse lock which caused this core dump. To address the issue, the
   lock/unlock logic was simplified.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET617893

Description:
   TIR-enabled backups (including FlashBackup and NDMP) could fail in the
   validation phase of the backup because of a miscalculated file size.  This
   patch provides earlier detection of the error and improved reporting on the
   cause of the error.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET641172

Description:
   Online catalog backups in configurations with cluster 5.x media servers
   were creating a bpbackupdb process that looped infinitely.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET628709

Description:
   A change was made so that EMM now verifies that all nodes in a cluster are
   configured either as masters or media servers.  EMM should not allow
   media-master configurations among the cluster nodes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET646623
Associated Primary Etracks = ET849324

Description:
   The default method for NetBackup ODBC connections to the NetBackup database
   (NBDB)/EMM database is to use shared memory followed by tcpip if shared
   memory fails.  This is controlled by the LINKS=shmem,tcpip{PORT=13785}
   parameter in the database connection string.
   
   On some platforms, there have been intermittent issues with shared memory
   connections to the Sybase ASA database.
   
   To work-around this issue, a new parameter has been aded to the vxdbms.conf
   dfile to set the LINKS parameter in the connection string.  To change this
   parameter to only use tcpip connections, the following line
   was added to vxdbms.conf:
   
       VXDBMS_LINKS = tcpip{PORT=13785}
   
   The vxdbms.conf file is located in /usr/openv/db/data (UNIX) and
   InstallPath\VERITAS\NetBackupDB\data (Windows).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET641145

Description:
   A problem existed that caused, in a few rare cases, f-list files in the
   catstore subdirectories to have a mixed set of UNIX-style and Windows-style
   path separators or even incorrect path entries.  The code currently assumes
   only one style of path separator was being used which caused problems for
   hot catalog backup.
   
   On Windows master servers this results in a partially successful
   (status 1) hot catalog backup job.
   
   On UNIX or Linux master servers this results in a failed (status 67)
   hot catalog backup job on patch levels prior to MP4 and in a partially
   successful (status 1) hot catalog backup job on patch levels MP4 and
   later.  (UNIX or Linux master servers are now consistent with Windows
   master servers in the status for this condition.)
   
   A message similar to the following should be seen in the bpbkar debug log
   if this bug is encountered:
   
   ERR - Unable to expand hot catalog backup directive: CATALOG_BACKUP  

Workaround:
   It is reasonably straightforward to manually identify, edit, and correct
   the offending f-list files to avoid this problem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET593700

Description:
   Added a check so that any backups going to a file system export-enabled
   Nearstore storage unit must have TIR enabled. This is because the
   sts_delete_files process, which is part of the file system export backup,
   requires the TIR data.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET632204

Description:
   Media locations in ACS robotics were not updated properly after dismount
   or during inventory when moving from standalone to robotic.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET644756 ET702144

Description:
   In cases where a user authenticated against a non-root broker a failure to
   load a credential from disk could occur. This would result in false
   negative access checks for users leading to a Backup, Archive, and Restore
   user interface rather than the NetBackup Administration console.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, authenticate against the root broker on the master
   server rather than another broker.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET630539

Description:

Etrack Incident = ET646981

Description:
   The NDMP agent caused a Dr. Watson error and a DUMP file when backing up
   one volume.
   
   This happens only on Windows and only when NDMP logging is enabled.
   The problem is caused by "invalid" mtime/atime/ctime values sent by the
   filer in the file history. This is not a normal situation.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, turn NDMP logging off. This problem only occurs if
   NDMP logging is enabled.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET635017
Associated Primary Etracks = ET635016

Description:
   Due to a memory management issue, the Volume Manager Daemon could

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET646985

Description:
   NDMP backups failed with a status 84 when writing a TIR fragment.
   
   The bptm log showed an error where the expected block position is one off.
   This error occurred in the function write_data_tir().

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, add the following line to the file
   <installdir>/netbackup/db/config/ndmp.cfg
   
       NDMP_MOVER_CLIENT_DISABLE
   
   This will have a minimal impact on backups. However it will cause a
   significant performance impact to dup/verify/import when using
   NDMP drives.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET640207

Description:
   Allow the end user to specify pool numbers when creating a new volume pool.
   A new option (-pnum) was added to the vmpool command to facilitate this.  
   
   The new usage is:
   
   vmpool [-pnum <pool number>] -add <pool_name> "<description>" <host> <uid>
   <gid>
   
   The -pnum option must be specified before the -add option.  The -pnum has
   no effect when the -change option is specified.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET627870

Description:
   The image will not be closed correctly and a data loss will occur during
   duplication or staging where the following is true:
   
   - The destination storage unit (STU) is a volume on a Nearstore with
     version 7.2 of ONTAP.
   - The disk storage unit option for 'enable block sharing' is set.
   
   The first duplication or DSSU_POLICY backup to the Nearstore will complete
   successfully, but subsequent operations using that image (such as, restore
   and incremental backups) will not succeed.

Description:
   The nbpem showed scalability problems because of a recomputation of a
   job’s due-time when not necessary.  In addition, the internal queue
   management was a single thread trying to handle multiple queues, which
   caused long waits to process requests on some of the queues.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET641156

Description:
   Hot catalog backup jobs fail with status 29 on Linux platforms.
   
   In reality the backup did succeed, but the status is not being recorded
   correctly resulting in the failed backup job.
   
   Messages similar to the following will be seen in the admin debug log,
   which show that the internal CLI used for the hot catalog backup job
   did complete successfully:
   
   <2> bpbackupdb: INITIATING: NetBackup 6.0
   <2> logparams: -vxss -pjobid 672 -nodbpaths ...
   <2> bpbackupdb: EXIT status = 0
   
   But as message similar to these in the bpdbm debug log will indicate,
   bpdbm thinks that the CLI operation failed:
   
   <16> exec_vxss_backup: OVsystem(bpbackupdb -vxss -pjobid 672 -nodbpaths ...)
   <16> exec_catalog_backup: exec_vxss_backup() failed (29)

Description:
   Changes were made to fix an NBSL core dump.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET641162 ET649541

Description:
   Some new image data fields added in NetBackup 6.0 were missing in the
   image index file and therefore an online catalog backup job could fail
   if the image index feature was enabled for the master server. (The image
   index feature was enabled by the "bpimage -create_image_list -client
   <master-server-name>" command line utility.)
   
   Running bpexpdate to change the expiration of a phase I imported image
   could cause it to be deleted if the backup spans tapes AND the first
   tape has not yet completed phase II of the import process.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, do not enable the image index feature for the master
   server (for example, do not run bpimage -create_image_list -client
   <master-server-name>"). If the image index feature has already been
   enabled for the master server, apply this patch or contact technical
   support for assistance in disabling the image index feature for the
   master server by removing the IMAGE_* files from the
   /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/<master-server-name> directory to disable
   the image index feature for the master server.

Etrack Incident = ET699915

Description:
   When a backup failed and went from an incomplete to a failed state,

      -  HPIA64
      -  Linux64

Additional Notes:
   To configure and run NetBackup as a VCS clustered application on
   HPIA64 and Linux64 platforms, the base NetBackup must be installed along
   with this patch.  Without this patch, cluster configuration cannot be
   performed on these platforms.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET621934

Description:
   When two or more DSSUs fill up, they are unable to independently reclaim

Etrack Incident = ET703004
Associated Primary Etracks = ET647573

Description:
   If NetBackup Access Control (NBAC) was enabled prior to an upgrade
   from 6.0GA (or 6.0MP1) to 6.0MP2, any non-Administrator, non-root
   users in the NBU_Security Admin Group would lose their Access Control
   privileges after the upgrade.

Workaround:
   There are three workaround options available to you, that you can use
   to avoid this issue:
   
   First workaround option:
   ------------------------
   Add the Non-admin user to the “Security Administrators” group in
   VxAZ.  To do this, perform the following steps:
   
   1.  Open the VxSS user interface (/opt/VRTSat/bin/runvssatgui.sh
   2.  Open the appropriate Authorization Server (top right button).
          Connect to it using root.
   3.  Select the “Authorization Groups” button on the left panel.
   4.  Select the “Security Administrators” group in the tree.
   5.  Select the menu option Authorization > Authorization Groups >
          Add Member.
   6.  Add the non-Admin user using the dialog that appears.
   7.  The non-Admin user should now have the necessary permission.  
          This should not circumvent any other security because this
          user now has security privileges on VxAZ.  If this is not
          appropriate, contact Symantec Support for help in taking other
          other measures, such as read-only access to Security
          information.  
   
          Note:  The non-Admin user SHOULD have permission without
          taking this step.
   
   Second workaround option:
   ------------------------
   Uninstall the VxAZ installation and reinstall.  Re-configure NBAC by
   Running “bpnbaz –SetupSecurity <server>” and the appropriate
   “bpnbaz –AllowAuthorization” commands.
   
   Note:  This option will cause any customization to be lost.
   
   Third workaround option:
   ------------------------
   Only use Admin users for Security Operations.

   that is used for logs.  Prior to this change, the disk could fill with
   log files.  
   
   Previous options available for controlling disk use was available via
   either 1) user intervention with the vxlogmgr –d command, 2) a cron job
   that called vxlogmgr -d, or 3) the ‘Keep Logs’ setting in the
   NetBackup-Java Administration Console.  These options were often inadequate
   because they are time-based pruning, while VxUL log recycling is
   continuous.  Often, time-based pruning has been inadequate because the log
   files filled the disk before the time-based pruning has chance to execute.
   
   For more detailed information about Log Recycling, refer to the following
   TechNote on the Symantec Support Web site.

Etrack Incident = ET766166

Description:
   Block-level incremental (BLIB) backups were not working with the SAP
   database agent.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET768448

Description:
   Could not manually create NDMP or Media Manager storage units using the
   NetBackup-Java Administration console.  Using the bpstuadd –nodevhost
   command would return the message, “Remote Media Servers not allowed for
   NetBackup Server”.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET768441

Description:
   vmphyinv no longer fails while changing media residence.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET769421

Description:
   When selecting the preferred machine name for a cluster node, which will
   be stored in the EMM database, ignore any REQUIRED_INTERFACE entries in
   vm.conf or bp.conf (Registry on Windows).

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, remove the REQUIRED_INTERFACE entries from vm.conf and
   bp.conf (Registry on Windows) before installing NetBackup 6.0.  This only
   pertains to cluster environments.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET768457

Description:
   The nbemmcmd –deletehost command no longer fails if a storage unit is set
   to, "Any Available Host".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET767144
Associated Primary Etracks = ET767131

Description:
   No longer receive “Allocation Failed” errors when trying to connect to the
   Activity Monitor.  This occurred for all users using the Java Activity
   Monitor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET769437

Description:
   A previous change was made to bpduplicate which could in some instances
   result in creating a command string which bpdm could not parse.  This
   caused duplication to fail.  This problem only existed for NearStore
   storage units.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET649747
Associated Primary Etracks = ET648871

Description:
   User-directed archives no longer delete files if warnings are generated
   during the backup portion of the operation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET770672

Description:
   Storage unit changes could cause policy execution manager (PEM) to receive
   unnecessary event notifications which would impact PEM performance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET413513

Description:
   For a policy that used wildcards (such as, *) in the file list and enabled
   multiple data streams, NetBackup would not include any dot files (such as,
   .rhosts) at that directory level in the backup.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET769378

Description:
   If the Hot Catalog Backup encountered an image catalog that was corrupted,
   it would stop the hot catalog backup at that point and finish immediately
   with an error code of 67 (file list read failed).
   
   Now it continues past the corrupted image catalog, and backs up the rest of
   the catalog, and finishes with a partial success status of 1.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, fix the corruption in the image catalog, or take a
   cold catalog backup.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET767294
Associated Primary Etracks = ET763625

Description:
   A new entry "MediaBlockSize" is provided in the nbsl.xml file to configure
   fetch size.  This option is useful for congested TCP/IP networks, where the
   default fetch size of 1000 could fail.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET593547

Description:
   The media_deassign_notify notification script, added to the
   <install_path>/netbackup/bin/goodies directory, will execute if it is
   moved into the <install_path>/netbackup/bin directory.  This script is
   executed every time a media is deassigned.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET774846 ET805115 ET818780 ET831242
Associated Primary Etracks = ET621934

Description:
   On large file systems with a large number of images, disk staging would not
   free space fast enough to prevent concurrent backups from failing with 129
   errors.

Additional Notes:
   When a backup to a disk storage unit with staging completes, the percent
   used is compared with the high water mark. If the percent used is equal to
   or greater than the high water mark, a bpdm process will be invoked which
   will remove staged images until the low water mark is reached.
   
   To disable this behavior, create the "IGNORE_HIGH_WATER_MARK" touch file in
   the netbackup/bin directory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET768910
Associated Primary Etracks = ET763868

Description:
   update_clients did not recognize the invalid parameter Install_java.  A
   change to the parameter check has been made to catch this issue.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET645067
Associated Primary Etracks = ET645064

Description:
   Sun Cluster agent was reporting the following error when failing over the
   resource group.
      “Failed to retrieve the resource type handle: invalid resource type”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET770159

Description:
   To determine the NetBackup server version, bpexpdate, bpdbm, and some other
   components were using bpcd protocol. If one of the servers is down, it may
   take a long time. In addition, the error handling of the failure was not
   appropriate.
   
   A change has been made to fetch the NetBackup server version from the EMM
   database. This is a fast and more reliable way to determine NetBackup
   server versions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET770650

Description:
   Changes have been made to correct various compile warnings.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET776562

Description:
   The Problem’s Report shows, "SO_REUSEADDR failed, errno = 0, No error".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET772419

Description:
   During normal termination using the bpdown command (on Windows), PEM's
   JobScheduler::terminate was not called.  This casued PEM to hang while
   waiting for the Connection Factory to be closed and eventually lead to a
   crash.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET777370
Associated Primary Etracks = ET649531

Description:
   "bpstsinfo -UPDATE" no longer hangs on an exit.

   drives after jobs completed.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET773419

Description:
   Changes were added to fix warning errors when compiling jobmgr on
   HP-UX systems.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET772287

Description:
   Changes were made to fix issues where synth backups were failing when going
   to a File system, export-enabled, NearStore storage unit because they did
   not "admit" to being TIR enabled even if the policy they are run out of is
   TIR enabled.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET768443

Description:
   The user was able to change the pool type of the default none, NetBackup,
   DataStore, and Catalog backup pools.  This fixes the problem from the
   server side.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET776697

Description:
   Duplication failed if VERBOSE=5 was set and the destination storage unit
   was a tape.
   
   This problem was introduced by a previous fix in this pack and does not
   exist in any released software.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, do not set VERBOSE equal to 5.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET770273

Description:
   Wildcard matching in image keywords does not work.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET777616

Description:
   Failing synthetic backups would unintentionally perform a catalog cleanup
   instead of deleting the single failed backup image.
   
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET771311

Description:
   Changes were made to resolve several small memory leaks that were possible
   in infrequently encountered scenarios.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET773473

Description:
   Added support for Linux, Red Hat 4, and SuSE 9, on Power PC from IBM.
   Normal UNIX client support for these client types is also covered with
   this maintenance pack.
   
   File system support is limited to EXT2, EXT3, ReiserFS on SuSE SLES 9, and
   NFS.  Files that are greater than 2 Gigabytes are supported.  Local user
   interfaces are available through the command line or the menu interface
   (using the bp command). Remote access is the same as all other UNIX
   clients.
   
   For the client binaries to be installed from the UNIX patch you must first
   create the following directories:
   
   /usr/openv/netbackup/client/Linux/IBMpSeriesRedHat2.6
   /usr/openv/netbackup/client/Linux/IBMpSeriesSuSE2.6
   
   The binaries for the Encryption licensed feature are available through
   the Encryption patch.  For the Encryption binaries to be installed from
   the UNIX Encryption patch you must first create the following directories:
   
   /usr/openv/netbackup/crypt/Linux/IBMpSeriesRedHat2.6
   /usr/openv/netbackup/crypt/Linux/IBMpSeriesSuSE2.6
   
   For additional information about Encryption, refer to the NetBackup
   Encryption readme.

Description:
   Synthetic Backup no longer fails when a component image spans tape volumes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET774704
Associated Primary Etracks = ET774649

Description:
   Restores of backups for clients that had FlashBackup policies (either alone
   or in combination with other policy types) were slow to become active and
   mount tapes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET770151

Description:
   The “bpexpdate –recalculate –backupid –ret” command correctly changed the
   expiry date of an image, but not the image retention level.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET772390

Description:
   In some scenarios, the NetBackup Resource Broker (NBRB) was orphaning
   resources while waiting for tape span and then deallocating those
   resources. This caused an erroneous job termination.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET775684

Description:
   Vaulting (bpduplicate) failed with the second image in a batch job with a
   “resource request failed” message.

Workaround:
   This problem may occur if images are on media with an ID of less than six
   characters.  To avoid this issue, use six-character media ID’s.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET775681

Description:
   Increased the mount timeout for TLH drives to accommodate drive cleaning by
   the library between mounts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET775677

Description:
   Changes have been made to enable NetBackup to control TLH robotics with up
   to 512 drives.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET775429

Description:
   Changes were made to correct error message for invalid media type mapping.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET775427

Description:
   Changes were added to correct syslog messages to print appropriate
   information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET775428

Description:
   Resolved an issue with the TLD inventory with the empty_map option set by
   correcting the algorithm so that if only the last slot is open, it can
   still be used without failing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET768449

Description:
   Resolved an issue that would not allow you to delete a machine of
   APP_CLUSTER type.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET776667

Description:
   Changes were made to correct various compiler warnings.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET778780

Description:
   A bad configuration could lead to thousands of monitor-provider allocations
   in the database. The resource broker (RB), on startup, may consume a lot of
   memory reading these database entries and may even dump core. Now the RB
   removes all of the monitor-provider allocations at startup.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET775425

Description:
   When downing a drive using the vmoprcmd -downbyname or vmoprcmd –down
   comands, the drive's designated scan path was sometimes set back to "UP".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET775435

Description:
   When a pre-NetBackup 6.0 media server was unassigned a drive that was
   Scanned by a NetBackup 6.0 media server, it was not clearing the
   RVSN/EVSN and Ready fields.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET780083
Associated Primary Etracks = ET780079

Description:
   When changing a drive from not shared to shared using the wizard, and
   the new host (the host that will now make it shared) was running
   NetBackup 5.x, the wizard would fail.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET777630

Description:
   Back-level media servers are not able to DA-release the drives because
   re-registration timers block the request.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET775426

Description:
   The robotic test utility (robtest) would core dump and could not perform
   an unload if multiple paths exist.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET770182

Description:
   Long delays occurred when starting immediate backups because the Policy
   Execution Manager calls getNextJob() when processing immediate requests.
   Removed call to getNextJob() for immediate requests when searching for the
   backup.  It makes the time to find the job n squared instead of n, where n
   is the number of entries in the worklist.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET770337

Description:
   The Policy Execution Manager was using the wrong lock to extract entries
   from the job queue when processing user, archive, or manual backup
   requests.  This issue has been resolved and will no longer result in
   data corruption, a crash, or lost data.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET772631

Description:
   The Job Manager CPU utilization was high while most of the user backup jobs
   were queued. The Job Manager was busy sending WAITING messages to the
   progress logs for the queued, user backup jobs. The WAITING message is sent
   every 30 seconds.  
   
   To resolve this issue, Job Manager was changed to increase the interval
   between these WAITING messages sent to the progress logs.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET770167

Description:
   Because of changes in the startup process with NetBackup 6.0 MP4, the
   Policy Execution Manager can not start jobs until the build worklist is
   complete.  This process can take a long time.  
   
   To compensate for this, the build worklist has been changed to not query
   the last backup or compute the due times so that the list can be built very
   quickly.  After the list has been built it will then synchronize with the
   NetBackup Job Manager so the jobs can be started, followed by the
   calculation of all of the jobs due times.
   
   By dividing the process of how the worklist is built into two steps, jobs
   can be started much sooner.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET770655

Description:
   User backup requests to the Policy Execution Manager appeared to be waiting
   a long time for the worklist lock.  A change was made to the Policy
   Execution Manager to skip the due-time calculation for user, archive, or
   immediate requests.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET781527
Associated Primary Etracks = ET703273

Description:
   Changed the Policy Execution Manager to call the Job Manager restartJob
   Interface which looks at restartSelection setting instead of
   resourceSelection.  When a parent job is resumed, it frees the resource.
   Job Manager failed the job if it looked at the resourceSelection (that is
   set to inherit parent resource) but would work if it used restartSelection
   (that is, set to use standard resource).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET777064

Description:
   The naming convention used by the Sun Solaris Leadville HBA driver has
   changed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET782623

Description:
   A change was made to correct an uninitialized local variable as well as
   remove an unused local variable within the code.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET778981

Description:
   Changes were made to resolve NBPEM memory leaks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET779116

Description:
   NetBackup services NBPEM and NBJM would core dump if an attempt was made to
   Start them on a media server.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET781175
Associated Primary Etracks = ET781185

Description:
   The user-configurable, MEDIA_UNMOUNT_DELAY timeout, was not being honored
   for database agents.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET773564

Description:
   A problem with the command -delete_server_from_app_cluster, made it
   impossible to unconfigure an application cluster and reconfigure it with
   the correct name.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET778908

Description:
   Made multiple Coverity fixes for PEM.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Etrack Incident = ET784803 ET784808 ET784805 ET784804 ET784810 ET792742 ET784809
ET802855

Description:
   Buffer overflow areas have been identified and corrected in daemons running
   on Veritas NetBackup master, media, and client servers.   Successful access
   to a vulnerable Veritas NetBackup server and the ability to successfully
   execute arbitrary code could potentially result in unauthorized access with
   elevated privilege on a system.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET775510

Description:
   A restore of a large backup image would potentially fail if a large number
   of data buffers (for example, 1024) was configured.  The number of data
   buffers is configured on UNIX systems in
   /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS, and for Windows
   systems in <install_path>\NetBackup\db\config\NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this problem, do one of the following:
   
   - Set the number of data buffers to a smaller value (For example, 128).
   
   - Create the following file:
   
       UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/MIN_RESTORE_SKIP
       Windows: <install_path>\NetBackup\db\config\MIN_RESTORE_SKIP
   
       Then enter a number greater than the following:
       (size_data_buffers) * (number_data_buffers) / 512
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET775517

Description:
   Bpbrm would occasionally terminate abnormally without core on a very busy
   media server, which would cause the backup job to hang.  This could only
   happen on UNIX media servers, and not on Windows media servers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET775513

Description:
   Individual file restores would potentially fail in the following
   circumstance:
   
   - The original backup was done using Inline Copy, and at least one of the
        copies was disk, and the backup was multiplexed.
   - The backup had multiple fragments for the disk copy.
   - A duplicate from a disk copy to tape was performed, and the source and
        destination storage units are on the same machine.
   - The restore is from the duplicated disk copy.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, create the following file on the master server:
   
   For UNIX Systems:
   /usr/openv/netbackup/NOSHMDUP
   
   For Windows Systems:
   
   <installed_path>\NetBackup\NOSHMDUP
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET771553

Description:
   The NBPEM uses write locks instead of read/write locks to enhance
   performance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET770349

Description:
   bprd and nbpem now exchange user backup startup parameters through the
   use of a file named with a GUID instead of a process PID, eliminating the
   possibility that the same filename will be used twice.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET774791

Description:
   A missing log message was added for when FFREADtries are exceeded.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET775512

Description:
   Verify, duplication, or import operations are not able to browse
   images from the Windows NetBackup Remote Administration Client.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, run the following command on the Remote Administration
   Client:
   
   <install_path>\volmgr\bin\vmglob -set_gdbhost <master server>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET781618
Associated Primary Etracks = ET771576

Description:
   Destination media may incorrectly get unmounted and a new media chosen when
   duplicating multiple images.  This can occur when duplicating a mixture of
   multiplexed and non-multiplexed backups.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET775591
Associated Primary Etracks = ET789993

Description:
   The image file created for the parent job, while multi-streaming, was not
   being validated. This would later cause status 200 failures.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET785921
Associated Primary Etracks = ET783614

Description:
   Duplication was failing after successfully duplicating the first image.
   This occurred because the server name in bp.conf file was different from
   what was in the EMM database.

Etrack Incident = ET770157
Associated Primary Etracks = ET794596

Description:
   The cleanup process intermittently failed to remove image header files on
   busy systems.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, ignore the reported error and let a subsequent cleanup
   process delete the file.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET783401

Description:
   Restarting the device daemons on pre-NetBackup 6.0 media servers after a
   device configuration change would inadvertently unregister the host with
   the device allocator (DA).

Description:
   Made multiple Coverity fixes for the NetBackup Job Manager (NBJM).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET771614

Description:
   Improved the nbpem performance when reading the failure history database.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET777662

Description:
   Trying to change a configured device to partially configured on a
   pre-6.0 media server in the device configuration wizard, may sometimes
   cause devices to become "DISABLED" for a NetBackup 5.x media server.
   For NetBackup 5.x media servers, there is no concept of "DISABLED".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET776871

Description:
   Duplications would fail with status codes of 114 or 800.  This occurred
   when media with mixed multiplexed and non-multiplexed backups were
   duplicated, and when using multiplexed duplication.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET778815

Description:
   The nbpem restarts it’s timer for the next housekeeping activity only after
   the previous housekeeping activity has completed

   Generic jobs would not start when a large number of them were initiated in
   quick succession on Windows.
   
   NetBackup Job Manager (NBJM) was changed to start an extra nbproxy on
   startup that is used by all nbgenjob's.  The only exception is that a
   catalog backup job will start its own nbproxy because a cancel is
   implemented by shutting down the nbproxy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET790041
Associated Primary Etracks = ET790038

Description:
   Generic job exited after a few retries when the Policy Execution Manager
   did not respond to pings. The parent job would exit with a status 50 and
   the children exits with a status 801.
   
   To resolve this issue, a change was made to genericjob that forces it to
   ping forever until the Policy Execution Manager responds or is restarted,
   or an OBJECT_NOT_EXIST exception is returned.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET786951
Associated Primary Etracks = ET781181

Description:
   The Policy Execution Manager would core dump on a resume due to not copying
   last schedule used when the job was being deleted.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET786406
Associated Primary Etracks = ET784164

Description:
   A problem existed in the "Media and Device Management > Media" section of
   the Windows Administration Console and the Java user Interface.  Whenever a
   tape holds more than 2 Terabytes of data on it, the Kbytes number in the
   "Kilobytes" column displays as a -ve number.

Description:
   The install was starting the ASA database service on non-EMM media servers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET787586 ET786594 ET790483

Description:
   The NetBackup service layer (NBSL) would crash when connected from a
   user interface or NetBackup Operations Manager (NOM).  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET789695

Description:
   Adding a cleaning tape from the user interface would result in a “bad
   Cleanings” remaining number.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET772403

Description:
   Formatting of jobid in log files has been normalized to "jobid=" in all
   reasonable cases.  This format agrees with the use of context as well.  
   In some places where stringstreams were used to format jobid, an
   .imbue(std::locale("C")) was added to prevent localized formatting of large
   integers.  For more information about this change, refer to the following
   TechNote on the Symantec Support Web site.

   When time falls back because daylight savings time ends, jobs may run
   1 hour late.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET790574

Description:
   When attempting to create a Vault profile on the Java user interface, the
   Make Primary Checkbox was not functioning properly.  If this was used on a
   storage unit in the Duplication Rule Dialog, it would not be written
   correctly in vault.xml file.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Etrack Incident = ET792594
Associated Primary Etracks = ET646858

Description:
   The NetBackup Resource Broker (NBRB), under heavily loaded conditions with
   many media servers, would take about 30 seconds to give resources to the
   job.
   
   To fix the problem the following improvements have been made:
   
   -  Improved drive cache in RB (RB no longer links with emmlib).
   -  If the maxmpx in the request is 1, do not try to join it to any group.
   -  Delete all MonitorProvider allocations using a single SQL statement.
   -  Prioritize the requests based on the birth time too.
   -  Some miscellaneous improvements.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET644674 ET427279
Associated Primary Etracks = ET644671

Description:
   The cluster_config script was failing when a fully qualified domain name
   was used as the virtual name.  In addition, deleting and then re-adding
   robot daemons using cluster_config -r caused the cluster monitoring to
   fail.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET777893

Description:
   Changed the Policy Execution Manager to not exit the application
   if the restart request could not be satisfied because of a malloc failure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET792609
Associated Primary Etracks = ET764790

Description:
   The tpconfig command would fail with the following error when the range
   of the CLIENT_PORT_WINDOW parameter was set between 1025 to 5000, for
   example.
   
   "EMM interface initialization failed, status = 77"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET786617 ET631392

Description:
   bpsturep and bpstuadd did not have Nearstore version checking that was
   present in the user interfaces. This brings them to the same level.
   It is not permissible to configure an SOI storage unit on a ONTAP 7.1.x
   Nearstore. (Refer to TechNote 282929 on the Symantec Support Web site for a
   more detailed explanation.)  It is also not permissible to have a Nearstore
   staging storage unit that has any type of SIS (SOI or FSE) enabled for
   ONTAP 7.2 and higher Nearstores.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET765029
Associated Primary Etracks = ET763562

Description:
   The hot catalog backup feature did not work with images that had been
   archived using the catalog archiving feature.  Prior to this fix, if the
   catalog archiving feature had been used to archive images, the backup job
   generated from a hot catalog backup policy would fail with a status 67
   on a UNIX or Linux master server and with a status 1 (partially
   successful) on a Windows master server.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET791570

Description:
   Added a call to nbproxyreq in a NetBackup script in case the nbproxy
   commands are not shutting down gracefully.

Description:
   bpclntcmd no longer fails on HP-UX systems with the following error.
   
   "_main() not called"  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET789170
Associated Primary Etracks = ET702600

Description:
   Vault duplication jobs were forcing a dismount/re-mount of media in drives
   while processing a batch of images on a tape. This was happening because
   more than one duplication job was active at the same time in the system
   and the media and device selection (MDS) was asking the resource broker
   (RB) to unload drives so that the other job could use it.  Now the
   duplicate writer is not unloaded if told by MDS to do so.
   
   If you want pre 6.0MP4 behavior, you can create the following touch file:
      <install_path>/netbackup/db/config/RB_UNLOAD_DUP_WRITER_ON_DEMAND.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET792327 ET792328 ET803918 ET808971 ET843451 ET847076

Description:
   A logic error has been identified and corrected in daemons that run on
   Veritas NetBackup master, media, and client servers.  Successful access to
   and manipulation of this logic error could potentially lead to arbitrary
   command execution with elevated privileges on a vulnerable system.
   
   For customers who need to back out this patch and want to automate the
   down-rev process on their clients using the Update_clients script can
   contact Support to obtain a revised bpinst file for their respective
   version.
   
   The following scenarios do NOT require a new bpinst from Support:
   
   - If you are downgrading to 50MP7 or higher, 51MP6 or higher,
       or 6.0MP4 or higher.
   
   - If you are running Windows on your server.
   
   - If you are only downgrading any of the following addons:
     - DB agents (DB2, Lotus Notes, Oracle, SAP, Sybase, or Informix)
     - Encryption (all key lengths)
     - Java
     - Advanced Client
     - BMR master or BMR boot server
     - NDMP
     - Vault
     - GDM (5.x only)
     - Advanced Reporter (5.x only)
     - NetBackup Operations Manager (6.0 only)
     - Storage Migrator
     - Japanese or Chinese Language Packs

Etrack Incident = ET795443
Associated Primary Etracks = ET794631

Description:
   If a hot catalog backup policy (policy type NBU_Catalog) was set up for
   a UNIX clustered NetBackup master server that included the Vault option
   and the /usr/openv/netbackup/vault/sessions directory was a link pointing
   to the shared drive in the cluster configuration, then the data in the
   sessions directory was not properly included in the catalog backup image.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET795533 ET795523
Associated Primary Etracks = ET618799 ET791036

Description:
   bptm would erroneously log an error, (either an error code 95 or an error
   code 97), during image expiration.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET792470

Description:
   nbproxy and nbgenjob had unnecessary CPU utilization because additional
   logging operations were enabled.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET784640

Description:
   Changes were added to fix a memory leak in the PEM logging.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET792282

Description:
   In some cases, if the resource broker (RB) was not shut down cleanly,
   backups would not run until nbrbutil -resetAll was run.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET794270

Description:
   Script-based BLI backups were not cleaning up checkpoint files properly.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, you can manually delete the checkpoints using the
   fsckptadm command.  For example, fsckptadm remove <ckpt-name> <mountpoint>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET795345

Description:
   Memory was being read after being freed in the job scheduler's work list.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET796051

Description:
   Changes were made to correct a minor logic error.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET610398

Description:
   When a suspended job is resumed, the bytes count and the file count in the
   activity monitor job display is no longer incorrect.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET778923

Description:
   When a job was retried immediately, the job status of the previous try
   was lost.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET631436

Description:
   A problem existed that caused NOM to not show bprd and bpdbm.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET777860

Description:
   Changes were made to clean up the following Policy Execution Manager tasks:
   -  Switched data types from int to bool if used as a boolean.  
   -  Added error checking to the job submission queue to fix a memory leak.
   -  Changed the Policy Execution Manager to return the status
         EC_backup_error or EC_malloc_failed if an error is encountered
         starting child jobs for a parent job.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET796104

Description:
   A race condition occurred when two add_files queries were received
   simultaneously and both attempted to create the catstore folder.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET784650
Associated Primary Etracks = ET829340

Description:
   NetBackup communication between components that were separated by a
   firewall did not work.  For instance, when a master server was behind the
   firewall and a media server was outside the firewall, all communication
   from the master server had an internal host address that was not accessible
   from outside systems.
   
   This is the same when clients and other services are in question.  

Additional Notes:
   To activate NAT address replacement, systems outside of the firewall should
   have the FIREWALL_IN parameter specified in their bp.conf/registry.
   
   Format:  FIREWALL_IN=hostname1,nat_address1|hostname2,nat_address2|...
   
   Where: <hostname> is the name of the host system that needs to be accessed
   and <nat_address> is the actual NAT address for the firewall to do
   forwarding.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET795448

Description:
   Changes were made to not send Storage Unit Events when only updating
   capacity information.  Too many of these events were being generated and
   impacting performance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET793447

Description:
   Changes have been made to reduce the bpdbm CPU consumption by doing fewer
   things on exit of child bpdbm processes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET795436 ET796505 ET801859
Associated Primary Etracks = ET794344

Description:
   VSP files would sometimes get deleted when they were needed to resume an
   incomplete or suspended stream.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET795374 ET814653

Description:
   BPTM failed a job with a 174 error when it should retry the
   resource allocation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET797992

Description:
   NetBackup 5.x media servers fail when running tpautoconf -sync, if the
   global database host is a 6.0 server.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, delete the device configuration on the 5.x media
   server and reconfigure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET781386

Description:
   There may be cases where configuring either shared libraries or shared
   drives does not perform the necessary device configuration updates on all
   hosts.  For example, if host A has drive D1 configured, and then the wizard
   is used to configure host B, host B will have the drive added as shared,
   but host A's configuration will not be updated.  This results in two hosts
   scanning the drive.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, do the following:
   -  Always use the wizard to configured devices.
   -  Always scan all media servers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET797150
Associated Primary Etracks = ET797162

Description:
   The bptm process no longer crashes while duplicating data that has True
   Image Restore (TIR) information associated with it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET797080

Description:
   When the parent job does stream discovery the
   getRealAndVirtualPolicyByName() gives an error and sometimes fails
   because the sig library was not initialized.  Currently the sig library
   is only initialized for catalog backups instead of for all backup types.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET802582
Associated Primary Etracks = ET793913

Description:
   The NetBackup Java user interface no longer displays “square box”
   characters in the Media “Side” column for the second AcsLsm.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET796480

Description:
   Backup jobs would occasionally fail with error status 26 (client/server
   handshaking failed).  The bpbrm log would show the following:
   
   08:34:12.336 [2764.3504] <2> bpbrm multiplexed_backup: calling
   read_media_msg for media manager PID.
   08:34:42.618 [2764.3504] <2> bpbrm read_media_msg: media manager pid 0 is
   not alive
   08:34:42.618 [2764.3504] <16> bpbrm multiplexed_backup: cannot get PID of

Description:
   The NBJM threads block while calling the proxy for BPDBM requests.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET794326

Description:
   Changed a strncpy to a V_strlcpy to prevent the string not being null
   terminated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET797363

Description:
   Increased the connection cache size for nbjm to reduce number of
   Communication retries by bptm.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET784514

Description:
   Synthetic backups no longer fail with the error message, "termination
   requested by bpcoord(665)".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET797083

Description:
   The parent job no longer core dumps upon exiting an application when trying
   to log a VxUL message after an orb shutdown.  The parent job was modified
   to remove all VxUL messages that are being logged after an orb shutdown.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET797388 ET798930

Description:
   Multiple backups for the same client and policy that were started at the
   same time created a situation where an image was being validated at
   the same time the previous backup for the client and policy was being
   validated.
   
   One of the final steps in image validation is to go back through previous
   backups for the client and policy and update the TIR meta data to allow TIR
   data to be pruned.  However, since the previous backup for the client and
   policy was still being validated, it could not be updated and the following
   log message (and error report entry) were generated:
   
   17:27:33.723 [11812] <16> get_last_backup_lock: Bad image header:
   many-non-multi-stream_1158100028_FULL, error: file read failed (13)
   
   bpdbm was exiting with a normal status, so the backup was successful.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, wait before starting backups for the same client and
   policy.

Additional Notes:
   With this change, any failures in updating tir meta data in image
   validation will result in a conditional success for the backup job.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET797999 ET797370

Description:
   Changes were made to clarify error message that may have been unclear.
   This involved no functional change.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET796292

Description:
   Pending messages were not displayed in the Activity Monitor for spanned
   backups.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET798366

Description:
   EMM now logs a more accurate disk space message when space is below
   the threshold.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET796332

Description:
   Changes were made to bpbrmds to eliminate core dumps when performing a
   manual or scheduled relocation of a DSSU on media servers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET800221

Description:
   Parent images have no associated .f file, and as a result have a file count
   of zero.  When images with a zero file count are validated, a function to
   tally the number of files is called.  This function should not be called
   when there is no associated .f file.  The logic to determine whether there
   is an associated .f file has been corrected.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET800184
Associated Primary Etracks = ET798913

Description:
   Resolved an issue that caused, "Frequent status code 805 - invalid jobid,"
   errors to occur.

Additional Notes:
   This condition occurred when children jobs were retired due to exceeding
   the time allowed in incomplete state.  The parent job being resumed either
   manually or automatically resulted in an 805 error due to the job having
   a jobid of -1.  This fix prevents the child from starting since it is not
   resumable.  The new result will correctly be a 200 error if no children
   can be started.  An indication of this will be written to the pem log.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET801046

Description:
   The job monitor would cancel the catalog backup job after 20 minutes.
   The nbgenjob ping interval to the job manager was changed to three minutes
   to keep the job from being cancelled.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET799129

Description:
   The synthetic backups were not scheduling correctly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET800016

Description:
   The nbpem would core dump because getECmsgl was not thread safe.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET802987

Description:
   A Hot Catalog Backup of a large catalog with a large number of files can
   sometimes end up in a deadlock between the NetBackup UNIX agent bpbkar and
   the NetBackup media server process bpbrm.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET803630

Description:
   Changes were added to correct an issue that casued the resource broker (RB)
   to hang at startup.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET799867

Description:
   The Policy Execution Manager inefficiently processes policy change
   notifications when performing housekeeping tasks which may slow job
   submission.  This inefficiency can occur from the user interface if the
   user selects all policies and then activates or deactivates the list of
   policies.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, do not generate a large number of policy changes all
   at once before a window opens. Instead, amortize them over time to limit
   the impact on the Policy Execution Manager.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET800184
Associated Primary Etracks = ET798913

Description:
   The jobid of a child checkpoint restart job would be set to -1 when
   a 196 status occurred.  The result was an 805 error if the parent was
   resumed because the jobid -1 gets resumed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET804921

Description:
   The calendar schedule would not run when the available window spanned
   across the specified day.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET805146

Description:
   The NetBackup Job Manager (NBJM) was checking the connection to the proxy
   before reading the global configuration to obtain attributes such as,
   max vault jobs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET805407

Description:
   The policy monitor would show as being down in Initial Data Load status
   page.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET800841

Description:
   Sometimes manual jobs would not start through either the user interface
   or the command line. This would happen if PEM lost connection with NBJM.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET804850

Description:
   An issue that caused catalog backups to hang on a retry have been fixed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET805807

Description:
   Cancelling an incomplete job that failed with a 196 error, then restarting
   nbpem would cause the job to show as done in the Activity Monitor.
   However, if the job is set to done in the Activity Monitor, a retry or
   resume of the active job will not show up in the Activity Monitor.

Workaround:
   If there are checkpoint restart jobs that show as complete but have a
   status of 196 and pem needs to be restarted, remove the pempersist file
   before pem is started again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET806779

   A timer was scheduled for a backup job even when throttling was not
   configured.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET806051

Description:
   NetBackup Maintenance Pack upgrades were failing on the active node of an
   HP ServiceGuard cluster, due to the package monitor offlining the package
   even with switching disabled.  The capability to freeze the cluster agent
   monitoring by touching a file (/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/cluster/frozen)
   was added.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description:
   The bpinet services on media servers were being reported as an
   "unknown" status in NOM.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET806990

Description:
   Service credentials had expired and because of that, the NOM client was
   unable to log into the NOM server.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, you can renew the credential using the command line
   interface provided by vssat.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET803649

Description:
   Jobs would queue indefinitely, following a media server reset while
   pending resource requests were outstanding.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, restart the resource broker, or run nbrbutil -resetall.

Description:
   The SharePoint Portal, when configured with a network name in a network,
   load-balanced, medium farm configuration, would not relink the portal
   databases after a restore.

Additional Notes:
   Please refrain from using a local IP address when configuring portals and
   team sites. SharePoint communicates to all the load-balanced, front-end
   servers to get information about the Portal/Team Site when they are backed
   up or restored. If there is a Portal/Team Site that is tied locally to one
   of the load-balanced servers, then other front-end servers will not be
   cognizant of the local names. It will result in backup and restore failures
   for the local portals and team sites.
   
   Please use fully qualified domain names or IP addresses (such as,
   http://10.80.138.80 instead of http://vitualportal) when configuring
   portals and team sites with a network name in a network, load-balanced
   environment. A SharePoint application generates exceptions when virtual
   servers that are specified that cannot be resolved by the application while
   committing and reconnecting the restored databases. These errors can be
   tracked with the help of tar logs in NetBackup\logs\tar on the database
   client and spswrapper log files in NetBackup\logs\spps folder in the
   sharepoint front end servers.
   
   The workaround for this scenario is to use the IP address while
   configuring the portal/team sites or restoring/reconnecting the databases
   to the portal/team site using the SharePoint 2003 administration console
   after the NetBackup restore has completed.

Etrack Incident = ET774674

Description:
   When a bad drive or bad tape is mounted and the mount fails, the Media and
   Device Selection (MDS) will down the drive and retry using other
   drives/media.  If this happened to be the scan host for this drive, MDS
   would not clear the scanning assignment.  Subsequently the device allocator

Etrack Incident = ET828665

Description:
   A problem that occurred when the following conditions existed has been
   fixed:
   
   1) The schedule associated with the DSSU initiates relocation operations.
   2) All completed images on the DSSU have already been relocated.
   3) New, uncompleted images are in the process of being written to the
      DSSU because of new backup operations.
   
   There were no images that could be relocated and the job terminated with
   an error status of 190.  No errors had actually occurred but the resultant
   messages gave the user the impression that something was wrong.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Etrack Incident = ET829683
Associated Primary Etracks = ET814470

Description:
   Empty paths on file entries were causing backups to fail with a status 1
   and an entry in the bpdbm log similar to the following:
   
   11:29:18.781 [5216.3708] <32> add_files: File:
   v:\src\common\libcatalog\nbe_string.h Line: 434: null pointerFunction:
   utf8_strlen
   
   With this patch, the backup will still fail if a null or empty path is
   detected, but an entry similar to the following will appear in the
   NetBackup error report:
   
   A null or empty path was provided for policy1_1160000001_FULL at entry 2501

Additional Notes:
   A null or empty path string is usually caused by a failure in the client
   device.  Check for patches from the device manufacturer to address the
   root cause.
   
   There is a known issue with NetApp filers configured for Chinese locales
   that produces this problem.  NetApp has a file history patch that addresses
   the issue:
   
   NetApp Bug ID: 195779    
   Title: NDMP DMA shows no file names after a backup with 7.0.x    
   
   Description:
   
   Empty NFS pathnames will be returned in the file history for non-ASCII  
   filenames if the root volume's language is not set to C/POSIX or    
   the language setting of the volume being backed up differs from the  
   root volume's language setting.  
   
   Workaround:
   
   Make sure the language setting of the root volume matches that of  
   the volume being backed up.

Etrack Incident = ET805843

Description:
   bpdbm uses the notification service to notify the PEM and JM components
   when policies are updated.  When the call to the notification service
   failed, the bpdbm child process would terminate with little information on
   the cause of the failure.  With this patch, the cause of the failed call to
   the notification service will be logged, and an entry will be made in the
   NetBackup error report for the termination of the child bpdbm process.

Etrack Incident = ET831242

Description:
   On large file systems with a large number of images, disk staging would not
   free space fast enough to prevent concurrent backups from failing with 129
   errors.  (Refer also to ET774846.)

Additional Notes:
   When a backup to a disk storage unit with staging completes, the percent
   used is compared with the high water mark. If the percent used is equal to
   or greater than the high water mark, a bpdm process will be invoked which
   will remove staged images until the low water mark is reached.
   
   To disable this behavior, create the "IGNORE_HIGH_WATER_MARK" touch file in
   the netbackup/bin directory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET831331
Associated Primary Etracks = ET829395

Description:
   The bpduplicate command would fail, resulting in a core dump.  This would

Etrack Incident = ET834952

Description:
   When a longer frequency backup (such as a full backup) for a client failed
   and could not be retried due to an exceeded failure history, nbpem would
   initiate a shorter frequency backup, if one was configured and due at the
   same time (such as an incremental). This job would also be retried if it
   failed.
   
   A change was made to the failure history to resolve this issue.

Description:
   bpmedialist -mcontents command terminated abnormally without notifying NBJM.
   The job was declared abandoned after a while. As a result, NBJM failed on

Etrack Incident = ET839365
Associated Primary Etracks = ET829855

Description:
   The status backup report would report no data or it would report data only
   with the wrong hostname.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET844039

Description:
   In some instances, it is possible for a media server to have a robotic
   drive configured but no corresponding robot entry in the database.  In this
   case, the device monitor request to the database is "short-circuiting".  In
   other words, whatever has been retrieved up until the offending record is
   displayed, subsequent data is lost.
   
   The fix for this problem is to mark the drive as "AVR" control and continue
   normally.  Therefore, if such a configuration occurs, these drives will
   always have a status of robot DOWN.  If you see this, you need to make sure
   that the host for the "AVR" drive path has a robotic entry which matches
   the drive's residence.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET844043

Description:
   When device configuration changes are made, occasionally this will require
   that all hosts sharing a drive, be restarted.  Previous to this patch, the
   device monitor is showing "RESTART" for all the paths - even those paths on
   hosts that have had their Device Management Service or Daemon restarted.
   This patch changes the device monitor so that the RESTART status is
   displayed only for the paths on hosts whose Device Manager have not yet
   been restarted.  
   
   NOTE: NetBackup may still not use this drive until all hosts' Device
   Manager have been restarted.
   
   In addition, the unsupported option for vmoprcmd "-reset_ltid_restarted_bit"
   has been changed so that it works on back-rev media servers.  Also, a new
   option "-get_host_restart_list" has been added to provide a list of all
   the hosts for which NetBackup is waiting to have the Device Manager
   restarted.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET842109

Description:
   After executing bpdown or NetBackup stop, the bpdbm cleanup process was  
   continuing to run. It was attempting to notify other processes that were
   terminated.  With this fix, the bpdbm cleanup process checks the status of
   the parent bpdbm process and terminates the cleanup if the parent bpdbm
   process has been terminated.

Workaround:
   To resolve this issue, make sure cleanup is not running before you shut
   down NetBackup.  You can so this by running bpps and looking for a child
   bpdbm process, or by inspecting the bpdbm log for Q_IMAGE_DELETE queries
   that have not finished.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET843993
Associated Primary Etracks = ET795418

Description:
   It was possible to create a media server and cluster with the same name.
   However, depending on which one was used first could create problems at

   To avoid this issue, clean the database with the nbemmcmd command or
   direct SQL.

Additional Notes:
   Refer also to ET602232.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET614666 ET613688

Description:
   If catalog compression was used on a UNIX master server, the bpdbm
   process would not remove client images properly during catalog cleanup if
   those images were compressed.
   
   Over time, the disk space consumed by these images that were not removed
   properly during catalog cleanup can be significant, although the exact
   amount of extra disk space is highly dependant on retention level and
   catalog compression configurable settings.  (This problem does not affect
   Windows master servers.)

Additional Notes:
   Avoiding a "disk full" condition by having sufficient available disk space
   for the image catalog prevents any operational problems.
   
   If NetBackup 6.0 has been in use for some time and this problem has been
   encountered, it is possible that the disk space consumed by the image
   catalog (the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images directory) will shrink
   noticeably the first time that catalog cleanup is run after this fix is
   applied.  Because this is an expected result of applying this fix, do not
   be concerned about this reduction in disk space consumption, no usable
   files have been deleted.
   
   Symantec recommends that a current catalog backup be completed and
   available for recovery before applying the fix in case something unexpected
   happens and there is a need to recover the catalog from the current catalog
   backup image be encountered.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET615534

Description:
   Jobs would fail with a status 25 because bptm could not communicate with
   nbjm on the master server when going through a firewall.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, configure the firewall so that it will wait a longer
   time before closing idle connections.

Additional Notes:
   Refer also to ET609217.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET615304

Description:
   Fixed a problem that caused the NetBackup Policy Execution Manager (nbpem)

   started.  

Additional Notes:
   Refer also to ET615305 and ET200604.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET615531

Description:
   The MEDIA_UNMOUNT_DELAY function was not always honored for standalone

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET615646

Description:
   The Windows Backup, Archive and Restore user interface did not display all
   images for restore (the older backup images were not displayed).  Also,
   when browsing a client which has a large number of non-standard backups,
   bprd would core dump.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, use the Java user interface and manually select the
   start date to browse older images.

Additional Notes:
   Refer also to ET579399.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET589069

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET614778

Description:
   Tracing messages that should appear at level 6 would appear at level 5 and
   make the logs less readable.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET614736

**Description:
   The Enterprise Media Manager (EMM) server uses a relational database to
   store media and device configurations.  When the file system runs out of
   disk space, the relational database files that the EMM database uses can
   become corrupt.  This can cause the EMM database to fail to start and
   cause backups to fail on the master server.  To correct this situation,
   the EMM server process monitors disk space and safely shuts down the
   EMM database in the event of a disk-full condition.  

Additional Notes:
   Refer also to ET392256.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET615287

**Description:
   Changes were made to the retention levels in Host Properties to resolve
   issues that affected the Retention mapping settings in VAULT.  This change
   corrects a potential data loss issue for Vault customers who use the Vault
   retention mappings feature via the user interface.  For additional
   information, refer to TechNote 282996, on the Symantec Support Web site.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, disable the use of the Vault retention mappings.  

Additional Notes:
   This is a data loss issue that could cause vaulted media to expire sooner
   than might be expected.  Again, refer to TechNote 282996 for additional
   details.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET616343

Description:
   Media will now be deallocated after a failed multiple copy backup and

Additional Notes:
   Refer also to ET536641.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET618092

Description:
   NetBackup Policy Execution Manager (nbpem) crashed because of problems
   with the pem persist file read and write.  

Additional Notes:
   When reading the pem persist file, the first line that could be read was
   shifted off by 1 character.  This could cause inconsistencies in the first
   job in the file and occasionally even a crash.
   
   Refer also to ET543123.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET614250

Description:
   Jobs would sometimes not run when they were scheduled to run.  

Additional Notes:

Etrack Incident = ET613657

Description:
   All Windows BMR Boot Servers now contain a new wizard to assist in
   creating a CD image to be used for the Fast Restore feature.  

   This new feature is an exciting fast-windows-restore feature to the Bare
   Metal Restore (BMR) option.  This feature can perform a complete restore
   of a Windows system in as little as 15 minutes.  This feature means it is
   no longer necessary to create DOS-based floppies or CDs.   In addition,
   this new feature enables BMR to operate in a low-infrastructure mode,
   where the BMR Boot Server, Windows Shared Resource Tree, and the
   Prepare-To-Restore step are no longer mandatory to restore a Windows
   System.  

   For a description of how to use this new feature, along with feature
   requirements and limitations, please refer to the Symantec TechDoc #283726.
   This document can be accessed on the Symantec Support Web site using the
   following URL:

Etrack Incident = ET425117

Description:
   Potential access violations, due to a (possibly) incorrect printf argument
   list, are now averted.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET425322

Description:
   There were a few instances in the code where the image query protocol
   version was set to 0, which was a pre-NetBackup 5.0 image version ID.
   Some image queries would fail if the size of the total data being backed
   up was larger than 2 Terabytes in one job.
   
   This issue has been corrected, thus enabling image queries on backups
   greater than 2 Terabytes to work properly.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET427178

Description:
   When sharing tape drives between media servers running both NetBackup 6.0
   and NetBackup 5.x, a problem existed with the NetBackup 6.0 Scan Hosts.
   If the drive being scanned was assigned to a NetBackup 5.x media server,
   then the NetBackup 6.0 Scan Host might not stop scanning.  This resulted
   in SCSI reservation conflicts and DOWN'ed drives on the NetBackup 5.x
   assigned host.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, do not share drives between media servers running
   different versions of NetBackup.  Instead, pool your drives such that all
   of your NetBackup 5.x media servers share one pool of  drives and all of
   your NetBackup 6.0 media servers share a pool of different drives.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET428597

Description:
   When running multi-streamed Windows Open File Backup backups to back up
   open or active files, some Volume Snapshot Provider (VSP) cachefiles in the
   format of, _vxfiVspCacheFile_1.VSP, may be left behind by backup jobs that
   have already completed. This does not occur with non-streamed backup jobs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET429921

Description:
   When upgrading from NetBackup 5.x to NetBackup 6.0, the
   NETBACKUP_RELATIONAL_DATABASE_FILES directive was not added to the list of
   files included in cold catalog backup.  The command, bpsyncinfo -add_paths
   "NETBACKUP_RELATIONAL_DATABASE_FILES," is run automatically during the
   patch installation to add this directive to the cold catalog backup
   configuration.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET430039

Description:
   NBDB (for Enterprise Media Manager (EMM) and BMR) database recovery failed
   if the master server had a newer catalog backup image than the one used in
   Disaster Recovery (DR).  On Windows platforms, it logged an error message
   in the progress log and displayed a error message dialog.  On UNIX
   platforms, because of a defect in the Java user interface, it would only
   report an error message in the log and all restore jobs appeared in job
   monitor as successful.

Additional Notes:
   With this fix, a user is able to recover from an older catalog backup even
   though the user has a newer catalog backup image on the master server.
   
   Full catalog disaster recovering from an older catalog backup is a
   “roll-back” operation, that has potential of losing data. Users should
   understand the implications and use it with caution.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET414315

Description:
   When performing an Optical backup, the optical media will not use side B
   once side A becomes filled.  Instead a new platter is used.  Once all
   of the platters are filled on side A, side B of the platters is filled.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET431050

Description:
   This pack corrects the frequency mode scheduling algorithm to function the
   same as it did in the pre-NetBackup 6.0 product, when the frequency was a
   multiple of 24 hours.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET422114

Description:
   A problem was corrected that caused the NetBackup Policy Execution
   Manager (nbpem) to dump a core file on shutdown.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET425135

Description:
   Failed snapshots no longer cause "job retires" to become "new jobs".  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET421439

Description:
   Manual backups would not start immediately if the NetBackup Policy
   Execution Manager (PEM) was started first.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET432263

Description:
   For a Hot Catalog Backup, the relational database (NBDB/Sybase ASA) backup
   job treated a cumulative and differential incremental backup the same and
   only included the transaction log in the backup.  This could create
   problems when recovering the ASA database if the differential backup media
   created before the last cumulative had expired.  The differential backups
   contain the transaction logs that are necessary to roll forward from the
   last full backup.  To fix this problem, the cumulative incremental backup
   will be a full backup for the ASA files.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET430274

Description:
   Because of a logic error in the handling of "bptm -delete_all_expired",
   the expired media was not being deleted.  This prevented recycling of the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET428121

Description:
   Upon de-allocating a drive, the Device Allocator (DA) was selecting a Scan
   Host as if there had been no previous or existing Scan Host.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET421579

Description:
   NetBackup tracks the media manufacturer and serial number in the
   EMM database.  Some drives do not support this data while some do.
   If drives that do not support this type of data are added into a library
   with drives that do support this type data, the database can end up with
   multiple media with the same manufacturer and serial number information.
   This condition would lead to problems loading the media at a future time.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET430429

Description:
   The transport of log messages from NBSL to the NOM Server was failing and
   causing the Host Session to go down.
   
   POSIX-based systems can set either EWOULDBLOCK or EAGAIN when send() fails.
   TAO (part of PSP) was testing just for EWOULDBLOCK.  All other errnos were
   considered harmful.  This prevented the rest of the data from being flushed
   out when send () raised EAGAIN.  The clients never received the whole data
   which caused the hang.  A fix for PSP was provided that prevents this
   issue from happening again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET411601

Description:
   An error occurred while creating a SUSE Shared Resource Tree (SRT).
   Cleanup of this SRT would fail and display the following incorrect message:
   
   [Error] V-125-376 No space left on device. Please ensure that the
   specified target location for the Shared Resource Tree has adequate free
   space, and retry the command.  
   
   Please refer to the Bare Metal Restore System Administrator's Guide
   for the space requirements for creating Shared Resource Trees.

Etrack Incident = ET495033

Description:
   The Device Monitor shows the same tape mounted in multiple drives.  This
   tape is assigned to a NetBackup 5.x media server.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, do not share drives between NetBackup 6.0 media
   servers and NetBackup 5.x media servers.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Etrack Incident = ET496956

Description:
   A problem was causing the Windows open file backup to not show retries in
   the Activity Monitor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET420304

Description:
   Originally, vmscd, was a single process that serviced requests from the
   EMM server synchronously. Because of this, the EMM server was not
   receiving the request response in a timely manner. In some cases, the
   EMM server thinks that vmscd has exited, thus, triggering certain
   operations that were redundant and in some cases harmful.
   
   Now there are two vmscd processes. The parent vmscd process receives
   requests from the EMM server and services them as soon as possible. The
   child vmscd process collects the drive status from back level media
   servers.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET496080

Description:
   For media with image expiration set to infinity, nbpushdata would pass an
   incorrect value for infinity to the EMM database; thus, the media could
   not be queried.
   
   nbemmcmd -listmedia -mediaid <media_id>
   NBEMMCMD, Version:6.0(20050906)
   
   The function returned the following failure status:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET428319

Description:
   A problem existed that caused the nbpushdata -remove command to fail.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, the EMM data base was dropped and recreated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET495345

Description:
   The default start date, 01/01/1970 will not work for 'bpchangeprimary' in
   any locale that does not display dates as mm/dd/yyyy.

Workaround:
   If the start date is entered in the correct format for the locale it will
   be accepted.
   
   For example:
   
   bpchangeprimary -copy 1 -sl sName -pn cjPName-st FULL -pt MS-Windows-NT
   -sd 1070-01-01
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET495866 ET496960

Description:
   Changed bprd and pem so that the bprd child could terminate and not wait
   for a job exit status from pem unless the -w flag was used on the request.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET428657

Description:
   When you perform a raw backup with the encryption option enabled, using
   the block device, and then you attempt a restore of the raw image to the
   block device, the restore job would finish with a zero (0), however, the
   data was not restored correctly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET497777

Description:
   Could not inventory legacy TS8 libraries as TL8.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET497271

Description:
   If any inetd entry is missing on a client and update_clients is used to
   push NetBackup client software to it, update_clients will show an error
   message in the log file.  Corrections were made to the temporary file names
   so that inet.conf on the client is updated properly and no error is
   generated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET497944

Description:
   Under extremely heavy load in the Device Allocator, the DA may crash EMM.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET496962

Description:
   Some vital logs were not displaying correctly.
   
   The form that Log:DbLogMsg is being called in emmserver source files was
   incorrect whenever it was multi-lined in the code. As a result, only part
   of the log message would survive and the important log information was
   lost.
   
   Currently many are in the wrong form of:
   
    Log::DbLogMsg( EMMLOG_DEBUG3, who,
      "<MANUALCONF> Control host name is NOT passed in, "
      "Assuming incoming host < %s > as the control host",
      machineName.c_str() ) ;
   
   The quotes were not being processed correctly so the line starting with
   "Assuming” would not appear.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET498496

Description:
   Non-robotic tape drives that contain unlabelled media are no longer
   automatically assigned to non-robotic media specific mount requests.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET498519

Description:
   In a rare condition, one or more backups would be corrupt when using
   Inline Tape Copy (ITC) with multiplexed backups.  This could happen under
   the following conditions:
   
   - ITC was enabled with two or more active copies.
   - Multiplexing was enabled with two or more active backups.
   - The schedule configuration had "continue if the copy fails" flag
     set for the copy that failed in the next step.
   - A copy other than the first active copy encountered "end of media", so
     a new media was needed for this copy.  Then, there was a problem getting
     or configuring media (for example, writing the media header) such that
     this copy failed before continuing the backup.
   - The last buffer written to the first active copy prior to the "end of
     media" on the other copy was not the first active backup.

Workaround:
   To avoid this problem, do one of the following:
   
   - Edit the schedule configuration to disable the "continue if copy fails"
     flag.
   - Disable multiplexing.
   - Disable ITC.
   
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET428317

Description:
   The back-level media server request, V_QUERY_CLEAN_BYROBNUM, would cause
   an SQL error.

Etrack Incident = ET420766

Description:
   The vmoprcmd -devmon ds command is failing with a Corba exception.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET499611

Description:
   Synthetic backup could have potential data loss in following cases:
   - Last full/synthetic, full expired/deleted backup, followed by one or
     more incremental backups, and a synthetic backup.
   - Last incremental/full backup catalog was compressed before the next
     incremental backup takes place.
   - TIR records in the last incremental backup are missing for various
     reasons  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET506459

Description:
   Media Servers that share drives on versions of NetBackup older than
   NetBackup 6.0 receive host_not_registered errors when attempting to
   decree another media server is unavailable.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET495457

Description:
   The base NetBackup UNIX Agent has now been integrated with VxFS
   Checkpoints.  It has been modified to detect VxFS checkpoints using the
   mount table's special options, and then use VxFS supplied APIs to detect
   sparseness in them, and handle it accordingly.
   
   Without these changes, a base NetBackup UNIX Agent could not tell if the
   zero or smaller physical size of VxFS checkpoints, as compared to the
   reported file size, is due to actual sparseness of the file or not. The
   result was the base NetBackup UNIX Agent had to look through the whole
   file and try to determine sparseness; thus, slowing down the backups
   considerably.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET293930

Description:
   This fix improves the performance of the NetBackup Error log collection
   logic because the NBLogCollector was not seeking to a known spot for
   performance reasons. To address this issue, logic was changed to get
   newly-added error log messages by using a stat() system call to learn the
   modified time of the error log file and keeping the opened file for the
   next collect() call to maintain the current read position of the file.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET496560

Description:
   The NetBackup Service Layer (NBSL) no longer causes a core dump.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET507270 ET507266 ET507656

Description:
   The following three issues have been address:
   
   -  Under certain conditions backups may not schedule.  This would happen
      because of a problem in computing the next time a job is due.  Windows
      were not processed correctly if a backup should have run in a previous
      window and if the next window opened or closed at a different time.
   
   -  The Advanced Client VSS snapshot backup produced an 805 error.  A
      mistake in nbpem's logic would cause a child job to be resumed or
      restarted using an old job id.  It would use the jobid of the parent,
      resulting in and an invalid jobid.
   
   -  The scheduler would always execute full backups, even for incremental
      backups, if the BMR option was on.  nbpem would use the wrong criteria
      for a last backup query made for a parent job that did not have
      multiple data streams enabled.  The result was no last full backup
      being found, so a full backup would be run instead of an incremental.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET506080 ET566045

Description:
   In a cluster under NetBackup Access Control the credential associated with
   the physical node name is no longer picked up rather than the virtual host
   name associated with NetBackup.  And in a cluster, an attempt will be made
   to use a credential created using bpnbat -loginmachine for the virtual
   host name.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, create credential files for both the physical host
   names and the virtual hostnames for each node in the cluster. For details
   on how to create credentials, refer to the NetBackup System Administrator's
   Guide Volume II, Chapter 1, "Access Management".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET495479

Description:
   The NetBackup Service Layer (NBSL) no longer causes a core dump when NOM
   is configured.  The core dump would occur when NetBackup 5.x media servers
   were configured to a NetBackup 6.0 master server and NBSL would attempt to
   collect data from the 5.x media server.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET507657

Description:
   An error would occur when nbpushdata used emmlib_DeleteHost to remove the
   NDMP host server.  An error similar to the following was written to the
   nbemm log.  
   
   11/11/05 15:54:41.185 [Debug] NB 51216 nbemm 111 PID:13393 TID:1196157872

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET498714

Description:
   A change was made to address conflicts in the EMM_Media table
   after an upgrade. An EMM server change was made in the
   helperAssignUpgradeImageInfoToMergeTable to accept "NONE" as
   a valid assigned host name. This change was needed for the
   following command:
   
   # /bp/bin/admincmd/nbemmcmd -forcemerge -assignedhost NONE -mediaid A00000
   -originhost pjcbk001 -reversemerge
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET498037

Description:
   User names and group names longer than 32 characters were not supported.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, you should use group names and user names that are
   smaller than 32 characters.  

Additional Notes:
   Even with this fix, max possible gname and uname allocated is 1024 chars
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET507646

Description:
   In certain cases when NetBackup Access Control was enabled, long-lived
   processes, such as, nbemm, nbpem, nbjm, nbrb, nbproxy, nbsl, and vmd may
   have leaked memory.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET509198

Description:
   The SQL SERVER backup would complete normally, however, the client user
   interface would display -1 status.  Improper progress log updates caused
   this issue.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET506666

Description:
   A Linux client with an empty or non-existent /etc/resolv.conf file would
   halt at restore time even though the client's original configuration did
   not use the /etc/resolv.conf file.  

Additional Notes:
   Linux Shared Resource Trees (SRT) created after this pack is applied will
   correctly handle an empty or non-existent /etc/resolv.conf file.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET509505

Description:
   Spanning media jobs occasionally appeared to be hung, the request would
   continually fail with the message, "ROBOTIC LIBRARY IS DOWN ON SERVER".
   This typically occurred after an earlier failure of,
   "MEDIA SERVER IS CURRENTLY NOT CONNECTED TO MASTER SERVER".  However, the
   media server would show the robot as being up and the host as ACTIVE or
   ACTIVE-TAPE.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET367776

Description:
   The NetBackup Service Layer (NBSL) no longer hangs in a "stopping" state
   in the Windows Service Manager.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET506668

Description:
   For Linux clients, some S-ATA devices were not being handled correctly
   at restore time. Changes contained in this pack load the proper modules
   correctly in the restore environment so the restoration can be performed.

Additional Notes:
   The original problem presents itself when the restore environment boots.
   After loading the SRT, the restoration will stop, requesting for a reboot
   of the client, with a boot order string that contains the ata_piix module.
   
   Even if the client is rebooted and the order string is passed from the boot
   prompt, the message appears again and the restoration can never proceed.
   
   Once this patch is applied on the Boot Server, the SRT needs to be
   recreated for this fix to be available. SRTs created with bmrsrtadm
   versions prior to the one contained in this patch will have the problem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET509087

Description:
   A change was made that enables vmd to retry and make the connection to
   EMM indefinitely, instead of shutting down if it could not make the
   connection.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET500512

Description:
   There are end case situations especially when a master server cluster node
   goes inactive where the bprdreq -terminate and bpdbm -terminate commands
   in bp.kill_all might take several minutes to complete.  This can cause
   inconsistencies in a cluster enviroment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET511942

Description:
   From the NOM user interface, it is not possible to start a service/deamon
   when NetBackup is on UNIX operating systems.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET509733

Description:
   NBSL was occasionally sending negative values for the “free space” and
   “total capacity” of a storage unit (particularly if the values are
   greater than 2^32-1).

Etrack Incident = ET511981

Description:
   It is now possible for SAN media servers to be used as write hosts for
   duplicate jobs.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET419837

Description:
   Some keys generated by bpkeyutil for standard encryption would cause
   backups to fail.  The failure status is 40 - network connection broken.
   About one out of 256 keys caused this failure.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET512393

Description:
   VxUL queries no longer fail on AIX platforms.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET509994

Description:
   Changed the way NetBackup package versions are stored in SRT records so
   that the history of maintenance is preserved.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET509547

Description:
   A problem existed that was limited to a DSSU duplication (not a vault or
   manual duplication issue) that would take more than 59 minutes to
   complete.  After 20 minutes, a status 50 occurred, but the underlying
   duplication still had 39 more minutes to finish.  After 59 minutes,
   EMM noticed the "problem" and shut down the job.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET513419

Description:
   NBNos no longer runs in single-threaded mode only.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET511008

Description:
   If there is more that one user schedule in a policy, and a schedule is
   not specified in the backup request, the job may fail with a 199 error
   (no open windows).  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, either specify the schedule name in the backup
   request, or do not create more that one user schedule in a policy.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET510797

Description:
   A job that fails with a 196 error (EC_no_attemp_window_close) will be left
   in a “waiting for retry” state instead of being done.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET499144

Description:
   When running multi-streamed Windows Open File Backup backups, jobs would
   fail with a status 200 error.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET513486

Description:
   The following back-level SSO interoperability issues have occurred:
   -  Numerous re-registrations were consuming all of vmd's bandwidth on the
      EMM server.
   -  Registration failures would occur because the no-scan-host setting,
      registration retry timer would block back-level servers from releasing
      drives.
   -  Back-level remote scanning of NetBackup 6.0 media servers was failing
      with ENOTSCANHOST and forcing even more registrations to occur.  

Workaround:
   DO NOT SHARE DRIVES BETWEEN 6.0 AND 5.X MEDIA SERVERS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET516562

Description:
   nbemm no longer core dumps with a clustered master server.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET511445

Description:
   To improve performance of nbpem, all sorting has been removed.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET506661

Description:
   After installing NetBackup into a Solaris Shared Resource Tree (SRT), if
   the source of the installation is a CD-ROM, the device is left mounted and
   the CD-ROM cannot be ejected.  

Workaround:
   After installing NetBackup into the Shared Resource Tree, exit bmrsrtadm,
   start bmrsrtadm again, and this time choose the Share Resource Tree that
   was just created.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET516645

Description:
   If nbpem received a request to terminate while a terminate request was

   EMC NDMP VTLU
   Falcon Stor
   IBM 3576 Library
   IBM TS7510 Virtualization Engine
   HP MSL-2024 G3 Series
   
   Added support for the following drives:
   IBM 3592E05
   Sony SDX 800v
   
   Updated support for the following libraries:
   ADIC Scalar i2000
   Quantum TZ Media Changer
   
   Updated support for the following drive:
   ADIC i500
   IBM 3592
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET421278

Description:
   Force the UNIX implementations of the BPCD_FORK_CMD_W_STAT_RQST,
   BPCD_FORK_OTHER_CMD_RQST, and BPCD_EXECUTE_CLIENT_CONFIG_RQST protocols
   to wait as long as necessary for the [child] command to complete.
   Previously, the command would have been killed if it did not complete
   within BPCD_TIMEOUT seconds (300). This behavior was unwarranted, and
   was inconsistent with the Windows implementation, which already waits an
   indefinite time.  In addition, supporting code that was not necessary
   was removed.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET515306

Description:
   At “fall-back time” for daylight savings time, the calendar scheduling
   may repeatedly run the same job.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET514752 ET563731

Description:
   A change made to bpexpdate such that, media IDs that are less than six
   characters, and returned from EMM, were not padded with spaces.  This
   caused bpexpdate -deassignempty to mistakenly deassign media that still
   had valid images on them.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, turn off the automatic start of
   bpexpdate -deassignempty by performing one of the following items:
   
     - On a UNIX master server, create the file,
       /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpsched.d/CHECK_EXPIRED_MEDIA_INTERVAL,
       and enter a 0 (zero) on the first and only line of the file.
   
     - On a Windows master server, create the file,
       <install_path>\NetBackup\bin\bpsched.d\CHECK_EXPIRED_MEDIA_INTERVAL,
       and enter a 0 (zero) on the first and only line of the file.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET507316

Description:
   The bprd log message was off-by-one for process_command().  This lead to

Description:
   The vmscd's time-out while communicating with back-level servers was too
   small. Because of this, vmscd would think that the back-level server was
   not running and it used to decree that the host was unavailable.
   
   As part of this fix, the time-out value was raised.

Etrack Incident = ET511741

Description:
   vlteject no longer fails with the following error when tapes are taken
   out of the map after long time.
   
   "vmchange eject verify not responding[300]"  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET512872

Description:
   Removed the change events for Error LogMonitoring.  For example, the error
   log collection functionality was removed.  In addition, the
   getLogMessages() idl method supports the error log source; thus, NOM call
   this method for getting error logs.  Finally, the getEventChannel()
   functionality has been removed, resulting in an AFException.

Additional Notes:
   Because of this fix, log monitoring of NOM 6.0 MP2 only works with
   NetBackup 6.0 MP1 or MP2.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET511772

Description:
   Pagination on the report in myportal did not work if table was accessed
   after long duration of time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET413396

Description:
   The LANG environment variable was not being properly inherited from the
   master's invocation.  Because the locale was passed as an argument to the
   user server invocation, there was no harm in redundantly performing a
   putenv() from the user server.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET522065

Description:
   Restore to an alternate client (not a master or media server) by a
   media server fails with error status 159:
   
   The licensed features for this system do not permit the backup of a
   remote client (<client> ).  Make sure that the license key is entered
   properly.  In addition, SAN media server licensing should be enforced
   for backup but not for restore to allow maximum flexibility for DRM
   data restoration.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET522555

Description:
   Vault failed to run properly from the user interface in VxSS/NBAC
   configuration.  While in a start session from the user interface, the job
   failed to execute, and nothing appeared in the Activity Monitor.  This was
   observed for any valid user (Administrator) with all the required
   permissions.  This fix enables executions that originate from the user
   interface to be processed properly.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET432239 ET508863

Description:
   Corrected ACS timeouts when the ACSLS server had communication problems
   with the media server.
   
   To correct this problem, a 20 second wait was removed before checking for
   drive readiness on an ACS mount.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET520519

Description:
   A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability existed in the volume manager
   daemon (vmd) running on NetBackup servers.   If an attacker was able to
   gain access to a vulnerable NetBackup server and successfully exploit this
   issue, it could have lead to arbitrary code execution and resulted in
   unauthorized access with elevated privileges on the targeted system.
   
   This vulnerability impacted only NetBackup server systems and did not
   impact NetBackup client systems.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET432236

Description:
   Corrected the use of access bits with the mailslot and with the storage
   slots in the robotic libraries.
   
   To correct this issue, add a wait before an eject for Vault-style ejects
   for libraries that take extra long for the mailslot to come ready after
   being accessed.

Additional Notes:
   Access bit checking may require a new device_mappings file, it depends on
   the robot.

Description:
   NBSL no longer sends deletion events for Jobs to NOM.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET516605

Description:
   Under certain conditions, NetBackup Job Manager (NBJM) runs out of
   threads. As a result no new jobs can be initiated and the existing
   jobs do not complete.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, kill and restart the NBJM service.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET493991 ET431087

Description:
   An Incremental NetBackup Catalog Backup ends up backing more data
   than necessary.
   
   NetBackup Catalog Backup was re-architected in NetBackup 6.0. The plan
   was to also support NetBackup Catalog Move Detection. While supporting
   that for UNIX by using ctime, in addition to mtime, for deciding on
   which files to backup, inadverently opened the door for more directories
   to be backed up, since the ctime gets changed for parent directories
   of directories under which new catalog is being created. This resulted
   in entire client catalog to be backed up again, if there was any other
   backup done for that client.
   
   The solution provided in this patch is to use NBU's existing TIR w/Move
   Detection logic for NetBackup Catalog Move Detection.
   
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET523400

Description:
   In a cluster, Disk staging (duplication to tape) uses the local node name
   as the media server instead of the virtual name.  Because of this,
   bpduplicate may fail with the error, “host is unreachable (47)”.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET496959

Description:
   NetBackup Job Manager (NBJM) would deadlock or halt when the connection to
   bpbrm breaks in the middle of a backup job.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET516377

Description:
   NBPEM would crash if a thread referenced a deleted object.  This is a
   timing problem and can happen when:
    - A thread decrements the ref count on an object
    - The thread is stalled
    - The object is destroyed (ref count = 0)
    - The stalled thread starts running and it references the destroyed object
   
   The above problem has been corrected by ensuring that the object is not
   referenced after the reference count has been decremented.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET496074

Description:
   Restores failed with the following errors in the job log and tar debug log:
   
   job log:
   22:16:27 (4753.046) data buffers out of sequence, expected number 157884,
      received 157886
   23:32:46 (4753.053) data buffers out of sequence, expected number 404927,

   23:32:47 (4753.053) data buffers out of sequence, expected number 404927,
      received 404932
   
   This issue occurred because the HP-UX 11.23 compiler optimized-out
   references to the shared memory control variables.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET425567

Description:
   Fixed memory leak in Policy Execution Manager.  The leak occurred when
   processing any configuration change event sent by NBNos, which passes a
   sequence of name value pairs.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET516907

Description:
   An exception occurred in NetBackup Generic Job (nbgenjob), where getting
   a policy from nbproxy while performing a stream discovery forced a retry.
   The first retry resulted in a core dump because the internal file list was
   not cleared before rereading the STREAMS file.  To resolve this core
   problem, the stream discovery was changed to clear the internal file list
   before reading the STREAMS file, and to only read the STREAMS file once.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET431505

Description:
   Changed nbproxy to catch exceptions when either of the IOR files listed
   below in the var directory are empty to prevent the Policy Execution
   Manager (nbpem) from exiting on startup.
   
   IOR files in var directory are:
   -  nbproxy_pem.ior
   -  nbproxy_pem_email.ior  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, remove the empty IOR files nbproxy_pem.ior and
   nbproxy_pem_email.ior from the var directory.  On UNIX, the var directory
   resides in /usr/openv, and on Windows, it resides in VERITAS\NetBackup.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET425565

Description:
   For user and manual backups, changes have been made that prevent Policy
   Execution Manager (nbpem) core dumps by fixing the message queue locking
   function.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET423142

Description:
   Fix CT_EXCHANGE backup job when streaming is not enabled.  Changed Policy
   Execution Manager (nbpem) to set stream number to zero for the child
   CT_EXCHANGE job.  Nbpem was setting it to -1, which made the delta time
   option (-dt) that was passed to Bpbrm, zero.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET427069

Description:
   Parent job (nbgenjob) did not detect that the Policy Execution Manager
   (nbpem) went down so it waited indefinitely for a response.  Changed
   nbgenjob to ping nbpem using the birth time that was returned to determine
   if Policy Execution Manager was running.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET518632

Description:
   Fixed NetBackup Resource Broker (nbrb) so that it disconnects from
   Sybase ASA when it receives a suspend before a cold catalog backup.
   If nbrb does not disconnect from ASA, when Sybase ASA is shutdown for
   the cold catalog backup, warnings similar to the following appear in
   the Sybase server.log file: Connection terminated abnormally.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET498975

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET520924

Description:
   The function, decree_host_unavailable, from NetBackup 5.x media servers
   was causing the NetBackup 6.0 media servers to go offline.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET520279

Description:
   The scanability setting of media servers in the EMM database is being
   overwritten by the ltid processes of the media servers.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET518557

Description:
   Using the wizard to reconfigure NDMP-attached tape drives no longer fails.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET519239

Description:
   "bpexpdate –recalculate" and "bpexpdate -backupid" both allow image
   expiration dates to be changed while an image duplication is in progress.
   If the image spans tapes, this can result in different expiration dates
   for the individual fragments.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, do not run "bpexpdate –recalculate" or
   "bpexpdate -backupid" while an image duplication is in progress.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET520937

Description:
   This fix eliminates a program fault that attempts to get the media server
   catalog path list from a NetBackup 5.x media server when the back-level
   server has become unresponsive.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, make certain all the back-level servers are
   functioning.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET508741

Description:
   Robot Name is now displayed correctly in NOM user interface.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET517878

Description:
   Over time, the NBJM process grew in size as jobs were run.  The system was
   configured to use security.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, disable security or restart NBJM periodically.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET515457

Description:
   Eliminated a potential memory leak when retrieving a list of hosts that
   are sharing drives and list of shared drives in a master server domain.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET417455

Description:
   BPTM may report an incorrect error at the end of some restore and
   duplication jobs that is similar to the following error.
   
   "invalid job id (805)"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET424097

Description:
   Synthethic backups would fail or hang on Solaris systems with a low
   resource limit for the maximum file descriptor.  The bpsynth log would
   contain the following:
   
   ACEMsgTran::updateReactor_u: unable to register handle with the reactor
   
   On a few HP-UX systems, bpsynth may core dump if the maximum file
   descriptor resource limits are not configured properly.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, configure the system so that the maximum number of
   open files per process is at least 512.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET431087 ET493991

Description:
   On UNIX platforms, the catalog moving detection that used ctime and mtime
   in an incremental catalog backup, was not always reliable.  This resulted
   in backing up catalog files that were modified since the last full backup.
   To resolve this issue, use the TIR moving detection capabilities in bpbkar
   and remove the catalog moving detection code from the catalog backup
   library.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET524813

Description:
   For Disk-to-Tape duplications, with disk images that were fragmented,
   several problems would occur, for example:
   
   - Duplication operations would get this error, "unable to read bpduplicate
   message, premature end of file encountered (errno = I/O error)", which was
   incorrect.
   
   - Duplication operations could inadvertently mix retention levels on the
   output media.  

Workaround:
   To avoid these duplication issues, touch the following file:
   /usr/openv/netbackup/NODTTSDUP.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET431511

Description:
   After importing a certain type of NDMP backup, the restore would fail
   because the NUM_FILES in the catalog image header was set to zero (0).
   The cause was that bpdbm did not count the extra directory entries and
   NDMP environmental variables during importing process.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET522253

Description:
   Changes have been made the enables the use of FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER
   for Basic Disk storage units.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET525778

Description:
   Long delays, of as much as 20 minutes, can occur before the Policy
   Execution Manager starts a job.  The Policy Execution Manager submit
   function calls hosts_equal, which sets the maxJobsPerClient value that
   is sent to Job Manager, and this may cause a long delay if you have a
   lot of clients that are not accessible.  
   
   To avoid a long delay in the job submission, you must first determine
   if any client is timing out.  To do this, change the Policy Execution
   Manager debug level to 4 or higher so that the Policy Execution Manager
   debug messages are displayed when setting the maxJobPerClient field
   during job submission.  The debug statements enable you to determine
   which clients are timing out.  A timeout condition means a client no
   longer exists or it is not accessible.  After you have determined which
   client(s) is timing out, either remove the client from the policy or
   make sure it is accessible.

Etrack Incident = ET507870

Description:
   The Media IDs were not converted to upper case correctly and caused
   unexpected mismatches.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET524628 ET533634

Description:
   Exchange Transportable backups would fail with a status 69 and resulted
   in no parent jobs (nbgenjob) starting.  To correct this problem, a changed
   was made to the Policy Execution Manager to start a parent job (nbgenjob)
   if the policy fields "frozenImage" and "off host backup" are enabled and
   streaming is disabled.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET524690

Description:
   When executing update_clients to push NetBackup client software to a
   Linux x86 machine running a 2.4 kernel, it may fail with a message
   that libvxstlportST.so is busy.  That library is now being installed
   as libvxstlportST.so_new and has been added to move_libs similar
   to how some other key binaries are handled.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET525328

Description:
   update_clients currently fails when using the <HW> <OS> method of
   execution.  The check that caused this error has been corrected.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET527265

Description:
   If USE_VXSS is set to automatic, it was possible that a copy of the
   originator credential would be leaked when negotiating a secure

   insecure connection is received.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET523630

Description:
   On HP-UX IA64 platforms, the command bpclntcmd -ip <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> would

Description:
   A failed bmrsavecfg on the client will now correctly show a non-zero
   status in the job monitor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET429756

Description:
   A change has been made to resolve the problem of media remaining mounted
   after a synthetic backup. This would only happen if the following
   conditions applied:
   
   -  The incremental image is very small (assuming the image is on A00001)
   -  The mount of tape for writing fails the first time (for example, the
      tape A00002 was selected first and then the mount of this tape failed).
   -  The tape, given for the write (the second time after the mount failure)
      is the same as the one where the small incremental image exists
      (such as, A00001 in this case).  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET495489

Description:
   A non-multiplexed duplication of a TIR backup written to tape would fail

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET507962

Description:
   bprd has a relatively large memory footprint at start up.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, do not save large number of VxUL logs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET521857

Description:
   The NOM server no longer consumes large amounts of memory during the
   Media Data Load.  Part of this problem was caused by NBSL returning all
   the media data to NOM when NOM reconnected instead of changing media data.
   To resolve this issue, a change was made to the media collector design so
   that NBSL sends only changed media instead of all media.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET519253 ET530848

Description:
   Bpverify limits the amount of errors it logs to a maximum of 10 entries.
   In certain cases, it is useful to log all of the errors and to be able to
   manually adjust the catalog file to allow a successful restore.  A new
   option, -dml, was added to bpverify that disables the maximum amount of
   error logging.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET355520

Description:
   If a backup mounts a filesystem in bpstart_notify, starts a backup, and is
   interrupted, it will not be able to unmount the fileystem in a bpend_notify

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET522347

Description:
   A 134 status code (unable to process request because the server resources
   are busy) was occasionally reported incorrectly as a 24 status code
   (socket write failed).  This issue could cause a job to fail instead of
   being  retried if resources were available.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET514845 ET530821 ET530802

Description:
   In environments where DNS is not available for fully resolving a host's
   name, NBAC would require additional configuration steps.  Therefore, in
   some cases, it is not possible to get NBAC to work.  

Workaround:
   In some cases it is possible to specify the correct fully-qualified host
   name with the bpnbat and bpnbaz command lines.  The user is prompted for
   the correct value when a problem is found in this regard.  

Additional Notes:
   A new command line has been added for bpnbat.  The bpnbat -ShowMachines
   command displays the exact names of the Machine principals that were
   added with bpnbat -AddMachine.  This indicates whether or not a Short Host
   name has been resolved.  It also enables the user to see which machines
   have thus far been added to the NBAC machine list.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET524767

Description:
   When bprestore is run with the option to wait for the completion of the
   restore job, a firewall between bprestore and bprd can shut down the

   never comes.  

Workaround:
   Increase the timeout on the firewall.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET516108

Description:
   The VxFS named data-stream processing caused a debug log error when

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET519732

Description:
   Image header files do not have the correct permissions and are world
   writeable in NetBackup 6.0.  

Workaround:
   Permission on the image files can be changed using operating system tools.
   A cron or at job could be used to automate this functionality. Other
   options could include automating this with a bpend script.  

Additional Notes:
   After installation of NetBackup 6.0 MP2, please change the permission of
   the appropriate header file to 644.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET519795

Description:
   When running a backup with a large number of streams, the image header
   files may not be removed correctly from the tmp directory when the image
   is validated.  This will cause a bpverify request to read the image header
   twice - once from the parent directory and once from the tmp directory.
   It will see twice the number of expected files and fail to verify the
   image.

Additional Notes:
   This patch also addresses a similar issue with deleted image header files,
   where the image header file is not successfully deleted initially, and is
   retained until a subsequent clean-up operation is done.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Etrack Incident = ET517651 ET526726 ET526745

Description:
   Added a software utility (nbsupport 2.1.1) that creates a support package
   that consists of multiple reports most often asked for by NetBackup support
   personnel.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET526967

Description:
   A problem would occur when an Archive was run using NBWin.  There was a
   change in the behavior that caused data loss when only one file exists
   within the directory at the start of an archive job and new files were
   added to that directory before the archive completed.  BPCD showed that
   at the end of the job, the archive was called with 'rm -rf' that removed
   the directory and all files resulting in a data loss of the new files
   added.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET521720

Description:
   one can see many nbproxy.exe hanging around even
   after the destruction of its Manager or nbsl.exe itself
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET517955

Description:
   NBSL no longer sends invalid fields in the Job and Job-attempt data.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET521892

Description:
   Running asyncronous I/O on large files can lead to delays in servicing
   requests.  The design should have handled this uncommon issue, however,
   if an error, such as a read error, was encountered with an errno of
   EAGAIN, it was treated as a generic error instead of a retry, so the
   backup failed.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, turn off asyncronous I/O.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET497175

Description:
   Added new PC-x64 client type.

Etrack Incident = ET425635

Description:
   This maintenance pack contains error handling enhancements for license
   failures in vlteject, vltinject, and vltopmenu.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET533242

Description:
   Changes were made to the notify scripts to only call “date” once for
   performance reasons.  In addition, changes were made to add the missing
   parent_start_notify and parent_end_notify scripts that the parent job
   (nbgenjob) uses.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET527834

Description:
   The NetBackup API that retrieves Catalog DB images was not returning
   records in the ascending order of date (backuptime).  This caused a
   problem because NOM requires the backuptime to be in the ascending order
   of date.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET533333

Description:
   Hot Catalog Backups were taking too long. For a customer that has a very
   large catalog (about 44GB) that contains about 117000 file list entries
   (for image catalog directives), the backups were taking in excess of
   24 hours.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, run cold catalog backups, if the hot catalog backups
   take too long.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET496741 ET537300 ET570640

Description:
   Backups with infinite retention use a specific expiration date value to
   mark them as infinite retention.  This value was changed in the
   NetBackup 6.0 release to deal with some limitations in third party
   components.  This new value created some reporting issues for backups
   that were done on or reported using media servers with the NetBackup 5.0
   or 5.1 versions.  The backups would be listed as expiring on a specific
   date, rather than showing "INFINITY" as their expiration date.  This pack
   addresses the third party date limitations and reverts the value used to
   designate infinite retention to the pre-NetBackup 6.0 value.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET520323

Description:
   Windows Hot Catalog Backups would periodically fail with a
   status 67: client backup failed to read the file list.  This only
   occurred if there were client names with multiple underscore ("_")
   characters in their NetBackup policy definitions.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, rename the clients defined in NetBackup backup
   policies to client names without underscore characters.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET414828

Description:
   This pack contains a fix to a memory leak in Policy Execution Manager when
   reading a policy or when sending mail upon job completion (for example,
   when the mailAdmin field is specified).

Workaround:
   A partial workaround for this issue is to not set the mailAdmin field in
   the policy so that no mail will be sent upon job completion.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET519705 ET519368

Description:
   After some amount of time, NetBackup EMM would become unresponsive;
   requests to EMM would timeout.  To corret this issue, the rollovermode is
   set to the filesize (which is the default NetBackup configuration).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET533725

Description:
   Corrected a problem that caused NBJM to crash intermittently. The problem
   was caused by two threads working on the same object concurrently.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET422446

Description:
   Corrected the drive unload function in acstest.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET533119

Description:
   A change has been made to bpdbjobs to ignore PROCESS lines that appear in
   trylogs before the Try line to insure that the correct data is interpreted.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET534333

Description:
   Multiple changes have been added to handle a number of sscanf() calls in an
   effort to gaurd against potential problems that are similar to buffer
   overflow issues.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET532668

Description:
   A TIR backup would create a corrupted tape image if the amount of TIR data
   received did not match the amount expected.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET407677 ET432231 ET493475 ET493479

Description:
   Vault components are now supported in an NBAC environment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET533084

Description:
   If an inline tape copy backup job was suspended before the first
   checkpoint was taken and subsequently resumed, the job failed to start.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET530747

Description:
   BPTM would sometimes corrupt the on-disk image when recovering from a
   disk-full condition.  To encounter this problem, a backup policy that uses
   inline copy and multiplexing to a DSU/DSSU must be active.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET534512

Description:
   Exchange VSS restores were failing because of a regression that was
   introduced in an earlier release.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET535998

Description:
   "bpdbm -consistency 2", useful to check database consistency, no longer
   fails.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET496660

Description:
   If a backup image was the same exact size as the defined max fragment size,
   a zero-length fragment would be listed in the image header and cause bpdm
   to hang while attempting to read the fragment.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET431225

Description:
   When a disk full condition occurred while writing the fragment header, an
   error would also occur during the same period that did not get cleared and
   caused all eligible image candidates to be deleted beyond the disk storage
   unit’s low water mark.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET538466

Description:
   If a single job in a multiplexed group received a 41 status error
   (network connection timed out), then all of the jobs in the group would
   incorrectly error with this same status.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET539671

Description:
   A change has been made to set the debuglogday to currentlogday every time
   the debug log file is opened.  For robust logging, this fix creates the
   first log file for the current day.  For legacy logging, this fix prevents
   the current log file from getting reopened for every debug log entry.

Workaround:
   To resolve this issue, touch the next file in the sequence, then the
   robust logging starts to write to the newly created log file.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET534453

Description:
   Shared standalone drives did not work if media servers were started while
   a tape was loading.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET535036

Description:
   A change has been made to resolved an nbproxy build break in addition to
   a race condition error in nbsl.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET540019

Description:
   NetBackup Catalog images are now retrieved in ascending order.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET539558

Description:
   A change was made to greatly reduce the startup time for multi-stream
   backup jobs with many streams.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET540913

Description:
   An immediate backup would cause the removal and rebuilding of jobs in the
   work list, even if the policy has not been changed, resulting in delays
   with starting the jobs.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET540910

Description:
   The startup time of backup jobs would slow down when entries existed in
   the client database.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET514169

Description:
   The pack install provides customers with a new option to perform cleanup
   of previously saved patch images.  This will alleviate concerns because
   of an increased footprint and full replacement of all NetBackup client
   binaries in maintenance packs.  The pack installer will present an
   additional prompt on every install to enable or disable this feature.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET538179 ET534458 ET538172 ET538164 ET537437 ET537416 ET537513

Description:
   Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities have been identified in daemons
   that run on Veritas NetBackup master, media, and client servers.  An
   attacker, if able to access a vulnerable Veritas NetBackup server and
   successfully exploit these issues, could potentially execute arbitrary
   code resulting in possible unauthorized and elevated privilege access
   to the targeted system.
   
   For more information about this vulnerability, refer to TechNote 281521 on
   the Symantec Support Web site (http://support.veritas.com/docs/281521).

Etrack Incident = ET540445

Description:
   Directory paths longer than 1024 characters can cause a core dump.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET539395

Description:
   A lock was inadvertently removed in DeviceManagerImpl::getEventChannel ()
   that caused a race condition when invoking the
   CollectorBase::getEventChannel () call.  This lock has been added back
   in to correct this issue.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET542685

Description:
   The catalog cleanup process was not resetting the image header level
   expiration date on a multi-copy image when the first copy expired.  This
   caused the expiration date for the image to be incorrectly reported.
   This problem affects only image reporting, because the determination to
   retain data is based on the copy-level expiration date.  

Workaround:
   This pack will ensure that the catalog cleanup operation correctly sets
   the image header level expiration date.  Additionally, it will ensure that
   queries against images that were affected by the original problem will
   return the correct expiration date.  Images affected by the original
   problem may continue to show an incorrect expiration date and primary
   copy when viewed through a text editor, but will be handled correctly by
   the application.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET542894

Description:
   A change has been made that enables you to do a Media Freeze and
   Unfreeze in NOM user interface.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET413496

Description:
   Added an ACS toolkit port to the ACS toolkit 2.3.
   Added ACS support to Linux IA64 and HP-UX IA64.  

Additional Notes:
   HP-UX IA64 does not currently support ACS_TCP_SERVICE mode which also
   means there is no ACS firewall support for HP-UX IA64.  Symantec is
   working with Hewlitt Packard to acquire a new operating system library
   for this support.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET541879

Description:
   Added support for the new Quantum DLT-S drives.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET533487

Description:
   A change has been made to correct known NBSL core dump issues.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET545651

Description:
   A scan-host failover to the NDMP path caused the drive to be DOWNED.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET544406

Description:
   Backups of Windows clients using standard encryption would corrupt the
   backup image.  This caused some restores from this image and bpverify to
   fail.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET546171

Description:
   Added a configurable option to disable validation of the host name
   (chars used to form the name).

Etrack Incident = ET546839

Description:
   Back-level media servers remote scanning drives that are active on 6.0
   media servers, may cause the drive to be downed on the scan host.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET542650

Description:
   Added "-move" into the "bpdbm -consistency" check to explicitly move out
   the corrupted catalog images. "bpdbm -consistency" no longer moves
   corrupted images without the option being explicitly specified.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Etrack Incident = ET415495

Description:
   Do not allow a down/disabled media server to block the entire Device
   Allocator (DA) thread pool.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET423713

Description:
   There were a few places in the code where the image query protocol version
   was set to 0, which is a pre-NetBackup 5.0 image version ID.  Some image
   queries would fail if the size of the total data being backed up was larger
   than 2TB in one job.
       
   This issue has been corrected enabling image queries on backups greater
   than 2TB work properly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET424051

Description:
   A change has been made to avert a potential vulnerability in a Java
   authentication service that runs on Veritas NetBackup servers and clients.
   This change prohibits remote attackers from executing arbitrary code on a
   targeted system.  In addition, Symantec recommends that users block the
   affected ports from external network access.
   
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET423045

Description:
   When sharing tape drives between media servers that were running both
   NetBackup 6.0 and NetBackup 5.x, a problem existed with the NetBackup 6.0
   Scan Hosts.  If the drive being scanned was assigned to a 5.x media server,
   the 6.0 Scan Host might not stop scanning.  This resulted in SCSI
   reservation conflicts and DOWN'ed drives on the NetBackup 5.x assigned host.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, do not share drives between media servers running
   different versions of NetBackup.  Instead, pool your drives such that all
   of your NetBackup 5.x media servers are sharing one pool of drives and all
   of your NetBackup 6.0 media servers are sharing a pool of different drives.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET422837

Description:
   When running multi-streamed Windows Open File Backup backups to back up
   open and/or active files, some VSP cache files in the format of
   _vxfiVspCacheFile_1.VSP, for example, may have been left behind by the
   backup jobs that had already completed.  This did not occur with
   non-streamed backup jobs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET428719

Description:
   Because of a logic error in the handling of "bptm –delete_all_expired",
   the expired media was not getting deleted. This would prevent recycling
   of the media.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, the user can expire the media using bpexpdate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET424660

Description:
   If a hot catalog backup fails and retries, an end of session function is
   executed when jobs are still active.  This could result in extra catalog
   backups to run, extra start and session scripts to run in addition to
   extra catalog cleanup operations.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET429008

Description:
   When upgrading from NetBackup 5.x to NetBackup 6.0, the
   NETBACKUP_RELATIONAL_DATABASE_FILES directive was not added to the list of
   files included in cold catalog backup.  The command, bpsyncinfo -add_paths,
   "NETBACKUP_RELATIONAL_DATABASE_FILES" is run automatically during patch
   installation to add this directive to the cold catalog backup configuration.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET421370

**Description:
   The NBDB database recovery (for Enterprise Media Manager (EMM) and Bare
   Metal Restore (BMR)) will fail if the master server has a newer catalog
   backup image than the one used in disaster recovery (DR).  On Windows
   platforms, it logged an error message in the progress log and displayed an
   error message box.  On UNIX platforms, because of a defect in the Java
   user interface, it reported an error message in the log and all of the
   restore jobs appeared in the job monitor as being successful.

Additional Notes:
   This maintenance pack enables a user to recover from an older catalog
   backup even though a newer catalog backup image exists on the master
   server.
       
   Full catalog disaster recovering from an older catalog backup is a
   “roll-back” operation that has the risk of data loss. Users should fully
   understand the implications and use it with caution.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET431863

Description:
   For a Hot Catalog Backup, the relational database (NBDB/Sybase ASA) backup
   job treated a cumulative and differential incremental backup the same and
   only included the transaction log in the backup.  This can create problems
   recovering the ASA database if the differential backup media created before
   the last cumulative has expired.  These differential backups contained the
   transaction logs that were necessary to roll forward from the last full
   backup.  

Workaround:
   To resolves this issue, the cumulative incremental backup is actually a
   full backup for the ASA files.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET406999

Etrack Incident = ET494547

Description:
   Device monitor showed the same tape mounted in multiple drives.  This tape
   in this scenario was also assigned to a NetBackup 5.x media server.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, do not share drives between NetBackup 6.0 media
   servers and NetBackup 5.x media servers.

Etrack Incident = ET495403 ET497074

Description:
   For media with image expiration set to infinity, nbpushdata passed an
   incorrect value for infinity to the EMM database.  This resulted in the
   media not being queried.  
       
   nbemmcmd -listmedia -mediaid <media_id> NBEMMCMD, Version:6.0(20050906)
   The function returned the following failure status:

Description:
   An extremely heavy load in the Device Allocator (DA) may cause EMM to crash.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET496437

Description:
   Some vital logs were not displaying correctly.  To be more specific, the
   form that Log:DbLogMsg is being called in the emmserver source files was
   incorrect whenever it was multi-lined in the code. As a result, only part
   of the log message survived and important log information was lost.

Etrack Incident = ET498523

**Description:
   In a rare condition one or more backups would be corrupt when using Inline
   Tape Copy (ITC) with multiplexed backups.  This would potentially happen
   under the following conditions:
       
   - ITC was enabled with two or more active copies.
   - Multiplexing was enabled with two or more active backups.
   - The schedule configuration had the "continue if the copy fails" flag set
       for the copy that failed in the next step.
   - A copy other than the first active copy encountered an "end of media", so
       a new media was needed for this copy.  In addition, there was a problem
       of getting or setting up media (for example, writing the media header)
       such that this copy failed before continuing the backup.
   - The last buffer written to the first active copy prior to the "end of
       media" on the other copy was not the first active backup.

Workaround:
   To avoid this problem, do one of the following:
   
   - Edit the schedule configuration to disable the "continue if copy fails"
       flag.
   - Disable multiplexing.
   - Disable ITC.

Etrack Incident = ET423206

Description:
   The back-level media server V_QUERY_CLEAN_BYROBNUM request caused an SQL
   error.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET424796

Description:
   NetBackup Job Manager (NBJM) deadlocks or halts when the connection to
   bpbrm breaks in the middle of a backup job.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET431510

Description:
   On initial install the Policy Execution Manager failed to start the first
   time because no IOR file existed for nbproxy.  Once an IOR file existed
   and it is not empty, then the NetBackup Service Monitor was able to restart
   the Policy Execution Manager.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, delete the IOR files listed below before starting the
   Policy Execution Manager.
       
   On UNIX:
     /usr/openv/var/nbproxy_pem.ior
     /usr/openv/var/nbproxy_pem_email.ior
       
   On Windows:
     Veritas\NetBackup\var\nbproxy_pem.ior
     Veritas\NetBackup\var\nbproxy_pem_email.ior
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET425564

Description:
   The Policy Execution Manager would crash after submitting a user-directed
   or manual backup.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET499610

**Description:
   Synthetic backup had potential data loss issues in following cases:
   -  The last full/synthetic or full expired/deleted occurred,
        followed by one or more incrementals and a synthetic backup.
   -  The last incremental/full backup catalog was compressed before
        next incremental backup took place.
   -  The TIR records in the last incremental backup are missing for
        various reasons.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET505873

Description:
   Media servers sharing drives on versions of NetBackup older than
   NetBackup 6.0 will receive host_not_registered errors when attempting to
   determine if another media server is unavailable.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET506551 ET499474 ET506690

Description:
   This entry resolves three seperate issues described in the following list:
   - Under certain conditions backups would not schedule.  This happened
       because of a problem in computing the next time a job was due.  Windows
       were not processed correctly if a backup should have run in a previous
       window if the next window opened or closed at a different time.
       
   - Advanced client VSS snapshot backup no longer causes an 805 error to
       occur.  
   
   - The scheduler always executes Full backups, even for incrementals, if the
       BMR option is on.  nbpem would use the wrong criteria for the last
       backup query made for a parent job that did not have multiple data
       streams enabled.  The result was no last full backup being found, so a
       full would be run instead of an incremental.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET496102

Description:
   As the number of VxUL log files grew, the start-up performance of bprd
   would degrade.  

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, delete the log files on a regular basis.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET506045

Description:
   nbpushdata was using emmlib_DeleteHost to remove the NDMP host when the
   following error occurred in the nbemm log.  The following is a portion of
   the log associated with the delete.  Although log-level 6 was used, it
   appeared that some log messages were missing.

Etrack Incident = ET507645

Description:
   In certain cases, when NetBackup Access Control is enabled, long-lived
   processes such as nbemm, nbpem, nbjm, nbrb, nbproxy, nbsl and vmd would
   leak memory.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET500006

Description:
   The Policy Execution Manager VxUL message catalog was missing some messages
   causing it to crash when trying to log the new messages.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET500061

Description:
   SQL SERVER backup completes normally but the client interface Displayed
   a -1 status.  This was caused by improper progress log updates.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET509509

Description:
   When spanning media, jobs occasionally appeared to be hung and the request
   was continually failing with the message, "ROBOTIC LIBRARY IS DOWN ON
   SERVER".  This would happen after an earlier failure causing the message,
   "MEDIA SERVER IS CURRENTLY NOT CONNECTED TO MASTER SERVER".  However, the
   media server properly showed the robot as up and the host as ACTIVE or
   ACTIVE-TAPE.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET509293

Description:
   The NetBackup Service Layer (NBSL) occasionally sent negative values for
   freespace and totalcapacity of a storage unit (if the values are greater
   than 2^32-1).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET508191

Description:
   vmd now retries the connection to EMM forever, instead of shutting down
   if it cannot connect to EMM.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET511728

Description:
   From the NOM user interface, it is not possible to start the service/deamon
   when NetBackup is on a UNIX Operating System.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET512560

Description:
   It is now be possible for SAN media servers to be used as write hosts for
   duplicate jobs.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET510335

Description:
   VxUL queries were failing on AIX platforms.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET510255

Description:
   Appending parentheses in the NOM filtering criteria is no longer an issue.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET510415

Description:
   New DRIVE and ROBOT Reports have now been created along with multiple
   entries for some column names.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET512866

Description:
   Removed change events for Error LogMonitoring. For example, error log
   collection functionality is removed.  In addition, the getLogMessages()
   idle method supports the error log source too; thus, NOM will call this
   method for getting error logs.  Finally, the getEventChannel()
   functionality has been removed, resulting in an AFException.
   

Additional Notes:
   Because of this fix, log monitoring of NOM 6.0 MP1 will only work with
   NetBackup 6.0 MP1.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET513093

Description:
   vmscd no longer dumps core. This occurred because vmscd received an invalid
   drive type for one of the drives while polling the drive status and vmscd
   was not handling the invalid drive type properly.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET513390

Description:
   The NetBackup Notification Service (NBNos) was running in single-threaded
   mode.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET514603

Description:
   Change made to bpexpdate such that media IDs that are less than six
   characters returned from EMM were not padded with spaces.  This caused
   bpexpdate -deassignempty to mistakenly deassign media that still had
   valid images on them.

Workaround:
   To avoid this issue, turn off the automatic start of
   bpexpdate -deassignempty by performing one of the following items:
   
     - On a UNIX master servers, create the file,
       /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpsched.d/CHECK_EXPIRED_MEDIA_INTERVAL,
       and enter a 0 (zero) on the first and only line of the file.
   
     - On a Windows master server, create the file,
       <install_path>\NetBackup\bin\bpsched.d\CHECK_EXPIRED_MEDIA_INTERVAL,
       and enter a 0 (zero) on the first and only line of the file.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET514622

Description:
   An NBSL core dump happened while stopping it when it was connected to a
   client (NOM).  The core dump would occur on Solaris and AIX platforms.
   On Windows platforms, it would hang in a 'stopping' state in the Windows
   Service Manager.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET515553 ET515559

Description:
   vmscd, before the fix, was a single process and it used to service
   requests from the EMM server synchronously. Because of this, the EMM server
   was not receiving the request response in a timely manner. In some cases,
   the EMM server would think that vmscd had exited and which then triggered
   certain operations that were redundant, and in some, cases harmful.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET511340

Description:
   Several issues have been fixed that related to back-level SSO
   interoperability:
   
   - Numerous re-registrations were consuming all of vmd's bandwidth on
     the EMM server.
   
   - Registration failures due to no scan host setting registration retry
     timer which would block back-level servers from releasing drives.
   
   - Back-level remote scanning of NetBackup 6.0 media servers was failing
     with ENOTSCANHOST and forcing still more re-registrations.

Workaround:
   To avoid these issues, do not share drives between NetBackup 6.0 and
   NetBackup 5.X media servers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET516440

Description:
   nbemm no longer core dumps on a clustered master server.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET516103

Description:
   Vault can fail while logging very long strings.

Workaround:
   Disable Vault logging.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET515838

Description:
   When the parent job (nbgenjob) performed stream discovery and it received
   an exception asking for policy information through nbproxy, it would then
   perform several retries.  On the first retry attempt the parent job would
   core dump.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack Incident = ET429245

Description:
   On HP-UX platforms, scheduled backups with file lists that contain
   multi-byte characters failed with an error 71 (None of the files in the
   files list exist).  On the Activity Monitor, the multi-byte characters
   were unreadable in the file lists within job properties.
