================================================================================
This
Maintenance Pack provides fixes for the Veritas NetBackup (tm) UNIX
clients. NetBackup UNIX Add-on products, Database Agents and the Java
user
interface have separate Maintenance Packs.
This
Maintenance Pack may require as much as 400MB in free space in the
/usr
partition to install. This Maintenance Pack contains a full replacement
of all
client binaries for all platforms. If applying this Maintenance
pack locally,
up to 50MB of free space is required in /usr partition,
depending on platform.
If applying this pack to a server that has had other
client platform types
loaded (for example, push install of client binaries)
more space is required,
up to 400MB. For more information, please refer to
the following TechNote:
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/280824.htm
================================================================================

New Features and
Enhancements:
------------------------------
New Features and
Enhancements:
------------------------------
This maintenance pack
primarily focuses on fixes to known issues that
include customer-specific
issues that have been documented in the form of
a Titan Case. This
release does not contain any major new
enhancements.
==================
II. KNOWN
ISSUES
==================
This section contains known issues
with this maintenance pack that have not
yet been fixed in
NetBackup. These issues will likely be fixed in future
Maintenance
Packs for this version of NetBackup.
+ (ET1185725) When running on
an AIX 5.3 system, Symantec recommends that you
install the patch
APAR IY92889 if you are installing NetBackup on a system
using the
xlC.aix50.rte C++ runtime version 8.0.0.0 or later. You can
find
this patch on the www.ibm.com Web site by entering, IY92889 in
the search
field.
+ (ET1182594) You may encounter a core
dump of dbeng9 after performing a Full
Catalog Backup Recovery. This
is not a Symantec NetBackup issue; thus, you can
delete or ignore the
core dump. Testing showed that the catalog recovery
completed
successfully and that bprecover handled the core dump issue
appropriately.
+ (ET1208336) When using NBAC on a Linux system
running a kernel at or
above 2.6.9-*, it is possible that
backups may fail after 1000 jobs have
completed. To avoid this
issue, you will need to update your VxAT version
to 4.2.2.40 or
greater.
+ (ET1212445) NetBackup will not import tapes in an ACSLS
library when the
barcode label is different than the media ID or
recorded volume serial
number (RVSN). A mismatch occurs when the
barcode and media ID do not
match in the volume
database.
A mismatch can occur for multiple reasons. Two examples
include:
1. When using tapes previously written by a different
barcode, labels
are placed into an ACSLS library using a
new barcode label.
2. The administrator attempts to change the media
ID field (using
vmchange) to match the RVSN. In this
example when the inventory is
updated, the barcode and
media ID will be synchronized.
To be able to restore from these
tapes, the media ID used when mounting
the tapes using the automatic
cartridge system daemon (ACSD) needs to
match the recorded media ID
as found in the header on the tape (RVSN).
The recommended
approach is to use a barcode label that matches the
recorded media
ID. Tapes can then be mounted in a drive with AVRD
running so
that the recorded media ID is displayed. Then, a barcode
with that
label needs to be placed on the tape. For more information
on how to
resolve this issue, refer to the following TechNote on the
Symantec
Support Web
site.
http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/279257
+ (ET1189468)
At the next major release of NetBackup, the NetBackup
Administrator's
Guide for UNIX will be updated to clarify how to set and
use the Busy
File Settings host properties. The NetBackup 6.0
Administrator's Guide instructs the user to copy bpend_notify_busy
script
to the /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpend_notify
location. However the guide
does not specify that the
bpend_notify_busy script resides on the master
server and needs to be
copied to the client machine. Thus, the each
client system will
have a goodies directory, but it will not contain the
bpend_notify_busy file.
+ The Veritas Private Branch Exchange (PBX)
software is installed along with
Veritas NetBackup
6.0. Depending on how NetBackup is installed, PBX may log
messages by default to the UNIX system logs /var/adm/messages
or
/var/adm/syslog, or to the Windows Event Log. This can cause
additional
system logging that the system administrator may not
desire. The messages
written to the system logs are the same as
those written to the PBX logs
(/opt/VRTSpbx/log on UNIX and
<install_path>\VxPBX\log on Windows).
To disable PBX
logging to the system or event logs after NetBackup has been
installed, enter the following commands:
UNIX:
cd
/opt/VRTSicsco/bin
./vxlogcfg -a -p 50936 -o 103
-s LogToOslog=false
Windows:
cd
<install_path>\VERITAS\VRTSicsco
vxlogcfg
–a –p 50936 –o 103 –s LogToOslog=false
It
should not be necessary to restart PBX for this setting to take
effect.
Any future PBX log information should no longer appear in the
system logs.
For more information about this issue or information
on how to disable the
option, refer to the following TechNote on the
Symantec Support Web site.
http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/280746
+ On all platforms,
if the server pack install fails for any reason after the
Client
pack has completed, be sure not to restart the daemons before you
attempt to install the pack again.
+ Reminder: Synthetics is not
supported on Tru64 platforms.
+ The NetBackup 6.0 Commands document
contains some incorrect information for
the bplist command. The
following 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.
+ The NetBackup 6.0 Commands document contains incorrect
information for
the vxlogcfg -r command. The following is the
revised description for this
command.
-r,
--remove
Unregisters and removes the log configuration settings
for the specified
OID and product from the product logging
configuration file. Individual
settings can be removed with the
“–s, --setting keyname=value“ option.
Caution:
Always use the -r option with the –o option. Otherwise, all of
the
existing NetBackup log settings
are removed and no further
logging
is performed for all of
NetBackup.

IV.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
=============================
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/business/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.
- If upgrading a NetBackup client on which this
Maintenance Pack has been
installed to a NetBackup server, you
must first uninstall this Maintenance
Pack, perform the upgrade
from client to server,then re-apply this
Maintenance Pack to
the new server.
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 listed below).
5) If the cluster is in a
faulted state, clear the fault.
6) Unfreeze the NetBackup
group.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There
are two ways to install the client maintenance pack software.
1. Remote
Installation: Loads the software on a master server
with
the intent of pushing client software out to affected
clients.
2. Local Installation: Loads and installs the software
only to this
local machine.
Remote client
install:
NOTE: This pack contains NetBackup Client binaries for
Linux, Red Hat 4,
and SuSE 9, on Power PC from IBM. To install these
binaries on a NetBackup
Server (for pushing to clients), you must first
create the following
directories:
mkdir
/usr/openv/netbackup/client/Linux/IBMpSeriesRedHat2.6
mkdir /usr/openv/netbackup/client/Linux/IBMpSeriesSuSE2.6
As root on
the NetBackup Master/Media 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_7_M and NB_CLT_60_7_M Maintenance Pack
binaries.
cd
/tmp
/bin/sh Vrts_pack.install
NOTE: Selecting the client Maintenance Pack on a Master/Media server will
automatically install the server maintenance pack if the server (NB)
.Z file
and README exist in the installation directory. The client
install will fail
if the (NB) .Z file and README are not present and
the server pack has not
been previously installed. The server
maintenance pack will NOT be installed
automatically during a
reinstall of the client maintenance pack.
NOTE: The
installation of the client pack on a server copies the appropriate
client binaries into place on the server. Additionally, any other client
binaries on the server will be updated so that they can then be
pushed out
using update_clients. Therefore, Symantec recommends
that you also apply
the NB JAV Maintenance Pack before running
update_clients.
NOTE: It is important that Server and Client
binaries are kept at the same
pack level on all NetBackup
Servers. This is enforced by the Pack install
process.
3) On a server ONLY: 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.
5) On a server ONLY, update the remote NetBackup clients with
the
update_clients
script.
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/update_clients
<hardware> <os>
where
<hardware> <os> is one of the
following:
ALPHA/OSF1_V5
HP-UX-IA64/HP-UX11.23
HP9000-700/HP-UX11.00
HP9000-700/HP-UX11.11
HP9000-700/HP-UX11.23
HP9000-800/HP-UX11.00
HP9000-800/HP-UX11.11
HP9000-800/HP-UX11.23
INTEL/FreeBSD5.3
Linux-IA64/RedHat2.4
Linux-IA64/SuSE2.4
Linux/IBMzSeriesLinux2.4.21
Linux/IBMpSeriesRedHat2.6
Linux/IBMpSeriesSuSE2.6
Linux/RedHat2.4
MACINTOSH/MacOSX10.3
RS6000/AIX5
SGI/IRIX65
Solaris/Solaris8
Solaris/Solaris9
Solaris/Solaris10
Solaris/Solaris_x86_8
Solaris/Solaris_x86_9
Solaris/Solaris_x86_10
Note: The /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/update_clients command
without
any parameters will update
all the UNIX clients.
Note: When updating an RS6000 client, there may be
circumstances
where update_clients
will fail with an error similar to
this:
Couldn't open
/usr/openv/lib/libVmangle.so on client
Client open errno =
26
If this happens, execute
/usr/sbin/slibclean on the client
to be updated and re-run update_clients.
If the client (CLT) .Z file and
README exist in the installation
directory during the installation of the
server maintenance pack,
the Vrts_pack.install script will install the
client
maintenance pack automatically. The client maintenance pack will
NOT
be installed automatically during a reinstall of the server
maintenance pack.
Local client install:
The install
script will determine if a local client install is appropriate
and choose
the appropriate client type to install.
As root on the NetBackup
client:
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_CLT_60_7_M Maintenance Pack
binaries.
cd /tmp
/bin/sh
Vrts_pack.install
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 machine
if the
client maintenance pack software was installed directly on
the
machine. This uninstall procedure will NOT
work on clients that were
installed by pushing the
software from a server.
As root on the NetBackup
Master/Media Server in which the maintenance pack
was
installed:
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 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
update_clients was run after the pack was originally INSTALLED,
run it again after that pack is successfully
UNINSTALLED.
6) If necessary, restart the NetBackup and
Media Manager
daemons:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup
start

issue, the following conditions were required to
ensure the
issue had been fixed:
- The policy is
multi-streamed, checkpoint restart, full and
incremental
schedule is set, and has it has more
than 1 stream configured.
A storage unit must be
disk based and the retention level is
different
in the two schedules.

schedule)
- Stream 2 or higher fails with a disk full and
exceeds failure
history. (full
schedule)

state is longer that the
incremental
frequency.
- The parent job retries, however Stream 1 now tries
to run an
incremental backup. (failure would
occur)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack
Incident = ET1202780
Description:
A change was made so
a parent job (nbgenjob) can obtain the file list from
the job

an updated nbsu (version 1.2.6) that includes
the
following:
- Added the

MM_get_ltid_tables
diagnostic
checks.
- Modified the default nbsu behavior to avoid
running the bpcoverage
command unless the
NB_bpcoverage diagnostic is explicitly
specified.
This will improve the
performance of this utility when run in
an
environment with a large number of
backup clients.
- On Solaris, altered the NET_ndd
diagnostic to include
additional
information.
-
Added the -L bpplist command line option to the
NBU_bpplist
diagnostic.
-
Modified the default nbsu behavior to always collect
troubleshooting
diagnostics along with the
configuration diagnostics. This will
help
guarantee that this utility will not have to
be re-run to gather
additional data, but it will
increase the time needed to run nbsu.

Etrack
Incident = ET1277786
Titan cases: 290-914-792
Description:
A NetBackup process may core dump, and the connectToObject()
call is in
the stack trace. This artifact was seen on AIX
systems.
Additional Notes:
The use of NBAC where
security was optional would sometimes exacerbate
this behavior,
because connections were tried twice, once in secure mode,
and
the second time in insecure mode, depending on the
configuration.
A High Availability (HA) cluster configuration
would be affected by this
problem if an affected NetBackup
process core dumped and prevented a
proper fail-over.

Description:
The NetBackup-Java
Administration Console would not configure a TLD
robot with 255
drives. More specifically, the device
configuration
wizard would not configure the robot controller,
stating that it has
too many
drives.
The media server would build 128 tape
paths, leaving the other 128
with only a sg path. This
made only 128 tape drives available for
the server to use.

Titan
cases: 280-859-612
Description:
In certain
circumstances, the delay between bptm/bpdm sending their
exit
status to bpduplicate and bpduplicate receiving it could be
great
enough to cause bptm/bpdm to shutdown before the
transaction was
complete. This caused bpduplicate to wait
beyond the end of the actual
job and eventually failed the
entire job.

cases: 220-101-140
Description:
This changes what
is deleted during disk backup errors. Previously,
the
current working fragment was the only fragment that was
removed
before bpXm exits. It was left to the catalog to
remove any other
fragments as part of the expiration and
cleanup process.
With this change, the bpXm
process removes all fragments it can safely
remove for the
backup in progress in addition to the fragment in
progress. An
exception is the case when backup checkpoints
exist. The
cleanup process does not remove backup
checkpoints.

Description:
Network Data
Management Protocol (NDMP) incremental backups that
included
two or more paths, where the first path had no changed
files,
were failing to verify.
Additional Notes:
A change was added that prevents the problem from occurring
with
backups taken after this fix is installed. Backups
that were taken
prior to installing this pack could still fail

Description:
Synthetic backup run on policies in which some of the catalog
images
were compressed would uncompress the catalog images to

left the original compressed file untouched and
caused an increase in

With this patch, the
compressed images are uncompressed for the
duration of the
synthetic backup catalog query, then compressed again.
Workaround:
To avoid this issue, set the catalog image compression to not
occur
until after synthetic policies are run.

cases: 220-099-185
Description:
A change was
added that offers a less aggressive unloading of drives using
a
touchfile on the EMM server.
Additional Notes:
The
following is the touchfile on the EMM server that triggers
the
unloading of files:
"/usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/RB_DISABLE_REAL_UNLOADS_ON_DEMAND"
The following items describe the behavior
of this touchfile:
1) The media unload delay will remain
at the default of three minutes
for user backup jobs.
2) If there is another job in the queue
that can use the media where it is
mounted, then that
job can still get the media ahead of the next user
backup job.
3) If there is another job in
the queue that can use the drive on a
different media
server or with different media, the drive will NOT be
unloaded until the media unload delay expires.
The primary behavior changed in this touchfile is described in
item
number 3. Without the touchfile, the drive could be
unloaded if there
is a job in the queue that could use the
drive on a different media
server or with different
media

Description:
The Policy
Execution Manager may fail with a status 200 if the file
list
starts with two or more consecutive NEW_STREAM directives
or may run the

gaps in the STREAMS file
from having two or more consecutive
NEW_STREAM directives in the file
list. The Policy
Execution Manager was changed to filter consecutive
NEW_STREAM
directives in the file list to prevent gaps in the STREAMS
file
which caused only some of the streams to be started.
Workaround:
To resolve this issue, remove two or more
consecutive NEW_STREAM directives
from the file

**Description:
The Policy
Execution Manager was not honoring a pre-process interval.
A
change was made that ensures the stream discovery honors the
pre-process
interval on a per policy basis by creating a
STREAMS file for each policy
instead of having one file for all
of the policies.
Additional Notes:
NOTE: Creating a
new STREAMS file will cause incremental (INCR) backups
to run
as FULL backups; thus, the previous STREAMS data will not
be
contained or copied. Users who do not have enough disk space
to hold a
second full backup should consider implementing a
workaround. For more
information about this issue as well as a
possible work-around, refer to

Incident = ET605200
Description:
UNIX domain socket
files with path names of the form /tmp/vnet*
were periodically
created on UNIX/Linux NetBackup systems. Most
of these
files were only needed for a few minutes and were
quickly
deleted. If NetBackup processes terminate
abnormally before the
/tmp/vnet* file can be deleted, then
these files could accumulate
on the user's
system.
This patch periodically deletes old
(more than one hour) /tmp/vnet* UNIX
domain socket
files.
Previously the Java server (bpjava)
would also use UNIX domain socket file
paths of the form
/tmp/vnet*. Since these files often need to exist
for
several hours, the automated cleanup could cause
problems. In this patch,
the form of the bpjava UNIX
domain socket file path names has changed to
/tmp/jbp*.

the database winds
up with the incorrect version. Again, nbemm will
not

Description:
Some languages use a
comma, instead of a period, to delimit the fractional
portion
of a floating point number. If the default language is set to one
of these language, some operations might
fail. Specifically, any time a
floating point parameter
is passed to the EMM server database it will
reject a floating
point number delimited by a comma, instead of a
period.
One example of this is attempting to
change or set the cleaning frequency
of a

Workaround:
To resolve this issue, change
the decimal point character from a comma
to a period
('.'). This can be done by modifying the locale or
switching
to a different locale, such as US

Etrack
Incident = ET865243
Description:
If the NBDB database
is not created properly during installation, the
install
continues, however the user may not understand that there was
an
issue creating the database. As a result, the user may
encounter errors
in the command line and the user
interfaces.
In addition, if during a
patch installation that nbnd_upgrade fails, the
database ends
up with the incorrect version. Again, nbemm will not
start
because of the version
mismatch.
Changes have been made so that the
install will fail if the database
cannot be created or upgraded
and installation warnings will be logged in
a new logging
directory for nbnd commands. The new directories
are:
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/nbdb
Windows: InstallPath\NetBackup\logs\nbdb

Description:
Changes were
made to address scalability issues with NBPEM
because
unnecessary computations were being performed of the

Etrack
Incident = ET841107
Description:
During a synthetic
backup job, one of the source images for the synthetic

expire. If this happens, when the bptm or bpdm reader attempts
to
read the image, it will experience a "no entity found" error
from the

particular case, the reader will
enter a code that causes it to
hang up
indefinitely.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack
Incident = ET847324
Description:
Duplicate forms of the
.ds file may be created as part of the NetBackup 5.x
to
NetBackup 6.x upgrade process that cause bptm or bpbrmds to crash.
For
example,
beany_1162489194_C1_F1.ds.info
beany_1162489194_C1_F1.ds.1162489194.img
beany_1162489194_C1_F1.ds.1162489194.info
beany_1162489194_C1_F1.ds
Workaround:
Normally, NetBackup perceives a .img and
.info file as one "file" to its
I/O layer. There is a
special compatibility mode that enables it to see
the extra .ds
and its .info file as the same file in the previous
pair.
To avoid this issue, remove one of the
pairs, preferably the .img file and
its .info
file.

A change was added that
prevents the child from starting since it is
not
resumable. The new result will correctly be a 200

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack
Incident = ET850303
Description:
There is a timing
issue with bringing the cluster online and running
runtpext.
Bringing the cluster online (which can be slow), has an
adverse
affect on the runtpext custom action that requests ltid.exe
and
vmd.exe to be bounced. On some clustered NetBackup
systems that have a
large number of devices (tape drives and
robots) this can hang the
cluster
install.
Workaround:
To resolve this issue, go
into the Windows Task Manager and kill both the
"ltid.exe" and
"vmd.exe" processes. The install will then continue
and
complete
successfully.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack
Incident = ET614569
Description:
True Image Restore
Plus (TIR+) backups currently delete any
TIR information files
that are 10 days old or more. Symantec
added a new touch
file for UNIX clients to set the number of
days to keep the TIR
information files. The default will
remain 10 days, but
that can now be set to a value higher
than 10 if
desired. In addition, setting this value to 0
(zero)
makes NetBackup never delete old TIR information
files.
The touch file is called
/usr/openv/netbackup/TIR_INFO_KEEP_DAYS.
Simply put an integer
value in this file that represents the
number of days to keep
the TIR information files. Numbers that
are less than 10
will set the value to 10 (other than 0).

Etrack
Incident = ET853592
Description:
An archive job may
complete with the following error:
"EXIT STATUS 3: valid archive image produced, but no
files
deleted due to non-fatal
problems"
This is an issue in the underlying
operating system and not
NetBackup. This patch detects the
condition and takes the
additional steps necessary to handle
it.
Workaround:
To resolve this issue, the user may
manually remove the backed up
files after the archive
completes. Note that care must be taken
not to remove files
that are created or modified after the start
of the archive
job.

Associated Primary Etrack = ET857531
Description:
Policy Execution Manager would stop processing manual backup
jobs when
house keeping was performed (bptm delete_expired).
The worst case
scenario was when the media server could not be
reached. The Policy
Execution Manager would then wait for
the time out

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack
Incident = ET863396
Description:
NDMP backup fails when
TIR data spans tapes. This failure occurs only for
NDMP
local or NDMP 3-way (backup to an NDMP drive).
Workaround:
Rerunning the backup to a different media will likely work
since it is
unlikely that tape spanning will occur during TIR
data. (This is because
the TIR data is usually a fraction of
the size of the backup image itself.)
Another
approach is add the following line to the
file
<installdir>/netbackup/db/config/ndmp.cfg
NDMP_MOVER_CLIENT_DISABLE
Adding this line
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 = ET616381
Description:
In NetBackup-Java
Administration Console, inventory of a robot attached to
a
cluster node resulted in volumes being added with the cluster node as
the
robot control host and not the virtual host
name. This behavior has been
changed to make the virtual

Incident = ET895584
Associated Primary Etrack = ET786448
Description:
NetBackup for Lotus Notes parses all the paths in
the
LOTUS_NOTES_PATH variable to determine the Lotus
program
directory. The first path in the LOTUS_NOTES_PATH
variable
in which "bin/server" is present is treated as a Lotus
Program
directory. If any other path (for example, the
Lotus data
directory) which is present in the beginning and
"bin/server",
exists in that path then it is misinterpreted as
Lotus program
directory. This causes the backup to fail with a
status 9 error.
Workaround:
To resolve this issue,
enter the path of the Lotus program
directory in the beginning
of LOTUS_NOTES_PATH variable.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description:
When drives are selected for NDMP restores, NetBackup media
servers are
preferred over NDMP tape servers that are not local
to the NDMP host being
restored to.
Workaround:
If a media server has drives with paths to both NetBackup and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack
Incident = ET852171
Description:
The EMM server does
not reject a client-provided media_id such as, '------'.
This

Incident = ET846076
Description:
An incremental hot
catalog backup would fail with a 190 error if the master
server
name configured in the hot catalog backup policy differed from
the
currently active master server name where each name is a
valid name for the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack
Incident = ET863389
Description:
Duplication of NDMP
image fails when using non-NDMP drives.
This
problem only occurs when the duplication is using the shared
memory
method (SHM) method. In NetBackup 6.0, this
happens for any NDMP backup
that used MM (non-NDMP) drives
(also known as, "Remote NDMP"). In addition,
this happens if an
NDMP image is duplicated to a non-NDMP drive and then
the
duplicated image is duplicated.
The progress
log shows the following error:
ERR - Unable to
create data socket to receive TIR data.
Workaround:
To avoid this issue, disable the shared memory method by
adding the
following touch
file:
<installdir>/netbackup/NOSHMDUP
Additional
Notes:
This problem has been fixed in this maintenance pack,
such that all
duplications of NDMP backup images using non-NDMP
drives will now use
the shared memory
method.
(This problem was solved by disabling
shared memory method for all
NDMP images in the NetBackup 5.1
maintenance packs.)

Associated Primary Etrack = ET897092
Description:
NetBackup Job Manager (NBJM) could take a long time to unload
drives,
or fail to unload drives because the media servers all
had multiple
endpoints, many that were on unreachable

For example, an unreachable network
would take about 225 seconds to
fail on Solaris, and some
callbacks would take about 10 to 15 minutes
to iterate all
failed endpoints.
A change was added to the

only attempt
those endpoints that match the server list.

Etrack
Incident = ET861506
Description:
The Job Manager must
forward a snap ID from a non-streamed Windows open
file backup
(WOFB) to the Policy Execution Manager for VSP cache files
to
be cleaned. In addition, changed the Policy Execution Manager to
add
SNAP_ID directives to include the file
list.

Etrack
Incident = ET918477
Associated Primary Etrack = ET917028
Description:
This is limited to the Nearstore storage
unit.
If an incremental backup was done after a synthetic full
backup, and no
other full backups existed on that volume, then
the incremental would
fail.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack
Incident = ET899124
Associated Primary Etrack = ET899121
Description:
This issue only affected restores from Nearstore storage
units.
Non-full backups (a subset of the entire backup ) where
files were pulled
from fragments other than fragment 1 would
fail. The issue was that the
image relative offset was
not being tracked and NetBackup was seeking to
the incorrect
offset within the image.
Workaround:
To resolve
this issue, use the Nearstore File System Export
functionality
or duplicate the entire backup to basic disk or
some other media.

Description:
NetBackup shutdown
would not terminate parent jobs (nbgenjob). A change
was
made to the Policy Execution Manager to terminate all parent
jobs
with a 50 status
(EC_client_aborted).
Workaround:
To resolve this
issue, manually terminate all nbgenjob processes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack
Incident = ET866302 ET893368
Description:
The catalog
cleanup process will not run to completion because it yields
to
a catalog backup. If the cleanup process is long or if
catalog backups are
frequent, the cleanup will not be able to
delete expired images.
This maintenance pack
contains a fix that enables catalog cleanup and
catalog backup
to run in parallel. If a cleanup operation runs when a
hot
catalog backup is in progress, it might delete images that
were sent to
bpbkar earlier (in its image directive list), and
cause the hot catalog
backup to finish with a partial success.
This fix detects this situation
and returns the right error
code to bpbkar.
The cleanup and catalog
backup running in parallel is now the
default
behavior. However, this can be disabled by
creating a file called
"CLEANUP_WAIT_FOR_CATBKUP" in
netbackup/db/config (for UNIX) and
\NetBackup\db\config (for
Windows).
This fix also enables images to be
expired and deleted using bpexpdate
even when a hot catalog
backup is in progress.
Workaround:
To resolve this
issue, disable hot catalog backups to allow cleanup to
run to
completion.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack
Incident = ET808281
Description:
bpdbm incorrectly sets
the PFI_TYPE to 0. It must check if the copy being

Associated Primary Etrack = ET964501
Description:
Duplication (with multiplexing preserved) hangs for
multiplexed TIR
images when using NetBackup 6.0
MP4.
Workaround:
To resolve this issue, do not
preserve multiplexing when duplicating,
or do not use
multiplexing. In addition, this may slow down
performance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack
Incident = ET962923
Description:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack
Incident = ET965512
Description:
The VSS authorization
tables were updated to include the new EMM
interfaces.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack
Incident = ET983962
Description:
An earlier change was
made to keep track of open file
descriptors. Descriptors
are pushed onto a stack as files
are opened and popped from the
stack when they are closed.
For file pointers the fileno of the
pointer is used. On
Linux, when a file pointer is closed,
the pointer value is
reset by the operating system. This
caused problems with
fileno and it is possible to cause
segmentation violations.
The fix is to
replace existing "close then pop" sequences
with a macro that
does a "pop then close" sequence on Linux
and a "close then
pop" on other platforms.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack
Incident = ET990874
Associated Primary Etrack = ET974535
Description:
A timing problem was introduced in the last patch that
could
cause multiplexed TIR backups to fail. This was due
to a
backup ending as another was recording the TIR
information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack
Incident = ET831965
Description:
NetBackup 6.0 disk
staging storage unit’s high water mark (HWM) and
low
water mark (LMW) are not changeable for an application
cluster
(AppCluster) configuration. Currently, the
AppCluster Configuration does
not have a NetBackup version so
it is treated as a pre-NetBackup 6.0
storage unit, where the
HWM is set to the previous behavior of 100 percent
and a LWM
did not exist, therefore it is set to a default value of
80
percent. Both of these settings were new in NetBackup 6.0 and are
not
configurable in pre-NetBackup 6.0 versions.
Workaround:
The AppCluster version number must be at
the same version level as
the servers that make up the
AppCluster. To resolve this issue, the
user should
manually enter the NetBackup version number for the
AppCluster
using the nbbemmcmd command. In addition, all of the
NetBackup
servers in the AppCluster should be at the same,
specified
version.
As an
example, you would use the following command on the
master
server to update the NetBackup version number for an
AppCluster.
nbemmcmd -updatehost -machinename
virtual_name -machinetype app_cluster
-netbackupversion
6.0
where virtual_name is the virtual name of
the application (AppCluster).

Etrack
Incident = ET991647
Associated Primary Etrack = ET990896
Description:
After installing the BMR boot server to a Windows system with
a
NetBackup 6.0 MP maintenance pack installed, and then
performing a repair
on the pack to apply the BMR boot server
binaries, the user should copy
the binaries to the correct
directory location. If a NetBackup
installation was
installed to a alternate location, the repair will
not
correctly apply the patch binaries to the alternate
location.
Workaround:
Again, to resolve this
issue, copy the binaries, after performing the
"repair" option
to the correct directory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack
Incident = ET992949
Description:
V_snprintf uses
vsnprintf to implement a fix for uncommon strcat
usage. On
the Windows platforms, vsnprintf did not
guarantee a null terminated buffer.
Specifically, this
was true if the data in the buffer exactly filled the
destination without leaving room for the null
termination. In this case,
the buffer would not be null
terminated and the function would crash when
V_strlcpy is
called.

Etrack
Incident = ET992223
Description:
When checkpoint
restart was enabled, and the "continue" flag was set in
the
schedule, bptm terminated the copy when an error on that
copy
occurred. When the copy terminates, for
multiplexing, no more jobs were
scheduled for the multiplexed
group. However, in rare cases there is a
timing window where
jobs may have already been started but not yet
processed by
bptm. In this case, incomplete fragment cleanup
occurred
for the failed copy.

Description:
TIR files that were than 2GB were not able to be read because
the size was

Bpbkar would cause a Dr Watson error
on the client while backing up
encrypted files. The job
consistently failed with an exit status 13
while backing up
the following directory: E:\QuickBase\server\dbs\.
Files that were backed up were continuously
changing. A third party
application would capture changes made
from the end user (web user)
to a .delta file, the delta file
was then written to the files in the
directory,
"E:\QuickBase\server\dbs\", only after the user had closed
the
web application. The .delta files were continuously changing,
and
the changes made to the directory were approximately 10
gigabytes

Description:
After a WOFB backup, bpbkar32 would clean up an
active
FlashBackup- Windows snapshot - because PEM did not send
the
SET SNAP_ID for snapshots that should be retained on the
client.
Workaround:
To resolve this issue, reschedule
the backups of the C: and D: drives so
that they start -and-
complete at non-overlapping time periods
However, for some
customers this is not practical because they may have
volumes
that are in the range of 800GB ~ 1TB. In addition, some of
their
servers may have more than one volume that needs to be
protected
using
Flashbackup
In this
circumstance, Symantec suggests the customer sets the
priority
of the C: drive backup to a higher value than the
Flashbackup policy;
and then for the affected clients that are
part of their Flashbackup
policies, using the Master Server
Host Properties > Client Attributes >
Set Max jobs/client
option and setting it to 1.

Description:
Running backups that
have streaming enabled (and perform
incremental backups whose
file list changes) may encountered
the following
problem.
When stream discovery is done and
some existing streams are shuffled
because new files are being
added or existing streams being deleted,
the streams files are
shuffled but the "lastbackup" time is saved for
the streams
that remain. Therefore, when a new stream maps to
a
preexisting stream with a date of zero (since there was no
prior
backup) you want to avoid doing a query for "lastbackup"
with that
stream number because it will return the "lastbackup"
time for the
stream that was shuffled or deleted. If you
avoid doing a query
for "lastbackup" when the date is zero you
also keep the streams
from shuffling and the query returning a
"lastbackup" time from a
different stream.

Description:
Hot
Catalog Backup would not backup images when IDIRSTRUCT equaled

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

Etrack
Incident = ET645645
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 = ET646623
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.

NDMP_MOVER_CLIENT_DISABLE
This
will have a minimal impact on backups. However it will cause

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>

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.

because they
are time-based pruning, while VxUL log recycling

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
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).

Description:
Buffer overflow areas have been
identified and corrected in daemons running
on Veritas

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack
Incident = ET775510
Description:
A restore of a large

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

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

multiplexed.
- The backup had multiple fragments for the disk
copy.
- A duplicate from a disk copy to tape was performed, and
the source and

Etrack
Incident = ET789170
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 = ET784650
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 = ET781386
Description:
There may be cases
where configuring either shared libraries or shared

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 = 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.

Description:
Parent images have no

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etrack
Incident = ET800184
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.

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

Workaround:
To avoid this issue, do not generate a large number of policy

them over time to limit
the impact on the Policy Execution
Manager.

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.

fail with a 41 status ("network connection timed out") if
one
client cannot be contacted.
Workaround:
To avoid this issue, run the backups as non-multiplexed.

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 = 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 = ET832946
Description:
Changes were added
that eliminate the possibility of a user not being
able to
login to NOM. This intermittent problem would cause the NOM
user
interface to become unusable until it was
restarted.
Workaround:
NOM can run as many as
five reports simultaneously. If you try to run a
sixth
report, the report request will go into a queue. The report
will
start running only after one of the previous reports
completes running.
This delay may cause you to beleive that the
run report page in the NOM
user interface has
hung.
The pie charts you see on the
overview pages are a type of graphical
report. So, if five
reports are already running, instead of seeing
pie-charts, you
will see the message, “pie charts unavailable,” message
on
the overview
screens.

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
Description:
It was possible to

or
