David,
I have seen this error before. Veritas has had 3 recommendations to try to
resolve this that they had mentioned to me, but
nothing definitive.
1) make sure the /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm.lock, bpdbm_child/, and
bpdbm_parent/, file and directories exist. It appears
to be that a bpdbm process that is starting up thinks it may be a "parent" or
primary bpdbm process and can not get the port because
another it already running.
2) if the system is heavily used, try decrease the tcp_close_wait_interval
using ndd. Sun defaults to 4 minutes and Veritas
recommends changing it to 1 second. I have set it to about 10 seconds. This
is the time a socket/tcp_port remains open after it
has received a signal to close the port. This is to allow any out of sequence
packets that may arrive after the close signal to be
processed (from what I am told). This can be changed at system boot by adding
the ndd statement to /etc/rc2.d/S69inet or some other
startup file.
3) check swap space usage.
The only one of the above I have done is #2 because #1 and #3 haven't
applied to us. I am not getting the errors. However, I
usually only see them after the system has been running for a long while,
usually several weeks, so I am not sure if #2 has fixed it
or not.
