Haven't used Solaris in a while but this reminds me of a time I did an
update on some Solaris production servers and found the patch included a
default st.conf that overwrote the specific entries we'd made for our
AIT libraries. Maybe your patch overwrote some key file?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Issues with NetBackup after applying Solaris
patches
=20
Hey all!=20
We've begun rolling out our annual patch cluster for Solaris (we're
running 8 right now) and as soon as it was installed, we began to
experience some very strange issues with NetBackup.
Environment:=20
Solaris 8 (patch cluster installed was 10/2005). We have also since
patched the CE card and TCP to the latest available patch levels
Sun F15k domain (4x8, single board)=20
4 IP addresses across 4 subnets on both the master/media and the media
server=20
NetBackup 5.0 MP6 for Solaris=20
NetBackup 5.0 MP5 for NDMP=20
Filers are:=20
NetApp w/tape attached is Release 6.5.2R1P10 =20
NetApp w/out tape are Release 6.4.5=20
Issues:=20
1. All NDMP backups with DAR enabled no longer work. However, if we set
the HIST_FILE =3D N in the policy include configuration, it works fine. =
3
NetApps, same problem with each one. 1 has tape attached thru the SAN
and the others back up thru it.
2. 211, 213 and 195 errors happen nightly on clients. Backups running
thru the master/media itself do not experience issues, however, backups
running thru media servers or SAN media servers will get these errors.
The backups will generally re-run successfully, if they run thru another
media server. SAN Media server backups will fail completely. This
doesn't happen on the same clients every night and some nights doesn't
happen at all.
3. Backups get sent to the worklist but the PID dies so quickly that
the job looks to be running (bpdbjobs) but the PID isn't active on the
master anymore, nor is there any real activity within Netbackup (no
tapes mounted, not writing going on, no database entries being created,
etc.). The only way to get rid of these *active* jobs is to completely
recycle Netbackup (bp.kill_all).
Steps taken so far:=20
We have disabled all but the PRIMARY interface on the Master and Media
server and are no longer getting 211, 213 and 195 errors, however the
NDMP/w DAR still do not work. We're going to start adding interfaces
back in and see at what point it breaks again.=20
If anyone has seen anything like this can you please let me know if
you've resolved it? We're at backline w/ Sun and about to be escalated
to backline w/ Veritas. =20
Thanks!
