Re: [Veritas-bu] bpbkar: ERR - bpbkar FATAL exit status =40: network con

If you're using GigE, you want auto/auto.

There are apparantly some card/drivers that still work better with 100Mb/s links fixed speed/duplex.

In any case both sides (switch/host) must be set the same....either both auto, or both fixed.

if you have one side fixed and one side auto, you will end up with the auto side going to half duplex, which obviously doesn't not communicate well with the other side being fixed at full duplex.

Can you help in getting the document which states that NIC and switch setting should be 100 Mbps/1Gbps full duplex not auto negaotiate, i am running the enivironment in which we have 1 Gbps LAN, NIC and Switch is auto negotiate and most of the backup runs good, but few backups has very less speed.

I am unable to prove the auto negotiable thing to my management.

We have found this in most cases to be related to NIC settings being our of sync.
Or related to firewall performance if the backup is coming through a firewall.

For 100MB both NIC and switch should be 100FDX no auto negotiate.

There are some regristry hacks to deal with the firewall issue.

The usual information I see is 04:27:05.852 [81170] <16> bpbkar: ERR - bpbkar killed by SIGPIPE 04:27:05.882 [81170] <16> bpbkar: ERR - bpbkar FATAL exit status = 40: network connection broken 04:27:05.886 [81170] <4> bpbkar: INF - EXIT STATUS 40: network connection broken I performed all the name resolution process from nslookup up to the Netbackup tools "bpclntcmd" all are successful and able to communicate to both client and the server/media. But the message above frequently appears on the logs. Is this a heavy network load issue? +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by dgrabs03 AT gmail DOT com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to abuse AT backupcentral DOT com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu AT mailman.eng.auburn DOT edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
