Re: [Veritas-bu] (41) network connection timed out

Have you verified your NIC settings from the client to the switch? In our environment the GigE are autonegotiate, 100MB are full Duplex no auto negotiate.
A mismatch between the Cleint's NIC and the switch can cause problems.

Subject	[Veritas-bu] (41) network connection timed out

Hello. When I run a backup job, I get a "(41) network connection timed out" error. The backup job triggers a bpstart_notify.$Policy_Name script. In this script, I have a sleep 900 statement. So that this doesn't cause any problems, I increased the BPSTART_TIMEOUT in /opt/openv/netbackup/bp.conf on the master+media server. I also restarted all the netbackup processes (I ran /etc/init.d/netbackup stop && /etc/init.d/netbackup start). In the "Client Properties" of this client, i set the "client read timeout" to 1000. Restarted netbackup afterwards. But I still get this error message. BUT: I only get that error message, when I backup to tape. When I change the schedule of this policy so, that it stores the backup stuff on a "filesystem" policy storage unit, I do not get that error message. However, backups to tape work just fine, when I decrease the sleep value from 900 (to 1, for example). Q: Would anyone know, why I get those (41) error messages, when I have the large "sleep" set and backup to tape? Or why do I *not* get those error messages, when I backup to disk (with a large sleep)? On the master server, there's a /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpstart_notify.Unix script. There's no script bpstart_notify.$Policy.$Schedule. The exact same script also exists on the client. Using NetBackup 6.0MP4 on Solaris 10 (client and server). There's just one server - it acts as master & media server. Thanks a lot, Michael _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu AT mailman.eng.auburn DOT eduhttp://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
