Re: [Veritas-bu] Serious bug w/ 6.5.2 (and beyond?): perpetually requeueing jobs, starting this weekend.

We had the issue as well, howver is
happened only on our UNIX backups, the Windiows backups seemed fine.
It started after midnight on Sat and
Sunday, and once the window closed at 6AM it stopped. The same policies
ran OK Sunday evening. We are
at 6.5.2a.

I had the same issue, but with
on 1 policy and only 1 server in that policy.
Once the window closed it stopped
kicking off jobs.

We encountered a relatively serious problem
with our (HP-UX, NBU 6.5.2) environments this weekend.
Scheduled backups ran, as expected, Friday
and Saturday evenings. Then, after finishing successfully, new, identical
jobs requeued and ran again. And again. So forth until we shut NBU down
completely.
I'm now in the process of installing 6.5.2A
(we hadn't bothered because we hadn't encountered any known 6.5.2 bugs,
except for the initial "full instead of incremental" one, and
we were past that), starting things back up, and hoping that the fix for
the "fulls instead of incrementals" bug will fix this as well.
I'll report that when I know.
We have one site that's still 6.5 GA and
it was NOT affected. If you're running anything more recent, you SHOULD
check your systems right now. They're probably still running backups over
and over. I say this because I just checked with my friends at a former
employer, a major financial institution whose name I won't mention because
I know their policies, and they're also affected in environments with Solaris,
AIX (maybe?), and Windows masters. You are probably also affected. Stop
reading this and go check. Now.
