2 things.

 

The parent_end/start only runs on the master server.  So if you use that you will have to script it to run the command over on the client.

 

The bpstart/end runs on the client but – will run for each job on the client. – you can make it bpstart_notify.policy.schedule .bat so it only runs for jobs in that policy and that schedule – but again it will run for each child job.  So if you use that, try to make it so it is the only job under that policy.schedule so it does not run for anything else.

Hi,

 

Use the bpstart_notify and bpend_notify scripts to do this.

On each client make a:

bpstart_notify.bat

bpend_notify.bat

located in C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin catalog

Insert your NET STOP and NET START command in the script files ( bpstart_notify.bat should contain the NET STOP command) on the servers you need to stop AV.

 

This should fix your problem J

 

Regards

Kenneth

Hello all

I wanted to revisit this problem, seeing as I am on 6.5.3 for clients and Master / Media / Windows 2003 SP2

 

Last time I had a problem on Oracle. Good news is, I dont need to this, but I do have a problem with an Oracle, Exhange and some file level systems while the AV is running and the Backups runs.

 

I have a Policy with 10 clients, All Win2k3. This Policy allows for Multiple Data Streams.

 

What I need to do is during the backup, I need to shutdown the Relevant AV services, and restart ONLY when the entire job has completed on the clients.

 

I recall a script in 6.5.3 called Parent_start and Parent end. I just wondered if anyone uses this, or could tell me if this would help me get around the problem.

 

Essentially, I only need to use the Windows command NET STOP <ServiceName> and when the backup completes (regardless of status) NET START <ServiceName>

 

With 5.1, it was problematic, as a client could have 5 volumes, and although I can stop the Service just fine, if one partition ended quickly, the Service would start up! This is due to the streaming as I read it.

 

Any advice is very welcome, Thanks again

Simon
