We also faced same issue and below is the Symantec recommendation which resolved it


There are two things I would recommend to minimize these kinds of things happening in the future. Both will require a restart of NetBackup on the master so most likely you will need a maintenance window.
 
The first thing is to tune the resource broker (nbrb) so it releases resources faster. Below is the technote on how to do this:
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH57942
 
The second things is to clear out all the stale CORBA handles. Some of them go all the way back to 2009:
-rw-rw-rw-   1 root     root         455 Sep  8  2009 nbproxy_nbsl-DeviceManagement-101.ior.mgr
-rw-rw-rw-   1 root     root         455 Sep 16  2009 nbproxy_nbsl-DeviceManagement-104.ior.mgr

Below is the technote on how to do this:
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH75227
 
It is not directly related but is always a good practice to clear these out. They can cause the system to run out of sockets. Let me know if you need anything else. If not I would like to close the case.

Hi All


   My netbackup infrastructure is running AIX 5.3 , 64 bit OS and verion of netbackup is 6.5.5


It was previously on 6.5.4 , but after symantec recommendation, i updraded it to 6.5.5.Infrastructure is resposible of taking 35-40 TB daily backup with around more then 150 SAN media servers.


Problem description :- NBRB doesnot release resources more often , when the backup completes. I found the resources still allocated to the job id that has already completed 2 days back. if i manually release the resources , new allocation comes and  that too for the garbage job or for the old job.


Has any one faced this problem earlier. Pls help
