[Veritas-bu] bpsched -mainempty?

Yes, there were abnormal terminations of backup jobs--not manually, but
an abnormal error code.  Before I hit the 'send' button on my last post,
I forgot to include that 3 jobs returned 205:

205 cannot connect to server backup restore manager

I'm not entirely sure how long they are running as there is only a time,
no date.  The mainempty process started at 19:08 and the time that all
the incrementals are scheduled to start at 19:00.  Now there is only one
'mainempty' process.  Here's the output of 'ps -ef|grep bpsched':

 root 16014  1337  0 10:08:08 ?        0:00
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpsched
    root 16806 10115  0 10:55:49 pts/7    0:00 grep bpsched
    root  9590     1  0 19:08:04 ?        0:07
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpsched -mainempty


I just re-checked the tapes, and the 38 available tapes are in the
correct Pool.

Hope this helps.


Regards,

RCA
