Gerrit,
If you create the following file:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/CLEAN_IN_BACKGROUND
this will enable jobs to schedule and run even when
the db clean is running.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
max

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Scheduler stopped checking for one hour?
Thanks, Larry, Jagtar, Penelope, and Shahar for your input and thoughts;
hopefully I didn't miss anyone. While an errant Daylight Saving Time
process sounded the most interesting, I think the root cause in our case is
the database cleaning which NetBackup does when there are no backup jobs
running. An image DB cleaning started at 2:05 that same morning and a media
DB cleaning at 2:27. So ironically the fact that there was no activity for
a short while before an important class started, the jobs in that class was
delayed. (Usually the admins of the machines in that class are concerned
about contention, now they have a problem which seems to trace back to lack
of contention. :-)
Since the cleaning does take a while, an hour in our case, I do wonder if it
is possible to set a "Don't clean the databases during this time" flag.
Thanks again....Gerrit
