Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 6.5 and holding Jobs

And no, "nbpemreq -suspend_scheduling" does not carry over across daemon bounces or reboots. If you want to not have jobs trigger immediately after those actions, you'll need to either disable your NB startup script or be really quick with another suspend command.

Len,

That doesn’t appear to be a documented command line switch. So how do you turn scheduling back on after using it?

Thanks,

Scott

Ok, when I was on 5.1 I could change the behavior file to # of tries 0 and rereadconfig to allow NB to be running but no new jobs to kick off. But I could still submit jobs manually.

When I went to 6.5, VERITAS told me to just stop the bprd daemon. Well, with that not running I can not submit jobs manually.

Sometimes, I am working on the master server and bring up netbackup and don't want any jobs to run.

Anybody have any ideas on how to do this?
