Re: [Veritas-bu] bpbrm utilizing 99.9% CPU

No stuck jobs, however one did run way too long and I had to stop it
manually. One odd thing I did notice was that the time on the
master/media server was in the future by one day and a few hours. I
changed the time back to current but not sure if it fixed anything other
than the scheduling. I killed it and restarted it about 11 days ago and
yet it still does the CPU time hogging. Wonder if it is a bug or a
feature :)

Dustin,
Do you have any stuck jobs? I've seen this happen in the past where a
client also has problems. Backups generate incomplete errors and the
master/media server responsible for writing the data gets stuck like
this. Other backups ran fine, and if the problem persisted over more
than one day, only the client would fail completely. Most of the time I
could kill -9 on the client and restart netbackup on the master/media
servers.
The problem I experienced was with a solaris 8 client crashing and
restarting each day, up until the zombie processes consumed enough
resources that a new backup job would not start. Sometimes while the
client was quietly going bad and the backups would finish successfully
on attempt 2 or 3, I would see bpbrm consuming a lot of CPU time.
This happened more to me with version 5.x.
Does BPBRM_VERBOSE = 5 give anything meaningful?
