Re: [Veritas-bu] 6.5.2 & 6.5.2A BEWARE!!!

The solution for queued jobs 196'ing
at midnight is an engineering binary from support not 6.5.2a. As Comp_geek_gal
pointed out the 6.5.2a release was only to resolve the "all jobs running
a full after upgrade" issue. As of now we are upgrading our Solaris
masters to 6.5.2a with two EEBs, one for nbpem (queued fail at midnight)
and the other for nbjm (dup issue). We have completed 8 large upgrades
so far with no additional issues as of yet (knock on wood).

Re: [Veritas-bu] 6.5.2 & 6.5.2A
BEWARE!!! |
I upgraded from 6.5.2 to 6.5.2a
to resolve the issue with queued backups failing at midnight when their
window is open past midnight. As of right now, it looks like that
is still very much an issue. I’ve got a load of backup jobs that
fire at 8:00PM Friday night with a 2 day window. As of midnight,
anything in a queued state failed with error 196. Guess I’ll be
re-opening the case with Symantec. /sigh.
I haven’t been able to perform
any VCB backups yet, but according to the support engineer 6.5.2a was supposed
to have a few fixes for that as well.

All; especially Windows Netbackup
admins,
I upgraded my Windows
test Netbackup 6.5.1 environment to 6.5.2 then 6.5.2A. Problem with
6.5.2 in Downing a drive in that it would down the wrong drive. 6.5.2A
no problem (test environment again).
I upgraded my production
environment this past week from 6.5.1 to 6.5.2A and PEM would not start
so obviously scheduled backups would not start and I had to roll back to
6.5.1 which was painful. Two media servers I had to uninstall/reinstall
Netbackup server software and reconfigure.
Found one case on
the web where another peer had the same problem. I opened a case with Symantec
and they strongly advised me to not install 6.5.2 and just wait for 6.5.3.
this fall instead of trying to correct 6.5.2A. As reported to me the main
fixes in 6.5.2A were to resolve admin console issues which I have experienced.
FYI, if you get an error
message stating to close all processes and try again when updating or rolling
back a MP rename the Netbackup.dll in the
%installpath%\Netbackup\Bin folder as long as no other processes
besides standard Netbackup services are running.
Regards
