No special accounts here. They way
they (Datalink) described it was that the deadlock condition described
looked like what I was experiencing. Curiously, it may have addressed
another nuisance issue I was having, which was not always completing deferred
ejects cleanly. What I was having my operators do was to kill the
vault and restart it. It would detect that all of the tapes are gone
and run the reports.
Like I said, I'll know for sure in 3
weeks.

I see it has to do with the resource
broker.
Do you have special accounts set
up for access to NB?
The only thing I have ever done
with the resource broker it when I set it up for my NOM server (which runs
on windows).

Just to update everybody on this issue I
have been having, it appears that there is an EEB to fix nbrb due to a
locking issue.
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/346920.htm
I have been running it for a week with no issues. I have 21 days
until I see if it fixes my problem.

Datalink is our support organization for our NetBackup support, and I do
have a case open with them. I am in the process of collecting logs
and waiting for it to happen again, which is an issue in itself. I
have to clear out the logs daily to avoid locking up the database.
Curiously, Ms. Hinchcliffe is on the 6.5.5/AIX combo with no issues.

Hi, Scott,
I am a Symantec employee working on NetBackup as an engineer.
Just want to know if you have opened a support case for this problem. If
yes, can you please tell the case id?
Thanks,
/Girish

All that I have right now is a symptom. We have a hourly script that
utilizes vmquery to count the amount of scratch tapes, and sent the results
to a mailbox. If I leave the master server up for more than 2 weeks
(I haven't determined the exact amount of time), my hourly e-mail shows
0 scratch tapes, and all of the running backups fail for lack of tapes.
If I stop and restart NBU, everything is fine until the next iteration
of the unknown period of time. I didn't have this in 6.5.3.1, which
was rock-solid IMHO, by the way.

What is your issue? As I am planning the upgrade and I am currently
on 6.5.5 – I would really like to know what problem you have, that you
think 7.0 will fix. Please share with me.

It may, but I want to go to 7.0. I am dealing with a ~2 week recurring
problem on 6.5.5, and nobody can tell me if it is addressed in 6.5.6. I
have come to realize that AIX seems to lag behind in support, and wanted
to know if there was anybody else running 7.0 on it.

Does 6.5.6 offer 2008 support? I think it does but I might be mistaken.

I was just wondering if there is anybody running 7.0 in production on an
AIX master server. We need it mostly for the 2008 support. We
are currently running 6.5.5.
