Hello Allen,

 

The simplest thing to try is to create a different policy for each path.

Then you have one path one return code. And if the backup for /vol/vol3 fails, the retry is only for /vol/vol3 and not /vol/vol1-3.

 

You can limit how many jobs will run on a netapp with the maxjob per client setting.

What is missing in netbackup is a maxjob per volume  setting.

 

 

 

 

I have multiple NDMP policies that have the “NEW_STREAM” directive in the file list.  I have been playing around with several of the nbu commands to script a way to identify which stream did not process.  The policy set up is similar to this:

 

HOST                      FILES

Netapp                 NEW_STREAM

                                /vol/vol1

                                /vol/vol2

                                /vol/vol3

                                NEW_STREAM

                                /vol/vol4

                                /vol/vol5

 

I have a script that reports on the nights activities, however if something happens the job will finish with a status code of “1”.  It might have failed after running the first stream vol1, vol2, and vol3 and the second stream vol4 and vol5 will be missed or vice versa. The backupid may be is similar to netapp_11109897 which will provide all the stats I can ask for as it regards to whole job without identifying the stats on each stream.  I am currently playing with bpflist and at best it seems clunky, otherwise I have found that I need to visit each backup in question  in the backup and restore GUI to see what was backed up, also not optimal.  Has anyone come up with a way, efficient or otherwise, to script out which stream completed?  From that I can extrapolate what did not succeed.  I am running on UNIX
