Re: [Networker] Not suppressing output of a job
2007-10-10 03:38:02
Sorry folk, but this one is a "Documented feature":
=======
7.4 multiplatform release notes, page 80
NO_SUPRESS option no longer supported
The EMC NetWorker Command Reference Guide and the savegrp man page
incorrectly identify the NO_SUPRESS option as supported. In NetWorker
software
release 7.3.x and later, savegroup does not support the NO_SUPPRESS option.
=======
The only reason I can see that they might have removed this is to stop
people performing denial of service attacks on themselves by setting the
"backup command" on a large client to "save -v".
Yes, I've done it, and it can kill your server BUT, I think the
functionality of being able to review the output of save/savepnpc/custom
save commands is very well worth the risk.
If this functionality stays gone, then I may have to re-work an awful
lot of custom save scripts to e-mail their output to the sys-admins
independently of Networker notifications. Twice as much to maintain!
Does anyone know if an RFE has been logged to put the functionality back
in yet??

However, what I am seeing sometimes is:
--- Unsuccessful Save Sets ---
* admndev006:MSSQL: savegrp: suppressed 75 lines of output -
check daemon.log for details.
* admndev006:MSSQL:
* admndev006:MSSQL: [8924] [I] 10/08/07 21:11:07 Back
I haven't been able to find out where I can tell NetWorker to not
suppress
output; I'd prefer to have it all come to me, so I can skip the
extra step
of having to go to this particular daemon.log to see what is failing
and
why. I did go to the group definition and choose "verbose" for this
group
in the advanced options, but that didn't seem do what I want.
Is there some switch or option that I am missing? Both server and
client
are NW 7.4 for Windows.
This is a known bug in 7.4. There is also a fix for it: LGTsc07669.
Try to get it from your support
I don't think that bug fixes the issue; it fixes savegroup report
truncation, which is different. That being said, if you have powerlink
access, you can just such for LGTsc07669 and follow the directions to
download the appropriate binaries.
