Here are the two methods that were passed around:

According to the Veritas KB link
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/180017.htm , you could also do the
following:

Symptom:

Cache file full conditions, within Open Transaction Manager (OTM), cause
exit status code 11 (system call failed).

Exact Error Message:

status 11: system call failed

Solution:

When there is a cache full condition within Open Transaction Manager,
backups may fail with an exit code of 11 (system call failed).  The cache
full condition is usually reached because the system is busy at the time of
the backup and files are changing.  There is another condition as well -
just normal file transversal.  As the backups proceed, the last access time
is updated on each file and this information ends up being cached.  Thus, if
the system has a lot of files, a lot of access time update information ends
up being cached which, depending on the size of the cache file, can end up
in a cache full condition.

If disabling the last access time will not impair the operation of any
applications that are running on this machine, doing so will stop it from
increasing the size of your cache file.

A value must be added to the registry in order to disable the last access
time update.

The key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem

and the value is:

NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate with a type of REG_DWORD and a value of 1.

A reboot is required of the system after adding this value.

As an example, a test machine was setup with 10,000 subfolders and each one
of those subfolders has 20 files.  Without this value, the amount of data
sent to the cache file was 260MB.  With this value added, the amount of data
sent to the cache file was 0MB.

Otherwise, increasing the cache size for OTM within the VERITAS registry
keys or from the Configuration Application from an NT Master server will
also help alleviate this condition.  This is documented within the "VERITAS
NetBackup for Windows NT Server System Administrator Guide" on page 502.

We are having a problem where 4 of our server backups out of 25 are failing
with a status 11. These servers have a ton of small files. We are also
compunded by a lack of disk space on these servers. I am in the process of
obtaining more disk capacity, but until I do, is there a way to turn off OTM
on these 4 servers only until I can increase the space to allow for OTM
cache?
Thanks,
Don
