[Veritas-bu] error 239 and virtual hostnames

This may be a simple as ensuring your DNS is returning accurately.

>From the Media Server run

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpclntcmd -hn $CLIENT_hostname

then

/usr/openv/Netbackup/bin/bpclntcmd -ip $CLIENT_IPADDR

then from the client do the same thing as above, but also include the
Media Server Host name and Media Server IP ADDR as well to make sure it
resolves correctly.

Another datapoint from an observation I just made because of an off
list thread about this.

We backup the following directories:

/u02/oradata/DBNAME
/u03/oradata/DBNAME
...
/u13/oradata/DBNAME

Some databases have all the /u?? direcotories defined in one policy
(they're smaller databases), while other databases have the /u??
directories broken up into three policies (somedb_blib, somedb_blib1,
somedb_blib2). In the past it was found that the backups went faster
if we ran the streams in parallel.

What I just noticed is that even though we may have three policies to
get all the files for one database (blib, blib1, blib2), only one of
the policies (blib, with no number) gets the 239 error. The other
policies (blib1, blib2) do not show up with the 239 error.

I'm not sure whether this is significant but I though I'd mention
it.

An individual mentioned offlist that the data stream may be binding
to a particular IP to send data back to the media server. I'll try to
see if this is the case.
