I have found that if you run 
bprdreq -rereadconfig; bpschedreq -read_stunits; bpschedreq
-read_stu_config 
in a loop of about 50, it works every time. I don't know what the
optimum number of iterations is, but 50 works and 10 doesn't (most of
the time).

If you created a new stu on these, did you restart netbackup? Usually
that will happen on a new storage unit if you don't stop and restart
NBU. You can also try the following commands if you can't stop NBU right
now. Sometimes it will work and sometimes you just have to restart NBU.
 
bprdreq -rereadconfig
bpschedreq -read_stunits
bpschedreq -read_stu_config

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Jobs won't go active

I've recently added a few new SAN media servers to my environment NBU
5.1MP5) and we are trying to run some test backups from these servers.
The job gets submitted and shows up queued in the activity monitor and
stays that way.  I left one like that overnight, and it was still queued
this morning.  The media servers are HPUX with a Solaris master.

I've checked bpsched, bprd, and bpcd logs on the master server as well
as the bprd and bpcd logs on the media server.  Nothing is screaming out
as to why jobs from these new media servers will not go active.  Other
jobs to other media servers are going active almost immediately.

What other things should I look into?  I've checked name resolution,
traceroutes in both directions, and have a support call open with
Symantec.  These new servers are supposed to go live this weekend.

Argh!
