Yes... So far as of 34 hours I have not seen one hung job. It looks like 
it fixed my problem. On a side note: In the tech notes it shows certain 
error
type messages in the bpsched log and /var/adm/messages. My systems did not 
report any errors of the such, however; all the symptons were 
definately there.

Thank you everyone for your help..

RE: [Veritas-bu] hanging or never starting jobs






We had the same issue with our NB5.1MP5 after upgrading from Sol 9 to Sol 
10.  I have turned off/on tcp_fusion.  I get the same results with it 
off/on.
 
Bobby...let me know if this works for you.  I have an open ticket with 
Veritas for this problem, and I would be interested in telling them if the 
tcp_fusion does not work for you to.
 
Thanks
 
Steve

Bobby,
 
We fought a weird issue like this for a couple of months. Some of our 
backups would run and sometime they would just hang in the activity 
monitor. We found a doc on Sunsolve that told described making the 
following changes?
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1)
 
# echo 'do_tcp_fusion/W 0' | mdb -kw
 
The NetBackup processes will need to be restarted.
 
-----------------------------------------------------
2) To make the workaround persistent across the system boot:
 
Add following line in the /etc/system file.
 
set ip:do_tcp_fusion = 0
 
One needs to reboot the system before the workaround will take effect.
 
 
We were running a fresh install of Solaris 10 with nbu 5.1 MP5. If you 
have a sunsolve account, search for do_tcp_fusion, hope this helps?

I just recently upgraded our media & master servers from Solaris 9 to 
Solaris 10. After doing the upgrade and reloading all 
our backup binaries etc etc., I'm have some problems with jobs running. It 
shows the jobs starting and actually running but 
I never see any data transferring. In some of the activity details it 
shows tape mounting positioning but never starts to write. 
In some of the other logs it has nothing in the job details. I can ping 
the clients but seems no data transfers. 

This only happens to 10 - 20 clients. Always not the same ones and it 
happens on different platforms. Not sure what to go 
after here. 

I'm running Netbackup 5.1 MP5 on solaris 10 media & master servers. My 
environment is around 400 servers. Approximately 
35 Oracle DB's , 20 SQL DB's. Clients are everything from linux, solaris, 
netware and of course windows. 

Any ideas would be appreciated.. 

Thanks
