The Oracle agents and the clients have to be compatible.  You can't have an agent at 5.1 with the client at 6.5.

From the master server, do:

bpgetconfig -s <clientname> -A -L

and it will tell you the full version details of the client, excluding the agents.  You have to check the client to see what version of the agents are installed.  There are NetBackup technotes out there that detail all of this.

I enquired with my netbackup admin earlier. Oracle Server agents have also been upgraded. I am not sure if it is version 6.5.0 or 6.5.3.1. I am an oracle person. I need to check with my netbackup admin for correct version installed. However, I looked at the logs under the following directory

 

/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpcd/

 

I found several of these lines in the files:

 

“<---- NetBackup 6.5 0 ------------initiated”

 

I guess it is 6.5.0 version. Is there any other  way to find the installed version? If so, I will request my netbackup admin to apply the patches.

Did you update the Oracle server agents to the same major and minor level as the master/media servers? You didn't say if you went to 6.5.0 or applied any patches? I would at least patch to 6.5.3.1 or higher.

[Veritas-bu] Net Backup errors after Upgrade to Rel6.5

 




The Netbackup has been upgraded from Rel 5.1 to Rel 6.5. The oracle RMAN backups use 3 channels. It started failing with the following errors after the upgrade. It was working perfectly OK with 3-channels on Netbackup Rel 5.1.
 
I found a temporary work around - Instead of three channels, if I use only one channel, it works.
Single channel takes a long time to complete as it is a large production database. We need multiple channels to work as in Rel 5.1.
 
Is there a permanent fix for this (other than going back to Rel 5.1)? Could someone help?

Hi Tom,
 
I was having the same issues over here, we have basically the same backup platform as yours. Two SL3000 with five IBM LTO4 drives in each one running on NetBackup 6.5.4, this problem was driving me nuts, I've done a lot of firmware upgrades until I fixed this a couple of weeks ago.
 
First you gonna need this:
 
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-128549-06-1
 
Update your drives with this firmware, using IBM Tape Diagnostic Tool (ITDT), you can find it on:
 
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=1154&context=STCZU45&dc=D410&uid=ssg1S4000662&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en
 
Then open a support ticket with SUN, to update your SL3000 firmware to at least 2.35 release. remembering that firmware updates are user applicable only on the drives.
