Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5 acting buggy

NetBackup logs are in C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\Logs Directory.

Is your hard drive full where NetBackup is installed?

NOTE: I stated C: Drive, but it could depend where you installed NetBackup

One of our SA’s was unable to log onto the server, so went back and saw that the logs for the server had filled up a large chunk of HDD space. I cleared them out and he was able to login. Does NBU have its own location for log storage, or does something need to be done to NBU after I cleared out the server logs?

Looks like EMM server down issue. did you check for free space on the master/emm server and any logging enabled which is creating heavy logs and eating up the space.

I have restarted the services; I even rebooted the server just to be safe. Our program SA said he hasn’t pushed an update on the system for a while now, so nothing has changed on the system that I know of. I tried rebuilding one of the policies (suggested by Scott Jacobson) but I still had the same issues as previously mentioned. Just to recap the issues I’m having: backups will not run (even manual starts fail to even start), servers listed under Host Properties will not stay connected, trying to access Storage Containers gives a “database error” pop-up and displays nothing, and trying to access the Activity Monitor hangs the Admin application.

Have you tried recycling the netbackup services.

In command prompt go to c:\program files\veritas\netbackup\bin\

bpdown -f -v

bpup -f -v

We are running NBU 6.5 for Windows on Server 2003.

Recently the policies have not started on their own and they need to be started manually each morning. This morning the NBU Admin tool hung/froze when I tried to view the Activity Monitor. I checked the Host Properties and none of the servers showed Connected, so I right-clicked and connected them. I manually started the policies and then tried to view them in the Activity Monitor, but it hung again. I closed down the application and re-opened and the Host Properties showed the servers as being disconnected again.

I have not done much with the command-line, since up to this point, the GUI has been working great. All these issues have popped in the last few days and don’t seem to be going away. Opinions, thoughts, suggestions?
