Hi Len,
This too was something we considered. The "locked file action" in the media
server client settings is set to "skip".
We enabled debug level system logging and got nothing of use from aix.
On a side note - I got 1 random successful full backup today. I immediately
ran another full, and got the same old error. I have also tried writing
directly to tape - same error.

Jim,
You might want to look at locks. Are there any message that help in the aix
system logs.
Trying checking your client settings for waiting for locked or in use files
for the aix media server.
I do not know if this is the problem, just a thought.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 7.1 media server backup issue
Hi All,
We're having a strange problem when the media server (AIX 6.1) is backing
up itself. This problem only occurs when the media server attempts to back
up itself. The media server can back up other clients just fine. Other
media servers can back up this media server just fine.
Here is the general output of the backup:
05/05/2011 09:37:01 - begin writing
05/05/2011 09:52:16 - Error bpbrm (pid=7405600) socket read failed: errno =
119 - System call timed out
05/05/2011 09:52:18 - Error bptm (pid=8912950) media manager terminated by
parent process
05/05/2011 09:52:27 - Info bpbkar (pid=9437276) done. status: 13: file read
failed
This isn't necessarily helpful, so I've enabled verbose logging level 5 on
both bpbkar and bpbrm. I'm not seeing any red flags.
I have tried disabling shared memory, reducing the buffers to bare
minimums, excluding what I thought were problem files, but it seems we are
chasing a ghost. It is as if bpbkar stops sending data. The backup runs for
a while, stops on a random file, and sits there until the job times out.
Any ideas?
