Netbackup tips

Filed under: solaris, unix, storage

There are sun box using netbackup for DRP backup, monthly backup or daily backup. My previous office, i’m using sun box V240 as backup server connected to quantum PX506 using SCSI wired. Inside PX506 contains 100 tape LTO2 Ultrium (200/400gb) and 4 robot.

Here some tips :

Stopping Netbackup
* /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/K77netbackup –> graceful shutdown
* /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps -a –> check for any remaining processes
* /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/bp.kill_all —> kills all remaining netbackup process not necessarily graceful
* /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps -a –> check for any remaining processes
* kill -9 {pid} for any remaining. NOTE: unkillable processes may require a reboot PX 506

Starting Netbackup
* /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/S77netbackup –> after bp.kill_all, to restart

Checking Backup Status
* Activity Monitor or
* /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpdbjobs -report
