Problem
In NetBackup 7.1, if nbstserv is restarted while any Storage Lifecycle Policy has a high number of images waiting for processing, the first session will not start as a CORBA timeout in nbstserv is reached. After this occurs, the nbstserv process will restart...only to time out again. This condition will continue with nbstserv in a constant loop of restarting and timing out.

This issue (Etrack 2279662) is currently scheduled to be addressed in a future release of NetBackup.

This issue is addressed in NetBackup 7.1.0.1 and can be downloaded from here: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH158802
