Environment
This issue has been reported in Netbackup 7.5.0.4.
Cause
There is a possibility for spoold to segfault/APPCRASH during rebasing.
Solution
Symantec Corporation has acknowledged that the above-mentioned issue (Etrack 2962064) is present in the current version(s) of the product(s) mentioned in this article. Symantec Corporation is committed to product quality and satisfied customers. This issue was scheduled to be addressed in the following release:
- NetBackup 7.5 Maintenance Release 5 (7.5.0.5)
When NetBackup 7.5.0.5 is available, please visit the following link for download and README information:
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/overview.jsp?pid=15143
Please note that Symantec Corporation reserves the right to remove any fix from the targeted release if it does not pass quality assurance tests or introduces new risks to overall code stability. Symantec's plans are subject to change and any action taken by you based on the above information or your reliance upon the above information is made at your own risk.
Workaround:
- Stop NetBackup processes
- Start NetBackup and execute crcontrol --rebaseoff as soon as spoold will accept a connection.
Note: Shortly after the spoold process has loaded the fingerprint cache, rebasing will begin and, potentally, the spoold thread will fault.
An Emergency Engineering Binary (EEB) replacement for spoold is available containing a fix for this issue. Please contact Symantec technical support, referencing this document and Etrack 2964167.
