VERITAS NetBackup 6.0 Troubleshooting Guide, Page
250:
"NetBackup
Status Code: 252
Message: An
extended error status has been encountered, check detailed status
Explanation:
If a process was unable to report the extended error status as the final job
status,
the job exits with status 252. (The extended error status has a number greater
than 255.)
Recommended
Action: To determine the actual error, examine the job details
display."
Reference:
emmlib source:
#define
EMM_ERROR_DBServerDown 4005006
Environment:
Standard NetBackup backup for clients.
Change:
Upgraded from NetBackup version 5.0 or 5.1 to 6.0 or 6.5.
Cause: EMM
Database Server is stopped or offline.
Cause: Volume
where EMM Database or NetBackup resides is full.
Cause:
NetBackup and EMM services are stopped.
Cause: Offline
Catalog backup is running. While running it stops the EMM Database
Server.
Cause: Another
process has return a exit code that is not recognized.
Solution:
1)
See the appropriate process reporting error.
2)
Enable logging for that process (such as bptm) at maximum verbosity to capture
and confirm the error code from that process, 4005006.
3)
Once confirm, error code 4005006 indicates that the EMM Database Server is down
or offline.
4)
Verify whether or not this is true.
5)
If true, confirm if (A) an offline catalog backup was running at that time, (B)
filesystem is Full, and/or (C) NetBackup services is stopped.
6)
Rectify the root cause by (A) do not schedule and run backup jobs while offline
catalog backup is running, (B) clean up filesystem, and/or add more space,
and/or (C) ensure NetBackup processes are running and you can query and verify
EMM connections via nbemmcmd commands.
NOTE:
The nbemmcmd command can be found at the default path
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/ for UNIX/Linux or c:\program
files\veritas\netbackup\bin\admincmd\ for Windows. Easiest way to confirm
EMM connectivity is by running on master and EMM
server: nbemmcmd -listhosts
-verbose
NOTE: If
the root cause is scheduling conflict between scheduled backup jobs and offline
catalog backup, consider (a) using online hot catalog backup instead, or (b)
re-schedule jobs around the length of time an offline catalog backup needs to
run until completion.
