It's the same. We have a NBDB database which is a Sybase database.

OK.Then,What is this Sybase server?

NB_dbsrv and dbsrv9

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybase

NB_dbsrv = NetBackup Database Service. dbsrv9 is the the Sybase 9 version

NBDB is just the database name.

NB_dbsrv is just the process that runs the database.
dbsrv9 is a command (6.x) which is replaced by dbsrv11 at 7.x.
It is undocumented, and should only be run on the advice of Technical Supporrt. The only use of it that I know is when forceing the database to start with an empty transaction log.

@Martin and Revaroo:  Thanks for the reply.

1. NB_dbsrv runs which database.?
2. nbdbms_start_stop start does then?
3. NBDB runs on ASA 9.0.x(What does this mean)?

Thanks Marriane.

I have read the manual.

I dont undrstand that what is this ASA server?What is its functionality?

Please read through this post again:  https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/sql-anywhere-server  

I have read through the post.

SQL Anywhere is database software.

You can compare it with MsSQL in your environment - the dba's will first install SQL software, then create databases.

Same with NBU - SQL Anywhere database software is installed when NBU is the installed. Then NBDB database is created that is used for EMM.

But what is this ASA server?

ASA is short for Adaptive Server Anywhere.

So, Sybase ASA = Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere.

See the URL in revaroo's post.

This...

(If the service won't start, edit <install_path>\NetBackupDB\conf\databases.conf and place a # at the start of the line containing "NBDB.db")

Should NOT be posted up without a full explanation of why.

It came from this TN  TECH69759

Again, we have asked that you do not post bits of TNs up without giving the context of where they came from.

All we need is somone to find this post and start editing the databases.conf file because they think it will be a good idea without understanding why.

@Martin:ASA server is the master server then?

What if my ASA is down?

And relation between netbackup and ASA?

WHAT IF!!!!

Please show us your error message if you have REAL issues!!

We CANNOT help you with WHAT IF questions!

We have given you NUMEROUS references to NBU database documentation.

If you STILL don't understand, I'm afraid you never will. Just accept and let it go.

OK.Thanks
