Netbackup 7.0.1 failed to clean up expired images

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi,
My client is using 7.0.1 and have problems on deleting expired images.
Went through the log shows "Cleanup job exited because parent process died."
I found a Tech aritcle saying that it is a bpdbm bug : TECH156609 but I cannot find the suggested solution about the bpdbm bundle ET2275079.
Can anyone please show me some light?
Thank you in advance.

You have to call Symantec to get this one. Also it is recommended to update the NBU to latest patch/release which will resolve your issue and many more which were in 7.0.1. There were lot of bugs in this one.
Are you on Windows? This MAY be the issue resolved in the single issue hotfix found in this TechNote:
BUG REPORT: DSSU duplications fail after upgrading a Windows master server to 7.0.1. Image Cleanup completes (Status 0) but is not expiring images.

However, the truth is that everything in the bundle you've referenced (which you do have to call and open a support case to request) was fixed many, many versions ago (7.1) and you really shouldn't still be at 7.0.1. We'd really like you at 7.5.0.5, but if that isn't possible, 7.1.0.4.
