Hi to all,

    I am planning to restart NBU services on all media servers and on the the Master server as well. Can someone tell if what is the best practice to do it, restart the NBU services first on the Master server before I restart NBU services on the media servers or should I restart first the services on the media servers before I can restart services on the Master server??? Thanks!

======================================================================================================================================================
Netbackup 6.x Maintainance (restarting services and clearing junk/temp/lock files)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STOP & KILL all NetBackup Processes
      /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup stop
      /opt/VRTSpbx/bin/vxpbx_exchanged stop
      /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/bp.kill_all -FORCEKILL
 
LIST Any remaining processes
      /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps -x   
                            
KILL any processes listed from bpps -x with  'kill -9 <PID-Number>'
      (a reboot may be needed if kill command fails)
   
REMOVE these temporary workspace directory and files
     rm -r /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpsched.d  
     rm -r /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bprd.d
     rm -f /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/pempersist*

I think  bp.kill_all and

I think  bp.kill_all and bp.start_all will be enough for first time :)

MY 2cents

Stop the services on your media servers.
Then stop your services on your master.
bpps -a to make sure all processes are down

Start the services on the master first - this makes it more likely the the master will be the scan-host
Then start the services on the media servers.

Start your media servers

Start your media servers first so the Master finds hosts ready to connect-

Difference of opinion

Can an Symantec employee tell us what the recommended order is?
