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!

Hi, In master

Hi,

In master Server

1.bp.kill_all

2./opt/VRTSpbx/bin/vxpbx_exchanged stop

Then do the same thing in the media server.

while starting first start the media servers services then start the master servers services.

 

 Thanks and regards,

Mubarack.S

Recommended Steps

======================================================================================================================================================
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* 
     rm -f /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/restart/*   
     rm -f  /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/bpjobd.act.db 
     rm -f /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/*.lock
     rm -f /usr/openv/netbackup/db/media/drives/* 
     rm -f /usr/openv/netbackup/db/media/tpreq/*
     rm -f /usr/openv/volmgr/misc/*.lock
     rm -f /usr/openv/var/nbproxy_jm.ior
     rm -f /usr/openv/var/nbproxy_pem.ior
     rm -f /usr/openv/var/nbproxy_pem_email.ior
 
RESTART / RESET NetBackup PROCESSES  in this order
     1  /opt/VRTSpbx/bin/vxpbx_exchanged start
     2  /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup start
     3  /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbrbutil -resetAll            
     4  /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbrbutil -releaseAllocHolds

Then restart media servers with this--

STOP & KILL all NetBackup Processes
   /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup stop
   /opt/VRTSpbx/bin/vxpbx_exchanged stop

   rm -f /usr/openv/volmgr/misc/*.lock
 
RESTART NetBackup PROCESSES

You don't say what OS

And your question is just which order, so I will assume you know how with netbackup stop/start or bpup/down

I take the medias down first, and the master down last.

Bring the master up first, because I want to make sure the master is listed as the scan host on my libraries. then bring up the media servers.

If you bring up a media server first and no scan host has been established on the library the media server may take it.  I have had this happen and had a little issue with that.  Symantec told me to try my best to see that the master is the scan host.
(you can see that in the GUI by going to activity monitor and drives -look at the Control column)

I don't have to know how to spell....I work on Unix.
NetBackup 7.0.1 - AIX & Windows
