Thanks - I'll look into EBU.
NetApp can generally do snapshots, but (1) we were trying to move as much
as we could to rman, (2) our current snapshot procedure is pretty
cumbersome and I expected it to remain as kludgey on NetApp, and (3), we
think that Unix snapshot might be a seperately licensed NetApp piece that
we were trying to avoid.
All the bpbackup tests were running as sudo to root.

Hello Sid
Have you tried to use EBU which it is the RMAN for Oracle 7.3.4
It did work with netbackup libobk back in NetBackup 3.4
NetApp should be able to create snapshots the volume, at least it could
when I worked with it.
For the bpbackup issue, it could be related to the user if you are not
running as root

Hello,
I have a problem with netbackup 6.5.6 running on hp-ux (pa-risc) 11.11
(running oracle 7.3.4)
I am aware that almost everything I've jsut described is old and
unsupported, and please don't suggest upgrading, unfortunately this is not
possible.
Background (kind of long-winded, but I want to tell you as much as I can
to forestall unrelated questions):
I have a database that is currently running on an EMC cx3-80 backend. It
is being backed up via snapshots which are then mounted on another hp-ux
11.11 system running netbackup 6.5. The database files (snapshot) are then
backed up using a standard filesystem-type backup scheduled through the
normal netbackup policies, etc. (oh - btw - the netbackup master server is
7.6.1)
This all works reasonably well.
We need to junk the cx3-80 in favor of a NetApp. The NetApp will not do
the same snapshotting that the cx does, so generally we have moved most of
our databases to RMAN backups, which is working pretty well.
However we can't run rman on the 7.3.4 database, and we can't go past
6.5.6 on hp-ux 11.
So the plan is to go to hot backup for this one database.
We have all sorts of hot backup scripts that we have run over the years
and all work well, except in this case. I've burrowed down to the problem
being that the bpbackup command, which is being called directly from the
hot backup script, is returning a
EXIT STATUS 29: failed trying to exec a command.
We've chased this a bit. I've run bp' to backup some files and that works
fine. I've captured the arguments that bp uses to call bpbackup and tried
to use the exact same command and arguments calling bpbackup directly. bp
works, bpbackup does not, even though they are running the exact same
bpbackup command.
I've tried the bpbackup command on various other systems: aix 7.2, hp-ux
11.31 - all work correctly. It is only on hp-ux 11.11 and 11.0 that I'm
seeing the problem.
symantec says error 29 indicates a permission and/or resource problem.
Obviously that is not the case if bp calling bpbackup works and calling
bpbackup directly does not. There is something else going on.
btw - the command I'm trying is bpbackup -S herhxp03 /etc/passwd - I
don't think I can get much more basic that that.
I'm hoping that someone who has been around netbackup for a while might
have some thoughts of either things to try or places to look or something!
Help!
Thanks
