Hi all. I'm trying to find a solution to a monitoring problem we have. I would like to create a mechanism to alert when a backup fails but to only send one alert if multiple streams from a backup fail. For instance if c: and d: both fail for a particular box, I only want 1 alert. Also if a job

Try the parent_end_notify This only runs when the parent job ends. If any of the children die the parent gets that error. But if all the children are good the parent gets a 0. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu

Looks like parent_end_notify does what I need for multistreamed jobs. It doesn't get called for jobs without multistreaming though. I guess having an environment with policies that have multistreaming on and off makes this harder. For the other questions that were asked...this is NB6.5.2 and

I have documented some steps that may be helpful. If possible do this when no backups are running. You may need to de-activate all policies. This should give you a rough idea of the steps needed. Environment: STK SL8500 with LTO2 tape drives, controlled by ACSLS server running version 7.1.

Rusty, your answer on the first question doesn't really get at what I want. I want to NOT override the default settings. For example, if I change the default priority for backups to 5 (it's initially set to 0), but have 0 for a policy's priority setting, at which priority is the policy

Gabe, For your first question, if I'm reading it right, any policy set to 0 has the lowest priority. When creating a policy, the default priority is 0 unless specified otherwise. I think that the two descriptions are saying the same thing differently. Symantec has alluded in the past to

Travis, I have three possible solutions for you - I think. I haven't tested the example I am providing here, so you'll probably need to do a little debugging. 1. Run BPDBJOBS at a regular interval, and parse for jobs of type backup, whose parentid is equal to its own id, with a status greater

Remove the media from the L700e and have NetBackup inventory the robot. This will put all the tapes into standalone. Then put the tapes into the SL500 and inventory the new robot, NetBackup will see the tapes in that new robot and adjust the locations accordingly. This of course assumes you

Your don't alert if retry was successful automatically excludes the idea of a real-time monitor. It's a bit like saying Don't alert if you're going to succeed in the future. We solved this by creating an after-the-fact monitor for our backups - it searches the bpdbjobs output daily and parses

Ok, take two. There has to be a value for the policy priority, period. If you do not specify one when creating the policy, it will accept the default value of whatever is in the Default Job Priorities list. If you create a new policy with the GUI, it automatically fills in the value based on
