Admins,
We have one 6.0 MP2 Master/Media server running on Solaris 10. The server has been running fine for a while (uptime: 19 days). I was running debug vxlog (level 6) logging. I also had the bplogs (open/netbackup/logs/bpxyz) cranked up to five but turned all that down to one yesterday. Restarted netbackup.
A good portion of our backups did not run correctly last night. Here is some of the more salient entries in the problem log.
system call failed - Not enough space (at bpdm.c.3311)
could not allocate enough shared memory for backup buffers
backup of client xyz exited with status 89 (problems encountered during setup of shared memory)
Now here is what i have found confusing, Solaris 10 now has resource controls for most of their shared memory settings. For example, setting msginfo_msgmnb has no effect:
* NOTE: As of Solaris 10, System V IPC tunables are unnecessary. The
* "msginfo_msgmnb" tunable has been replaced with a resource control;
* the assignment below has been left to provide compatibility with your
* previous settings. For more details, see the Solaris 10 "What's New"
* document, or the "Solaris Tunable Parameters Reference Manual".
set msgsys:msginfo_msgmnb=65536
I'm waiting for veritas technical support engineer to get back to me.
I'm left wondering if there is an issue with MP2. Have you run into a problem with MP2 shared memory?
