Judy, I am curious as to what our differences may be, in regard why I am experiencing this issue and you are not. It happened again over the weekend, and I was able to determine that it happens every 28 days, provided that I leave NBU up that long (which I normally do). I was wondering if you stop and start NBU at shorter intervals.
Naturally, I uploaded my obligatory 182MB of logs to support, and turned off logging (yeah!). I will keep everybody posted as to the results of the case. I did notice, on a side note, that a vmquery is still running when this happens. Murphy's law dictates that it happens very early on Sunday mornings, when my thinking isn't quite as sharp. If I have to stretch this out for one more iteration, I am going to write a checklist of things to look at before I perform my restart.

Strange issue, and just because it ran through my head ? have you verified that the previous run finishes completely before the next one starts? I have not heard of any issue like that ? good luck with the upgrade.

We have a hourly script that utilizes vmquery to count the amount of scratch tapes, and sent the results to a mailbox. If I leave the master server up for more than 2 weeks (I haven't determined the exact amount of time), my hourly e-mail shows 0 scratch tapes, and all of the running backups fail for lack of tapes. If I stop and restart NBU, everything is fine until the next iteration of the unknown period of time. I didn't have this in 6.5.3.1, which was rock-solid IMHO, by the way.

As I am planning the upgrade and I am currently on 6.5.5 ? I would really like to know what problem you have, that you think 7.0 will fix. Please share with me.

I am dealing with a ~2 week recurring problem on 6.5.5, and nobody can tell me if it is addressed in 6.5.6. I have come to realize that AIX seems to lag behind in support, and wanted to know if there was anybody else running 7.0 on it.

I think it does but I might be mistaken. From: scott.geo...@parker.com [mailto:scott.geo...@parker.com] Sent: Monday, June 07, 2010 10:47 AM To: Veritas Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU 7.0 on AIX I was just wondering if there is anybody running 7.0 in production on an AIX master server. We need it mostly for the 2008 support. We are currently running 6.5.5. Thank you, Scott PLEASE NOTE: The preceding information may be confidential or privileged.
