Sounds to me like image cleanup doesn't
like something with a particular client's image. As you know, when /usr/openv
fills up, nasty things can happen, including corrupt/incomplete catalog
entries. I couldn't find a specific technote that addresses this in my
quick search, but this one may help you.
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH55691&key=15143&actp=LIST
It deals with bpdbm core dumping when
it encounters the bad image, which would be a good thing to verify (though
I think you would already know that). Basically, take a look through BPDBM
log to see if you can find the specific image that is causing issues. You
can also run image cleanup for a specific client by running bpimage -cleanup
-client <offending client name>, which may help the log searching
if nothing else.
Once you find the image you will have
to clean it up manually. Be careful when cleaning it up, as you don't want
to remove any good entries.

| [Veritas-bu] Image Cleanup hangs |
|
All:
Our environment, HP-UX 11-31 currently
running one master / media server on NetBackup 6.5.2. We are running
mostly unix / Linux backups and a couple windows b/u’s thrown in for good
measure.
Currently, our image cleanup job
hangs at the same place and will not complete without canceling it. The
Detail Status shows it processing
the same client when it hangs.
Here is what got us to this point.
Last Thursday
one of our admins kicked off a restore and didn’t notice that the window
was for a few years. He went home with the search still running.
Sometime overnight the
/usr/openv filesystem
filled
up. The admin that kicked
off the job didn’t work Friday so the rest of us didn’t know what was
going on. (We
have since flogged him and he is currently tied up..)
NetBackup was taken down and brought back up. When
NetBackup came up, we couldn’t submit jobs because the nbperm daemon wouldn’t
stay up. We
found a document that
said “nbjm
and nbpem processes are not synchronized when this occurs, stale data is
left both in the pempersist file and the cached schedule information.
As a result, nbpem never
runs the job again, since its data indicates that the job is still active”.
We followed the instructions and cleaned up the
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/pempersist
file and also had to clear
lock files and the activity log database and
deleted the following files: 063008.bpjobd.db
, bpjobd.act.db
,
bpjobd.db
,
jobid
,
jobid.lock
pempersist2. The
bad news was that it cleared
out the activity log for the 2 weeks which we can live with.
So, that’s where we are, anyone know how
to take care of the image cleanup hang?
Thanks in advance..
