Troubleshooting NetBackup in an SFRAC environment

The following describes some common errors and how to troubleshoot them:

  • Problem: The backup failed with error code 6 displayed in the GUI. The rman_script.out file shows the following error:

    RMAN-06403: could not obtain a fully authorized session
    	ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
    	ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
    	SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory

    Resolution: Check the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID values. ORACLE_HOME should not have an extra '/' at the end.

  • Problem: The backup failed with error code 239. The dbclient logs show the following log statement:

    serverResponse: ERR - server exited with status 239: the specified 
    client does not exist in the specified policy
    01:02:23.844 [4000] <16> CreateNewImage: ERR - serverResponse() fail

    Resolution: The client name mentioned in the policy and in the bp.conf file at the client are different.

    CVxFSPlugin::vxFreezeAll : ioctl VX_FREEZE_ALL failed with errno : 16
    CVxFSPlugin::quiesce - Could not quiesce as VX_FREEZE_ALL failed and 
    VX_FREEZE is not allowed

    Resolution: Add the following lines to the /usr/openv/lib/vxfi/configfiles/vxfsfi.conffile:

    file:[QUIESCENCE_INFO]
    "QUIESCENCE_SERIAL_QUIESCENCE"=dword:00000001
  • Problem: The rollback failed with the following error displayed in the GUI:

    Failed to process backup file <bk_113_1_728619266>

    The dbclient logs show the following error:

    xbsa_ProcessError: INF - leaving
    xbsa_QueryObject: ERR - VxBSAQueryObject: Failed with error: Server 
    Status: client is not validated to use the server
    xbsa_QueryObject: INF - leaving (3)
    int_FindBackupImage: INF - leaving
    int_AddToFileList: ERR - Failed to process backup file 
    <bk_113_1_728619266>
