NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Processing the MSDP transaction queue manually

NetBackup maintains a queue for MSDP database transactions.

Usually, you should not need to run the deduplication database transaction queue processes manually. However, when you recover the MSDP catalog from a backup, you must process the MSDP transaction queue. Processing the transaction queue is part of a larger process.

By default, MSDP processs all Local and Cloud LSU database transaction queue. However, you can run queue processes by cloud LSU or local LSU individually by providing a cloud LSU dsid value. Use /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/pddecfg -a listcloudlsu to get cloud LSU dsid value. If given disd value is "0", local LSU is processed.

To process the MSDP transaction queue manually

  1. On the MSDP storage server, run the following command:

    UNIX: /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/crcontrol --processqueue --dsid <dsid>

    Windows: install_path\Veritas\pdde\Crcontrol.exe --processqueue --dsid <dsid>

    --dsid is the optional parameter. Without disd value, all local and cloud LSU process the MSDP transaction queue.

  2. To determine if the queue processing is still active, run the following command:

    UNIX: /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/crcontrol --processqueueinfo --dsid <dsid>

    Windows: install_path\Veritas\pdde\Crcontrol.exe --processqueueinfo --dsid <dsid>

    If the output shows Busy : yes, the queue is still active.

    --dsid is optional parameter. Without disd value, if any of local or cloud LSU is active, the command output is busy.

  3. To examine the results, run the following command (number 1 not lowercase letter l):

    UNIX: /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/crcontrol --dsstat 1

    Windows: install_path\Veritas\pdde\Crcontrol.exe --dsstat 1

    The command may run for a long time; if you omit the 1, results return more quickly but they are not as accurate.
