Shut down and restart NetBackup servers
To close and restart NetBackup servers, use the following recommended procedure.
To shut down a server
- On the left, select Activity monitor. Select the Jobs tab and make sure that no jobs are running.
- Select any daemon that is still running and select Actions > Stop.
- From the command line, run:
On Windows:
install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bprdreq -terminate
On UNIX:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bprdreq -terminate
bprdreq does not run on a media server.
- Run the system shutdown command.
The installation process copies the appropriate startup and shutdown script from /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies to /init.d and creates links to it from the appropriate /rc directory.
Use system startup scripts to begin the Media Manager and NetBackup daemons when the system starts up. Use shutdown scripts to terminate the daemons at system shutdown.
The NetBackup Installation Guide contains more information about the startup scripts and shutdown scripts.
- On Windows, run:
install_path\NetBackup\bin\bpdown
- Shut down the server.
