Setting the NetBackup Deduplication Engine to refuse jobs
When recovering the MSDP catalog from a backup, you may need to configure the NetBackup Deduplication Engine to refuse jobs. The Deduplication Engine must remain active, but it cannot process jobs during the recovery process.
To set the NetBackup Deduplication Engine to refuse jobs
- Start the NetBackup Deduplication Engine (spoold), as follows:
UNIX:/usr/openv/pdde/pdconfigure/pdde start spoold
- Set the NetBackup Deduplication Engine to refuse to accept jobs, as follows:
UNIX:
/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/crcontrol - m GET=No
/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/crcontrol - m PUT=No
Windows:
install_path\Veritas\pdde\crcontrol - m GET=No
install_path\Veritas\pdde\crcontrol - m PUT=No
- Verify that the NetBackup Deduplication Manager (spad) and the NetBackup Deduplication Engine (spoold) are active. Use the bpps command.
UNIX:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps
Windows:install_path\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\bpps
- If spad or spoold are not active, start them:
UNIX:
/usr/openv/pdde/pdconfigure/pdde spad start
/usr/openv/pdde/pdconfigure/pdde spoold start
Windows:
install_path\Veritas\pdde\spad --start
install_path\Veritas\pdde\spoold --start
