Specifying the NetBackup job ID number after a catalog recovery
You can specify the NetBackup job ID number after a catalog recovery. If you use OpsCenter to monitor NetBackup activity, doing so prevents duplicate job ID numbers in OpsCenter.
See About NetBackup catalog recovery and OpsCenter.
To specify the NetBackup job ID number after a catalog recovery
- If necessary, restore the OpsCenter database from a backup.
- Determine the last job ID number that is recorded in OpsCenter.
- Edit the NetBackup
jobidfile and set the value to one higher than the number from step 2. The following is the pathname to thejobidfile:UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/jobid
Windows: install_path\Veritas\NetBackup\db\jobs\jobid
Because the recovery consumes job numbers, you must specify the number before the catalog recovery.
- Recover the NetBackup catalog.
