Configuring busy file processing on UNIX
Use the following procedure to use the bp.conf file to configure busy file processing.
To configure busy file processing
- Modify the bp.conf file options.
- Copy the bpend_notify_busy script, located on the master server:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/bpend_notify_busy
to the following path on the client:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpend_notify
Be sure to set the file access permissions to allow groups and others to run bpend_notify.
(This step is also performed when configuring busy file processing in the Busy File Settings host properties.)
- Configure a policy with a user backup schedule for the busy file backups.
This policy services the backup requests that the repeat option in the actions file generates. The policy name is significant. By default, NetBackup alphabetically searches (upper-case characters first) for the first available policy with a user backup schedule and an open backup window. For example, a policy name of AAA_busy_files is selected ahead of B_policy.
(This step is also performed when configuring busy file processing in the Busy File Settings host properties.)
