Veritas NetBackup™ Release Notes

Backup job fails after media server with MSDP on Solaris 10 is upgraded to NetBackup 9.0

After you upgrade media server with MSDP to NetBackup 9.0 on Solaris 10, spad and spoold services in MSDP do not start. If you run the bpps command to check NetBackup processes, no MSDP processes are found.

Workaround:

  1. On Solaris 10, after you upgrade the media server, change the first line from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash in the following scripts:

    • /usr/openv/pdde/pdconfigure/scripts/installers/PDDE_initConfig.sh

    • /usr/openv/pdde/pdconfigure/pdde

    • /usr/openv/pdde/pdconfigure/etc/init.d/Solaris/pdde

    • /usr/openv/pdde/pdconfigure/etc/init.d/Solaris/pdservice

  2. Run the following commands to restart all NetBackup services in media server with MSDP:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bp.kill_all

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bp.start_all
