Veritas NetBackup™ for Sybase Administrator's Guide

Enabling the debug logs manually (UNIX)

To enable the debug logs manually

  1. Create the following directories on the client:
    /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpbackup
    /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpbkar
    /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bphdb
    /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bprestore
    /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/tar
    /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/sybackup
    chmod 777 /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/sybackup

    For example:

    cd /usr/openv/netbackup/logs
    mkdir bphdb
  2. The user_ops, each of the log directories, and any subdirectories should have 777 permissions. They must exist and be accessible for the applications to operate correctly.

    For example:

    chmod 777 bphdb

    See About permissions for NetBackup for Sybase log files (UNIX).

  3. Enable logging for the nbpem, nbjm, and nbrb scheduling processes that use unified logging.

    NetBackup writes unified logs to /usr/openv/logs.

    You do not need to create log directories for processes that use unified logging.

    Information on how to use logs and reports is available.

    See the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide.

  4. If you create a debug log directory on the client, NetBackup for Sybase records the dump file name in the resulting debug log.

    The debug log directory that you can create is as follows:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/sybackup

    NetBackup for Sybase sends an informational message that specifies the dump file name to Sybase backup server.
