Disk Staging Problems ...
Hi
My customer has installed Netbackup 5.1 MP2 on Solaris 9... Sometimes
there are problems with disk staging relocation from disk to tape.. When
Netbackup finishes duplication of one backup id, duplicaton job hangs
and there is no error message, job is still active.. I can wait about 10
hours and there is no difference.. I've found that it happens only when
last fragment of image on disk has 0 kilobytes.. in catalog there is
information that for example backup has 11 fragments with 11th - 0kb but
on disk there is no file with this empty fragment.. in bpdm log there is
information that last fragment has 0kilobytes - so will be skipped.. no
error messages..
Do you have any experience with this kind of issue ??
regards

Hello,
We have the same problems. Also running 5.1 MP2.
Then we just kill the job and start the relocation again.
Further we have the problem that the relocation ends with status 1.
Example for today:
30-9-2005 9:30:21 - Error bpduplicate(pid=6136) Status = successfully duplicated
46 of 51 images.
30-9-2005 9:30:21 - Error bpduplicate(pid=6136) Status = the requested operation
was partially successful.
After restarting the job the other 5 images were succesfully processed.

Re: Disk Staging Problems ...
I made little change to catalog file (there are two files for my backup
in catalog database for backup job, one with .f extension and one
without extension) .. In file without extension where netbackup saves
information about type of backup, backup server, and other configuration
parameters I set number of fragments to 10 (withouth 11th - 0kb) and
relocation finished without any errors...
