Backup Central

We upgraded to 7.6.2.6.Build.689 and nsrjobd started crashing, hoping 7.6.3.Build.840 would fix the problem, no such luck. Anyone else notice nsrjobd crashing after upgrading?

Thanks.

Our backup server is running Solaris 10 on SPARC.

Try to clean /nsr/tmp and jobsdb (when daemons are stopped). That's
my script:

# cat /usr/local/TAUSRC/Local/ToolBox/nsrclean.sh
#!/bin/sh


cd /nsr
rm -rf tmp
cd res/jobsdb
rm -f general/*/*
rm -f indication/*/*
rm -f savejobs/*/*
rm -f ssninfo/*/*

You will loose some jobs history, but I suggest that you will give it
a try.

In regard to: Re: [Networker] nsrjobd crashing after 7.6.2.6 and 7.6.3...:

Try to clean /nsr/tmp and jobsdb (when daemons are stopped). That's my
script:

# cat /usr/local/TAUSRC/Local/ToolBox/nsrclean.sh
#!/bin/sh


cd /nsr
rm -rf tmp
cd res/jobsdb
rm -f general/*/*
rm -f indication/*/*
rm -f savejobs/*/*
rm -f ssninfo/*/*

You will loose some jobs history, but I suggest that you will give it a try.

In addition to Yaron's excellent suggestion, there is a note in PowerLink
on tuning jobsdb. We implemented the suggestions from that note and
haven't really had any issues with jobsdb since, though that could just
be our environment.

You can find the settings by starting NMC, launching NetWorker
Administrator, and then selecting Configuration and right-clicking the
server and selecting "Properties...". The jobsdb settings are on the
Configuration tab, in the Operations area.
