I am configuring the Netbackup on HP UX as follow: "NetBackup-HP-UX11.23 6.5.4"
It was always failed with this message
...
17:37:59.671 [7756] <4> bpbkar: INF - Excluded /dev/devkrs by exclude_list entry /dev/d*
17:37:59.673 [4344] <16> bpbkar: ERR - bpbkar killed by SIGPIPE
17:37:59.673 [4344] <16> bpbkar: ERR - bpbkar FATAL exit status = 40: network connection broken
17:37:59.673 [4344] <4> bpbkar: INF - EXIT STATUS 40: network connection broken
17:37:59.673 [4344] <4> bpbkar: INF - setenv FINISHED=0
The message "network connection broken" I think is misleading, because if I put /dev on the exclude_list the backup was running fine.
So I suspect there is certain files when being backup causing the failure.
I have reboot the server, but the problem still there when it backup the /dev directory.
Anyone know the answer why?
Thank you,
Iwan Tamimi

bpbkar: ERR - bpbkar killed by SIGPIPE
You've got an issue with your NIC's speed and duplex. Verify speed and duplex on all hops between master and clients including switches and routers.

Re: Netbackup client failed after trying to backup /dev directory
Does netbackup claim to backup device files?
Perhaps it is best to exclude /dev and back that up with ignite.

Re: Netbackup client failed after trying to backup /dev directory
a) The typical culprit is network setup,
but it seems you already checked it and
eliminated it.
Other reasons for bpbkar error 40:
b) Chech your hostname resolution (DNS,
and others). Use the bpclntcmd
utility.
c) If you have too many files in /dev, you
may want to increase the client read
timeouts and the client connect timeouts.
That might be the reason for your failures.
It tries to back up /dev but somehow it
takes too long to do it...
Cheers,

Re: Netbackup client failed after trying to backup /dev directory
Have you tried increasing the logging level on the bpbkar log to see if you get any more information?

Re: Netbackup client failed after trying to backup /dev directory
Thank you for the answers. Sorry for the late reply.
Actually I wanted to backup all the vg00 file systems (/, /stand, /var etc) using the netbackup but it always seemed to stop in /dev, if I put it in the exclude_list it would be fine. So I strongly think it is not a network issue.
I also had a bunch of 11.23 and 11.31 servers with Netbackup and have no problems, this one is the first time.
Yes I also ignite the to the tape once a month and this netbackup to cover daily backup.
I think I just let it backup excluding the /dev for the time being as many of you suggest.
Thanks again.

...etc, etc, et al, et al. Numerous posting on internet.
Again, verify speed and duplex of all hops in between.

Re: Netbackup client failed after trying to backup /dev directory
It would better always to Use make_tape_recovery if you wanted to backup all the vg00 file system
its most recommended backup tool which comes from "HPUX"
Its just suggestion
my 2 cents
