434.0. "savegrp hangs when started from autosys" by ALFSS2::ZURIK_E () Fri Feb 21 1997 07:42

    dunix 3.2c  nsr 4.2b  2100 with tz877                                           
    
    Customer runs a script to shutdown Oracle database and start 4 savegrp          
    commands. Script is initiated from Platinum AutoSys scheduler.              
    Worked OK with NSR 3.2.  Customer just upgraded to NSR 4.2b and now the         
    savegrp command hangs.  ps shows savegrp commands but no nsrd daemons           
    are started.                                                                   
    
    Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this one?  I will ask for the output
    from ps ax when the savegrp command in hanging.
    
    The script runs OK manually or from crontab.
    
    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

434.1DECWET::ONOSoftware doesn't break-it comes brokenFri Feb 21 1997 11:4215
Why does the customer use four savegrp commands?  Starting a 
bunch of savegrps at the same time is asking for trouble.

If they're doing it to backup four filesystems simultaneously,
then they should: 

 - Define four client resources with one filesystem in the 
   saveset field of each resource
 - Assign all four clients to the same group
 - launch one savegrp command

I'd like to see their nsr.res and daemon.log files.  If they're 
big, mail them to me.

434.2Works OK without verboseALFSS2::ZURIK_ETue Mar 04 1997 10:5326
    I have some additional infomation from the customer.
    
    He is only starting one savegroup.

    Customer runs a script to shutdown Oracle database and starts a  
    savegrp command. Script is initiated from Platinum AutoSys scheduler.              
    Worked OK with NSR 3.2.  Customer just upgraded to NSR 4.2b and now
    the savegrp command hangs. 
    
    Customer discovered that the problem only occurs when doing
    savegrp -v groupname. Without the -v the command works OK.
    
    The script runs OK manually or from crontab with the -v.
    
    Customer claims verbose gave more infomation in v3.2.
    
    I closed the call with the customer since he doesn't really need the 
    verbose output. I'm posting this note in case someone else has a
    similar problem.
