Hello world! This is it. I've always wanted to blog. I don't want no fame but just to let myself heard. No! Just to express myself. So, I don't really care if someone believes in what I'm going to write here nor if ever someone gets interested reading it. My blogs may be a novel-like, a one-liner, it doesn't matter. Still, I'm willing to listen to your views, as long as it justifies mine... Well, enjoy your stay, and I hope you'll learn something new because I just did and sharing it with you.. Welcome!

Veritas NetBackup Tutorial: Changes in bp.conf

Aha! Like a li'l child on his first day in school, I was excited. That's me. When I encounter problems/errors I can't help but get excited looking for solutions, the flame of eagerness to learn. Of course, these are limited instances. As for today, it will on modifications in bp.conf. A good friend asked me if changes be made on the config file needs to re-read them. Since I am NOT familiar with this nor had the experience, I provided no answer [sorry but, my shift is up and just want to go home, ha ha]. But, this doesn't mean that I'll just lay down and die. Not me! When I got home, I searched for the solution. I even asked taqadus from his blog for some advise [Thank you!]. And my conviction is final when I got into forums and been reading suggestions/solutions the same over and over again. Plus documentation from Symantec and part of which reads:

...
Note: This command will only detect and incorporate some bp.conf configuration changes. Many NetBackup configuration changes, such as adding or changing a SERVER entry, require a complete stop and start of the NetBackup daemons. If the bp.conf configuration change does not take effect, then the NetBackup daemons must be restarted. To do so, when no backups or restores are running, execute the commands:

# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup stop

# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup start
