DFM 4.0.2 DB backup problem

ThorstenKatz — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:21:02 GMT

Hello all,

my problem with the DFM DB backup scheduler is, that the backup won't start at the configured time automatically, it always say "pending".

It's possible to start a sccessful backup by command line without any error messages.

Here are my system parameters:

Operation system:

[root@DFM]# lsb_release -a

LSB Version: :core-3.1-amd64:core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:graphics-3.1-amd64:graphics-3.1-ia32:graphics-3.1-noarch

Distributor ID: RedHatEnterpriseServer

Description: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5

Release: 5

DFM version:

[root@DFM]# dfm version

dfm 4.0.2 (4.0.2)

DFM backup diag:

[root@DFM]# dfm backup diag

Sysbase Data Directory: /opt/NTAPdfm/data

Sysbase Log Directory: /opt/NTAPdfm/data

Performance Data Directory: /opt/NTAPdfm/perfdata

Script-plugins Directory: /opt/NTAPdfm/script-plugins

Reports Archive Directory: /opt/NTAPdfm/reports/

Plugins Directory: /opt/NTAPdfm/plugins

Database Hosting System: localhost

SnapDrive Installed: No

Backup Destination: /backup/DFM_backup/ (That's a NFS mount)

Number of backups possible: 25

Backup Retention Count: 26

Allowed Backup Type: Archive (ndb)

DB backup scheduler config is:

[root@DFM]# dfm backup schedule get

Backup Schedule: Weekly on Thursday at 13:00, archive type, currently enabled.

Did I miss somthing to configure or what could be the problem that the scheduler won't start at the configured date?

regards

Thorsten

The problem has been solved by a hardware crash of the server. After changing the defect components and restarting the server the problem doesn't exist anymore.
