SAP backup through veritas fails

[Former Member]

Hi Basis Friends,

I am trying to take SAP online backup through veritas.

When I executed the sap_online_backup script I end up with the following error

BR0278I Command output of '/usr/sap/W1M/SYS/exe/run/backint -u

W1M -f backup -i /oracle/W1M/saparch/.aedxlqkf.lst -t file -c': ERROR: need to specify (-p)

/usr/sap/W1M/SYS/exe/run/backint: usage:

/usr/sap/W1M/SYS/exe/run/backint -u user_id -p param_file [ -o output_file ] [-i input_file]-f backup|restore|inquire [-t file | file_online]

>>>>> ERROR: incorrect parameter options

Below are the commands which i am using for triggering the backup.These commands are there in the scripts directory.

*brbackup -c -u / -d util_file_online -t online -m all*

*brarchive -c -u / -d util_file -sd*

Also Backup team confirmed that the backup policy is activated.

Please let me know how to resolve this issue.

Regards,

Anil

W1M -f backup -i /oracle/W1M/saparch/.aedxlqkf.lst -t file -c': ERROR: need to specify (-p)

Anil,

this problem could be with Backit file, it should be pointed to veritos backup bin directory.

Backinit soft link file will be there in run directory, pls check whether it is pointing to corect location (compare with other systems if possible),

when backup executed It will check for this file, if soft link is created that request goes to Veritas backup client, then backup will run.

try this command:

brbackup -c -u / -d util_file_online -t online -m all -p /oracle/W1M/102_64/dbs/initW1M.utl

I Just wanted to know is it a Netbackup issue or SAP issue.

No - I can't.

You should ask that question your Veritas support.

Backint is reporting tihs problem, not the SAP tools --> Veritas problem; there seem to be some configuration missing.
