NetBackup Flex Scale Checkpoint Cleanup

HotFix

Abstract

Handling of temp files to ensure cleanup of checkpoints

Description

On NetBackup Flex Scale clusters with a Primary Server instance, the catalog data is protected using checkpoints.  Once the total number of checkpoints exceeds 36, the oldest checkpoint is removed and a new checkpoint is created.  When a node is shutdown or restarted via the Web UI, cleanup of old checkpoints is suspended.  In some cases, when the node is brought back online after rebooting, a status flag from the reboot is not removed.  This may cause cleanup of old checkpoints to remain suspended indefinitely, resulting in excess storage utilization.

 

This issue does not affect Media Server Only clusters (MSO).
