#1544 PR `merged`: #1523 Netbackup agents not automatically started¶

Labels: enhancement, fixed / solved / done, external tool

rmetrich opened issue at 2017-10-25 13:22:¶

When using NetBackup 7 for ReaR backup (BACKUP=NBU in /etc/rear/local.conf), the NetBackup initscript (/etc/init.d/netbackup) is automatically added to the ReaR rescue image as /etc/scripts/system-setup.d/90-netbackup.sh.

Upon recovery, the agent is not started automatically.
Also the /etc/scripts/system-setup aborts immediately after sourcing NetBackup initscript, causing auto-recovery to not work.

The root cause is /etc/scripts/system-setup sourcing initscripts, instead of executing them.
This is OK for other internal scripts, but not for 3rd-party initscripts ReaR doesn't control.
In particular, netbackup executes "exit XX" at its end, causing /etc/scripts/system-setup to exit.

Suggested fix is to modify /usr/share/rear/rescue/NBU/default/450_prepare_netbackup.sh so that the "/etc/scripts/system-setup.d/netbackup" script runs in a sub-shell, as shown below:

/etc/init.d/netbackup is copied as /etc/scripts/system-setup.d/netbackup.real
/etc/scripts/system-setup.d/90-netbackup.sh is created to encapsulate /etc/scripts/system-setup.d/netbackup.real execution in a sub-shell

@gdha could you have a look here if time permits
because you also had a look at https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1523

I got confirmation that, along with fix for #1609 (PR #1610), the NetBackup daemons are now up and running at boot.

Hello guys,

Apologies for late response.

I was in touch with Red Hat Support during last few weeks to resolve this
issue.
They finally fixed this and we have funtional RPM for RHEL7 now.

Perhaps they will provide this back to upstream, but apologies if double
work was done.
I requested information what was the exact cause of the issue, but not
provided yet.

Best Wishes,
Peter Danek
