I have a client that is kicking off DB2 backups via cron job, there is an issue with the backup and I killed it but it keeps starting again. 

 

is this normal?

What am I missing?

 

Hi @christopherlecky 

 

Please connect to db2 server and cat /etc/CommVaultRegistry/Galaxy/Instance001/Db2Agent/.properties 

Verify if it has sDb2ThresholdALFS & sDb2ThresholdALFN key is set

 

command line db2 log backups are initiated when it meets one of the criteria

 

 

Additional setting

Category

Type

Value

sDb2ThresholdALFS

Db2Agent

String

The size of the DB2 archive log files, in MB, that triggers the software to start a log backup.

If you want the log files to go directly to media, set the value to 1.

sDb2ThresholdALFN

Db2Agent

String

The number of DB2 archive log files that triggers the software to start a log backup.

If you want the log files to go directly to media, set the value to 1.

In case if those parameters need to be adjusted, please do not edit the .properties file but navigate to the commvault console and adjust them from additional settings tab from the client properties advanced tab.

 

Let me know in case of any other questions.

 

Regards,

 

 


Thank you Shankar
