We have a problem with HP data Protector 8.0. The backup session fails for one of the filesystem from the backup session. There are 8 filesystems in the backup specification out of which only one particular filesystem is failing with BMA timeout error. The all 8 filesystem are 8 different LUNs from the HP EVA 6500 storage box. The backup client is HP OpenVMS and Cell Manager is Windows 2008 R2.
We discovered this few weeks back and at that time SmDaIdleTimeout = 120 min and SmMaIdleTimeout = 140 min i.e default. Then we incresed the timeout values to SmDaIdleTimeout = 150 min and SmMaIdleTimeout = 170 min and it solved the problem.
But recently this week end we again observed same issue with the new timeout values for the same filesystem.
The backup session is incremental backup and the size of data is 3-4 GB max. Though the size of the data being backed up is very less it takes about 4-5 hours to back up.
Duration: 4:16
GB Written: 0.04
The other filesystems are getting backedup properly regardless of the data size.
please can some one help me to find a root cause and resolution for this issue.
