Error Message

Error E0BB00BD: Device true cannot be opened. Error 00000002: No such file or directory

The subsequent job fails with Error E0BB00BD and 00000002 when starting multiple backup jobs in parallel at the timing of the completion of the preceding job. This behavior is a limitation on the backup function.

WORKAROUND:
Please perform 1, 2, or 3.

1. Please specify all the volumes in a single backup job using “symsr –createjob”.

2. Please use the below command.

symsr -runjob job-1 & symsr -runjob job-2 & symsr -runjob job-3

It means that 3 jobs start simultaneously.
Moreover when running 2 backup jobs (job-4/job-5) after the last job of job-1/job-2/job3 completes, below command is available. It means that after 3 jobs (job-1/job-2/job-3) start simultaneously and the last job complete, remaining 2 jobs (job-4/job-5)start simultaneously.

symsr -runjob job-1 & symsr -runjob job-2 & symsr -runjob job-3 & wait ; symsr -runjob job-4 & symsr -runjob job-5
 
3. Please adjust schedules for all backup jobs so that backup-start-time does not overlap with backup-end-time.


Note: VERITAS does not recommend to run 4 backup jobs or more in parallel or simultaneously since the system might be unstable due to consumption of more resources.
