Environment
NetBackup 6.5.3 to 7.1.0.2
Cause
Bpdbm has a hardcoded timeout of 5 minutes. When nblbc on the Exchange client is enumerating the GRT objects for duplication to create the catalogue entries for the duplicated image and it takes longer than 5 minutes, bpdbm will close nblbc’s socket and when nblbc tries to connect back, the socket is closed and nblbc crashes.
Solution
The formal resolution to this issue (Etrack  2425881) is included in the following release:

  • NetBackup 7.1 Maintenance Release 3 (7.1.0.3)
