SLP: suspending and restarting cancelled jobs

Hi,

We are in the process of moving our policies to a new disk based storage unit and all of policies will use SLPs. The backup to disk and tape run as per policy schedule and the offsite copy part of the SLP is restricted to certain hours during the day.

Earlier in the week I had to restart NetBackup on one of the media servers. I did the normal process that we had in place and also suspended the SLPs. However, the SLP operations which were already ongoing, did not cancel when I shut down NetBackup. I got a whole list of SLP operations in progress. The tasks which didn't stop on NetBackup shutdown were 1 bpcd, 1 bpduplicate and bpdm (several processes).

Here is what I thought to get NetBackup to really shutdown (script with following workflow).

1. Suspend SLPs
2. List incomplete images for SLPs
3. Get backup IDs from above step and then cancel them
4. Shutdown NetBackup
5. ..... do schedule maintenance....
6. Startup NetBackup
7. Use backup IDs from step 2, and restart/reissue those operations only

Does this sound like a viable workaround? Is there a better way out? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
