Error to Agent 3.0 - Linux

Post by jcerrato1 »

Error: Failed to execute agent management command startBackup. Error: Another backup job is running.

1) I have uninstalled the above agent.
2) rebooted that server .
3) installed the agent again,
4) The backup will run without issues for a couple times and then give the above error. This started happening when I upgraded from version 2 to 3 agent.

Hi,

What mode is that? Is it standalone or managed by VBR/Agent mode? Are you positive that there are no other jobs attempting to start at the same time? Please also provide logs (either open a support case, or provide a link to a downloadable archive)

Thanks!

Did you find a solution? We are encountering the same problem with Agent 3.

We also see this same issue after updating to Agent 3.0 on RHEL 7

Confirmed there are NO veeam processes running before kicking off the job and get 'Another Job is Running' error.

At that point, there IS a veeamjobman and veamagent process running, but they are the ones from the job thats just failed.

Code: Select all

root     117603 111127  0 02:36 ?        00:00:00 veeamjobman Service --session {2eccbc59-8659-4d93-8e1a-12af361ba186} --socket /var/tmp/veeam/socket/veeam.sock --log /var/log/veeam/Backup/Agent Backup Job 1 - dre-<hostname>/Session_20190122_023609_{2eccbc59-8659-4d93-8e1a-12af361ba186}/Job.log
root     117665 111127  0 02:36 ?        00:00:08 veeamagent --log /var/log/veeam/Backup/Agent Backup Job 1 _B dre_B<hostname>/Session__20190122__023609___F2eccbc59_B8659_B4d93_B8e1a_B12af361ba186_G/Agent.Source.log --mgmtConnKey AQAAAAAAAAAhAAAAVkFMIG1hbmFnZW1lbnQgY2hhbm5lbCBlbmNyeXB0aW9uAQAAAAEAAAAAAAAAGOGkPfux1AECAAAASgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACAAAAAQAAAAD46aEA42nF/nltLUNYoUe0QBkF0OrBW475HahsxCNEkM7B1/8zDLUQPxS0w/OoGpEAAAABkLErh+h9DJdmxJPiVd8AA=
At this point, restarting veeamservice clears these processes and the job may then work (or may fail with the same error)
