If a client backup is reported in the activity monitor as "Timed Out - Start" it doesn't necessarily mean that the client isn't working properly or that it needs restarting.
The Avamar server may have been too busy servicing other client backups and didn't reach this client before its backup schedule ended.
Make sure the backup isn't scheduled to run during the maintenance window when backup session capacity is limited to 2 per data node and check that there are enough nodes to service all clients.
The likelihood of seeing "Timed out - start" failures will increase if you have relatively few data nodes but have lots of clients which take a significant amount of time to perform backups (therefore hogging the limited session availability).
Reply First I try to restart Solaris client (V880). In logs lot of lines end with:
2011-07-21 15:16:05 avagent Info <7452>: Registration of client /clients/V880 with MCS avamar:28001 successful.2011-07-21 15:16:05 avagent Info <5928>: Registration of plugin 2001 Unix successful.2011-07-21 15:16:05 avagent Info <5619>: Registration of client and plugins complete.2011-07-21 15:16:05 avagent Info <7150>: first work request delayed for 180 seconds.Avamar is my backup server.
When I start backup manualy in Solaris client log is
2011-07-21 15:18:55 avagent Info <5962>: Wake up message received
2011-07-21 15:18:55 avagent Info <7151>: first work request delay finished.

In Avamar administration on "Activity" pane this backup freeze as "Waiting-Client" on 5 min.In logs:

How I can localize this problem?Reply Hi Sergey,
we are getting exactly the same error (3 years on I know), with Avamar client 6.1.101-87 on Solaris 10. Again, agent starts, requests work, and sleeps, then the grid just changes from 'waiting on client' to 'TimedOut-Response' - the client has never started off the job.
truss-ing the avamar client process shows a lot of ETIME error messages:
/2: lwp_park(0x00000000, 0) (sleeping...) /6: lwp_park(0xFE99BA98, 0) Err#62 ETIME /5: lwp_park(0xFEA9BAF0, 0) Err#62 ETIME /6: lwp_park(0xFE99BA98, 0) (sleeping...) /5: lwp_park(0xFEA9BAF0, 0) (sleeping...) /7: lwp_park(0xFE89BB70, 0) Err#62 ETIME /7: lwp_park(0xFE89BB70, 0) (sleeping...) Did you ever find a resolution to this?
Thanks,
Matt

Ix if the solution I have only works for Exchange DAGs. If it was Exchange DAGs you would have to restart the DAGs Service on DAG's (cluster) manager

2. run /etc/init.d/avagent stop; /etc/init.d/avagent start
