[Veritas-bu] Backup networks

2006-12-01 Thread Whelan, Patrick
Does anyone have a similar setup?
Separate backup network from clients in one location to media servers in same 
location, but the master server can only see the clients and media servers on 
the public network. This causes 41 errors, we have come up with different work 
arounds but all of them are hooey. Is there a clean solution to this dilemma? I 
know the real solution is to have one backup network for everything, but this 
is politically impossible at the moment. Any suggestions welcomed.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup networks

2006-12-01 Thread Bobby Williams
I wish that the setup you describe would work, but it CAN'T.
 
The backup job will assign a port on the NIC that receives the request.  If
the master (10.1.1.1) sends the request to systemA (10.1.1.10) to use the
storage unit on mediaA (10.1.1.2), the data will travel over the NIC that
the master sent the data on.  If the master (10.1.1.1) sent the request to
systemA (10.1.1.10) to backup using the storage unit on mediaA-b (backup nic
10.2.1.2) it would never work.  
 
If you use the required interface setting on the client, then the request
MUST come in to the client on that interface and the data can ONLY go out on
that interface.

Copying catalog from Win OS to Solaris:
- First of all take a proper catalog backup
- Stop NetBackup on source machine (Win OS)
- Decompress catalog (if needed) ( bpimage -decompress -allclients)
- Convert to ASCII (if needed) (cat_convert b2a) (I believe on Win OS this is 
already ASCII)
- Stop Netbackup on the target machine
- Copy over all images from source to target (AS ASCII !!) 
(\veritas\netbackup\db\images)
- Start NetBackup on target machine
- Try to browse through some restores
- On target machine (Solaris) convert the catalog to bin (much faster)

Why can't the master and media servers be on both networks each.
Set the client name in the policy to go over the front network
for those systems that only have one NIC, and set the name to
one that is on the backup network for those hosts that have
the second nic?

What about 802.1q?

[Veritas-bu] Weird 52 error becuase it positions tape

2006-12-01 Thread Dave Markham
Netbackup 5.0mp4 on Solaris 9 attached to an L700.

I have a media manager which is connected to shared drives running SSO
on an L700. All drives are up and visible.
I kick a job off and it finds tapes, puts them in and start to position
them but then times out and gives status 52.

I have tried freezing the tapes so it uses different tapes.

vmdareq on the master shows the media has reserved 2 of the drives, and
the tapes are actually being put into drives as i can see under robtest
and 's d'.

Any 52 ive ever had before has been not able to see drives, drives down
or the processes not running. Anyone any other ideas where to look?

Cant see anything obvious in bptm log on the media server. Occasionally
theres an unable to lock media offset something error but the rest all
looks ok.

All versions of Solaris support IPMP in software.  This allows for a bit
of outbound load sharing, but isn't really appropriate for load
balancing incoming data (as you might want on a netbackup server).  It
does provide you with failover though, and you can balance the incoming
traffic manually.  If all you need is failover, then it may be
sufficient.

SunTrunking is an extra application that you can run on Solaris.  It
only supports certain hardware in certain combinations.  It's a cost
purchase for versions prior to Solaris 10.

Solaris 10 can use SunTrunking as well, but also allows for link
aggregation of any networking hardware that uses gld3 drivers.  This is
built into Solaris and doesn't require extra software.

IP Mulitpathing (IPMP) and Link Aggregation configuration details should
be in the administrators guide for the version of Solaris you have (if
supported).

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup - Active Directory

2006-12-01 Thread Martin, Jonathan \(Contractor\)
Active Directory is actually both in the registry of a domain
controller and in several files on the disk, most notably -
%SystemRoot%\ntds\NTDS.DIT.  Suffice to say, you would probably never
restore just the registry to a domain controller, you would restore the
entire system in AD Restore Mode in which case yes, the C: and System
State would be enough to restore the Active Directory.  No special
agent or policy is required.  Your average ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES will do the
job fine.

Hi Michael,

My problem is no error et all. And still the DBA seems to report that the
backup has failed. Much to our dismay, the restore of the very successful
backup also fails. EOF file error @ DR restore. Initially we thgt its
problem with the media, but later we fortunately had a similar situation
here on-site, checked with the DBA and he found that the backup had reported
error.

Its impossible from me to scan the multitudes of dbclient log files that are
generated. I'm totally at the mercy of my DBA to report errors and correct
them.

Gurus,

Any techniques you use for a large enivorn??? pls post so that I can derive
some strategy to tackle this situation.

*Subject:* [Veritas-bu] RMAN backups - incomplete streams

Hi All,

I find it strange, say a RMAN backup has 3 streams, 2 of them complete and
one of them does not appear et all. The backup would still show up as
complete. The reasons like commn failure e.t.c. are logged in the
dbclient.

The RMAN catalog displays backup error but the veritas catalog backup is
success.

I have logged a support request and we are working towards resolving such
errors. Would be great if the list can help me.

Regards
BIJU KRISHNAN

 Unfortunately, this is a limitation of NBU's Oracle agent. The exit
status that you see in the activity monitor is not necessarily the exit
status of your backup. It is the exit status of the SCRIPT that NBU runs,
which kicks off your RMAN backup.

What we did to get around this, was to build one monolithic script, which
parses input passed to it from NBU when any given Oracle policy runs. Based
on that (and a few other proprietary things), the script shuts down the apps
associated with the SID that is about to be backed up, shuts down the SID,
brings it up in startup mount mode, then builds and executes the RMAN code.

The trick, that we coded in, was that if RMAN fails, the script will
exit with an artificial exit code, which in turn, gets passed to the
activity monitor.

Now, anyone that looks at the activity monitor, can trust the exit status
of any given Oracle backup.
