Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP question (drive sharing)
The DataONTAP manuals go into some detail about how to configure shared drives, and the use of the scsi reservations. As I read it this is only really designed if you are using the native 'dump' kind of backups. In theory you may be able to do what you want if you follow the NetApp configuration rules for their drive sharing. Ideally you would then schedule your jobs so they never try to run on two filers that share a drive (so no conflicts can occur). You'd have to try it out to see what happens otherwise; I guess NetBackup may retry a backup, or it may down the drive. I'm not sure NetBackup can cope with the configuration if the drives are robotic (almost sure to be!). I doubt it letting you configure NDMP drives as shared drives.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Need help with Windoze clients
Eric: Thank you for the reply... Have you tried performing an nslookup on these clients from your master media servers ? also a tracert ? I have run numerous lookups on the clients with success from the clients - master server and master server - clients. I have not done a tracert. Is that a command unique to Windows 2003? I have run traceroutes (Sun Solaris 9 server) from the master to the clients with success. If things seem to work might try using the IP number as the client name for test purposes and the bpclntcmd command=20 I have not had the Windows admins run the bpclntcmd command. Would that be in C:\Program Files\Netbackup\bin? I will make sure that is done. I am not familiar with bpclntcmd command=20. I run bpclntcmd all the time on UNIX clients.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Disaster recovery configuration
Bobby:
If you were to chose the route suggested by Kris (we do this) make sure
that you replicate /usr/openv/volmgr/database/poolDB and
/usr/openv/volmgr/database/volDB too. When you fire up the alternate
site you will need to inventory the robot so that the volDB and poolDB
databases can be updated. Then it is as simple as putting in tapes and
going.
One other thing. If the name of the NBU server in the alternate site has
a different name you will need to do a couple of other things too.
Place these in the alternate site master server's bp.conf:
FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = home_site_master alt_site_master
FAILOVER_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVERS = home_site_master alt_site_master
Stop and start NBU then run the following command:
bpimage -newserver alt_site_master -oldserver home_site_master
This changes the ownership of the images from the home site to the alt
site master.
HTH,
Bill

Bobby,
You plan sounds very good, but one question. Why not just replicate
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/images to the alternate master? Then you would
not even have to recover the image db. Just put tapes in, inventory, and
restore. Of course you couldn't be backing up a client with the same
exact name in both locations, but I doubt your doing this anyway.
Another downfall to this is that is isn't supported, but it works! This
is how we do DR for one of my accounts for both Windows and HPUX.

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Disaster recovery configuration
Several scenarios (since I don't know how much budget you have).
Since you are considering a global cluster, I will assume that you have
a hefty net pipe.
(some of the steps below are discussed in a white paper from Veritas on
doing DR without importing tapes. You can find it on the web site, but
I am at home and my copy is on my desk at work in my DR manuals.)
We are doing this process with 2 data centers. Each data center is the
DR site for the other. Centers are 100 miles apart with a big pipe
between.
DR tapes are sent to an offsite company (metallic sound big hill). Each
site has a Master server (same OS has to be on both master servers) and
robot that backs up local servers. (although it is obvious to some, the
robots need to have compatible tape devices) Each master does a database
backup to disk each day (as well as tape). Each master has a policy to
back up the alternate master's disk based database backup.
So, now I have a copy of the alternate master's database, safe copies of
DR tapes, and hardware to restore. (I last did a DR test on this in
August 05 on 4.5FP6).
Now, the DR happens. Assuming that key people survive (and most DR
plans always assume this), everyone gets in the car and waits in traffic
as all of the other survivors try to get out of town (of course everyone
is going to let you through because you have to do your DR recovery and
it is more important than them saving their own life). Now you call
your offsite vendor and have them send your DR tapes to the DR site.
(Oops, they did not have any employees show up for work). Anyway, you
get your tapes and your self to the DR site.
All you need to recover your data is the
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/{client to be recovered} directories.
(Everything is there to recover, you do not need the volDB.) Write
protect your tapes from the failed site (since you don't have the volDB,
you can not write to these tapes) and put them in the robot. Create a
pool that will have only your DR tapes in it (will make your sanity
better) Inventory the robot to get the updated media list (I did not say
to inventory the tapes).
Put a FORCE_RESTORE directive in bp.conf so that you have the right
configuration, and also put a NO_RESTRICTIONS file in the
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames directory. And while all of the Unix
admins are running around trying to figure out who forgot to plan for
having extra hardware on hand to recover to (that is a requirement for
DR, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SERVER TO RESTORE TO), you need to promote all of
your offsite tape images to be the primary copy (if you don't, you will
be waiting to mount all of those tapes that melted) You are now ready
to restore your critical servers.
ANOTHER OPTION: for the folks that can't have the above scenario.
(Remember, you are not in violation of your license by using the
software key from the master server that melted).
Do the same thing above, after you rebuild a system to be the master.
You can still back up the database across a WAN, or make sure you send a
copy offsite EVERY TIME you pull tapes.

So all Hard Links are not restoring properly Here is a snippet of the error a standard restore gives: 09:41:59 (447272.005) /imap1-mailstore101/=user/c2/10/=+X+Xaa/98/69851.msg 09:41:59 (447272.005) Changed /imap1-mailstore101/=user/c2/10/=+X+Xaa/98/69851.msg to /store/restore/restore-XXaa//98/69851.msg 09:41:59 (447272.005) Could not link /store/restore/restore-XXaa/98/69851.msg - /imap1-mailstore101/=user/85/c2/=+Y+Ybb/09/937.msg. Errno = 18: Cross-device link QUESTION: Is there a way to back up and restore the data in the links for these one-off requests for a user's mail store restore that we get daily, while also keeping the knowledge of the link..so in a REAL disaster we can restore to a system with the proper inode structures with the symbolic links intact?

[Veritas-bu] NBU v6 Down-revved Clients?
Hello All: I've a two-part question that doesn't seem to covere4d in the NBU v6.0 dox nor the NBU v6.0 Compatability matrix. Here goes: 1. Is NBU v4.5 supported as an NBU v6.0 client? 2. What is the Veritas approved upgrade method for for upgrading clients from v4.5 to v6.0? (The v6.0 install dox say that you must first upgrade NBU SERVER from v4.5 to 5.x; THEN you can upgrade to v6.0. A straight upgrade from v4.5 to v6.0 is NOT SUPPORTED.) (Is this also true for NBU clients as well?) Any input would be most welcome.

Re: [Veritas-bu] VAULT: how to turn off resetting Vault ID/Slot
Try using the inventory robot option (aka vmupdate) instead of vltinject. HTH rob On Mon, Dec 12, 2005 at 04:10:51PM -0500 or thereabouts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Guys: Need help. I've recently implemented Vault. I would like to move slotted media instead of containers at my offsite storage facility. I would like to assign each tape an individual Vault Container/Slot ID. I know how to assign the ID, but I noticed something odd during my testing. When I import the tapes that are coming back from rotation, the Vault Container ID and/or Vault Slot ID are reset. I am guessing that vltinject is responsible for this. Is there anyway to avoid this reset.

[Veritas-bu] Cleaning Tape SAN Media Server
Title: Message Good Morning. Well so far, I am having alot more successful backups. I get the very odd status 84 message appear, but the backups do continue and complete. Looking into this more, I wonder if my drives need cleaning. I have purchased 2 tape cleaning media's - is there a way I can configure in Netbackup to "automatically" clean the drives?? Or do you have to use TPCLEAN? For example, I will stick the cleaning tape in slot 1 - can a schedule be set to clean tapes or am I talking rubbish!? Also, if anyone has any docs on how to put in a SAN Media Server, I would TRULY apprecaite it! Tried to implement a MEdia Server over the weekend, and clearly I am doing something wrong because when I finally got it up and running, all I was seeing was a mirror image of what my master is seeing! And although I am trying to configure the SAN Media Server to go through a fibre backup, rather than LAN, this does not seem to be happening! Thanks to everyone with all of their help and input!
