Re: [Veritas-bu] Methods to Backup SQL 2005 mirror
Hi Guys, Apologies for the late response but I have been on holiday over Easter. Simon; Jonathon is correct in his assumption and apologies if my earlier mail was unclear. SQL 2005 clustering and mirroring are two distinct concepts. Mirroring doesn't utilize a virtual server and shared storage; instead a database is stored on one server and copied to another, providing a standby copy of the database that can service clients in the event of a server failure. As far as I can see the 'hot' backup element should be the same as backing up a stand alone client the only question is whether it is advisable to backup up both servers (the primary and mirror) or just to backup the primary and perform a restore with move operation in the event of failure. I'm guessing I will just load the SQL agent on both servers and perform daily full backups on both just for ease. Thanks for your assistance on this matter.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup administration console
What we have done here is to assign a fixed IP address to any workstations that need to run NBConsole. Then assign a host name and make sure that DNS has forward and reverse look up, for the host name Then add the workstation/server DNS name to the master server additional servers list on the master server, see below. In my case my XP workstation is named cksunix, and you can see that it is listed. Your XP login needs to have admin priveleges in order for you to see all the information. when you launch the Netbackup Admin Console The other servers are the media servers and one other workstation that is authorized to login.

Re: [Veritas-bu] clients in hosts files and forcing NICs to FULL
We use DNS for everything. If you want a new server to work correctly, then the production side needs to be in DNS- just make the backup DNS part of the process for whoever does the production net. As for Auto vs Hardcoded- we have issues on 100Mb going to half-duplex when those clients when they are set to Auto, so those have to be hard-coded. For Gig clients, Auto works fine. People like to have one rule though- so we tell them hard-code just to make sure it always works. But again- this process is the same for both production and backup networks, so it makes it much easier for the sysadmins to keep straight.

[Veritas-bu] Netbackup administration console
I've seen that problem. Try the following: - Add the host names for the master and client in each others hosts file. - Make sure there is a SERVER = pc_machine in the bp.conf on the master server. Make sure the master server nsswitch.conf is set for files first for hosts: - If your network has disabled ICMP this also may be a problem since the Windows GUI does an ICMP ping check to the master server when making a connection. You can disable that by using the following: On the Client; a) Crate the following Registry (Edit -- Add Key -- Key Name; General) ; KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\VERITAS\NetBackup\General b) Then Highlight KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\VERITAS\NetBackup\General and Add the following value (Edit -- Add Value -- Value Name; PingOverride Data Type; REG_DWORD Data; 1 Radix; Hex Barring the above resolving the issue - you may want to create the C:\install-path\VERITAS\NetBackup\logs\NBconsole folder and see if that gives you any idea why this problem is occurring. Or you could install the windows java gui as a work around. - Finding fabulous fares is fun. Let Yahoo!

I have read a note about supporting NetBackup for Solaris 10 and it says I have to apply MP2 or higher, in my case it is MP5. I can see tape drives on the OS level, no problem with it at all. It is our first Solaris 10 with NetBackup, we have a few others on Solaris 9 and no any problems at all. We have another server that controls the same tape library, and it has SSO license and configured with shared drives. Your thoughts would be really appreciated. Thank you, Boris. ___ Veritas-bu maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 5.1 on Solaris 10
Hi Boris, If you're using SSO you should really be on version 6.0 MP4 anything earlier will always have issues. Not saying that 6.0 MP4 is perfect but support are way more helpful when you have issues. 6.0 was built to support SSO where 5.1 and earlier it was an after thought.
