[Veritas-bu] 6.0 MP4: Number of jobs shown in activity monitor
Hello. Having a look at the Activity Monitor, I see that there are only 34 Jobs listed, with the oldest job from 03/07/2008. I'm using the 6.0 MP4 Java GUI on Solaris. Why are there only so few jobs listed? Thanks, Alexander ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

[Veritas-bu] VxSS/NBAC
Eric, Is full client auth overkill? Depends the level of security desired. If you want to disallow Root/Administrators from doing local backup and restore on client systems, then you would need complete NBAC. certificates expiry Certificates that are issued via the bpnbat LoginMachine command get (automatically) renewed periodically. So in most cases you would not need to log into the client and issue the command again to request another cert.

[Veritas-bu] Mailbox backup error?
I recently started doing brick level backups of my exchange data and I'm getting an odd error message in my logs, the error is: 3/9/20089:45:08 PM aua077 from client aua077: WRN - MBOX:OpenCurMbox() HrMailboxLogon() returned 0x80004005 I'm getting a lot of these and my backup is only taking up about 34gb worth of space on the tape...this can't be right since I've got closer to 500gb worth of exchange data.

Re: [Veritas-bu] External event caused rewind during write.
We've seen it and it appears to be the drive itself (LTO-1/Ultrium). FYI: This corrupts the backup so when you try to restore later it will give you messages about bad tar headers. Do NOT rely on this backup even if you later see 0 exit status. We even had one drive that it appeared it corrupted EXISTING backups on a tape when it mounted it and experienced this issue. It appears the vendor actually sent the drive back to us without correcting this behavior so we had to send it back. We now record the Serial Number and problem for all drives we send back so we'll know if we get a refurbished drive back later and experience the same problem we'll be able to gig the support vendor. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Justin Piszcz Sent: Monday, March 10, 2008 6:33 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] External event caused rewind during write. 1204936626 1 132 16 media-server-name 2429907 2429907 0 client-name bptm FREEZING media id CA1234, External event caused rewind during write, all data on media is lost Anyone ever seen this before?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Lets hear about your upgrade experience! 5.x - 6.5
ok, so we found an interesting issue now with our upgrades. Right now our master/media server is experiencing issues with hot catalog backups (to tape). Here are some interesting, fun facts: 1. our master server is an aix box with multiple interfaces 2. its an upgrade from 5.1mp5 to 6.5.1 3. everything BUT catalog works just peachy 4. Error codes in include 252 (800), and 134. Anyone have this problem out there?

So far we have run into a couple of hiccups: 1. DB inconsistency: Call Symantec!!! Save your sanity, lol! 2. If you have multiple interfaces that you are using (pub, private, backup, extra, etc...) keep an eye on this as this caused some issues with our configuration and forced us to rollback to 5.1 at one site to resolve (simply rebuilding the device base and re-inventory the library). 3. VxSS: nno issues thus far... 4. Catalog backup change: We noticed that the EMM becomes unavailable during a backup; anyone else see this or this part of the new approach that netbackup is taking with catalogs? Other than that, everything seems to be running good. Anyone else?

Issues during the upgrade : - Still had problems with some LTO1 tapes imported from a previous environment.

I am still learning the ropes of NBU but I have a lot of experience with the server side of things especially Sun and AIX systems with SAN storage. I have the Symantec upgrade guide Upgrading to Veritas Netbackup 6.5 and it appears to be pretty detailed, but it just covers the steps to get from point A to point B. Some of the things I am interested in finding out: - is there anyway to estimate how long step X might take? I realize that there are so many variables that it is not possible to say popluating the EMM will take X hours but if enough people chime in on what their experience was like, maybe we can come up with an average - have there been any show stoppers that were unanticipated? We could all learn from this, knowing what questions to ask up front based on our past...er...challenges. NBU has so many options and is such a broad product that I doubt any two environments are identical. Just sort of brain storming here, looking forward to hearing (seeing?) what you all have to share. If we get a good dialog going I will attempt to compile it into something usable and post it back here.

Re: [Veritas-bu] External event caused rewind during write.
I've seen the external event message before here, and it was due to SCSI reserve not being set on the drive, allowing another host to send commands to the drive while the backup was being written to the tape.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Which daemon use on netbackup client (LINUX)?
Clients don't run daemons, the necessary processes are started when the server connects to the client via inetd (or xinetd in the case of linux). It should connect on the bpcd port, #13782. Telnet from your master server to your client on this port and see if you get a prompt of sorts. That'll give you a bunch of potentially useful information. -M -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of bbb bb Sent: Monday, March 10, 2008 3:11 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Which daemon use on netbackup client (LINUX)?
