Re: [Veritas-bu] RMAN, Veritas - Correlating Media ID after tape vaulted
Since you know the completion time and elapsed time from the RMAN output
you could figure it out by doing:
bpimmedia -L -policy policy -d 06/14/2009 017:00:00 -e 04/27/2008
18:30:00
The end time (-e) is the one shown for completion (padded a little) and
the start time (-d) is subtracting the hour and three minutes from that
end time (and padding a little). This will show you the backup IDs and
the image 1 and image 2 data. The image 2 data is the vaulted tapes.
This would show you only the image 2 tapes if the image 1 tapes had
already expired. Some people keep a longer retention on offsite than
on site.

Notice the Media ID of 002774. So far, so good.
The problem occurs when working with media that has been vaulted.
What occurs then is the the images on 002774 are copied to a new tape
with a different Media ID.
Let's say in this case the vaulted tape has a Media ID of 003500
So tape 003500 goes offsite, and tape 002774 is put back in the scratch
pool and reused.
At this point the RECALL PREVIEW is reporting the incorrect Media ID,
because
RMAN has no knowledge of the tape vaulting.
This brings up some questions I have not been able to find answers to.
1) What NBU command can be used to correlate the old Media ID to the new
Media ID?
I have examined and tried bpimmedia, bpimagelist and vmquery. No joy.
2) I believe the (unpublished) RMAN SBT API has routines to allow the
media
ID to be updated in the catalog in the event a tape is copied to a new
one which
is moved offsite. Does anyone know where the docs are regarding this (
I have
looked), and if Veritas makes use of it. I have looked at the CROSSCHECK
and
CHANGE RMAN commands, but didn't see anything relevant.
That doesn't mean it wasn't there however, I just could have missed it.
The whole point of this post is to learn how to use the information

Re: [Veritas-bu] RMAN, Veritas - Correlating Media ID after tape vaulted
Well you could use bpimmedia to extract the backup ID for the tape and
then use that to find all tapes with that ID but that would be even more
of a kluge. Also it would have the downside of not working if the
primary copy had already expired while the offsite was still valid.
If you're saying RMAN isn't that good at keeping track of things I'd
have to say I agree but that's something the Oracle folks should
address.

[Veritas-bu] SQL Online Agent Backups - Using alot of tapes
Hi All, I am trying to figure out where I tell SQL Server clients to stream all its data to a small number of tapes. For example I have a Storage Unit, set to Multiplex to 25 to one drive. Within my SQL Server Policy, if I look at Default-Application-Backup, Media Multiplex is set to 25. The Policy holds approx 10 clients and each has ALOT of DB's on them. Apart from what I am doing, is there anything else within the SQL Agent / GUI that I can look at to try to help? Problem I have is when a 6 drive robot has 4 drives in use for SQL, then alot of jobs are queuing. I am going to look at changing the backup Window, but as I was here, thought I would pose the question to any fellow online SQL Bods. Ta muchly.

So you need to hook them up to get the media server to see the drives. How are they connected. Are you using a switch? If so, zoning them to the right place should be pretty easy. Once the drive is seen by both the media server and the NDMP host, SSO will allow it to be used by either one when necessary. -- Darren ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] Java GUI Console Issues (RESOLUTION)
Actually, as I was looking over some stale-but-still-open cases I have with Symantec earlier today, I realized that my snark may be misplaced. There are certain places where NBU will insist on using the shortname for a master or media server, because that's how it's stored in EMM, even if a given host lists the master and media servers in its local configuration by FQDN. The circumstance that I've run into is when trying to perform backups of Active Directory servers with the granular recovery option enabled: the majority of System State was simply not backed up, the cause for which came down to the client retrieving the name of the master server to which to send the granular data through EMM (rather than its own config) and then being unable to contact that master server because it cannot resolve the FQDN of the master server that, from AD's point of view, lives in a different domain and, for reasons I'll never fully understand, AD has naming and security policy intertwined in such a way that it breaks things to have a given domain controller appear in a domain controlled by some other DC. So then no data got sent without enabling the client side to resolve short names into the outside domain in some way. (And, of course, I was kidding anyway, Rusty.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Java GUI Console Issues (RESOLUTION)
I had similar issues with short names randomly popping up in my 6.5.3 environment. In case this helps, here is how to change to the FQDN within EMM: First, get a listing of the hosts in the EMM database: 1) nbemmcmd -listhosts NBEMMCMD, Version:6.5.3 The following hosts were found: server master01.bos.ralph.net master master01.bos.ralph.net media media01 Command completed successfully. Next, run the rename command: 2) nbemmcmd -renamehost -machinename media01 -machinetype media -newmachinename media01.bos.ralph.net Confirm the change was implemented: 3) nbemmcmd -listhosts NBEMMCMD, Version:6.5.3 The following hosts were found: server master01.bos.ralph.net master master01.bos.ralph.net media media01.bos.ralph.net Command completed successfully.

Re: [Veritas-bu] RMAN, Veritas - Correlating Media ID after tape vaulted

Oracle has provision in the RMAN API to update the RMAN repository when media ID's are changed due to vaulting. I've seen it addressed somewhere in the docs, can't haven't been able to find it again. As the API is published only to partners, there's no API documentation for me to go look this up. It's up to Veritas to actually implement this in the Oracle MML. :) Jared Still Certifiable Oracle DBA and Part Time Perl Evangelist Oracle Blog: http://jkstill.blogspot.com Home Page: http://jaredstill.com ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
