[Veritas-bu] Slow backup speed
HI I am facing problems in backup speed for backing up SAP databases. My setup is as follows I am using shadow image ie split sync for backing up my SAP databases.The datasize is approximately 13TB. My PVols are mounted from Hitachi 9990V storage and are attached to Sun M9000 server. My Svols are mounted from Sun storage 6140 and are attached to Sun T5220 which is configured as media server in veritas netbackup6.0. I have L1400 Tape Library from which 4 LTO4 drives are presented to secondary server from which backup is taken, Average speed per stream is 30MBPS which makes overall throughput of 4*30=120MBPS.backup time is around 36 hours.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Slow backup speed
You should check the bptm and bpbkar logs to see what the system is waiting for.

84 is usually when you get errors writing to a disk. To the best of my knowledge, it does not sound like a disk full message.

Re: [Veritas-bu] BPCD service gets stopped automatically.
If it is a client why aren't you running it in inetd or xinetd? Maybe you are and don't understand the purpose of inetd/xinetd is to listen for the port and start the process only when there is a request to actually do something from the master? Maybe inetd/xinetd is interfering with command line run. Did you mean media server instead of client? What happens if you try telnet thor2 13782 from your NetBackup master server?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Shadow copy components issue.
If the client is W2008 R2 you may need to be sure you have the latest version of the patch mentioned in http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/338003.htm. The first release of the engineering binary didn't help but the second one did. Without this patch my 2008R2 clients were not getting the shadow copy components correctly backed up in all cases.

Re: [Veritas-bu] BPCD service gets stopped automatically.
You should send your replies to the list rather than just to me. That way if someone else can help they will or if I say something stupid they'll correct it. :-) That looks right to me but I would have expected the installer to update it automatically for you. Did you install the client by pushing from the master or by some other means? Typically the installer would update inetd or xinetd with necessary entries and also update your /etc/services. The line below is assuming you have bpcd port defined in /etc/services like: bpcd13782/tcp bpcd There are other ports that the installer might also configure in inetd.conf and/or /etc/services as well.

Re: [Veritas-bu] RMAN 11.2 and Netbackup bug
They're not saying it's a bug. They're saying: Support for Oracle version 11g R2 is available in NetBackup 7.0 and planned for NetBackup 6.5 Release Update 6 (6.5.6) scheduled second quarter of 2010. So the fixes are actually backports into older NBU versions prior to the NBU versions that will support 11gR2. Since 5.1 is EOL you're not likely to get a fix for it. Since they also say: Attempting to backup Oracle version 11g R2 without these fixes will result in the failures below: It means you're not going to be able to backup 11gR2 with 5.1. Also 6 was a major change from 5.1 so assumptions about things being broken in 6 being broken the same way in 5.1 aren't necessarily valid. Early 6 had a quite a few bugs that 5.1 didn't and 6 allows for things that 5.1 didn't. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Nate Sanders Sent: Monday, May 10, 2010 4:09 PM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] RMAN 11.2 and Netbackup bug A coworker is doing testing with RMAN/Oracle 11.2 and Netbackup 5.1MP6.

I would not be surprised if they're in 6.5.6 which was just released - you can check online if you're interested. If you re-read the article you posted, you'll see the links to the binaries for support in 6.5.4 and 6.5.5 there. The message to your management should be that you your NetBackup installation needs to be relatively close to the newest operating system or application release that it needs to support. If you want to run database agents on the new versions of the applications, whether it's Oracle, Exchange, or whatever, you're going to have keep NetBackup current. This isn't a case of NetBackup having bugs - it's the impossibility of supporting a release of an application that wasn't available at the time NetBackup was released. Oracle 11g R2 is fairly current. NetBackup 5.1 is 3 MAJOR revisions old and is well beyond its End Of Life.
