[Veritas-bu] SCSI reserves on SSO windows drives
Not sure if anyone can help it, but i have a most annoying problem with SSO windows drives and reservation conflicts. I have 8 IBM Ultrium 2 drives that are shared between 10 windows media servers (2000+2003). Backups can work fine for a few days and then 'RESERVATION CONFLICTS' appear. Occassionally vmoprcmd -crawlreleasebyname will release the reserve but more often than not a trip to the datacentres and a physical reset of drive is the only recourse to break the reserve. Drives are all same firmware revision and tape drivers are all IBM 6.1.3.5. Netbackup 5.1 MP6, it's legacy but no current path to upgrade so i'm stuck for a while. Does anyone know where i should be looking to identifying what's placing this reservation, it's not Netbackup i don't think? Or is there anything i can do to reduce the reserves?

Re: [Veritas-bu] SCSI reserves on SSO windows drives
Certainly seen this alot. Own a HP ESL with 12 drives. Would find that if any work was done on the fabric or switches, I had to do things like: 1) stop all backups 2) shutdown all NBU processes on Master / Media Servers 3) Power down library 4) Restart, scan Master / Media Servers for tape drives and library 5) Restart NetBackup Sometimes netbackup processes would hang around a Master / Media Server and had to use pskill to remove them! The BPTM logs may hold additional information. In fairness, since moving to the latest firmware, upgrading our HBA cards and drivers, we seem to be a little more stable.

Re: [Veritas-bu] RMAN crosscheck
Are you sure RMAN actually knows about the tape an image is on? If it does, that is just silly. It should just ask for a backupid, then NBU will give it the correct tape, regardless of whether it's a duped or vault copy or whatever. I've always been sure that that's the way it worked (Although, I'm not a DBA and don't know that much about RMAN). Why would RMAN, if it's using the sbt_tape pipe to talk to NBU, need to know media details? It doesn't make any sense. I can understand it if you're using RMAN without NBU to write straight to tape, but if RMAN is just piping data to NBU, why would it need to double up on NBUs media management? Does RMAN also track disk STUs? I know in our environment, we write all our Oracle archive log backups to a DSSU, then they get moved out to tape and deleted from the DSSU within a day or so. We restore regularly (to development), and it always works fine, regardless of whether the archive log backups are still on disk or have been moved to tape. Does that mean RMAN is aware of the destage process? I highly doubt it.

I've always been sure that that's the way it worked (Although, I'm not a DBA and don't know that much about RMAN). I think you're right, it just keeps the Media ID. It's been a few months since I have looked closely at it. Regarding vaulted tapes: RMAN will not know that a tape has been vaulted, so it will have the wrong media ID for requesting the tape. If the tapes are restored into the NBU catalog, RMAN will then ask for the correct backup pieces by name. This not an issue with RMAN, as the API has that capability, at least according to the docs. It just has not been implemented by Veritas. This would bear further investigation, as that situation may have changed since I last looked into it. Does RMAN also track disk STUs? I know in our environment, we write all our Oracle archive log backups to a DSSU, then they get moved out to tape and deleted from the DSSU within a day or so.

Does that mean RMAN is aware of the destage process? I highly doubt it. There is a way for RMAN in later version to track backups that are staged to disk and then backed up on to tape. I have never used it, and don't know any details about it.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5.5 Eject Issue.
We are running NBU 6.5.5 on RHEL5. 4 identical RHEL5 media servers each attached to its own DELL ML6000 tape library, the drives being shared. We have this issue on only one of the libraries. After seeing this problem the firmware on all of the libraries was upgraded to the latest version available. The firmware upgrade didn't fix the problem. There were no hardware errors before or after the firmware upgrade. It's intermittent , sometimes working and there doesn't seem to be a pattern to the failures. On occasion we've had to resort to using robtest to get the tapes into the access port. Planning on going to NBU 6.5.6 in the next few weeks, maybe this will fix the problem.
