[Veritas-bu] Restore Problem

2011-08-02 Thread NBU
Hi Forum,

My Setup : Master / Media - Sol. 10 + NBU 6.5.5

I m trying to restore a file from same / different server but getting following 
error message.

Error bptm cannot connect to bprd to obtain files to restore, Error 0

But there is no problem with backup.

NO CHANGES has been done on the setup...can someone suggest any sol/workaround 
for this issue.

RESTORE IS NOT AT ALL WORKING and it is failing with error code 25 (Cannot 
Connect on Socket)

[Veritas-bu] TIR Issues

2011-08-02 Thread WEAVER, Simon (external)
All
For the past few weeks, I am seeing the following files having warning
messages against the job, resulting in status 1.

I have been going through all of my jobs, to clean up the Status 1's,
but I have not found a Technote that relates to the errors below:

02/08/2011 03:04:58 - Error bpbrm(pid=11612) from client: ERR - failure
reading file: C:\Program

reading file: C:\Program

Anyone seen anything like this? I could exclude the files, but Ideally,
wanted to just clarify this first.

 Kindly confirm if you are able to connect to the destination client
successfully. Telnet on bpcd port, nslookup should be fine to resolve 25
error code.

Hello all;

 

I have configured netbackup air in my nb 7.1 unix servers.

Everything is working as I aimed except duplication job is starting
after 30 minutes backup job finished.

Do you know any parameter to determine this?

Why duplication job start after 30 minutes?

bpclntcmd -pn might give a hint to what the problem is, and there is always
the bpcd log in combination verbose = 5 or more in the bp.conf

Make sure you connect through vnetd (13724) in both directions

Have had a similar issue where the problem was the different in time on the
two servers

hope this helps

Hello All,

I have the opportunity to take on the project of replacing our old Storagetek

Quantum I500. I have been looking at everything as far as all the 
features/options. I just haven't talk to anyone using any of these in other 
shops.  Vendors always want to visit and talk with their happy clients. Just 
looking forward to  get a general idea on everyone's experiences with these

Uli,

I have worked with the Quantum i500 and it has been a very reliable
library.  In 1 year we had a total of 2 issues with it and they were
fixed the next day.  Neither issue left the library unusable!!!

 

Management is pretty much set-it and forget-it and operations are fairly
simple.

 

BTW = we replaced 2 L700s (27 x LTO2) with 1 i500 (14 x LTO4)J

 

Thank you,

Re: [Veritas-bu] Tape Library

2011-08-02 Thread Jim VandeVegt
We replaced an STK L180 with an i500 about 15 months ago. We went from LTO2 to 
LTO5. Quantum let us rent an LTO3 drive which we used to copy all our 
long-retention images to the new media.

We looked at Spectra too. The Spectra came out a little more expensive and I 
thought their robot design with the terapacks was too complicated. That being 
said I haven't heard about any big problems with them. Spectra also wasn't 
ready to release LTO5 at the time we were buying.

The i500 has been working out well for us. The robot's feed rate (how fast it 
will move tapes around the library  CAP) is not as fast as the STK units, but 
it gets the job done. The slowness is rarely noticed when doing scheduled 
backups because we aren't standing there waiting on it.

Reliability on the i500 has been good. We had a loose ribbon cable on the robot 
carriage catch and stop it once that support fixed and believe triggered an 
engineering fix as well to properly fold and protect the cable. Other than that 
a couple drives replaced that change out of the back pretty easy. We started 
out at the lowest service level because it is user-serviceable but got tired of 
waiting until the next day for parts and upgraded to 7x24x4 service.

Only one design flaw I can speak of. The drive-to-library communication channel 
is rather slow. I think it is a 9.6 kbps serial connection. The robot does not 
have its own fiber connection - it uses a separate LUN on one of the tape 
drives - they call it the control path. This means the operation of 
inventorying the robot in NetBackup uses that slow link. The inventory is 
maintained on the library, but pulling the information using a drive. Another 
slow operation is pulling a drive log for support. You access the library GUI 
over Ethernet, and it has to pull the log across that slow link from the drive 
so you can download it. Takes 20-30 minutes.

That was a nice summary. I assume that these are Quantum tape drives? What you 
say about the tape drives w ith the control path and the serial interface to

Re: [Veritas-bu] Tape Library

2011-08-02 Thread Lightner, Jeff
We replaced our old HP OEM of the STK L700 in the 3rd quarter of last year with 
the Quantum i6000 and have been happy with it.  The capacity and speed of LTO5 
compared with the older Ultriums allowed us to get less drives and still have 
faster backups.   We were able to put two LTO3 in the library to allow us to 
read our older tapes.   Also this model is partitionable so one can allocate 
different resources to different masters.

We have seen oddities with the cleaning tapes complaining about failed memory 
chips – we’ve seen that 3 times now over the past 9-10 months.   Quantum says 
the last one we sent them at their request had exceeded number of cleanings but 
I’m not sure I buy that given that their guide shows a completely different 
message for cleaning life reached.However, this isn’t a big enough issue to 
sour me on the library itself.

Re: [Veritas-bu] netbackup air

2011-08-02 Thread Rusty Major
AIR (aka Remote Master Replication) is part of SLP and therefore is driven
by the LIFECYCLE_PARAMETERS file in /usr/openv/db/config.

There are a few parameters that control when a duplication kicks off:

MIN_GB_SIZE_PER_DUPLICATION – the default is 8GB

MAX_GB_SIZE_PER_DUPLICATION – default is 25GB

MAX_MINUTES_TIL_FORCE_SMALL_DUPLICATION_JOB – the default is 30 minutes
(looks like this is your culprit)



Be careful how you change these as it can cause too little or too many
duplication jobs and cause problems with resource broker if you are a busy
site (by busy I mean probably more than 2-3000 jobs/day including all SLP
activity).



The SLP Best Practices guide discusses all of these, and more, in great
detail. Anyone using SLPs needs to read this.

We too have moved from Sun StorageTek L180's to Dell ML6000's, which is just a 
rebadged i500.

We've been running 4 of them for three years, had a couple of grippers 
replaced, and one of the libraries seems to have an dodgy connection to its MAP 
cartridges so that when you're ejecting tapes you'll occasionally get an error.
The libraries have 194 tape slots each and 5 IBM LTO4s and they get worked 
pretty hard.

Compared to the StoTek libraries the import export cycle for tapes is glacial.

slow operation is pulling a drive log for support. You access the library GUI 
over Ethernet, and it has to pull the log across that slow link from the drive 
so you can download it. Takes 20-30 minutes.

Hello All,

I have the opportunity to take on the project of replacing our old Storagetek 
L700. The time has come to make a choice either T200 Spectralogic library  or 
Quantum I500. I have been looking at everything as far as all the 
features/options. I just haven't talk to anyone using any of these in other 
shops.  Vendors always want to visit and talk with their happy clients. Just 
looking forward to  get a general idea on everyone's experiences with these 
products.

Thanks in advance!

Uli

Don't see 13s much anymore, but in my experience it was always a corrupt
file.

All
For the past few weeks, I am seeing the following files having warning
messages against the job, resulting in status 1.

I have been going through all of my jobs, to clean up the Status 1's,
but I have not found a Technote that relates to the errors below:

02/08/2011 03:04:58 - Error bpbrm(pid=11612) from client: ERR - failure
reading file: C:\Program
Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\tir_info\J\NetBackup_file_info.new.13304 (WIN32
13: Unknown error)
02/08/2011 03:05:06 - Error bpbrm(pid=11612) from client: ERR - failure
reading file: C:\Program
Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\tir_info\V\NetBackup_file_info.new.7912 (WIN32
13: Unknown error)

Anyone seen anything like this? I could exclude the files, but Ideally,
wanted to just clarify this first.

Simon
