[Veritas-bu] Master Server Migration

2011-11-01 Thread oersted
Question for all:

Shouldn't you disjoin the old master from the domain after you perform catalog 
backup and then join domain with new master with same hostname/IP before 
installing NBU?

[Veritas-bu] NDMP backups

2011-11-01 Thread oersted
forget NDMP with Isilon.there is much better method, which I have only done 
with NFS.

Take your media server and hard mount UNC to each individual node.

take the number of subdirectories in the root and divide by the number of nodes

yes it might not be an even number, but you'll have slight imbalance..1

yes...you could script to check for subs in root and chop it up evenly and 
update backup selections

Or, if you have tight controls where you work...anytime storage admin creates a 
new subdirectory in root, you are notified to rebalance backup selections.

then set backup selections as follows

For example: you have four nodes and 16 subs

NEW_STREAM

//unc-path-node1/ifs/directories 1-4

NEW_STREAM
//unc-path-node2/ifs/directories 5-8

NEW_STREAM
//unc-path-node3/ifs/directories 9-12

NEW_STREAM
//unc-path-node4/ifs/directories 13-16


what this winds up doing is making the Isilon use its backplane (Infiniband) 
between nodes because that's what its meant for...the collective throughput of 
many connections to many nodes being hit all at once.

10GbE on media server really rips!!

I've seen 500+ MB per seond

I can see the data in the restore console so I know its there.
Symantec support is telling me that the D:\ on the Citrix box is EFI format

You may create the script as you like.

If you use the script only to change the file selection, be sour that it
will run before the policy.

But, yes, you may create a script that will change the data selection and

The following backup selections capabilities are NOT supported for an NDMP

I have a large folder full of sub folders that need to be backed up.

You could generate your list and either using bp commands or update 
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/class//include, but either way the 
policy must be updated BEFORE it is started as it will not look at the 
list of files again. Also you need to nbpemreq(?) -updatepolicies before 
you start it.
I'm sure the first method, bp commands would be supported, I'm not 
sure about the second method as VERTIAS/Symantec sort of frown on these 
things. :)

Hi Howard, i just did some testing recently too using the network (instead of 
SAN).  it was fairly easy to set up once the correct permissions were set in 
vCenter.  Our esx hosts are connected with 10GB and the vm guests are at 1GB, 
so the backups using the API was much faster.  i was able to restore full vmdks 
from the backup and found that the nb client is required if you want to restore 
files back to the original vm guest.  our paint point is the config 
requirements to get this done to each vm guest.  for example, you need to 
enable change block tracking on each vm, change backups using time stamps 
instead of archive bits, and making the UUID based quiescing for windows 2008 
servers (theres a symantec article on this).

[Veritas-bu] NDMP in Practice

2011-11-01 Thread rhugga
I worked around this problem by running scripts against each filer and 
comparing this to the include/exclude list for each policy. I was in an 
environment with over 200 netapp filers and this was a constant problem.

Also you don't want to use exportfs to glean a list of what to back up (this 
shouldn't work anyways if its an NDMP policy), you want to use "vol status" or 
something similar. (Ideally you should get the perl API so you can interface 
with the Netapp OS in a robust, enterprise grade manner)
So I use the perl API to glean a list of volumes and then make sure each is
