Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup Clients : Mass Install
Jeff, If my master and media are on Solaris, can I still push AIX/Windows/RHEL with dedicated polices ? Don 't I need a master server on same platform too ?

How many databases (or more appropriately how many distinct items) are output by the command: databases=`$MYSQL -u$MYSQL_USER -p$MYSQL_PASSWORD -e SHOW DATABASES; | egrep -iv (Database|information_schema) Your for loop is telling it to run the backup for each database produced by the above command. If you have 4-5 then that is the problem. You probably want to put the “done” FROM the end of your script BEFORE that line so it does the dump of each database but then only does the backup after they’ve all been dumped.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup 450TB Oracle Database
Thank you all for wonderful thoughts. So far the plan is to do Timefinder local snapshots an may be SRDF remote snapshots if possible. As far as backups go the only backup could be done is backing up timefinder snapshots on tape. Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2014 08:58:56 -0500 Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup 450TB Oracle Database From: rusty.ma...@sungardas.com To: sharma.anu...@hotmail.com CC: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu; veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Here are my thoughts, but I think you should talk to all the vendors you can as this is physically going to be difficult to achieve due to the sheer size of the DB. If this database is critical, or even remotely important to the continuation of your business, then you should consider an online mirror, along with a remote replicated mirror. You can stop there, but to offer additional protection against corruption, etc., you are going to have to do some sort of snap to some disk storage. You won't be able to protect the database with a traditional backup as it will blow your RPO out significantly. Once it is snapped to disk, you then need to decide if you want any other copies. You can copy the snaps and/or the online mirror to tape and keep them as long as needed to meet your business requirements and any governing regulations. Tape is going to be faster than disk backups in this case and it will be significantly cheaper. Either way you slice it, to do it right will not be cheap and you will need to do a lot of testing, both on the backup and recovery side to ensure it fits within the business' RPO/RTO requirements. Don't forget to continue testing recoveries on a scheduled basis, especially after upgrades. Good luck.

You have VTL at both sites, so you should be able to replicate. Don’t be afraid to fund an additional media server for domain B. Hopefully, the OS for existing prospective master are the same. The server hardware base should be similar, but not on the identical refresh schedule (you don’t want to have to refresh both in the same year). I’m assuming you have WAN stability problems and are fed up with it. We have five NetBackup domains within 40 miles on the map around the San Francisco Bay area. We’ve gone thru fission and fusion. From the Central Time Zone, it makes so much sense to consolidate to one domain with media servers and storage units in each data center. From an operational stability standpoint, 5 nights of failed backups a month because of the WAN is not tolerable. Try to manage both domains as if they were the same domain. Use the same naming conventions for policies, storage units, etc… The biggest operational challenge is turning domain B on. Media handling is the biggest issue. Give the media owned by media/master B to media for A so you can track it. Physical tape is easy. VTL “tapes” are less so. You are going to be able to import the tapes into domain B once you get the B master created. It’s starting from scratch. The media known in domain A is essentially for a working list retained so you can use it to complete and verify your imports into domain B. Good luck.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Splitting NetBackup Domain to Two
Justin, How about this. I will setup a new master at SITE B and connect SITE B mediaserver to this new master server. Now if I get the restore request for an earlier date before the new master server went live I would have to run this from old master server which will contact this media server. How does this sound as solution??? others also please give your valuable insights Date: Sun, 29 Dec 2013 13:30:22 -0700 From: sjaco...@novell.com To: sharma.anu...@hotmail.com; jpis...@lucidpixels.com; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu; veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Splitting NetBackup Domain to Two What NBU versions and OS are at sites A and B? Justin Piszcz jpis...@lucidpixels.com 12/27/2013 2:56 PM Hi, I've never used a master server as a media server for another master server's restores and to have it be its own master server as well, I'm not sure if/how that would work - I'll let others on the list comment on that one. Aside from changing things around a bit (possibly partitioning the Site B robot if SL8500 or similar) and buying new hardware, I'm not sure I see a clean way to separate the two. The two big problems here are the different tape mediums between the two sites and lack of new hardware. If you have an SL8500 and you partition it, you could present the robot + 1-2 drives to the Site-A master server, leave the media server intact at Site B. Then, build out a new environment (master/media servers) (for the other part of the SL8500 robot/tapes) at Site B. I'd be really curious how others would approach this as well.. I've only done this one with mixed mediums and I migrated the data or let it expire for the non-LTO drives so I had a common medium, then it was easier to migrate/move/have restores in different locations.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Post upgrade 7.5.0.5 issues?
David, Wait for 7.6 if you want to implement all features of 5.1 or else update to 7.5.0.5 with esx 5.0. The key to understand here is this vmware may come with updates every now and then however it takes some time for symantec to release compatible binaries for the same. In my opinion waiting for 7.6 is better before implementing 5.1 as the VDDK for 5.1 is not stable and has backup issues this has been accepted by VMware.

Hi Dan, I dont know if my rsponse on this is still relevent. First of all there are 2 kinds of NDMP backup. Local NDMP in this filer accesses the library locally via scsi or fc Remote NDMP one filer sends the backup data to library connected to another filer When you send the backups to library connected to nbu media server it is called 3 way (which is a form of remote) ndmp. Now coming to performence on isilon It will be much better almost 10times of what you are getting now as it is going to be disk bases however connection should be over 10Gbe also i would say decide whether you want backups or archiveif u just want to archive go with data domain dd 990 archiver which gives arhives with dedupe.

Hi Howard, I'm sure you must have found solution by now. Still wanted to tell you that what you are trying to achive is possible as long as you are using VADP (vStorage API for Data Protection) not VCB. The reason is VCB server needs the staging loction but VMware Backup Host does not. Only thing you need to keep in mind is the LUNS of the specific ESX Datastore/Cluster needs to be presented to the VMware Backup host at the time of backup in order to run backup on SAN else you can always go for NBD without problem.

I’m going to look through the VMware admin guide, but also wanted to post the question to the group. ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup , Vmware and Netapp
Abhishek, Go for NetBackup 7.5. Reason: You can combine following 3 types of backups from single console. 1: Traditional Backups 2. VADP Vstorage API Backups 2. Snapshots: NetBackup 7.5 comes with Replication Director. Which allows you to combine Snapshots using NetBackup SLP. how cool is that. !!!

Use recover without import option and import all data tapes from old master to new master. 4.

Here’s the general steps I carried out. 1. The master server was running 6.5.5 on Windows 2003 so I first upgraded it to 7.0.1, NBUMServer1.2. I had a second server with windows 2008 x64 R2 with a different name but no Netbackup installation, NBUMServer2.3. I then stopped the NBUMServer1 services and disabled them in case someone tried to start them.4. Rename NBUMServer1 to NBUMServer35. Assign new IP address to NBUMServer36. Reboot NBUMServer37. Delete the NBUMServer1 Active Directory account DNS entry.8. Make sure the IP address of NBUMServer1 is free (ping –a NBUMServer3_ipaddress should not name a server)9. Change IP address on NBUMServer2 to NBUMServer1_ipaddress10. Rename the NBUMServer2 to NBUMServer1.11. Reboot the new NBUMServer1.12. Connect SAN drive with Catalog backup to NBUMServer1.13. Install Netbackup 7.0 x64 Master Server onto new NBUMServer1 box14. Patch to 7.0.115. Stop all Netbackup Services16. Perform a Catalog restore from the SAN Drive17. Add Media server list back into Netbackup (Host Properties Master Servers Servers Media Servers)18. Reboot NBUMServer119. Install Java and copy conf file from NBUMServer320. Copy over hosts file from NBUMServer321. Run nbtstat –R22. Restart Netbackup Services At that point everything came up on the New Hardware as the original Master Server Name and with everything still intact. You could then connect both the ATL’s and the VTL to the new master server and have access to all of the old backups for restores. Hope that helps.

[Veritas-bu] Netbackup 7.5 Operational Restore or Search Hold ??????
All I’ve been doing deep dive in NetBackup 7.5 and the benefits involved. One of the greatest enhancements with this release is Opscenter and the role it is going to play in the future restores Netbackup Opscenter 7.5 comes for free and the comes with the FREE feature of “operational restore” Operational restore allows searching files acorss multiple Netbackup domains (master servers) and does not need any special licensing and\or hardware. I also read in great depth about Netbackup 7.5 “Search and Hold” This can also search files across the multiple NetBackup domain (master servers). However this has following requirements Search and Hold License to activate the same in opscenter Separate Index server (new role with Netabckup 7.5) My question is why should an organization consider investing in search and hold license and buying expensive hardware for the index server when the same can be furnished by the operational restore feature ? ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Few important points to be considered When backing up to the DD device make sure you explicitly set maximum concurrent jobs not more then 150/- (MAX is 180) While adding the ndmp host to netbackup 7.1 try using command prompt instead of GUI for some reason it was not working with GUI in my case Best regards Anurag Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2012 18:53:36 -0600 From: da...@stanaway.net To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP Backups on DataDomain. You can do NDMP backups to OST via LAN transport to the media server. All you need to do is setup your ndmp credentials in NBU and on your NAS device. At least this worked for me with a VNX-File NDMP backup. If you want to transport NDMP backups via SAN to the DATADOMAIN, then you would need the VTL license/HBA on the datadomain.

Subject: BLAT statement would not send e-mails for status 1
Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2011 06:03:30 +0530
Hi All,
I have successfully configured BLAT with nbmail. This is has led to lot of
email for the jobs completing with status code1.
Is there anyway to configure BLAT in such a manner so that it would not send
email for status 1 partially successful backups.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup (Virtualized Master Media Servers)
Guys, Best would be created a cluster active passive for NBU MASTER Keep your physical machine as passive so that it can take over in worst case scenarios.

The master is a physical server. Two things I can immediately think of: Resource contention of the VMs and any features that move the VMs around to optimize resources (VMware does this with Distributed Resource Scheduler [DRS]). Unless it’s a pretty small domain, and there isn’t a need to virtualize, I would opt for physical servers. Maybe I’m just a traditionalist. -Rusty From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of brian_tho...@playstation.sony.com Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2011 5:38 PM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup (Virtualized Master Media Servers) I work for Sony Playstation and we are moving a racked stand-alone Master Media server configuration to a new data center.

Re: [Veritas-bu] VMware5 and NetBackup 7.0
Simon, Netbackup would add the support of Vcenter 5 soon. Howerver for ESX 5 we would have to wait for netbackup 7.5 We were also about to go Netbackup VMware agent based backups however had to drop it at last due to compatibility concerns.

[Veritas-bu] Unable to browse NBU Directories
Hi All, I'm new to Netbackup and Solaris. I have set up a test enviorment Solaris X86 and NBU 6.5 I logged in as root and sucessfully installed NBU. If I go through the GUI of solaris and lauch jnbSA it works fine. However If I open terminal and try to go to nbu directories like /usr/openv/ or /usr/openv/volmgr I get a message directory does not exist, same happens with /opt/openv/ I need to be a able to run commands as I know netbackup some commands like bpps bpimagelist vmoprcmd -reset cant be run from GUI. Again I'm new so please pardon me for my mistakes.

Re: [Veritas-bu] exclude_list - exclude core file but not core directory
Dave, To exclude all files with a given name, regardless of their directory path, just enter the name without a preceding slash. For example: example rather than /example Here is an example *exclude_list* --- # this is a comment line /tmp/example/dir/all /tmp/example/dir2only/ /usr/home/*/all_tmp /*/all_temp core -- Anurag Date: Sun, 28 Aug 2011 19:31:28 -0500 From: da...@graniteweb.com To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] exclude_list - exclude core file but not core directory Hello, I'm dealing with exclude_list for the umteenth time, and stumbled into a classic problem. The examples in the docs have always shown excluding core, which excludes all core files AND core directories. Because of how you define things, it is possible to exclude just directories by appending / (e.g., core/), but there is no corresponding way that I can find to exclude ONLY files named core. I can more or less accomplish what I need to by using an include_list that contains core/, but this will obviously add processing overhead because it's going to build the initial list, drop excluded stuff, then go back through all the excluded directories and look for all directories named core. I especially don't want the include list to go back and re-add any core directories under other directories that I have also excluded. For example: exclude_list: core /dev /sys /mnt/auto /var/mqm/ /u[0-9]*/ If I have an include_list that looks like this: core/ It will pick up any directories named core under: /dev /sys /mnt/auto /var/mqm/ /u[0-9]*/ Which I do NOT want it to do. Does anyone know if it's possible to define JUST files named core in the exclude_list, so that an include_list is not necessary? If an include_list is the only way to do it, is it possible to avoid the re-adding under the directories I _do_ want to exclude?
