Re: [Veritas-bu] catalog backups. NBU 6.0 MP3
Greetings, Got an e-mail reply suggesting I change to hot catalog backups. Hot catalog backups are what we use throughout the enterprise so this was a timely suggestion. In addition to hot catalog backups, we upgraded to 6.0MP4. A couple of articles I found mentioned a potential memory leak in MP3. As of yesterday afternoon, the patch upgrade and change to hot backups seem to have solved the problem of the machine grinding to a halt. Thanks to Daniel for his suggestion and for his reply.

NBU 6.0 MP3 Greetings, I'm a little behind the 8-ball on this one but while I pursue other options, I wanted to ask the question here. I have an installation of NBU 6.0 MP3 in a remote office. For some time now, catalog backups have been taking a very long time to run and while they run, the machine (a Sun V240) slowly grinds to a halt. So much so that basic stuff won't run (like cputst). About the only hint of anything in the system log file is the failure of cputst to run. Nov 6 04:59:25 admin2 Could not start CPU test program: \ /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/sparcv9+vis2/cputst Nov 6 04:59:25 admin2 System call fork() failed. Reason: \ Resource temporarily unavailable Syslog continues to run though :) Things I've looked at include the system file configuration (looks OK). The machine was more than a little shy of physical memory and that's been fixed too. I'm told this has been the case for a while now. In the past, it would take several hours to do the catalog backup and now it never appears to finish. Looking at the logs, we find: vxlogview -p NB -d all -X 96660 /tmp/96660.out V-1-1-12 There are no records to be displayed. V-1-1-13 NOTE: There were 5 corrupted log records. I'm told that there's no db checking utility in 6.0 and I'm wondering if this isn't a problem with the catalog database. Anyway, any pointers, tips, bad jokes, etc. would be greatly appreciated. ian -- IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.

Be thankful you are not calling Microsoft. Who will pawn you between different groups whilst they try and solve your problem...and of course, each time you get shuffled off, it's to the end of the line :) I would politely point out that the problem is the same. You are still not able to get a reliable backup. I might ask for his boss but not before asking to escalate the original case.

My DBA Runs this by Oracle and they agree so we make the configuration change, run the backup, and then that restore hangs after restoring the control files.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Anyone successfully implemented VXSS?
I would agree it is painful. Not to mention you probably don't want to install it on the master server lest it hoark your configuration files (I am running on Solaris 10). There's also no way to use NIS (or the support folks are not aware of how to do it). So you effectively need to create accounts for each user you want to have access. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2007 9:36 AM To: Justin Piszcz Cc: Kyle Oliver; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Anyone successfully implemented VXSS? I am currently in the process of testing VXSS, and it is somewhat painful. I have it setup and working correctly with most default settings. In permissions of the user groups you cannot select just to allow a group to restart and resume jobs from activity monitor. You have to select everything under Operate and cannot select individual permissions under that. I have tried to setup custom permissions sets, they appear to be correct but I am unable to use them. There are also about 5 different documents about setting up VXSS on the Symantec support site, each varying slightly. I have it running on a solaris 9 master and have aix and windows media all working with vxss, if I could figure out a way to define custom permission sets this would be great product. Jared M.
