Before the catalog restore, did your master see itself as a FQDN
(pbcobk01.intersil.com vs short name of PBCOBK01) ? Do you use the FQDN
when the master/media servers are registered ?

The only errors are for the device manager after the restore and only
for one day.  I expected those as we don't have any libraries or drives
connected to the new system.

That's what we thought also, but why then would it work just fine before
the catalog recovery?

 

I do have a hosts file entry for the system.

 

Currently it is off the network so nslookup is not working, but even
when it was on the network and name resolution was working fine the
issue was still there.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] cold catalog recovery

 

We are trying to upgrade our NBU hardware and OS and are running into
some issues that seem related to doing a cold catalog recovery and name
resolution.

Current setup:

Windows 2003 x86 SP2

NBU 6.5.6

New setup:

Windows 2008 x64 SP2

NBU 6.5.6

Current server and new server are configured with the same name and ip
address.

ISSUE:

We can do a cold catalog backup and restore just fine but have a serious
issue in the end.  After both successes if we open the Activity Monitor
we get an error - Not connected, check if services are up.

All service are up.

bpjobsd log shows

2 job_connect: Can't connect automatically to client pbcobk01 status =
25 err = 10061

2 job_connect: Can't connect to client pbcobk01

16 main: Can't connect to pbcobk01 (46)

We did a complete system rebuild, installed NBU 6.5.6, and configured to
write to disk.  Test backup ran and Activity Monitor worked fine.  Did
the catalog recovery and the issue came back.

I did some bpclntcmd tests and they all come back with the correct name
but the IP shows as 127.0.0.1.  I added the hostname and real IP to the
hosts file with no luck.

I tried the following tests:

bpclntcmd -pn = correct short name with 127.0.0.1

bpclntcmd -self = correct short name with 127.0.0.1

bpclntcmd -hn pbcobk01 = correct short name with 127.0.0.1

bpclntcmd -ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = correct host and xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx for ip
address

If I do these test on the current server they come back with the actual
IP of the system.

It is a standard system build.  I did the build and did not change
anything to do with DNS

 

Firewall is also turned off.  I tried with the firewall service disabled
and after a reboot and the error still exists.

It could just be down to the way your host is configured to lookup names

 

Is this a standard windows build or a bespoke build created by your sys

They could have changed the way the build resolves hostnames as a

The old system is still up as that was our fallback option.

 

We don't have a spare drive in our lab to use for a hot catalog backup
test, at least not yet.  That was our next option, but we would need
downtime again to do the catalog backup/restore.

client = master.  We first saw the issue when we replaced the master
server and had it on the production network.

 

We reverted to the old server to keep things going while I brought the
new hardware back to a lab and rebuilt the OS.  I installed NBU and was
able to configure it up and get things going.  I then did a catalog
recover and the problem came back.

 

The problem exists when connected to the production network in the same
configuration as the old setup and also in the lab with the server
standalone.

Hi,

 

Does the D/R site have the same master, media servers as the source
site?

Does the master at the D/R site have network connectivity to the media
servers and clients?

If it has the same hostname as the other server, how will the client
know which master server it is talking to?

Or is the client in this case the master?

 

Some screenshots or more logs of what is failing may be helpful.

Bpbrm logs from the master, bpcd from the master, job details, etc.

What seems to stick out, is the target OS is 64bit (vs the original
32bit OS)  and the problem only shows up after a good catalog
restore

[Veritas-bu] cold catalog recovery

2012-03-15 Thread Infantino, Joe (Contractor)
We are trying to upgrade our NBU hardware and OS and are running into
some issues that seem related to doing a cold catalog recovery and name
resolution.

Current setup:
Windows 2003 x86 SP2
NBU 6.5.6

New setup:
Windows 2008 x64 SP2
NBU 6.5.6

Current server and new server are configured with the same name and ip
address.

ISSUE:
We can do a cold catalog backup and restore just fine but have a serious
issue in the end.  After both successes if we open the Activity Monitor
we get an error - Not connected, check if services are up.

All service are up.

bpjobsd log shows

2 job_connect: Can't connect automatically to client pbcobk01 status =
25 err = 10061
2 job_connect: Can't connect to client pbcobk01
16 main: Can't connect to pbcobk01 (46)

We did a complete system rebuild, installed NBU 6.5.6, and configured to
write to disk.  Test backup ran and Activity Monitor worked fine.  Did
the catalog recovery and the issue came back.

I did some bpclntcmd tests and they all come back with the correct name
but the IP shows as 127.0.0.1.  I added the hostname and real IP to the
hosts file with no luck.

I tried the following tests:
bpclntcmd -pn = correct short name with 127.0.0.1
bpclntcmd -self = correct short name with 127.0.0.1
bpclntcmd -hn pbcobk01 = correct short name with 127.0.0.1
bpclntcmd -ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = correct host and xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx for ip
address

If I do these test on the current server they come back with the actual
IP of the system.  

TIA

Re: [Veritas-bu] Backing up Exchange 2010

Howard,

At my last job we were doing the same thing and did NOT change any
system accounts used by NBU.

 

Backups and restores worked fine.

 

Thank you,

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backing up Exchange 2010

 

I've read some conflicting information on this and wondered if y'all can
help.  We're running Exchange 2010 with a DAG and we're not using the
granular backup/restore option within Netbackup.  It's my understand
that since we are not using granular backups/restores, then we do NOT
need to modify the system account used by Netbackup. 

 

Is this true??


Thanks,

Howard

[Veritas-bu] SharePoint GRT restores

2011-08-30 Thread Infantino, Joe (Contractor)
I am looking to see if anyone has this configuration working for
SharePoint GRT restores

Master - Windows 2003 SP2
NBU 7.1
SP Server - Windows 2003 R2 SP2
NBU 6.5.6
SQL Server - Windows 2003 R2 SP2
NBU 6.5.6

We cannot upgrade the clients to 7.1 because we are currently backing up
the OS and SQL db in a production 6.5.6 environment, but have a 7.1 test
environment setup to test the GRT functionality.  This means the client
is actually multi-mastered :-)

*   Backups work without issue.
*   Attempts to restore a single, deleted file from a SP site works
fine.
*   Attempts to restore a deleted list have issues.  We thought we
were home free by creating the parent list folder and then attempting
the restore of the files as this produces a Status 0 for the restore,
but no files are actually restored or are restored to a different
location that I cannot find.

TIA

Re: [Veritas-bu] Tape Library

2011-08-02 Thread Infantino, Joe (Contractor)
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,

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
