Re: [Veritas-bu] VTL images to tape
Title: Message Hi, Sorry for the late reply (trying to catch up). I have a customer using an HP VTL with NBU 5.1 and NBU Vault without any (major) problems. From what has been discussed here, VTLs work in 2 ways: The VTL sits in front of the actual Library and clones the tapes that are in the physical lib. NBU sees only the VTL. All backups are done on the VTL and it copies the data to the physical tapes. The VTL is in the configuration as a separate library. Backups are done on the VTL and Vaulting (or a script) duplicates the data to the physical tapes.

As a result of customer satisfaction surveys and feedback collected from various customer channels we are building a more robust self-service experience for you, our enterprise support customers. The first, and most visible, part of this new experience is the introduction of an entirely new search engine designed to bring you the right answer faster and more reliably than ever before. This new search engine is based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology. Unlike an imprecise keyword search engine, our new NLP works best when it has more details. For example, in the past, a search for drivers might have yielded a range of documents related to the download, installation, update, or driver related errors on a target system. There were too many results, and the required document may have been far down the list, requiring valuable time and effort scanning results. With the new search engine, you are free to ask for exactly what you want and limit the results to only those that matter. For example, if you are looking to download drivers ask Where can I download tape device drivers for Backup Exec version 10? and get just a few very specific documents in return. As mentioned above, our new search is a Natural Language Processing search engine and works better with questions or phrases than with a keyword style search. Providing more words is better, and questions or multiple keywords will elicit better results than one or two key words.For further tips please click on the Search Tips link on the Enterprise Support landing page.In the end, our mission is to deliver the right answer as the top result for your specific question. Your issue - your words - your answer. Quick and painless problem resolution at a pace we expect will set a new industry standard.On behalf of the Engineers and Management at Symantec Corporation, thank you again for your loyalty and patience as we undertake this ambitious project.

Look at the Streams file.
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/{machine

Look at the streams list for the Monthly policy (it will be
different than the other policy).
I will be that there is a U:\ drive listed in the file for
the Monthly. If it was ever backed up, it will show the date/time (in
utime) of the backup.
You can edit the file and cut the line out (with the U:\
file).
You can also delete the STREAMS fileand it will be
rebuilt during the next schedule. HOWEVER, the streams file is where the
date/time of the last successful backup is contained. If you remove it,
you don't have a record of the last backups, therefore, you will get a new set
of fulls and monthly's, and yearly's...
I have been using the STREAMS file to script what and when
certain file systems were backed up. There is a ton of info in
there.

Hi

am working late, and just noticed something
odd!!
I
have a client in 2 policies (one policy is month end, running now and the other
policy in a Full and Incr).
Now the policy is set for ALL LOCAL DRIVES for the
client.
Now, when the Incr and Full Policy runs for this client, its
great, returns status 0!
However, for a Month End Policy, same settings (using ALL LOCAL
DRIVES), I just got a status 71 files dont
exist.
checked what Activity Monitor shows, and for some reason, it
thinks the client has a "U:" Drive.
Logged onto the client, and it
doesnt!
Yet, if I run the client in
its other policy, it doesnt even see a U: Drive - Only in the Month
end!
Any ideas? there is around 30 clients in this policy,
but only this one client causing a problem!

RE: [Veritas-bu] Cold Catalog Backup
Title: Message Hi All, From what i understand, what Veritas refers to as the Cold DB Backup in 6.0 is actually the Catalog backup as id was done in previous versions on NBU. The new Online option allows for catalog backup to run even when regular backups are running, and even better to run incrementals on the catalog, speeding up the process even more. Regarding COLD Catalog Backups. = If you are using a standalone drive for your catalog backup, you just inster a blank tape in the drive and you are ready. NBU will always assume that this tape is A0 (unless it is already labeled by NBU as something else) If you are using a robot, you need to write a script to change the tape the catalog uses.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Examples of SSO vm.conf files
Hi. I think there is a mixup here. Do you want to share all drives or just split half of the drives to each media server? SSO drives have to have the same name If you want to share all drives , you have to do the following: 1. Delete all Netbackup entries of all drives on all Master/media Servers. 2. Configure the drives on the first Media server (it might be the master, no problem) using names that refer to the Library , not the server. The simplest way is to run : /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tpautoconf -set_gdbhost Master_server /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tpautoconf -a 3. After you finish the configuration of the drives, by running a vmoprcmd command on that server see entries like: PENDING REQUESTS NONE DRIVE STATUS Drv Type Control User Label RecMID ExtMID Ready Wr.Enbl. ReqId 0 hcart2 TLD- No - - 1 hcart2 TLD- No - - 2 hcart2 TLD- No - - 3 hcart2 TLD- No - - ADDITIONAL DRIVE STATUS Drv DriveNameSharedAssignedComment 0 LIBA_LTO-1 No - 1 LIBA_LTO-2 No - 2 LIBA_LTO-3 No - 3 LIBA_LTO-4 No - 4. From the Java Admin.Console do the following (Note: If you have a Window Admin Console, all this stuff is much easier, since the Windows Console allows browsing for devices, while Java does not. In Java you have to know the expact paths for the drives) Run the Device Configuration Wizard (Recommended by Veritas). In the list with the hosts there should be the first server. Add the rest of them. By clicking throuout the rest of the wizard you should, at the end, have automatically have all drives as shared on all servers. If you run vmoprcmd again the Shared status should have changed from No to Yes. Be sure to have installed an SSO key on each of your servers involved before running the wizard. From this point on you have to define storage units for each media server. If you don't want servers to use all available drive, set the Max concurrent drives option to the desired amount (If you have 4 drives and want each server to use 2, put 2). This means that the servers will use 2 drives max (Note: not 2 specific drives, any 2 drives available). It is also possible to run steps 1 and 4 only. You can try this first. Usually, the only setback you have is that Netbackup gives the Drive names. You have to change the names later on to your desired names. That why I run usually configure the drives first on the robot controller and then run the wizard Sorry for being too detailed.

Both the master and media servers are in each other's bp.conf file. I have a single robot with 4 drives in it. The drives are all visible on both of the servers. I've renamed the drives accessed from the media server differently from their corresponding device names on the master server. I used tpconfig on each server to assign the drives to Robot 0. In the Device Monitor in NetBackup java gui, I see 8 shared drives. All 4 drives are in use; 2 on drives defined on the Master and the other 2 on the drives defined on the media server. Here's sort of what it looks like MasterDrive1= TLD ; MediaDrive1 = PEND-TLD MasterDrive2= DOWN-TLD ; MediaDrive2 = TLD MasterDrive3= DOWN-TLD ; MediaDrive3 = TLD MasterDrive4= TLD ; MediaDrive4 = PEND-TLD Error messages on my media server indicates RESERVATION CONFLICT for 2 scsi devices (probably the MasterDrive[23] indicated above). My duplications are running at fair speeds, but there's not been a need for a tape dismount/remount for tapes in use by my media server. The reason I had thought there might be a need for individual vm.conf files is because the NB51 Media Manager Guide indicates about 4 SSO settings for the vm.conf and I was wondering about whether or not the Master and Media servers should contain the same entries, and I don't even have a vm.conf file on my Media server. Anyway, I can't do any more work on the tpconfig stuff because my peak backup windows just opened. I'll do some more tweaking tomorrow if the media server RESERVATION CONFLICTS don't down all of the drives.

Take what works and pitch the rest... I would build out the new master with a different name to start with. That way you can get it on the network and transfer the appropriate data from the old to the new. NBU is nice in that all of the executables and libraries are contained within the base dir. Install NBU in the new host (mostly for the package info database - if you want it). Remove the contents on the new host leaving the base dir. Share out /usr/openv on the old. Mount it on the new and use cpio or tar to copy over the files within /usr/openv. Make sure you get the rc scripts properly placed on the new master. Take the old master to single-user and change the host name. Drop it to the ok prompt. Change the host name on the new master and reboot it. You will need to manually configure your devices.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Duplication job killing NB Catalog job
I've come across step2. Weird bug!! Jim -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eagle, Kent Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 4:16 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Duplication job killing NB Catalog job Greetings, Windoze 2K3 Master 2 Media servers, NetBackup 5.1MP3 SSO, ADIC I2000 fiber LTO2. I have 2 interrelated questions: 1. We have 2 clients being backed up to the same DSU. The clients reside in independent policies, but are often running concurrently, for at least part of their active time. We have a duplication job we've set up as a vault profile to duplicate the images to tapes. The profile is currently being launched manually by an operator when they see both jobs have completed. I would like to automate this process, but can't find any verbose notes on bpend_notify.bat, which I think will do what I want? (P.S. - Windoze isn't my choice: I'm fairly familiar with batch files not afraid of the CLI ;-) 2. Other backups are running and completing while the process above is transpiring. We've noticed that if all other jobs but the duplication process have completed, NetBackup will attempt to run a catalog backup. This results in a failure of the catalog backup with a 124 error which says the one of directories was not available for backup. My guess is it's one of the Master Servers catalog paths as it's still running the duplication process. Manually running the catalog after this scenario is always successful. If the duplication process and all other jobs have completed the catalog backup is always successful. Is there a way to have NetBackup treat the duplication step like a regular backup job so it will not attempt a catalog backup during the dup? I can't figure out why NB thinks the schema is quiesed when this process is still running? We could try to script it to run after the duplication process, but the duplication process wouldn't necessarily always be the last job to run (due to growth, we might have other backups still running after duplication has completed).

RE: [Veritas-bu] Media Experation
Hi. Don't use the vmquery -deassignbyid command. It will only cause you headaches. When using this command, the tapes are not cleaned up correctly (see http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/241574.htm). When you want ot expire tape always use the bpexpdate command. Only if this fails should you use vmquery -deassignbyid . I would suggest that you print all tapes assigned to all media servers seperatly (use bpmedialist -h mediaserver). Check to see if you have tape that show up on different servers. I had a customer that used vmquery -deassignbyid , and he ended up having tapes assing to multiple media servers.

I have 2 masters, one is 4.5 and the other is 5.1. We are using STK 9310 with the first master and added the second master when 5.1 came out. We designed a tape range of 10 19 to the 4.5 master and 50 59 to the 5.1 master. In order to stop one master from inventorying the tape range of the other master, we are using INVENTORY_FILTER. To use this, you need to put your tape range into a pool within your library. Since we started with 1 master and added the second, we did not define pools for the tapes in ACS, therefore all 10 range tape took the default pool of 1. When the second master was added, after the tapes are loaded into the library (the 50 range), I ran this command in ACS to put the 50 range tapes into a pool called 50. set scratch 50 50-500999. You will have to do this every time you add new tapes. In NetBackup, you need to add the following line to vm.conf: INVENTORY_FILTER = ACS 1 BY_ACS_POOL 50 I have ACS 1 and the using pool 50 for the second master. You need to add this to both masters but change the pool number. Recycle your NetBackup and do an inventory check and you should be good to go. One other thing. A bug. If you are running NetBackup Administrator Console on your Windows desktop and you do an inventory, the output will show ALL of the tapes. The reason is because the NetBackup Administrator Console does not have the vm.conf on your desktop and therefore, does not know that you are filtering. You need to run either jnbSA from the master server or run the Java Console instead.

We had problems with 4.5 but with 5.x no problem at all.But this is more personal (and customer) decision. For the migration, don't go through importing. Just copy the /netbackup/db and /volmgr/database directories (exclude the ltidevs robotic_def and globdb) Also DON'T copy the var folder (the license keys are bundle with the server name so if you copy the var folder netbackup will not come up). Take care for any link you may have inside the db folder (images perhaps) and any disk storage unit you may have (for space reasons). Run the ./volmgr/bin/vmglob -set_gdbhost $newmastername And the device configuration wizard only for the master server. Restart netbackup. Any other media server you may have will register the drives himself after some time. (but will be ready for backups immediately) Then run the command bpmedia -newserve $newmastername -oldserver $oldmastername After that the new master server is ready for use. Tip. Install the new master server with a virtual name and a different ip than the server name and ip. This will help any migration in the future. If you do this you must put the original server name to the netbackup server list of all systems and to put the cluster_name = $virtualname to the vm.conf file of the master server (This is equivalent to one node cluster installation and helps to migrate muster server between systems eliminating the name problem) stefanos -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Dobbs Sent: Saturday, November 05, 2005 12:30 AM To: Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] migration to a new server Greetings, all.

RE: [Veritas-bu] LTO2 tape label
Hi, Just define barcode rules to ensure that new tapes (with the L1 suffix) will be defined as hcart2 media. Just be sure that you do not have overlapping barcodes (AL1-AL1 and A0L2-A9L2) because NBU uses (when properly defined) the first 6 chars, so A0L1 will be labeled as A0. When you put A0L2 in the library, you will get the error media not unique in database Many robots also have the functionality to report a given number of chars, but this might be dangerous if you have overlapping barcodes. If you put A0L1 in the lib, it will report to NBU A0. So if you put A0L2 in, then it will think it is the A0(L1) tape. Big mess!!!

RE: [Veritas-bu] WRN - can't open file: C:\_vxfiVspCacheFile_0.VS P (WIN32 32: Unknown error)
Hi all, look for AV software installed on the systems. If installed , exclude the scanning of vsp files (If not possible, try to stop the AV service during backup, this will also speed up the backup anyway). When a backup is run, after it finishes it tries to delete the vsp file. Many AV agents don't allow this action (something to do with the size of the file), leaving the vsp file in an orphaned state. This file cannot be deleted except when rebooted. When a new backup begins, a new vsp file is created which most probably tries to backup the old vsp file (which is locked, hence the error). 9 out of 10 it's AV.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Client same Domain as Media?
The only thing you need is to verify connectivity. In case of firewall, look for port ranges or in case of vnetd the specific ports needed (bpcd, vmd, vnetd,robotic etc). Usually you should also put required entriesin the host file of all involved systems because DNS is not always good to rely on.

We will be implementing two Windows Media servers. Our current environment is Unix Master backing up Windows clients ina seperatedomain. Are there any precautions to having the Windows Media Servers (with Unix Master) in a different domain than the client? Anything to watch out for?

RE: [Veritas-bu] Exchange backups agent question
Title: Exchange backups agent question Hi Greg. From what I have seen, it backs up the entire DB. I had a customer who have expanded his db by 50GB by mistake and he had to run a tool on the exchange to reduce the size. Until he did that, NBU backed up all the data. Regards, Jim Peppas From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hindle, GregSent: Tuesday, November 08, 2005 8:55 PMTo: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.eduSubject: [Veritas-bu] Exchange backups agent question Nb 5.0 mp3 Solaris 9 When the exchange backup runs and it logs in the exchange server do to the mailbox backup does it backup just the mailboxes or does it backup the entire db with the dead space in between the emails and mailboxes? Basically when you have a db and all the files/records are all contiguous there is no slack or dead space in between records. But if you were to delete one or two records then you would have empty or slack space in between some records. My question is does the exchange agent back just the data records leaving the slack space alone or does it backup the entire db including the slack space. I hope this is explained clearly enough so you know what I am trying to ask.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup, Media manager, and client version problem....
Hi. Is the last patch you have added FP6? If so, FP6 is an install patch (not actual upgrade) and does not touch the pack.summary file. When you upgrade a master server you have to install also the CLT patch. So to go to FP9 you have to run the following patches: NB_45_9_F_279431.SOLARIS.TAR NB_CLT_45_9_F_279434.TAR You also might need to apply any special patches.
