[Veritas-bu] Logs stripping
Hi, We're just putting in a new NBU 7 installation and going OK so far J But we have a prerequisite that we cannot send any IP addresses or server names in any info we have to send to support - so was wondering if any one has any scripts that will strip these out of the log files? We're running on Solaris.

[Veritas-bu] Library
Hi, Just after a few opinions. I've been asked to put in a new SAN with NBU from scratch. The library's a fairly hefty box, a sun SL3000. It's only got 2 fibre drives at the moment for testing but will have several more going live. I was wondering what would be the best way to go connectivity wise - all going through 1 switch, 2 switches on 1 fabric or a switch on both fabrics?

[Veritas-bu] SQL Backup checking
Hi, This is probably very simple but not having done it before I thought I'd ask the experts :-) We've got a windows infrastructure running nbu 6. All we backup is flat files, with a mix of network, VSS and clariion scripted snapshots. Our SQL servers run their own backups to backup drives and then we back them off. Up to know it's just been a scheduled NBU job but the SQL databases have grown and now the backups overlap. Rather than just move the backup later, thought I'd ask if there's something cleverer we can do to check if the SQL backups have finished? Something ina bpstart script ?

[Veritas-bu] Licensing Question
Hi , I'm hoping someone can verify a license question. We're setting up an environment with Vmware - several esx machines , 2 w2k media/vcb servers and a windows master cluster ( 6.5.3) Symantec have said we need an enterprise license per esx machine, and I'm just wondering why! If it's vcb doing the work, and we're communicating just through 1 VC server I would have thought at mose 3, one per vcb and maybe 1 for the VC . How are you guys licensing it?

[Veritas-bu] Shared drive problem
Hi, Hoping someone can help me. We've got a new system recently put in, its been fine until recently - had to reboot the media servers and have had a problem since then. We've got an AIX master ( no tapes) a W2K3 Media ( also a VCB server) and an AIX media server , all with NBU 6.5.2a installed. After rebooting the first media server to run gets a tape drive no problem and subsequent jobs run ok. On the other media server the first job sits there with a status of 'waiting for shared tape drive scan to stop' Any ideas?

[Veritas-bu] Vmare vcb
Just getting to grips with vmware/vcb/nbu (6.5.2) and setting up some test policies - we're backing up through the vc server and have the requirement on one of the backups to exclude the D: drive on a vmware system. Now they don't show up as normal clienst so cant do theexcludes that way, so thought ok, create a policy with specific drives rather than all local, but there doesn't seem to be that option - does anyone know how I can exclude a prticular drive on a vmware client/vcb backup?

[Veritas-bu] Non Cluster failover
Hi, As part of my first forays into NBU , as well as trying to get VCB working :-) I'm also trying to set up failover. Trouble is for this system, our day-to-day support team have specified they do not want a clustered master. Not being that experienced in NBU or AIX it's a nice big learning curve for me :-) We'll be running AIX and NBU 6.5 so I was thinking maybe have /usr/openv as it's own LUN on the primary master and a /usr/openv LUN on the secondary . Install on the primary and install on the secondary . Then stop the services on the secondary , and set up a mirror from the primary, overwriting the secondary ( we'll be using DS8K's metro-mirroring) then in a dr, remount the secondary . Would this work and what configs changes would be required eg to get emmserver working etc The set up will be two sites, AIX with a media server in both sites , and possibly a w2k3 media server in both sites too , master at one and failover master at the other This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.

Re: [Veritas-bu] VCB - Fail to get VM server Info
Hi Jonathan , what version of NBU were you using ? According to the docs on what's new in 6.5.2 it says :- Connect using port number Unless the port number was changed on the VMware server, no port specification is required. If the Connect using port number box is checked, deselect it. VMware Consolidated Backup software determines the port. From: Martin, Jonathan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25 July 2008 12:28 To: Matthews, Gary (GSD UK Production Services business); veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] VCB - Fail to get VM server Info I got a similar error and had to call Symantec for support. Are you looking for a VM Host or the Virtual Center? If you are pointing to the Virtual Center you have to change the port under Credentials -- Virtuaql Machine Servers to port 443 to connect. The default 902 is only for communication with virtual hosts.
