Re: [Veritas-bu] VMWAre slow performance

[Mian71]

Hello

First thing I would do was to measure disk read speed and network throughput 
outside netbackup to know what speed to expect.

There has been a limitation at about 220 MB/s on vadp in the vmware kernel 
earlier in 5.0, don't know if 5.5 has something similar

One thing I seen have speed VMWARE backup greatly, is increasing the raw buffer 
size to the recomended size (1 MB back in 5.0)

Changing number and size of buffers on the media servers can also improve the 
speed, if it is not near the lowest of the ones measured outside netbackup

Regards
Michael

Re: [Veritas-bu] older version issue.... netbackup 6.5.6

[Mian71]

Hello Sid

Have you tried to use EBU which it is the RMAN for Oracle 7.3.4
It did work with netbackup libobk back in NetBackup 3.4

NetApp should be able to create snapshots the volume, at least it could when I 
worked with it.

For the bpbackup issue, it could be related to the user if you are not running 
as root

Michael

 Hello,
 I have a problem with netbackup 6.5.6 running on hp-ux (pa-risc) 11.11 
 (running oracle 7.3.4)
 
 I am aware that almost everything I've jsut described is old and unsupported, 
 and please don't suggest upgrading, unfortunately this is not possible.
 
 Background (kind of long-winded, but I want to tell you as much as I can to 
 forestall  unrelated questions):
 I have a database that is currently running on an EMC cx3-80 backend. It is 
 being backed up via snapshots which are then mounted on another hp-ux 11.11 
 system running netbackup 6.5. The database files (snapshot) are then backed 
 up using a standard filesystem-type backup scheduled through the normal 
 netbackup policies, etc. (oh - btw - the netbackup master server is 7.6.1)
 This all works reasonably well.
 
 We need to junk the cx3-80 in favor of a NetApp. The NetApp will not do the 
 same snapshotting that the cx does, so generally we have moved most of our 
 databases to RMAN backups, which is working pretty well.
 
 However we can't run rman on the 7.3.4 database, and we can't go past 6.5.6 
 on hp-ux 11. 
 
 So the plan is to go to hot backup for this one database.
 
 We have all sorts of hot backup scripts that we have run over the years and 
 all work well, except in this case. I've burrowed down to the problem being 
 that the bpbackup command, which is being called directly from the hot backup 
 script, is returning a 
 EXIT STATUS 29: failed trying to exec a command.
 
 We've chased this a bit. I've run bp' to backup some files and that works 
 fine. I've captured the arguments that bp uses to call bpbackup and tried to 
 use the exact same command and arguments calling bpbackup directly. bp works, 
 bpbackup does not, even though they are running the exact same bpbackup 
 command.
 
 I've tried the bpbackup command on various other systems: aix 7.2, hp-ux 
 11.31 - all work correctly. It is only on hp-ux 11.11 and 11.0 that I'm 
 seeing the problem.
 
 symantec says error 29 indicates a permission and/or resource problem. 
 Obviously that is not the case if bp calling bpbackup works and calling 
 bpbackup directly does not. There is something else going on.
 
 btw - the command I'm trying is bpbackup  -S herhxp03 /etc/passwd - I don't 
 think I can get much more basic that that.
 
 I'm hoping that someone who has been around netbackup for a while might have 
 some thoughts of either things to try or places to look or something!
 
 Help!
 Thanks

Seems that you have the bpbackup inside the loop of databases, think bpbackup 
should be moved to after the done clause

Re: [Veritas-bu] remote ndmp on Netbackup 7.5.0.5

[mian71]

Hello Steve

Think you need a ndmp login from the media server to the EMC NAS unit like when 
doing direct NDMP backups.

If I remember correctly it goes something like
1. Create the ndmp login on the NAS unit
2. Set up the ndmp login credentials in netbackup
3. Set up a ndmp storage unit, this might not apply for a remote ndmp backup
4. Set up ndmp policy with relevant storage unit
5. Run backup

Hope this helps you

 All:
 Our environment, HP-UX 11-31 currently running master / media server on 
 NetBackup 6.5.2.  (I know, 6.5 is getting old, we are trying to plan an 
 upgrade.)  We are running mostly unix / Linux backups and a couple windows 
 b/u’s thrown in for good measure.
 I’m trying to set up a new media server running on Redhat Linux using an 
 older Overland LXB tape library.  The robot is at a remote site so I don’t 
 have physical access to it and there isn’t a web interface for the robot 
 which makes this a bit more difficult to work on.  The robot and drive shows 
 up in the Device Monitor window but the drive is in AVR mode.  When I run the 
 Configure Storage Devices the robot and drive are discovered but the drive is 
 in standalone mode.  I tried dragging the drive up to the robot when 
 configuring it but that didn’t take care of the problem.  NetBackup can see 
 the robot and one drive when I run a /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/scan on it but 
 under the robot information it is missing any entries indicating that the 
 robot knows about the drive.  Below is the o/p of the scan on the Overland 
 robot and then on a different robot on another media server that works:

 Should there be entries for the Drives and Serial numbers in the Overland

 are welcomed.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup job gets to mounting tape but never to position

[mian71]

Hello Dennis

Could be a problem with the EF0997 tape, unless of cause the clients is backing 
up to this tape too

Might it worth trying to freeze this tape as a test

Regards
Michael

 and it sits there foreveruntil the job fails. This has been a working 
 environment and there are 2 clients that backup to this master server/media 
 server. It just doesn't like backing itself up.
 
 Any ideas?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Redo Logs code 6

[mian71]

Hello Simon

See two possibilties, do a log switch in the start of the backup or a check 
which changes the exit code to zero if there is no logs to backup

Regards
Michael

 All
 Just more curious if anyone knows of a workaround to this?
 I do alot of SAP Online / Offline and REDO logs.
 When there are no REDO logs to perform, the backup ends with Status 6. - 
 which is then flagged up as a failed job.
 Under 7.5, is there anything I could look at, or propose we can amend to 
 allow the SAP JOBS for REDO logs to end in a 0 or 1 status code, even if 
 there are no files to backup?
  
 Any ideas?
 Thanks, Simon
