Re: [Veritas-bu] Question Regarding Linux 2.6 kernel udev rules for tape devices
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The option in the vm.conf ENABLE_AUTO_PATH_CORRECTION will take care of what you need between reboots as it has reconfigured without issue for me with a 2.6 AMD64 kernel for more that 2 years. So if all underlying drivers and SANs have been configured correctly, then a /dev/nst# set of character devices have been created. Once you configure them in the gui or tpconfig, NBU will perform a scsi query and attach the outputed serial number to that tape devices. With the above configuration option, it will adjust the tape name to the new /dev/nst# on reboot if there was a change. If you want to go down the route of udev, the default configuration will point to /dev/tape%e but the NBU tape drive configuration tools I don't think will recognize anything but the no rewind devices (/dev/nst?) format although I've never tried. It looks like you may be on a RH4 based on your kernel version. FYI, the udev and multipathd implementation in RH5 was cleaned up quite a bit from and admin's management perspective.

[root@dev]# uname -a Linux 2 2.6.9-55.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Apr 20 16:36:54 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux and am trying to wrap my head around the FC-SCSI tape device configuration. I have seen/heard mention that udev rules should be create to ensure that persistent naming occurs in the event that the server gets rebooted, SAN changes are made, new devices are added, etc The way I understand things, the following is the method to get things working on the server side: 1) Kernel detects tape scsi devices and creates /dev/nst## device files (and /dev/st## device files) ie: /dev/nst1 2) Links are created via the default udevrules , create tape device symlinks. ie: tape81 - nst23a 3) Run /dev/MAKEDEV sg to create the sg links that Netbackup needs to populate the device database Question here: does the MAKEDEV command look for /dev/nst devices? Or is it based on the tape# symlinks described above? If the answer is that is uses the symlinks, then I think I understand how the udev rules would be used (scsi_id -g -u -s nst device used to get the scsi inquiry string, create a rules so that the result of that inquiry always creates the same tape#). If not, could someone enlighten me? Cheers, Jon La version française suit le texte anglais.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Linux tape discovery / cleanup
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Yes, several differences. Adding and removing simple SCSI devices has turned out to be easy enough in Linux. The complexities of multipathing software and volume management tools makes removing devices more difficult, but Linux isn't the only one that suffers from that. Take note that one thing I do miss in Linux is that the iostat command does not have the ability to show tape devices and their utilization which I find very useful in the world of NBU. If the tape device is fibre channel, then you can get some of that depending on the HBA model and the driver version and if its through a switch, you can get it from there as well.

It's difficult to get good numbers because we use multi-streaming and multiplexing like crazy. So the actual throughput to the drive is the sum of the jobs using the drive at that moment. Individual jobs vary between 5 MB/sec and about 65 MB/sec. But the total throughput to the tape heads is unknown. Anyone know an easy way to calculate that? If your drives are fibre-attached, use something like MRTG to grab the fibre port stats and graph that.

Does it have the bandwidth to perform what you want it to? These all may be futile questions as you may have reached the limits of your storage system. The obvious but potentially more expensive solution is to spread your load across more media servers. It is a fully supported configuration...

What sorts of disk systems are people using as disk staging to keep LTO3s happy? Our current EMC Clariion Cx300 struggles to supply data fast enough to 3 LTO2 drives (even outside of NetBackup) and performance goes through the floor if (as is often the case) it is still trying to write backups to disk while streaming data off to tape. We have pretty much a 24*7 backup window with lots of slow small, slow big, and some fast, clients. It seems the idea that you need disk staging to keep your LTO tapes running nicely, rings a bit hollow. Also seems to me we're looking at needing a high-end disk system. Which makes a mockery of backing up to cheap ATA/SATA disk being the way forward. The only way I can see to get around the performance problems with writing/reading backup streams to/from disk concurrently, other than a high-end system, is to script some kind of mirror-split-off process and use it to do the duplication with scripts rather than DSSU. i.e. back up to disk overnight then split a mirror off (to somewhere where its I/O will be separate) and duplicate off this during the day before resynching. Anybody do anything like that?

you go:
for i in `bppllist` ; do
printf $i:
bpplclients $i -l | awk '{printf $2:}'
printf \n
done
That will give you an output of

This is for bash or sh, modify the loop syntax for csh/tcsh

NBU 6 MP2 on Win2K Srvr
Me and the other backup admin inherited the NBU system from
someone else. We want to audit the policies. I think I already know
the answer but is there any easy way to get a list of which
servers are in which back up policies without having to do this one
policy or one client at a time? It'd be nice to get it dumped to
like a csv or something we can process to look for duplicates etc.
I have a feeling I am going to have to do some combination of
bplist, and bpplclients and probably more.
Basically we just want to do a full audit of the nBU policies
including schedules and which servers are in the policies etc. Seems
to me there should be a relatively easy way to do this but maybe I
am wrong. Anyone at least already have a script or something that
can do this?
Thanks.

That As time flows along, the cumul incr balance out and reduce in size as the fulls were configured to go straight to tape since I had the time on the weekend to endure the slow client performance and resource hogging. As far as what you are doing, sounds great as long as you have the disk space for it. Keep in mind that volume pools are a per dssu match, so if you have multiple clients going to the same dssu that you ultimately want on different volume pools, straight phase 2 isn't going to help you.

I have the HWM at 90%. Some of my backups are failing with 129 errors when directed to the Stroage Unit group even though one of the DSUs still had capacity. I thought that if a DSU went over the HWM it would continue existing backups but no new backups would be sent to it. The SUG should then remove it from the list while it's over the HWM.

Re: [Veritas-bu] DSSU Storage?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I have a couple of customers using DSSU's in NBU6. First of all, I do use storage unit groups with multiple DSSUs as part of them. Almost all have re-used existing storage as a general trend, so the back end storage has been RAID 1 or RAID 5 more times than not. The size of each DSSU depends on what the client profiles, back end storage density and policy/schedule quantities and frequencies. Kind of need to put all that in your brain and make a best guess. I have found that setting the mfs on the DSSU hasn't aided any of the situations I've set up and in fact when using multiple DSSUs in a storage unit group, the smaller (512mb) mfs has better distribution on smaller sides DSSUs. Flushing is done only after phase 2 is complete and successful. So if your schedule is not frequent enough, it will not prune out images as there would still be only 1 copy of that backup image. Looking forward to next updates when the volume pool can be specified at a more granule level instead of all disk staging for that DSSU goes to one pool. I've taken the approach for some customers to have cumulative or incrementals go to DSSUs and fulls and archives go strait to tape. Also, setting the storage unit group usage profile is something to consider if you go that route (prioritized, least used and failover). As far as HWM and LWM, I've generally left the HWM default (98%) and set the LWM to sometimes 60%, but that depends on the available resources for phase 2 and the frequency as well. If you want to have the most possible images on disk for faster restores, then taking your LWM down to 40% will make that difficult.

I'm thinking something along the lines of 50% high water mark with DSSU's 2x Media (compressed.)

Re: [Veritas-bu] Move /usr/openv to NFS mount coming from NetApps
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I would think veritas support would not recommend this or condone it, but if you have no other choice, make sure you have the underlying network infrastructure/arch worked out. So the network connection to the netapp from the master server, can it be on a different link than how the NDMP backups take place (unless the drives are on the filer). Is that link resilient, if solaris ipmp, if linux bonding, if Windows ???. Bottom line is that you are going to tie your backup, or more importantly, restore to a separate infrastructure, not that this is right or wrong, you just need to think about the ramifications. Is the NetApp clustered? Replicated? Also, on nbu server startup, make sure that the mount is there before NBU starts. If you are running out of catalog space, then take note of how that catalog backups run and what impact that will have. Also, there may need to be some tuning if this is NFS for the mount, such as turning off acl checks, making it run over tcp, make sure the mount is hard but intr, etc... If this were to work, then it would give you clustering capabilities as well as an interesting DR solution.

There also needs to be cleanup features in the event of the job getting canceled
by the admin (150) or of the stream gets retried or any other non-standard begin
and end game. So if I understand what new features 6 allows for, then the
parent
job can be where you perform all your magic with multiple streams. Look forward
to testing it or hearing of anyone else who has actually tested it.
Thanks

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Multiple data stream and bpend_notify script
In unix, I do this with what I call a count file.
As each stream ends, it writes appends a line to a common file. The script
then checks the number of lines in the file and compares it against the
STREAM_COUNT variable. If they match then the end-job is run the count
file removed.
Beats me how to do this in MS Batch files but here's my script's logic:
echo $STREAM_NUMBER /tmp/countfile
if [ `wc -l /tmp/countfile | awk '{print $1}'` -eq $STREAM_COUNT ]
then
echo Last stream
rm /tmp/countfile
run end-of-job-stuff
fi
There's some additional logic in the bpstart_notify script to check for an
old countfile that's gotten lost because a previous stream ended without
running it bpend_notify script. This, of course, may lead to the end-of-job
startup stuff not running. Usually, for me, that's not an issue.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Multiple data stream and bpend_notify script
Hi gurus,
We have a file system backup. It is being backuped as multiple data
stream.
We are backing up offline sql backup. So, in the bpend_notify script,
There is start command to start sql after finishing backup.
As there are multiple data stream, after completion of each data stream,
Nb run bpend_notify script. We have to instruct the script,
There are multiple data stream. In fact, in the admin guide,
We have found some variables to support multiple data stream:
STREAM_NUMBER
STREAM_COUNT
However, I do not know how can I use these variables in my bpend_notify
script.
Does Set STREAM_NUMBER=1 work? I am not sure. How can I tell the
script,
This backup is being backed up via multiple data stream. Please wait?
Is there any idea about that? I would appreciate if you could help me.
Regards,
Asiye
