Quantum actually was the one that told us to move from library to application (NetBackup) cleaning because of an earlier issue. The move seems to have solved the earlier issue but now we're seeing this one. This one isn't really that big a deal but it is a curiosity. Our work around is simply to close the ticket on the library but it seems that shouldn't be necessary if the library would recognize the first cleaning occurring when it does as opposed to waiting until the second drive alert/cleaning.

This appears to be working fine in that when the robot issues an alert saying a tape drive needs cleaning NetBackup is mounting a cleaning tape and showing success on the cleaning. However, we're seeing an oddity in that these alerts (called tickets in the tape library itself) are staying Open and Drives status shows warning in the library even after the cleaning of a drive until a separate alert (usually a day later) causes cleaning of another drive. That cleaning will also work in NetBackup and at the end of this separate cleaning the tape library changes status of both this latter alert and the earlier one both to Verified (meaning it is closed) and the Drives status returns to normal. We've now seen this occur 3 times (that is 6 separate drives). Is anyone else using the Quantum i6000 (or even i2000) and if so have you seen this?Did you find a way to automatically clear after one drive cleaning or did you have to manually clear the ticket in the library? Netbackup 7.1 Quantum i6000 tape library using HP OEM LTO5 drives. To answer questions that might occur: 1) Did the tape drive cleaning job show up in Activity Monitor and indicate success? Yes 2) Did the system log on master show the cleaning tape mount and unmount successfully? Yes 3) Does tpclean -L show the last cleaning time corresponding with the mount/unmount of the cleaning tape? Yes 4) Does tpclean -L show needs cleaning or anything similar in comments column? No Since it cleans automatically and is done within 2 minutes of the alert I've never had a chance to see the needs cleaning. The mount time column changes to 0.0 after the cleaning. 5) Does the media cleanings remaining count decrement by one after a cleaning? Yes 6) Are we using frequency based cleaning? No - We're using tape alerts as recommended by NetBackup documentation. 7) Is the cleaning of first drive occurring at same time as alert on first drive? Yes - it is only the ticket clearing that is happening at alert/cleaning of second drive.

Hi Simon, Works fine, lasts a long time. You may notice some degradation in throughput on individual VM’s as opposed to physical servers but nothing a little careful scheduling can’t get you around. I really like the idea that my offsite backups are vmdk’s which can be restored and hooked up to any esx system. With windows VM’s you can also do granular restores. I hear in 7.1 we will be able to do the same with unix VM’s. We use this in conjunction with netapp smvi backups for our onsite backups. Very slick and very fast.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Email restore using NBU?? Please help!! :(
Justin, On the attributes page of the policy if you have Enable granular restore checked, and if the DB backup completed without errors you should be able to open the DB backup and browse through it. However if that is not the case then you have some interesting times ahead. Yes, you can do all sorts of strange and exotic Exchange things, or you could invest around $400 in a software package called Kernel for Exchange Server Recovery. This allows you to parse through exchange EDB files and export to a PST. Using that you can restore the EDB anywhere you want and plunder through it.

Rather a lot simpler than NBU, but it is a simpler product. %/whereveryouinstalledBE/Catalogs is the data you want. That being said we always backup our entire BE server so we have everything anyway. Keep in mind with BE 9 and up you are running an instance of MSDE or SQlexpress. BE automagically sets this up to do DB backups. If you modify this in any way you will need to accommodate. In a crash situation if you rebuilt the machine, loaded BE, catalog the backup of backup server, then restored it to itself you are good to go. David Spearman County of Henrico, Va.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP to basic disk
I was finally able to get back to this problem. Apparently the job actually is running. On the NBU gui it appears that nothing is happening, no byte count, etc. However when I looked at the target drive itself the img files were there and growing, but extremely slow for an ndmp job. The situation is this. We have a netapp on which we recently implemented the snapshot for exchange feature for our exchange2007 system. Since we require 3 months of snapshots but don't have nearly enough space to leave them all there we want to back the snaps up to disk. So the snaps are on fibre attached netapp volumes and the ndmp job grabs the snap and is writing it to a basic disk. The basic disk is actually a 6TB GPT volume that is made up of fibre attached netapp SATA space. I also tried redirecting to another disk SATA space that is on a clarriion. Once again, extremely slow throughput. Directing the job to tape gives me more expected results. David Spearman County of Henrico, Va.

Re: [Veritas-bu] One last problem with master server failure
I think I have it figured out, it was the clue to look at whether it was attaching to the right media server. When I rebuilt the master the hot catalog does not restore all the settings. So when I was putting things back in one of the items was the restore failover' tab. Of course like a complete idiot I put my failovers on the general tab so while the backups ran fine every time I did a restore it failed over to a media server that had no control over the dsu's. Sort of reminds of the time I took my trusty .45 and took aim at my right foot.

[Veritas-bu] Odd problem with master server restore
Last week I posted a help me when our master server crashed. W2K3R2 enterprise with NBU 6.5.3. The folks out there helped us get rolling on the Hot Catalog restore which worked fine. However we came across another problem. The two obvious symptoms were error 42's on backups, and when mapping a drive you would occasionally get an out of system resources message. My boss dug through the MS KB's and focused on memory management. When he looked at the key below HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management He found that the rebuilt server had the System Pages dword set to 0. On our media servers it was set to 798720 decimal. As soon as he hacked the registry the 42's went away. I suspect this dword is supposed to be modified by NBU but don't know for sure. Anyway, something to look out for. Thanks for everyone's help.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetApp and Scaler i2000
Bryan, Way way cool. I did remember to lun map the i2000. We had also tried unplugging the fibre. However the key was the two storage commands you listed. Once I ran those the i2000 came to life for the Netapp. By the by, when I was looking through the KB's at Ontap I found one that specified that the Control 0 entry should be put in position 255 on the i2000. That's where I put mine and it works but I don't know if it really makes any difference. David Spearman County of Henrico From: Bryan Bahnmiller [mailto:bbahnmil...@dtcc.com] Sent: Friday, May 22, 2009 10:00 AM To: Spearman, David Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] NetApp and Scaler i2000 David, Did you do your device mapping on the Scalar? I've used I2K's in the past, and once you get the I/O blades zoned in on your fabric, you have to make sure the device mapping in the I/O blades allows access to the tape drives. Another thought, you are using the NetApp supplied HBA's for tape drives, right? They use different HBA's for disk and tape. Oh, another thing, you may have to reset your tape hba ports. So, if you have a tape drive attached to, say, port 1c (card 1, port c) you have to reset the card oftentimes before it will see the drive. You may also have to do this when you re-cycle NBU. To do this, do: storage disable adapter 1c storage enable adapter 1c Then you should be able to see the drives using sysconfig -t on the netapp. Another gotcha is that if the Scalar I/O blade has 1 WWNN with separate WWPN's for the ports on the blade, the NetApp will only look at the WWNN. So if you have 2 drives down 1 port and another 2 drives down another port, the NetApp will think those are the same 2 drives - with failover paths...

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup on RedHat Entr. or windows server 2003?
My reality is simple, 120 windows boxes, 45 RH linux. Because you can push client software to clients with the same OS as the master server I find having a windows box a lot less work. If you had more linux clients then I also find configuring the windows clients much easier since everything you can configure is in the gui, not so with linux, lots of file editing. I also despise java, which is the gui de jour in NBU outside of windows. As far as moving on, from what I can tell from the forum most NIX sites tend to be solaris rather than linux.

Tim, I thought I might add what I suspect is another side effect of 6.5.2a. We have been running 652 with no problems except for the hot catalog backup critical policy. Hot catalog works fine until you put in critical policies. However when we went to 6.5.2a our two media servers would drop offline (literally, in devices/media servers) for no apparent reason. This typically happened when the systems were loaded up with jobs. Since 652a didn't do anything for us I have removed it. W2K3R2 master and media servers, i2K/lto4.

Re: [Veritas-bu] McaFee Anti-Virus exclusions for NBU 6.5.1
Folks, For what it's worth McAfee is versatile enough to get around most of this. What we do is exclude the nbu folders on the master/media servers. On all the clients there is an advanced setting to not scan files being backed up. So nothing is scanned by the backup. I don't care about that since we have schedules/settings that scan the servers so there is no need to scan again. We have enough windows servers that we went McAfee ePO so we can set everything centrally. David Spearman County of Henrico, va.

We have recently moved from 6.0 mp4 to 6.5.1 (windows). The first major problem we have run in to is multistreaming.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netback 6.0 and 6.5 Exchange 2003 mail recovery
James, NBU has been able to do mailbox level backups for some time now (includes version 6 and before). If you already have a valid exchange client license all you have to do is set the policy up. Careful reading of manual is suggested. However it would appear that the code writers for BackupExec have stolen a march on the NBU folks. I am playing around with the BE11d exchange backups now. With it all you need is a full backup of the exchange DB (preferably to dssu) and whatever incrementals you may desire and the code will open up the database backup and let you drill down. So far it seems to be working rather well and it is sure a lot better than the tedious and lengthy mailbox backups offered by nbu. Our sales weenine tells us nbu will be able to do this mid 2008.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netback 6.0 and 6.5 Exchange 2003 mail recovery
Sure it can, if you have done a mailbox backup. Once licenesed you pick exchange as your policy type. You then have the ability to back up the entire DB (good for DR etc) or a mailbox ot public folder backup. The mailbox and public folder backups are granular down to the individual messages. That's handy but it can take a very long time to get the backup. That is because nbu has to open each mailbox. Restores are faster.

Re: [Veritas-bu] windows 2003 system state restore problem
Len, Whether this is applicable or not I don't know, however we have found with w2k3 that in order to make a restore work that includes sys state the target must be at the same build level as the data you have on your backup. So if your data was of a w2k3 SP1 system then you need to build the target as w2k3 SP1. If you had no SP's or were at SP2 you need to build the target accordingly. I have not figured out whether this is a function of the OS or NBU or both however we never had this to deal with until we went to NBU6 and w2k3 sp1.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP and SSO in NetBackup 6.0
Rongsheng, We use nbu6mp4/sso/ndmp to back up celerra cifs servers. It is easier than with 5.1 but works fine with one word of caution down below. You need to zone the fibre so the celerra sees the drives. Setting up the library is specific to that box. Once all the fibre stuff is done you will need an sso licemse and a ndmp license. Once loaded you will go to media and device mgt/devices/ndmp hosts (this is the gui of course, (sorry all you died in the wool cmd line junkies) and add the name of the CIFS server you want to back up. After that use the Configure storage devices wizard to discover the paths via the ndmp option. This is way simplistic. It is well detailed in the 6.0 admin guides and those should be used. I followed them step by step and had no problems. CAUTION: I have mentioned this about the Celerra before but will do so again. If you are running the 5.5 code on the Celerra when you do an interogation of the unit whether by gui or command line the process can get hung up. The Celerra instead of timing out will fail the datamover. If you don't pick up on the fact that the DM has failed and you run another interogation you might fail the 2nd datamover which makes for a lot of unhappy users. So when you do this have nasadmin up and stop what your doing if you get the first failure. EMC knows about this, we actually had their people on site, who promptly blew away our celerra database.

Douglas, For what it's worth. We do NDMP with virtual cif servers on an emc celerra (clariion disk space of course). Does the throughput increase? Yes and no. Sure, it shoots the data down the line faster however NDMP is a single threaded job. One NDMP job, one tape unit. In truth I can multiplex data across the wire and get three jobs going to one tape unit with just about the same speed. We have no choice since the Centerra is ndmp only.

So this function depends on your NDMP server. We are running Netbackup 6.0 MP4 on Solaris 10. What's the NDMP machine? I believe for Netapp you'll use SET EXCLUDE=*.chkpnt in the list.

Re: [Veritas-bu] BMR Backups vs BMR Restore Clients
Jason, For what it's worth. We have two circumstances where RH3 and BMR (nbu6mp4)have problems. One is servers inside a DMZ, the other is with servers that have two nics running. The odd thing about the dual nic servers is that if you run the discovery option a BMR restore will work even though the client is not in the bmr list. As far as the dmz goes we have had any number of problems with that and I will not point any fingers. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brooks, Jason Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 9:50 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] BMR Backups vs BMR Restore Clients Folks, I've been monitoring BMR policies/hosts more closely lately.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP SSO
We have almost the same setup albeit with one master/media and one media server, including the %$#*)^% Celerra. SSO requires only the license to implement. Plus a use of the wizard after all your media servers can see the drives, I am assuming FC here. The fun part comes with the afore mentioned Celerra. The drives must be presented to it (if you don't have an integral drive), then you can use the wizard. Here comes the fun part. If you have a lot of drives to be discovered the Celerra will probably time out. Instead of sending you a nasty gram with an error message it will go into a panic and fail to the backup path. For those of you who have never worked with this nightmare in a box it requires resetting the primary path and moving the system from the backup to the primary. The command syntax is convoluted and your data will be unavailable for 15 - 30 minutes. For more info 6.0 has an NDMP user guide, also take a look at Veritas doc 273511 for more on SSO. There is also an SSO guide out there somewhere. EMC has doc 300-001-614 (Configuring NDMP Backups with Celerra and Veritas Netbackup) I will be the first to admit that SSO and V6 NBU made the whole NDMP setup close to plug and play, and it pretty much works as advertised , except for the panics of course. Another word of caution. When you set your backup selections what you really want to do is login to the Celerra itself (a short version of linux) and go to /nas/server/slot_2 and read the file called mount. That will show you the true backup path to the CIFS server.

Juan, Welcome to the world of mailbox backups. They will always be slow since the job actually has to open the mailbox to record what is in them. Hence the need for the exchange admin ID running the nbu service. However 23mb/s is a bit on the low side. We had the same problem for a while but discovered the real offender was McAfee GroupSield. We now have a scheduled job that stops the GroupShield service during the backup window and that improved things a good bit. But don't expect too much, maybe 350mb/s. We run a full on weekends then incrementals during the week. As far as the db goes, that will be fast since it is really just one nice large file.

[Veritas-bu] Resolution of BMR restore problem to RH3 systems with FC cards
Title: Message The Problem Dell PE servers running RH3 with emulex 9000 fibre channel cards connected to Clariion disk space. When running a BMR to a stand alone system everything works as advertised. However if the system has an Emulex 9000 card in it the BMR job would always fail since it reported a PCI load order problem. Suppossedly this could be corrected by running a special command at the boot prompt early in the process. That of course did not work. We contacted Veritas Support and got the following answer "It's not supported",i.e., only Emulex 8000 cards (obsolete). The Solution In the spirit of never say die we kept working this problem. Since BMR worked perfectly fine restoring a Dell's internal system we thought there must be a way around the fibre card problem. In fact there is. Mind you this solution restores the internal drives only, and you do not want to try and mount the external systems. So...how is it done On your Boot Server you create the SRT(s) you will use. Once you have finished that bit go to \export\ srt \yourSRT \etc and edit the rc.stage2 script This is the script that has the disk checking section that forces the failure. In particular go the section that begins # # Verify SCSI modules are loaded in the order we want. # And ends unset modulesLoaded modulesWanted module fi Either delete or remark this entire section out. Then run your BMR in the standard fashionchoosing the SRT with the edited rc.stage2 scriptand it will work. Since you have to select "restore system files only" it will automaticaly comment out all external mount points in/etc/fstab with the line "BMR". You can edit these out, mount -a or reboot. If for some reason you need to restore the externalfile systems you can now do so in the usual manner.

[Veritas-bu] RedHat3 Bare Metal Restore

Our system W2k3 master/media W2k3 media Scaler 2000 library RH3 BMR server We have followed the manual religiously and I do have a support call in. Does anyone have a cheat sheet, tips, gothcas, whatever to get this mess working? We can get all the way to setting the job up in tasks, booting the target and having it connect, after that it just sits around resetting all the scsi channels for a couple of hours before failing. It did give a hint to use bmr scsiLoadOrder=: but that didn't help either. To me it appears to be looking for sda, sdb, etc, but I was under the impression it was supposed to do all that for you if you set the job up according to the bmr restore to different hardware bit. We also tried going to the original disks and it did succesfully restore 1456 bytes (one ethernet packet). The manual is at best convoluted and I think the support guy is on vacation.

I have actually done this across disimiliar platforms, albeit you have to be a bit tricky. In short we will never waste money on windows bmr, it's just to easy to do it the old fashioned way.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Status Code 800 - HELP!
Mike,
First things first, verify the devices in question are available in the
OS. It sounds like that is where you lost the hardware. You should be
able to delete the devices in your hardware manager then rediscover. If
the OS still can't see the devices then you need to find out what that
problem is (i.e. bad interface, whatever). Once the OS can find the
stuff NBU will.

Re: [Veritas-bu] SSO question
Title: Message Paul, we do use SSO, with one master and one media server, but we also throw ndmp in the mix. We do indeed limit the total count of our master and media servers to the drives actually available, 4 drives on the master and 6 on the media server. However, since the two servers can see all 10 drives they just choose whichever drive is available. As long as the policies are set to use "any available server" then the jobs will go to whichever one can grab a drive. If all the drives are busy the jobsgo into the queue. Our point to doing it this way was to split the load over two separate gig-e pipes to the fiber where the the drives live in such a way that NBU took care of the details of how the data gets there. With NDMP we have it set to use paths available only on the master server, that's just to keep it from confusing the hell out of me.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6 upgrade.
Title: Message In windows system it is an upgrade. The installation guide isn't quite correct. We just did our system, win2k master/media and win2k3 media, SSO to a scaler 2000 with 10 drives. NBUPUSHDATA sort of works. We had to upgrade both boxes to 6, then disable the media server before the command would work on the master/media server. Then we enabled the media server and ran the command there. That works. Another disconcerting thing we have found is the client software on win2k boxes. It overwrites the server list so if you don't include all the console type machines you will have to go in after the fact and add them. It did keep the media server list. On w2k3 clients it seems to keep the server list intact.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Disk Tuning
Simon, I can only tell you what we do W2k master media plus a w2k3 media server (5.1mp4), everything attached to an ADIC scaler 2000 with 10 drives, SSO shared with master media and media servers. The master server is set to use 3 Max Concurrent drives (which means our master server will never use more than 3 drives even though it sees all 10. The media server is set to use 6 Max Concurrent drives (which means it will never use more than 6 drives even though it sees all 10. You notice we always leave one drive available for restores, that may not be necessary in your case. The way this is set is to insure the load is split properely during peak periods. (This gave us about a 15% gain in throughput) Our maximum multiplexing is set at 3 which means each drive will multiplex no more than 3 jobs per tape unit. In some circumstances it may do less than that if that is all that is in the queue. Through a lot of testing we have found that our environment works best with a maximum multiplex of 3. However when I set up my policies we set the maximum multiplexing for 32. The limiting factor is at the library level (3), but if for some reason we needed to open up (or choke down) the policies will not need to be edited.

There is a tool from M$ that will allow you to get this info and change to serial numbers as needed. We always had to document the serials and keep a copy of the doc offsite as well as on site. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of WEAVER, SimonSent: Tuesday, November 08, 2005 09:01 AMTo: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.eduSubject: [Veritas-bu] Backuping Up Cluster 2003 Server Hi again Does anyone have any experience on backing up a cluster with NBU 5.x ? I have a question that I would like to get confirmed as being the correct answer, in the event of problems restoring the cluster! Basic setup Windows 2003 Server Cluster is known as CLUSTER01. The Nodes are known as Cluster02 and Cluster03 as physical computer names. On top of this, they also have "Virtual Names" known to the users as "Data" and "Personal" At the moment, I have the Netbackup client installed on Cluster02 and Cluster03 (As this is the physical computer names of the Servers). Now, what I have been doing is performing backups using the "Virtual Names". This has been working fine, without too many issues. However, my question is this: Should I also be doing backups of the Physical Computer Names or not? Not knowing clustering that well, I was not entirely sure if this is the correct process, but it does work! Would be grateful for any information on this. I want to be 100% sure that in the event of a disaster, I can safely recover the node or worse case, the entire cluster.
