Re: [Veritas-bu] Synthetic backups failing with 610
We had a similar problem last year, discovered that the problem--for us, anyways--is that you can't have mixed incrementals when using synthetics. For example, you can run differential incrementals and synthetic fulls; you can run cumulative incrementals and synthetic fulls; but you cannot run cumulative and differential backups and get successful synthetics. They will work for a single cycle (seed full, mixed incrementals, synthetic full), but the next time a synthetic is attempted it will fail with a 610. Took us months to figure that one out and that was working with Symantec support.

Option 1: Just refresh the hardware building a 64bit Windows 2008 server and keeping everything the same. 1B: instead of keeping the catalog on a local disk - possibly we can direct connect to one of our filers and dump the catalog there. Option 2: Keeping the existing 32bit master and add a new 64bit Windows 2008 Master (using a different name) restore only the policies and start to run jobs off the new master.

[Veritas-bu] NetBackup 6.5.5 Java GUI hangs
Hi all, Just upgraded to NBU 6.5.5 and have discovered that trying to do a find all in the activity monitor causes the GUI (also upgraded on all workstations) to hang. Doing a find next will go a line that doesn't have the search string in it. Can use find just fine when searching media, though notice the same kind of problems when using find to locate policies. Sort and filter are working fine in all views. Wondering if anyone else has encountered the problem and if so, what the fix was. Did come across an old thread for the problem in 6.5.3 where the solution appeared to be changing the following settings in the setconf.bat file: SET FORCE_RESET=1 SET INITIAL_MEMORY=128M SET MAX_MEMORY=512M Force_reset was already set to 1, upped memory settings (was at 32M and 128M) but so far no luck.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Restore Client on Red Hat Linux
James, From page 386 of the Unix admin guide: Client Attributes properties Client Attributes properties apply to clients of currently selected master servers. Client Attributes contains three subtabs: General Tab ?Connect Options tab? on page 388 ?Windows Open File Backup tab? on page 391 Figure 7-15 General tab of Client Attributes host properties dialog box Allow client browse The Allow client browse property allows all clients to browse files for restoring. This attribute is overridden if the Browse and restore ability on the General tab is set to Deny both for a particular client(s). Allow client restore The Allow client restore property allows all clients to restore files. This attribute is overridden if the Browse and restore ability on the General tab is set to Allow browse only or Deny both. Access this window from NBU GUI on master - Host Properties - Master Servers. Select appropriate master and when it finishes clocking, right click - Properties - Client Attributes. Should be the same settings for Windows master.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Number of retries query
Dave, This isn't an ideal fix, but it will work--schedule the backups from the client. Basically, just put entries in cron (root or oracle will work) with the commands (or script wrapper around the command) to launch the backup instead of using the NBU scheduler (will have to remove current full/incremental schedules and replace with a user directed that has the appropriate windows). Reason this will work is because the automatic retries only affects backups launched from the master...if it's submitted by the client, it will not retry on failure. Only real issues off the top of my head are: 1) If client is down or doesn't have network connectivity, you won't see failure to run backup in NBU because the backup will never be submitted. 2) You lose visibility to backup schedules within NBU.

I can see where this would be a nice feature to have. There are many different reasons that a rman backup job can fail. From a netbackup end of things one could have a 96 error no scratch tapes, A media fault, A network issue. Etc. Or it could be a oracle issue. For something like a media issue that is cleared up on the netbackup end of things I would think that the dba's would want the backup to be retried. For an oracle issue I do not know enough. But either way I believe that you could add the control you require into the script that netbackup runs on the client to run the rman commands. Might not be easy. I am sure other that know oracle can give you a better answer then this, and I look forward to learning. As a simple case of go or nogo without any variance based on the prior failure you could try. In the beginning of the script you could set a state value of STARTED into a file on client. At the end of the script the vaule could be changed to COMPLETE. At the start of the script if the value is not COMPLETE the script could give an error return and exit. Someone would have to change the statue value to STARTED to enable the script to run. This could be done after clearing the problem. This can also be used to bypass the running of the backup at the script level when the oracle dba's are doing maintenance work on the oracle database. If you use and check for some state value of BYPASS then the script could exit with a normal return code and netbackup would not have a backup but would think that everything is ok and not retry. You could also use touch files instead on one state file. Let us know what you end of doing to solve this issue. len -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Dave Markham Sent: Monday, April 06, 2009 8:17 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Number of retries query Guys does anyone know if you can change the number of job retries in xx time period on a per client basis?

Re: [Veritas-bu] bpstart timeout not honoured
Dave, Looks like you have a typo below, but that's not important. What is is that regardless of what the bpstart timeout is set to on the client, it has to be set to the same or greater on the master server...if master server timeout is less than client, master will get honored before the client. You also need to have it set the same or greater on the media server.

Gordon, Check your nbevtmgr, see if it's running. We've been having a problem with ours shutting down every 12 hours or so due to a memory leak. If nbevtmgr isn't running, policy changes don't take effect. You can also force a reread of policy/schedule information by restarting nbpem. The fix Symantec has given us is to fall back to the 6.5 binary...apparently this is a bug in the MP1 binary.

The lab is isolated and when I restore a client, there?s not really much we can test because the client looks for the production network. Today I had to restore a Windows 2003 Server in the production environment and most of the registry wasn?t restored; services and other objects were missing. With the test restores, I always had the option of doing an ntbackup of the System State and then I would run a full backup of the client. I?d take my tape to the lab, run a full restore, but before I rebooted the restored client, I restored the ntbackup of the System State (Shadow Copy Component.) That seemed to work just fine. But today when the server blew up, there was no opportunity to do an ntbackup of the SS first. I asked Symantec last year if the ntbackup was still needed and they said no, a full backup and restore should recover the client. I just never had the chance to test that theory. Am I missing a step? I installed the OS from a basic CD install, loaded the NBU client, and then did a full restore. But it?s as if the system state was never restored so I?m wondering if I?m even backing it up. How can I tell? Do I need VSS or VSP activated in order to get a good copy of the system state? We turned VSP off over a year ago because we were having problems with the orphaned cache files. I?ve never gone back and changed the setting on most of the clients and my plans were to start using VSS but haven?t gotten to that task either.
