[Veritas-bu] NDMP backups
forget NDMP with Isilon.there is much better method, which I have only done with NFS. Take your media server and hard mount UNC to each individual node. take the number of subdirectories in the root and divide by the number of nodes yes it might not be an even number, but you'll have slight imbalance..1 yes...you could script to check for subs in root and chop it up evenly and update backup selections Or, if you have tight controls where you work...anytime storage admin creates a new subdirectory in root, you are notified to rebalance backup selections. then set backup selections as follows For example: you have four nodes and 16 subs NEW_STREAM //unc-path-node1/ifs/directories 1-4 NEW_STREAM //unc-path-node2/ifs/directories 5-8 NEW_STREAM //unc-path-node3/ifs/directories 9-12 NEW_STREAM //unc-path-node4/ifs/directories 13-16 what this winds up doing is making the Isilon use its backplane (Infiniband) between nodes because that's what its meant for...the collective throughput of many connections to many nodes being hit all at once. 10GbE on media server really rips!!

first, go to Hardware Compatibility List and check model and software version of VTL you are using. Most Sun/STK VTL allow NDMP direct copy with VTL in shared drive mode, which means you need SSO.

[Veritas-bu] Fragment size for LTO4 on NBU 6.x
tape drive will use LOCATE BLOCK to first file to restore, then search from there. wdlb5359 wrote: What are people using for the fragment size on LTO4 (or I guess LTO3) with NBU 6.x? I ask because the default is 1TB, i.e. more or less don't fragment. The argument for a large fragment is that the backup doesn't have to stop so often as it does briefly at the end of each fragment to update the Master, and also the inter-fragment file markers waste space..though that's hardly a consideration on such large tapes now. The argument for a small fragment was that the tape can position at full speed to the file marker for the appropriate fragment for a restore, rather than reading the tar file from the top at read speed, which for a large tape could be a very long time. We used to (dating back to DLT7000) set a 2GB fragment, as back then this was thought a good idea in case you wanted to dd the tape to disk and read it without NetBackup. UNIX file systems did not take files 2GB. Well I can't say we ever tried it and it's a silly small size now. But what are people using - 100GB? 200GB? Does it really make a difference...

[Veritas-bu] single initiator zoning
Your harping is well founded...I know of no one, of any real merit, that doesn't use SIZ. Tell your SAN admin to hook it up correctly. Geyer, Gregory wrote: I believe our SAN admin has one zone which includes all the tape drives and all the HBAs for the media servers. Makes it easy for him. But we have performance problems. And there is one other zone I think with just a couple of HBAs in it that performs very well. I've been harping on zoning as a possible cause to our problems and have run across this in Brocade's Zoning Best Practice guide (link provided below). Are there Netbackup environments out there with one large zone containing many HBAs on it that isn't having performance problems? I've been trying to lobby to get that fixed, or at least tested further. The meat of the pdf is: The recommended grouping method for Zoning is Single Initiator Zoning (SIZ), sometimes called Single HBA Zoning. With SIZ, each zone has only a single HBA and one or more storage ports. If the HBA has both disk and tape storage devices, then you need to create two zones: one zone with the HBA and the disk devices and a second zone with the HBA and the tape devices. SIZ is optimal because it prevents any host-to-host interaction and limits RSCNs to just the zones that need the information within the RSCN. and the link: http://www.boche.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/Zoning_Best_Practices_WP-00.pdf (http://www.boche.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/Zoning_Best_Practices_WP-00.pdf) +-- |This was sent by sola...@cablespeed.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

It depends If it is a new environment, and you have the ability to implement via best practices and following strict common sense guidelines, it is possible for one person to maintain NBU, for 95% of sites out there. You must remember, NBU touches everything around it... umpteen different apps, network, SAN, OS, I/O etc my hat goes off to the people who code it up.it is a monumental task NBU only works as good as your environment does...the weaker your infrastructure is set up from top to bottom the more people it will take to maintain NBU.

It would be Solaris platform so could run functions (such as the master server) in a zone for failover, and media server if required as separate zones. Anyone have any experience of this ? I guess its a balance between complexity of setup with trying to keep config to a minimum - I mean I could have simple local HA / cluster with remote failover an then do that both ways, but that might end up as 6 servers for initial config.

[Veritas-bu] Exchange 2007 with CCR - Passive Node Backup
this is spot on Rosenkoetter, Gabriel wrote: You shouldn't be specifying either the active or passive node name as a client, you should be specifying the cluster's virtual name as a client. Also, note that you must run the NetBackup Client Service as an AD-level (not local) account that has local admin access on each server and admin access to the Exchange cluster for LCR/CCR snapshot backups. Running the client as LocalSystem will not work. (The documentation's a bit hazy on this point. It's clear that that's necessary for individual mailbox backups, it's not so clear that it's required for the cluster backups, but it makes sense when you think about it: the Exchange cluster isn't logically attached to either node, so neither node's LocalSystem has sufficient permissions.) -- gabriel rosenkoetter Radian Group Inc, Unix/Linux/VMware Sysadmin / Backup Recovery gabriel.rosenkoetter at radian.biz, 215 231 1556 From: Scheef Jr, Ed E.

We're just now setting up a Netbackup Policy for Exchange 2007 running in a CCR cluster. The backup has been defined to backup the passive node first, but if not available, backup the active node. The question I have is client definition in the Snapshot policy (within Exchange Policy) required to backup the Exchange database: When we put both physical CCR cluster node names in the policy's client list, it starts backups for both nodes, and looks like it does snapshots for both nodes, when only the passive node should be snapshotting, and getting backed up. Why is that happening ?? Anybody have a passive node Exchange backup set up and working ??? An obvious solution would be to take the active node server out of the policy's client list, but then if a failover occurred , and the passive node switched to what is now the active node, would the passive node backup still work without that physical server in the policy's client list ?? The Netbackup documentation update for 6.5.2 is not too clear on this !!
