[Veritas-bu] DR site preparation

2014-09-04 Thread pranav batra
Good Day Geeks !
 
We are in planning phase of creating a new DC and its DR site. The plan is to 
create a new master server with three media servers at the production site and 
a standy by master server and 3 media servers at the DR site.
 
Standy master server will have same host name and NIC's will be in deactivated 
mode.
We planning to use recoverpoint to replicate the netbackup catalog at remote 
site.
Now ,i am little confused on how this will act during real disaster.
 
Production is down = ok
We made the DR up - now what all steps would be required to make it a 
production master ?
Do we need to do a complete catalog recovery ? I guess No as we already have 
catalog replicated to DR site and mounted to DR master.
What all steps would i need to perform to make DR up and running as production 
was
 
there are two scenarios we looking for
 
1) what we need to recover if we replicate /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images
2) what we need to recover if we replicate /usr/openv
Would it work if we simply mount the /usr/openv ?
 
 
PB
 
 
Thanks,
PB

[Veritas-bu] Manual and Scheduled backups not running

2014-06-19 Thread pranav batra
Good Day Geeks 1
Two days back we upgrade dour 2008 R2 master server from 7.5.0.6 to 7.6.0.1One 
issue happened as we had our Netbackup\DB in X drive ,it earlier was in Y drive 
but we moved to X drive 6 months backup but not sure when running update 
everything in registry moved back to Y.

So ,we had our classes ,SLP's copied from X to Y to make everything 
working.Everything started working but yesterday we suspended the scheduler to 
upgrade our 3 MSDP media servers and after successful upgrade nothing is 
running.
None of the manual and scheduled jobs running.
Please advise what we have done wrong and what how should we proceed to get 
this corrected.

Hello
Yes we created new policy ,repeated the whole process. Taking manual full

I can see the full backup as successful backup but media verify failed and thus

How often are you running the backups?
 If TIR information has dropped off for some reason, it can cause
a 610 as well.  They can also be generated if one of the backups has
expired (automatically or manually) before the next synthetic is scheduled.



Have you tried taking a new regular
full and starting the process again?

But , 

I think that you can run differential incrementals and synthesize a cumulative
 backup. 

Then you can use the full and the latest synthetic cumulative and create
a new synthetic full. 

As you do not mix incremental and cumulative backups you are ok

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.

Check that your database is up. It will shutdown if space gets low to protect

It is nbdb_ping and I think it is in db/bin. If it is not up and you have

running.No active backup ,neither scheduled nor manual.
Early today  ,catalog drive became full and we freed up some space and recycled 
the NBu services but even after that backups are not starting.
Nbpemreq is running. I also have cancelled the process and then resumed the 
scheduler but still not working.
No backups.
Please help.

Could be a resource issue. Check on the backup host for any outstanding bpfis 
processes running.
Maybe reboot backup host and try again.
How many VM's are you backing up? I have seen this problem, and I had to reduce 
the number of VM's down in each backup.

[Veritas-bu] NDMp SAN Data flow

2013-02-07 Thread pranav batra

Hello Geeks,
 
I have little confusion about data flow of NDMP DUMP in SAN environment.
We have few NDMP backups configured in our environment.
 
Netbackup 7.5
Windows 2008
Tape drives are shared between three media servers and 5 NAS boxes.
 
Tape drives are authenticated to NAS boxes via Production as well as backup LAN.
NDMP backups were happeninf via NAS0001 name and throughput was too slow .
Recently i configured backup via backup lan ,NAS0001-bu and backup throughput 
is increased like 50MB/Sec and earlier it was 7-8Mb/Sec
 
The question is as data flow is via san as Drives are zoned to NAS box.
So ,why speed has increased when changed backup to happen via production LAN.
 
Thanks,

It looks like a race condition, the Remove process may not be complete when the

You should be able to do this, but it may require ACSLS and/or a license. 
Either way it will require partitioning to physically split the library into 
two separate areas for the different masters to use. You don't want them 
overlapping. Check the manual for the library for the details on what you need 
to do.

 I have not used NDMP for awhile, will have to wait for someone else to
 respond here; however, you should try increasing logging to VERBOSE =

[Veritas-bu] Media server load balancing issue

2011-07-14 Thread pranav batra

Hello Geeks,

We have a setup here with one master and 11 media servers all solaris on 6.5.6
OS is : Solaris10.


We have 3 media servers used for disk based backups using advanced disk by 
netbackup.
We have ZFS pool created on 9,10 and 11 media servers and then using them as a 
advanced disk.

Now the issue is ,We have put media9 and media11 in storage unit group with 
load balancing issue ,but this thing is not working properly as most of the 
backups going on media9 not on media11.

We have made the changes as tried to use round-robin and priortised but the 
issue is still there.

Our media11 is more powerful with 64 GB ram as compared to media9 with 16gb ram 
but still the backups not going on media11.

Any idea/advise to resolve this./

First, don't bother using VSP. It has known issues and eventually goes away
in version 7.x.

In addtion to all the other suggestions, take a look at the Windows Event

 Hi,
 
 What are you trying to backup?
 Database files?
 Open PST files?
 Are you using DFSR replication?
 What version is your master, media servers?
 
 --
 
 Typically though you want to go to:
 
 Host Properties
 - Client Attributes
 - Add the client name here.
 - Click the Windows Open File Backup tab.
 - Click [x] Enable Windows Open File Backups for this client.
 - Click Snapshot Provider: Use VSS
 - Individual drive snapshot (seems to work best..)
 - Snapshot Error Control (Disable Snapshot  continue)

SLP will guarantee that the subsequent
copies get completed before expiring the original backup image (copy 1).
With normal duplication or inline tape copies, you don't get this level
of protection. Once the initial backup is completed, the impact of duplication
is on the media server, not the client.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Multiple copies option
in Netbackup













Hello,

1.both
backup copies will start in parallel. 

2.Automatically,
only with SLP. But you can manual duplicate the backup.

3.SLP
is better. Even if you do only dual copy backups and no duplications, if
a copy fail, SLP will create it  by duplicating from the succeeded
copy. 



Both ways, SLP and inline copy, are working the same way. They read the
data ones and write the data to two locations at the same time. The speed
of the backup is the speed of the slower device + a small overhead.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Multiple copies option in Netbackup

 

Hello Geeks ,

 

 

Good Day !!

 

I have few questions in mind about the multiple
copies option in Netbackuo

 

 

1) Does both copies start parallely ?

2) How can one start the copy 2 if it fails
after successful copy 1 ?

3) WHat is better SLP or Multiple copies
 ?

 

I guess SLP uses the image already made
to duplicate but multiple copies is just like backup so putting double
load on client and backup windows will also increase ?

 

 

 

Please clear me on this.

2) Upgrade master to 6.5
3) Upgrade media to 6.5
4) Decommison media server and move all media to master server.
5) Recover the catalog to new server with a different name.( win2k8 box)

Hi,

1) Have you installed BMR package and then created the BMR database? NBU 6.5.4 
is the min version supporting BMR for master server running on RHEL5.
Download the BMR and BBS packages from the link below. You can install these 
directly.

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=contentid=TECH71200

2) No, it does not. You can use any system providing DHCP service. By the way, 
you don't need to hava a boot server in physical. Boot server running in a VM 
is supported.

3) You need to upgrade also BMR to 6.5.5 so it doesn't matter you perform it 
now or later.

You need to have a Windows boot server in order to leverage BMR for Windows 
based systems. Again, it can be VM. Instructions are clearly defined in BMR 
Admin Guide and it's a straihtforward procedure.

Wonder if its worth deleting the drives from the Server (within

again?
 
In regards to the missing drives, any power or cabling issues? Is it 
happening to one single drive all the time or the same 
drive.

Hello Geeks,
Need help on one issue.

We have a catalog of aroung 250 gb.Its on a F drive which is coming from 
SAN.This drive is composed of 3 luns.
Now for DR purpose we want the data to copy from this drive to another drive 
that will be composed of a single lun of 300 Gb.
Now we used a robocopy method to copy this data:-But this has  a bug that it 
does not retain the compression of files.

2010-07-07 Thread pranav batra

Hello,

http://support.veritas.com/docs/316845 
Restore
 and duplications from the OpenStorage disk option need not use the same media 
server that wrote the backup image.  This is by design as NetBackup is trying 
to use the media server with the least load, in accordance with Media Server 
Load Balancing strategy. 


Now my question is:-
If for a single LSU,we select to use multiple media servers:-Will the backup 
use the media server with least load ??
do we have this thing documented anywhere ?

Thanks and Regards

[Veritas-bu] VSP versus VSS

2010-06-01 Thread pranav batra


Hello Geeks,
I have a small question on VSP/VSS.
As symantec recommends VSS for 2003 clients over VSP then why  it is the 
defauly snap-shot provider option ?
Any specific reason for this recommendation as i can't find any tech note 
specifying why VSS:
They all just explain that VSS is for 2003 and VSP for 2000.I agree but why?
What happened two weeks ago:-There are our two cluster server and both got hung 
while getting backed up.We are still looking for the root cause but couldn't 
find yet...The thing we suspect is that they were using VSP and when we changed 
snapshot provider to VSS( As they are 2003) ,backups and server both running 
fine from 2 weeks and didn't hung once.
Does VSP plays some part in making the server hung?What could be the possible 
reasons?Does VSP plays some part in making the CPU utilisation high?
==Please 
provide me any valuable information on this.
Thanks in advance!!


Thanks and Regards

Pranav Batra

[Veritas-bu] VSP making server hung.

2010-05-20 Thread pranav batra

Hello,
There is one windows 2003 server and we are taking it's backup via VSP .What we 
have found that in last couple of weeks that when ever tha backup starts the 
server gets hung.
PS:-We have adequate free space in all of the drives.When i changed snapshot 
from VSP to VSS:-It started working fine.
Though i know that VSS is recommended for 2003 servers but we were using VSP 
since long and thuis server hang issue is very new.
Please explain as i am a bit confused between VSP and VSS.
Does VSP play any part in making the server hung?Does VSP deletes the 
nbu_vsp_cache after the reboot of the server ?Or it's something else that ia 
making the server hung ?
Please clear me on this.



Thanks and Regards

The Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) is a Microsoft product that
is built into Windows (2003+). It functions similarly to the Veritas Snapshot
Provider (VSP) in that it allows you to backup open files on a volume.  VSS
is recommended for 2003, but both should function.  I would try the
following.

 

1 – run chkdsk /f on the drive with the issue, disk
corruption can kill a shadow copy

2 – reinstall the NetBackup client and Maintenance Pack
(reboot if requested)

3 – Make sure there is enough free space on the drive you
are writing the vsp cache too (configured on master server)

 

VSP has known issues in older versions of NetBackup. That
vsp_cache file is a known issue if a backup fails unexpectedly.  You can
use process explorer to release the handle and delete it manually, or manually
delete it after rebooting.

Hi Pranav Batra,

 

Here i have a master server solaris and 3 media servers solaris,
in my day to day work I use windows but I don’t use the nbu java client, in my
windows desktop I have a X server like Xming server, and do a export display on
the master server for my Desktop like this:

 

# export DISPLAY=mydesktopiphere:0.0

 

And start a jnbSA on master server to open the administration
console on my desktop.

 

I think on ubuntu you do the same and its work fine.

 

Thanks

[Veritas-bu] Backup exec catalog query?

2010-02-25 Thread pranav batra

Hello All,

 

I am new to backup exec as i have always worked on Netbackup and Netapp.

I have given new responsibility to handle few servers getting backed up by 
backup exec 9.1.

 

I have finally stabled the environment by creating jobs and media labels.

 

Now i was thinking of how to take a catalog backup as we do in netbackup.

I have created jobs to run from Mon-Sun.

 

Mon-Fri:-Incremental

Sat-Sun-Full.

 

I am using Dell PV122t-LT02 with IBM-Ultrium drive and 8 slots.

 

Now suppose my server got crashed after my full backup completes:-Then i can 
make the servers up and restore all the data from last full backup.But what 
about the previous backups:-As if do i need to import all the tapes to prepare 
the catalog again or is there any other way?

 

Let me know.

 

 



Thanks and Regards

[Veritas-bu] Storage life cycle policy query.

2010-02-25 Thread pranav batra

Hello All,

 

 

We have setup a SLP for the duplication of images to diffrent storage units.

 

We are taking a backup on Disk them duplicating it to another disk at diffrent 
location and then to tape at same location.

 

My question is that this all is a very time consuming process.

 

As first backup goes to disk one:-to tape.Then duplication starts to disk2 and 
then 

 

Is there any way to run both the duplication process simentaneously when the 
backup to disk 1 completes.

 

I mean when backup to disk 1 done: -Can the duplication run on idsk2 and tape 
simentaneously.

 

We are using OST option but it is not offrening us the D2D2T option.

 

Could somebody put some more light on it?

 

 



Thanks and Regards
