[Veritas-bu] Can we use NDMP storage unit to backup regular windows clients?

2006-01-25 Thread Sto Rage©
We have a master server that connects to a SL500 robot. The drives in the SL500 library are all directly conencted to a Netapp. We have been using this to backup the netapp over NDMP. So far so good. Can this setup be extended to backup widows clients? We are running version 6 of NBU. We want to av

You don't mention the server platform, but we've been warned (and found) that our Solaris servers need to be up to date on Kernel patches to avoid problems, just going to 5.1. I realise 6.0 is very different, but I suggest that at least if you use Solaris it is likely to still be true. William

We're in the process of moving from our 4.5FP8 system to 6.0MP1 (everythin new). The major problem we're seeing, are ERROR 41's as we start "loading up" the media servers. These would occur in batches and appear on the more heavily loaded media server. Any 6.0 environments out there experiencing t

I would recommend that 2Gb is probably not a large enough fragment size, as that's barely long enough for the drive to get up to speed. Figure 70MB/sec transfer rate (optimally), and your drive is stopping every 4 minutes (roughly). Add multi-plexing and that could be even more often, not to men

I had the same thing happen and got a solution from Veritas (excuse me, symantec). It is drastic but it does work. You need to know the tape ID and the pool number. install_path\volmgr\bin\vmquery.exe -deassignbyid 0 (that's a zero, use on a tape that is NOT a catalog) install_path\volmgr\bin
