Re: [Veritas-bu] Upgrading from 5.1MP5 to 6.1 in Unix env

Make sure you check the netbackup release notes to make sure that you have the required solaris 8 patches installed. Netbackup 6 is multithreaded and there is a solaris 8 patch for multithreading. Without this patch the netbackup installation will fail. Mark K

[Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6.x OpenAFS backup support

Symantec is currently evaluating adding official support for backing up OpenAFS (Andrew File System) with Netbackup 6.x. AFS backup support was dropped in NB6.x since Transarc AFS went EOL. NB5.1 apparently works fine with backing up OpenAFS since Netbackup is basically a front end for the

[Veritas-bu] SSO and Multiplexing Question

If I have maximum multiplexing set to 8 on one storage unit A, and 1 on another storage unit B that are sharing drives in SSO, then if a job starts to run using storage unit B will it only run one stream to the drive until that job has been completed? Basically I want to prevent multiplexing

[Veritas-bu] Enabling encrption

Guys: I thought I had done all I could to get encryption running on two clients. Running Sol10/6MP4 on the master. Clients for encryption are AIX 5.3 Done on the master: I added the encryption package with the script I ran the bpinst -ENCRYPTION command I ran the bpkeyutil -insert -clients

Re: [Veritas-bu] Enabling encrption

Guys: D'oh! I got a response asking about installing the key(s). Yes I have. I also forgot to mention that I have enabled encryption on the master for the two clients. Thanks for the speedy reply. Bill From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On

Re: [Veritas-bu] Quantum PX510 with Solaris 10, Netbackup 6

To set the record straight on this, I got a private email from a Quantum SE and this is what he said: On the PX510 (and the 502 and 506), you can either setup the library to have no CAP (load port, Import Export station, mail slots, etc), or up to 36 load port slots. The bottom left

Re: [Veritas-bu] SSO and Multiplexing Question

Jason, You're conclusion is correct as to the effect of disabling multiplexing, but I question your logic for doing so. Disabling multplexing does not maximize drive throughput during a backup. That is what Multiplexing is actually set up to do. I'm not a big numbers guy, so I'll let others

[Veritas-bu] tracking bpduplicate activity

Running NBU6 on Solaris 9. I am beginning to implement duplication of backups from the command line using the form # bpduplicate -backupid BID -dp poolname-rl 8 -dstunit stu_name I get the BID from bpimagelist. This seems to work well enough, but does anybody have any

Re: [Veritas-bu] SSO and Multiplexing Question

Thanks to all who responded. I should note that when I'm trying to maximize throughput on my drive we are backing up a SAN attached drive, not a client over the network, so I don't want the multiplexing to be the same as what we do per our LAN jobs. In the end I will probably end up doing multiple

Re: [Veritas-bu] SSO and Multiplexing Question

That's one nice thing about NBU: you can set different kinds of mpx for different kinds of jobs. Other products don't have this flexibility. A lot of people assume that just cause the drive's local, you don't have to multiplex. My experience shows that it just means you get to use a lower
