Jack, What happens then when a tape drive attached to the Media Server fails ? All clients backing up to this Media Server will have a failed backup. Or do you select Any Available as option for the Policy storage unit in the policies attributes ? Best Regards, Bart WALLEBROEK

[Veritas-bu] New oracle backup planning

2007-10-26 Thread Deiter, Scott
We will be migrating a very large database application to a platform running redhat and oracle. So to use rman backups with veritas netbackup I'm assuming we only need the redhat client/licenses and veritas oracle agent licenses. We will be at version 6.4 by the time this migration takes place.

Hmmm.. I need to look into this further. I could have sworn that it stores a checksum per file backed up, and that it used that checksum when it restored the file to see if the restored file is the same as the backup. I wonder if we can get an authoritative answer on this from a Symantec

You're absolutely right. Of course, every time you copy data, you face a similar risk. Every single time you copy data from one device to another, multiple levels of CRC/ECC are used to make sure that the target copy is the same as the source copy, and there is a chance (however small) every

6.0 MP5 has two significant bugs that I know of: 1. Compressed catalogs cannot be read when browsing backups to be restored: You have to open a support case and get a new bpdbm binary. 2. NDMP backups fail if you have tuned Netbackup with NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS. You have to open a support

Well, I'd say got to 6.0 MP5 (not MP4) since it addresses some issues in MP4, specifically things we've had issues with. I'm always very hesitant to move to any new software version of any product, be it Netbackup or anything else. But with Netbackup I've learned not to touch it until at least

Normally I would agree with the wait until mp2 scenario, but this is not a .0 release...this is still built on the 6.0 platform. Not only that, after the issues with 6.0 I know that Symantec took extra precaution with this release. That being said, I have come across three bugs so far with 6.5.

It's unclear whether you're asking about an OS-level SCSI reserve that NetBackup doesn't know about, but assuming SSO and a SCSI reserve that NetBackup actually set, you want /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmdareq, like so: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/openv/volmgr/bin [9] vmdareq -display -D P2R0E2-9940b-05

I was under the impression, from Symantas sales folks, that 6.5 essentially *was* 6.0 MP5, without any real feature adds. Did that change somewhere along the way? (As it happens, we're planning a hop from 5.1MP5 to 6.5 soon...) -- gabriel rosenkoetter Radian Group Inc, Unix/Linux/VMware

6.5 is being consider a new release, however 6.5 is using the same database as 6.x so there is no database merge as with 5.x to 6.x. From what I understand the install is rather painless, and runs thru very much the same way as a MP install did. Symantec has changed the way they are labeling

Gabe, NetBackup 6.5 is huge feature release, not a Maintenance Pack for NBU 6.0. NBU 6.5 adds things like SAN Client, a new Open Disk API for better support of Storage and VTL's. When PureDisk 6.5 comes out, it will support PureDisk media servers, etc. It is a huge feature release.
