[Veritas-bu] Pre / Post Scripts on Backup Jobs with Streams - Revisit with 6.5.3

Hello all I wanted to revisit this problem, seeing as I am on 6.5.3 for clients and Master / Media / Windows 2003 SP2 Last time I had a problem on Oracle. Good news is, I dont need to this, but I do have a problem with an Oracle, Exhange and some file level systems while the AV is running and

Re: [Veritas-bu] Pre / Post Scripts on Backup Jobs with Streams - Revisit with 6.5.3

Hi, Use the bpstart_notify and bpend_notify scripts to do this. On each client make a: bpstart_notify.bat bpend_notify.bat located in C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin catalog Insert your NET STOP and NET START command in the script files ( bpstart_notify.bat should contain the NET STOP

Re: [Veritas-bu] Pre / Post Scripts on Backup Jobs with Streams- Revisit with 6.5.3

2 things. The parent_end/start only runs on the master server. So if you use that you will have to script it to run the command over on the client. The bpstart/end runs on the client but - will run for each job on the client. - you can make it bpstart_notify.policy.schedule .bat so it

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP Restore to alternate vendor filer

Did you miss the thread I was replying to? I was thinking out loud because someone wanted to transfer from a EMC Celera to a NetApp filer. It seemed one way to do it that would avoid worrying about formats is to use NBU's duplication mechanisms to do the transfer. -Original Message-

Simon, We use the following pre post scripts. Its not been tested at 6.5.3 but should work i think ! bpstart_notify basically shuts stuff down in stream 1 and all other streams wait till stream1 lock file disappears. bpend_notify identifies which is the last stream to complete and

[Veritas-bu] NDMP authentication failing for NetApp.

Greetings, I'm trying to get a remote NDMP backup connection going between my new 6.5.3 RHEL master and one of our NetApp filers (7.2.5.1). We have a non-root account on the filer (ndmpuser) and have given it a password. This has been used by Operations Manager in the past with no problems.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP authentication failing for NetApp.

Run tpautoconf -verify ndmp_host_name and verify that access is granted Its located in /usr/openv/volmgr/bin If it failes, enable ndmp debugging on the filer (ndmpd debug 50), and re-run Check the filer's ndmps log (generally in //filername/$/etc/ndmpd.log) for clues. -

Re: [Veritas-bu] Pre / Post Scripts on Backup Jobs with Streams- Revisit with 6.5.3

Hi Kenneth I used to do this on 5.1 - the problem I found is that for a client, if it has 3 streams running, the command will STOP the AV, which is great :-) But if a stream finishes before the other 2 streams have completed, then the bpend script would restart the AV - That was BEFORE all streams
