To add The F:\ volume is 521gb with 134gb used. Does this mean the raw backup is 134gb or 521 as i dont want it filling tape unnecessarily. Ideally i'd like to do the mount point option and have a policy backing up the mount point of the problem dirs e.g F:\nic\lsnode but i dont know how

Thanks for the info Bryan. I have just changed the file path to \\.\F: and ran a test and i'm still getting 'WRN - can't lock raw device for read: \\.\F: (F:) (Win32 5: Access is denied. ) I take it there's not other flash ways without advanced client license. Cheers Bryan Bahnmiller wrote:

You're not going to do it without partitioning the library. Hints in another thread suggest it might be possible by using a another software package as an interface but stock Netbackup will limit you to having a library connected to one, and only one, master server. The Master Server holds

Do you have the Veritas open file agent installed and have you rebooted? Are you running the latest service pack for whatever version client? I backup far more than 1.4 million files here on single Windows 2000 systems with and without Flashbackup without issue. -Jonathan -Original

[Veritas-bu] SSO Option for LTO3 drives

2009-06-30 Thread David Turner
I have 1 windows master running Netbackup 6.5 with 3 media servers. I have Storagetek/Sun SL8500 with 8 LTO3 tape drives (2 drives are dedicated via NDMP to a Netapp 3050). All drives are connected via FC to brocade etc. we have the Shared storage option but I don't think it's working properly.

2009-06-30 Thread Donaldson, Mark
If a drive is visible to one and only one server because of zoning , then SSO isn't necessary. SSO is used to share a single drive among multiple media servers. Each server uses it in turn but then releases it after use to be used by a different server. While you may be licensed for SSO, what

The shoe-shining issue is resolved by enabling multiplexing on your backups. By having multiple jobs writing to the same tape, the tape doesn't have any idle time to shoe shine your drive. I have 2 tape libraries, both with 12 drives a piece. All 24 drives and 2 robots are presented to my 1

I agree if you are only zoning each drive to one media server the SSO is not needed. However! If those two drives fail - bad tape - bad whatever and are down then that media server has NO tape drives avail. I have 18 tape drives and have zoned all 18 to all of them to all 4 of my media

I should also add, that even though I have 18 drives avail to each server, the number of drives used at one time is still based on policy and which storage unit it uses ( as you set how many tape drives are in a storage unit.) So serverA zoned to all 18 drives. Storage unit is 2 drives at a

I think the reboot question is valid based on the can't lock raw device for read message. If some other entity is preventing NBU from gaining access to the device that entity has to be kicked off somehow. Another option would be run a 'chkdsk /f /r' against that volume. That will typically

The way I understand SSO, is if you're using anything more complicated than a stand alone tape drive, then you need SSO (I could be totally incorrect here, this is me trying to summarize SSO in 20 words or less). This isn't the case. SSO is used to share a single tape drive among multiple
