[Veritas-bu] Issues with Oracle backup Netbackup 5.1

2010-05-12 Thread Sushil
All, I have been facing strange issues with some of the oracle database backups. Some days backup run successfully and some days its either long running or fails with error 54 or 6. We had a theory that it could be because all the tape drives were busy thats why backups were long running but

Sushil Status 54 means NetBackup could not communicate with the client. (In most cases timed out connecting to the client). As for 6, I see them when doing redo logs - If there is nothing to backup it fails with this code. In your case, I am not sure. bpbkar and backint logging should be

I don't see that at all - the switches and HBAs are SAN/Network technology that deal with the transport of data and aren't directly addressed by NetBackup per se. NetBackup compatibility should have to do with what OS they'll run on and what storage medium they'll work on - it should be up to the

As you said your first robot0 died I bet you did not get to eject the tapes from it. So NB still thought the tapes were in that library (look at media in gui and see it is assigned to a robot and a slot) What you needed to do is move all the tapes to standalone (media right click choose

First in the gui add the column to your view state details That will tell you why a job is not running. Could be you have on your storage unit, max drives, or max jobs and if those have been met then the job will queue. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu

I'm not familiar with the latest versions of NetBackup, but I don't think you can set these types of rules. If you have enough disk space to hold what you wanted to restore, I would create a new directory, do your restore there, then script something to put the files back the way you want them.
