[Veritas-bu] Up-conversion / bpduplicate question.

Hi all, When you up-convert, do you up-convert based on media ID or image ID? When you bpduplicate tapeA - tapeA2, tapeB is also included if its part of a multiplexed stream. If you duplicate by image it seems safer/better, comments? Justin. ___

Re: [Veritas-bu] Up-conversion / bpduplicate question.

Hi, Yes I realize that, thanks =) I'm just curious which people duplicate by tape ID or image, even though the tape ID does look at the images.. Justin. On Thu, 6 Jan 2011, Patrick wrote: NetBackup only duplicates based on image, even if you specify a media id, it looks at the images on

[Veritas-bu] Client not being seen in network tree

I have NBU 6.5 running on Windows Server 2003. I have had this problem in the past and I have racked my brain trying to remember, but to no avail. I am trying to add a new server within the new corresponding policy, but when I select the Clients tab and try to add the client server it does

Re: [Veritas-bu] Client not being seen in network tree

Check for the computer browser service on the client and also turn off firewall for testing purpose. But can't we just type the server name in the clients tab. On Thu, Jan 6, 2011 at 6:24 AM, McDonald, James F. II james.f.mcdonald...@saic.com wrote: I have NBU 6.5 running on Windows Server

[Veritas-bu] Netbackup media server question

Hi, I have a quick question regarding configuration of a Netbackup Media Unix server. Basically, I have an underlying issue with the presentation of a zoned ADIC tape drive to a Solaris 10, T5220 media server which im currently working on (if anyone knows how to get Solaris to see the zoned

OK - First - I know name change and IP changes is strongly discouraged for master server without consulting services so please do not simply respond with that. Despite the above we did successfully move from one HP-UX master to another with a different name back on 4.5 and simply set our

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup media server question

You are not saying whether or not you are sharing tape drives or robots. My best practice is to only have a robot visible to one media server, regardless of how many media servers might have access to the tape drives. Some of Quantum's libraries actually present a problem here if you also want

Re: [Veritas-bu] Up-conversion / bpduplicate question.

I just completed about a six-month project of LTO2-LTO5 conversion. I did all the duplications off image-lists. I used VolSer scans (bpimmedia) to strategically pick blocks of images to do at a time. I had a collection of scripts to process the resultant image list and determine what tapes

Thanks Jim / Jeffc for the replies, i'll go with your advice and only have the 1 robot available to 1 media server. I had no problem installing on Redhat but will continue my Solaris investigations. I'll read the admin guide but I presume after the tape drives are presented to the media server

Re: [Veritas-bu] Mixed Backup Policies.

Dear Mr Ed. Sorry my mistake Ex. ERP_MON Tapes are using  ENC_ERP_MON Volume pool. .. . Library Slot #1      WIN_MON Tapes are using ENC_WIN_MON Volume pool. … Library Slot #10 and so on. This sounds really odd.  Why would you tie a slot to a volume pool? It is not a Volume Pool. It is a

Re: [Veritas-bu] Mixed Backup Policies.

Netbackup can store images from any policy type in the same volume pool, and even on the same physical media. You don't need to divert your Windows and Unix backups to different volume pools unless that is a business requirement. I use volume pools in my environment to differentiate media

Re: [Veritas-bu] Mixed Backup Policies.

Dear Martin, Thanks for the reply. Earlier we was performing the Unix backup's only. Recently we have started doing Windows backup. So not to disturb existing setup, we have created new volume pools for new backups I got the point.. I will merge the Volume Pools accordingly. Thanks a lot..
