[Veritas-bu] Backup Archive and Restore taking forever on DR server

I'm at a DR exercise. I've installed, patched, configured NBU and successfully imported a catalog. I'm in Backup, Archive Restore and using the Directory Structure pane to drill down to the files I want to restore. I'm restoring files to an alternate server than the one where the original files

My apologies, I should have added that. In my live environment, I have two servers: ziggurat - Master/Media RHEL4 obelisk - media RHEL4 For DNS I'm just relying on the /etc/hosts file as I'm only trying to recover 5 systems. The source system that I'm restoring from is not here, not have we

Hmm ... relying on could be a problem. Are the systems configured to use DNS first ... a DNS that is not there? Every host name resolve has to wait while a DNS request or two (secondaries) times out? If DNS server is not available, remove resolv.conf and check the hosts: line of

It also sounds like a name resolution problem. You could put an entry for Server-A pointing to the recovery server's IP address in hosts. Probably would be easier to just fix the name resolution issue as when you go to the next server you will most likely have the same problem. Good luck!

Another thought: If this is version 7.0.1, there is a hostname caching 'feature' now in NetBackup (Which I do NOT like, Symantec!!!). It caches the IP for each host configured in NBU and sometimes this can result in the incorrect IP being tied to the hostname. The default TTL for this cached

Definitely sounds like hostname resolution problems to me too. If all of the hosts you want to talk to are in your /etc/hosts, removing DNS completely sounds like a good option. The NBU GUI still seems to want to chatter with every host it knows about, so if you remove DNS from resolv.conf, or

You can keep the Java UI from trying to reach out to all hosts when you hit Host PropertiesClients by changing or adding the following parameter in the setconf.bat file: SET FORCE_IPADDR_LOOKUP=0 I'm not sure what, if any, setting there is for the Win Admin Console. Rusty Major, MCSE, BCFP,

[Veritas-bu] PureDisk vs. DataDomain

Hi all, My employer is requesting I evaluate PureDisk and DataDomain for de-duplication. While I can setup a demo of each and get the numbers, and ask the sales guys what makes them great and why their competitors aren't, I can't trust that is nothing more than sales drivel. So, I ask you expert
