I'm pretty sure NBU 6.5 doesn't support any kernel earlier than 2.4. You appear to have an ancient 2.2 multiprocessor kernel. I'm assuming the version you posted is what is showing up in your uname -a output? 2.4 kernel was pretty much replaced by 2.6 kernel around 2006/2007 and only God

I can't speak to your specific linux kernel and I did not test with 6.5, but I specifically keep an old 5.1 master around to pickup my legacy 3.x and 4.5 NetBackup clients. In my testing, compatibility with 6.0 MP4 was mixed. Some older clients would work, others failed completely. The whole thing

LOL I had my old 3.4 server since 2001 and clients 3.4 Some were still working on the old 5.1 up until last year. I still have 5.1 clients running under 7.0.0 -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf

No clue. When I started here 5 years ago we were running 5.1 in production. I've handled the 6.0, 6.5, and soon 7.0 upgrades. I setup the legacy 5.1 master to pick up a bunch of orphaned clients from a dead 4.5 master another group managed. Occasionally while cleaning out an old storage closet, I

[Veritas-bu] SSO tape drives Windows

2011-03-02 Thread Donaldson, Mark
A couple versions back, both versions of OS versions of NetBackup, there were problems SSO sharing tape drives with Windows boxes. While officially supported many people reported problems with device ownership. Windows was somewhat grabby and liked to possess shared devices rather than happily

I've tried it (Linux RHEL master) with some SAN media server types running Windows. I've had mixed success, but I'm suspecting it's a configuration issue. My setup scrambles the tape inventory, so I get a horde of frozen tapes because it gets mismatched between what it thinks is the right

We have a media/master server in production at the datacenter and are preparing to stand up a single media server in the office. Each will have their own library. What is the best method to utilize our off-site tape vaulting from the datacenter, for the office? In the past we've rsync'd a few

For all of our remote offices, we are about to roll out NBU 7 media servers with no tape, but an internal disk storage unit. The backups will be written to this disk, deduplicated, then replicated back to a deduplicated storage unit at the main data centre, where they can potentially be duplicated
