[Veritas-bu] Sharing a library

We have an SL8500 that will be sharing applications (NetBackup and Quantum Storage Manager). The Quantum will be using 9840D tape drives and NetBackup will use LTO4, and we are not hard partitioning the library. The tapes for the different apps have different barcode schemes. The NBU tapes all

[Veritas-bu] Sun T2000 for media server

Has anyone deployed Sun T2000's for media servers? We will be deploying one for a small backup environment that will have a pair of LTO4 drives and a NAS attached DSU. Is there any specific tuning anyone has done with a T2000 media server? Thanks, Harry S. Atlanta

[Veritas-bu] Netbackup media type behavior

Does NBU have the capability to use multiple media types in the same drive based on policy? My example is a Sun T1 drive. There are two different types of tape available. A standard tape that holds 1TB/2TB compressed the Sport version which holds about 250gb/500gb. Depending on the data

[Veritas-bu] Anyone using Sun 7410 as a disk storage unit

I am getting ready to set up a small NBU environment and would like to use a Sun 7410 as a NAS attached disk storage unit off of the media server. Has anyone experimented with this setup before? Thanks, Harry S. Atlanta ___ Veritas-bu maillist -

[Veritas-bu] Jumping back into the NBU pool

I have not been a NBU engineer for about 3 years, but may be getting back into the mix soon with a small but useful setup. We have about 12 Solaris 3-4 Win2003 servers we need backed up that are on an isolated network. They will have pretty slender policies which will not require a whole lot of

Re: [Veritas-bu] Tapeless backup environments?

For on-demand type database backups, I had great success with setting up a simple SATA-based DSU which was seen by one of the media servers. It had a vault policy to dump it to tape after 4-5 days, then expire the DSU image. It worked out great for informix onbar log dumps especially... Harry S.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Shoe shining

Find out from the manufacturer what the minimum speed is that the drive needs to be running at before shoeshining (probably 50-60% of the max speed), then make sure you are streaming to that drive fast enough. Using a tool like iostat -xtc or MRTG graphing should give you an idea of how fast

If you are streaming to FC attached tape drives, you can monitor the FC ports to see throughput speeds on the switch as it streams from the media servers to the tape drives... - Harry -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf
