Re: [Veritas-bu] Quickest way to restore servers

Actually, the scenario he lays out is exactly the scenario where using mpx'd restores actually helps. It will allow the tape drive to stream during the restore just like during the backups. I've done this many times, and there is no penalty. I would fire every one of the 100 restores at the

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP and SSO in NetBackup 6.0 [NC]

Gilles, I am not 100% sure of this, I believe tape.reservations scsi is required. I would suggest that, since this is an option in the NetApp OS not a NetBackup option, that you check NetApp's support to see if that option is needed for drive sharing. Thank you, Mike Heck Customer Focus Team

[Veritas-bu] 5.1 MP6

Has anyone had problems installing MP6 on 5.1 on HP-UX? I have installed on two of our five successfully, but the other three either fail, or fail to start after a successful install. Any clues would be appreciated. Regards, Patrick Whelan NetBackup Specialist (Contractor) COLT Telecom Architect

Re: [Veritas-bu] 5.1 MP6

I have not but in Linux when upgrading sometimes if you check the installation log (/tmp/..some_file_here..) it will show you what it failed on, in many cases, the make_scsi_dev script was running and if you tried to remove it you will get text file busy-- one work-around is to move it out of

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP and SSO in NetBackup 6.0 [NC]

Hi Mike, Effectively, there is nowhere this information on Symantec site. If this is a prerequisite, Symantec would have to give this information on a document. For me until now , this is not a prerequisite but I'm not sure, and I don't know if my Netapp's contact know about this. I will ask

[Veritas-bu] set_ndmp_attr question

I see there's been a wave of NDMP questions lately, so I thought I'd join in too. I'm trying to set up NDMP 3-way backups with NetApp filers. I've successfully configured the primary filer, but I keep receiving Status 99 errors for the 3rd party filer. The detailed status shows: Error bptm

I'm trying to figure out the bpduplicate command (NBU 6.0 on Solaris). How can I determine the acceptable values for -dstunit? It's where you want to have the data written. Any dstunit you have defined should be valid. This would allow you to pick a particular media server or volume type

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP and SSO in NetBackup 6.0 [NC]

While I agree with the last poster that it's probably not documented, I do believe it's required. NetApp was required to support scsi reserve/release before this feature would work. I'm guessing from your question that they made this an optional feature on that NetApp. If you don't turn this

Hi Dale, Atleast two more tape drives are needed in my opinion. I'd feel more confortable with 6. Just due to restores, slow clients, failures etc. Is that 2TB for a Full weekend backup ? What are the nightly incrementals ? The problem you'll have is that windows clients tend to pump out about

[Veritas-bu] Driver issue?

I have a quantum super loader 3 attached to a SUN v250 running solaris 8, which is the master server. Backups start up just fine and it starts writing. Then after about 12-15gb the backup fails with an 84 media write error and it freezes the tape. This happens on several different tapes (lto3).
