Jamie, I did a lot of testing at one point trying to tune NetBackup for DSSU's, LTO2 and LTO3. I found that 1024 MB fragments would never even spin up the LTO3 drive. It would basically start to speed up, then it would slow down because it had to position for the next fragment. Total

---BeginMessage--- Cheers. Yeah I guess i just wrote rack by habit :) I could create a separate policy in netbackup and do RAW file backup of the voting disk. Its another thing to admin schedule etc but it may work. For the moment i have just done the following in my bpstart_notify.policy

RMAN can backup raw devices - we'll be doing that on our latest RAC installation on Linux (the earlier one was using OCFS filesystem but still had raw voting disk/OCR which is what prompted my question). For that matter so can NBU itself can backup raw devices without RMAN. We have some older

Can you see the media from the GUI (at the media section)? If no, you have to recreate the voldb. Email me to send you info. If yes, are you running the commands form a media server? If yes, run them with the –M master_server option or run them form the master server stefanos -Original

Chances are, the tape drives were busy. One of the things to check is to see if 1 one of the clients was running really, really slowly. Sometimes all it takes is for a NIC duplex to be mismatched, the client runs for days instead of hours, and you bang off the 196s. .../Ed On Feb 1, 2008
