Increasing the time out limit will be good, but might not really solve the error code 0 and 1. It will also depending on your application. Suggest you run thru the files, and see if they are critical files that encounter error 0 1. My experience with my customer is as such that the files

I'm guessing this is the case that because this is an IDS monitoring box the directories and files on that volume are constantly in use. I suppose then the raw backup will never work? You'll have to excuse my ignorance with windows clients but isn't VSP installed with the client software or do

These are indications of UNIX/Linux man (manual) pages. The (1M) and the (1) are sections of man. Typically 1 = User commands and 1M = administrative commands. However, it is somewhat arbitrary as to who defines what as what. For me most NetBackup commands are administrative as we don't have

Another vote for SSO. Whoever dedicated the 2 drives per server doesn't understand SSO. The person that suggested they were conservative was being too kind. The adjectives I would use for them would suggest they rode the short bus to school. -Original Message- From:

What you need with NBU 5.x is to get an Advanced Client license and use flashbackup on that client drive. It will then allow you to back it up. You will need a lot of cache space for NBU to use during the backup. I have one machine that has 2.5 TB of 3k files spread across 10 drives that I use

Not as yet. something i'll look at also. I have spoke to the App guy and it makes sense the drive can't be locked to do a raw backup as it will be constantly in use by the application. I'm a but stuck as to how to back this thing up now. cheers Donaldson, Mark wrote: Have you increased your

[Veritas-bu] What Is The Purpose For My Brocade Switch?

2009-07-01 Thread Will Tucker
I have 3 media servers and a NetApp filer connected via Fiber Cable to a Brocade 5000 series switch which is then connected to tape drives in an SL8500 tape library. What is the purpose for the Brocade switch? Do I need it, or can I just connect the media servers and NetApp filer directly to the

Re: [Veritas-bu] What Is The Purpose For My Brocade Switch?

2009-07-01 Thread Donaldson, Mark
Direct connect fiber is possible but there's no device sharing this way. This may not be an issue if you don't have SSO licenses. However, frankly, switches add flexibility for later changes - if I had a switch available to me, I'd use it even if I ended up with point-to-point zones built in

Will, You could connect directly, but then each tape drive would only be able to talk to the media server it's connected to. I'd guess that you are probably running Shared Storage Option- in order to take advantage of that you need some way to allow each tape drive to accept data from several

[Veritas-bu] SSO Option for LTO3 drives

I'll chime in here for SSO too- if you have it, then zoning drives to only one host is pointless and silly. We are using 3 media servers and 2 NetApp appliances attached to 6 LTO3 drives (soon to be 8 ) on a StorageTek l700 with SSO. All media servers can use all tape drives as can the
