Well at a guess I would re-apply the Emulex driver to the HBAs. Go into device manager, right click on the HBA, and ask to Update Driver. If you tell it to look in /windows/system32 for the driver it may find it, without you needing the CD. Excuse me being a bit vague, I have not tried

[Veritas-bu] Database backup scheduling with different retentions

2006-01-19 Thread Austin Murphy
Does anyone have any insight on how to do scheduled weekly/monthly/yearly backups (with commensurate retention periods) of an MSSQL or Oracle database with Netbackup? I am running 5.1 MP3 on Solaris 9 and just found out that the database policy schedules don't work the same way as the file policy

RE: [Veritas-bu] Database backup scheduling with different retent ions

2006-01-19 Thread Mark . Donaldson
I can answer for Oracle - I assume that the MSSQL would be similar. When your RMAN script runs, it sends data to the Netbackup Oracle agent. The agent, in turn, sends the data onto a Netbackup media server, to a particular policy schedule. In the RMAN script, you can specify the NB_ORA_POLICY

In researching some answers to the original post I was reminded that most Oracle backups use an infinite retention level with RMAN managing the actual retention level. Does this ring any bells for anyone else, or am I getting senile in my old age. Regards, Patrick Whelan NetBackup Specialist

You could use 3 policies, depending on your requirements, with calendar based schedules. For example, 1 policy might be weekly and specify all Saturdays of a month except for the first (and manually exclude dates in future years that will have the yearly backup). The 2nd policy might be

The RMAN script can specify two variables, NB_ORA_POLICY NB_ORA_SCHED. To direct a rman backup to a specific schedule in a policy, just set the latter. Just found this from Veritas: http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/261087.htm They're answering just this question. -M -Original

Andrew, This is very normal and it's ok. Basically as long as the last value in the path IS NOT a link, netbackup will backup the path properly. So, if you have say your db dir mounted to some really big fs as /nbu_db and it's linked to /usr/openv/netbacup/db, don't specify
