Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP backup question

2006-03-15 Thread andrew . x . smith
If you are using an NDMP storage unit on the solaris host you must specify the drive path as hostname:/dev/rmt/Xcbn not just /dev/rmt/Xcbn as this is how NBU knows what is and what is not an NDMP dedicated drive (Im assuming u arent on NBU 6 which allows drives to be in both NDMP and standard

[Veritas-bu] Weird exclude behaviour

2006-03-15 Thread Dave Markham
Has anyone seen it before when you have something in an exclude list but it still attempts to back it up? This particular service is Solaris 8 running netbackup 5.0 mp5s2 mostly backing up solaris clients but with a few windows2000 clients. I keep getting status 1 for windows clients due to this

RE: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup and VXSS

Hi All. I have installed VxSS NOM on my W2K Master server. Not much of a problem, if you leave it there and don't move to implement Access Management. NOM is not really so great, it is most of the time incorrect and will not work it isn't patch to MP1. If Veritas decided to work more on NOM,

RE: [Veritas-bu] LTO 1 recovery using LTO 2 drive.

2006-03-15 Thread Paul Keating
It's not really that hard and fast of a rule Netbackup doesn't know hcart from hcart2 or hcart3, but whatever type the drive is must match the configured type of the tape. If the tape is hcart3 and the drive is hcart2 (regardless of LTO gen) it's gonna complain. If you've replaced all of your

Hi. We are testing the NB 5.1 Flashbackup Advanced Client feature and it is working well. When attempting to perform a restore of the Flashbackup data the files within the java gui window have a red circle with a slash icon next to each file name. I was thinking that this icon might mean

[Veritas-bu] Observed throughput of NBU on Sun V490?

2006-03-15 Thread Larry Fahnoe
Hello, For anyone who is running Sun V490 media servers, what sorts of tape throughput numbers are you seeing? It would also be very helpful to know what types of tape I/O adapters are used for the numbers you provide. I'm trying to get a sense of real world performance on these boxes, and from

[Veritas-bu] Identifying vault duplication tapes

2006-03-15 Thread Eagle, Kent
NB 5.1 MP3 W2K Master Media servers. I've got a couple clients that write their primary copy to disk. There are a couple different policies that do this. We've got an early am off-site requirement that precludes waiting until we run our am vault eject profiles to do the duplication. So, what

If it is a UNIX server like Solaris, the messages file may give you some information about the drive that had the error. There is also a error file in netbackup/db/media that logs the drive index and tape number. Carl Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2006 15:44:14 -0600 From: Sixbury, Dan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Veritas-bu] Backup vs Archive

I'm looking from some data that is 3 years old, of some servers that were supposedly archived to tape way back when by no one knows who. The backup catalog for this time period shows none of these servers, and if I run them through the Restore application those servers return no records. Does

RE: [Veritas-bu] Backup vs Archive

If it was archived, ie the bparchive command, then the restore list commands needa -A to search these images. Annoying, IMO. If it as just backed-up with a long retention, a much more reasonable definition of archive, then standard restore methods apply. bpimagelist might be a good tool
