[Veritas-bu] ghost mediaDB entries
Hi Hope someone out there can help - I have a media server (NBU 5.1) with 3 ghost entries: # bpmedialist -l *NULL* 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 *NULL* 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 *NULL* 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 SS *NULL* 1 6 1175362587 1175456239 1206992239 0 92369117 47 47 8 9 0 512 1024 0 1443364 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 SS0008 *NULL* 1 6 1196512629 1196518394 1228054394 0 273012374 143 143 8 9 0 513 1024 0 4266357 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 These 3 lines only have 24 fields in stead of 25.

Not sure where it is set at but there is an option to backup the files that the symlinks point to instead of the symlink. Then on restores the actual files will be in your alternate restore path instead of symlinks that can't link.

Re: [Veritas-bu] New Installation: 6.0 MP4 or 6.5 MPx ?
We have a great relationship with NetBackup support folks and engineers. Much of this was built on the fact that when we upgraded from 5.1 to 6.0MP3we had a disaster on our hands. We're currently at 6.0MP5 today and relatively stable. We have conversations with them multiple times per week and they've been at our site a few times (their offices are only a few miles up the road). We're not a small site although we're far from their biggest customer and we have enough complexities thrown in regularly that make the engineers earn their pay. If I was starting fresh today, I'd go straight to 6.5.1. In fact, this is what we're going to on January 1, and we're basing this on our discussions with Symantec and what they know about our environment and their product (they obviously know about bugs that we don't since they may never have been seen by a customer even though they're present in the code base). This decision was not taken lightly, and the Symantec folks know they'll be onsite again if NBU doesn't perform as advertised. One of your requirements is a large RHEL environment so remember that NBU 6.5 is the *first* release to support ACLs on RHEL and also the *first* to support FlashBackup on Linux. The SAN Media Server license doesn't exist with 6.5 - it's now the Enterprise Client license and includes both the SAN Media Server and FlashBackup functionality. Since you're licensing this piece anyway, you may as well see if FlashBackups will speed up your backups.

Re: [Veritas-bu] New Installation: 6.0 MP4 or 6.5 MPx ?
Jeff, I would choose 6.5.1. Eventually in the future you will have to switch to higher rev of NetBackup. Why don't start right from the start? It will spare you time and headache of upgrading when to 6.5 and beyond eventually will hit EOL. I have 3 servers running 6.5 and one, since yesterday, 6.5.1. I upgraded from 6MP4 about 4 weeks ago. So far I have seen any problems other than usual error here or there. --Rajmund -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Cleverley Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2007 8:03 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] New Installation: 6.0 MP4 or 6.5 MPx ?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Veritas pricing guide

This could have swayed my decision of purchasing a NearStore towards a VTL. Other things may have changed also.

You may want to investigate the RETURN_UNASSIGNED_MEDIA_TO_SCRATCH_POOL parameter (vm.conf in pre-6.x and set via nbemmcmd on 6.x). It's a yes/no thing and will NOT return media to scratch if that's not where they came from.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Tapes not staying in Volume pools (NBU6.5)
Actually that is not true. I have 7 robots (6 VTL and 1 physical). I like to keep all the VTL robot tapes out of the scratch pool and it worked fine in NB 5.1. But since, I have went to 6.5, all unassigned tapes have ended in the scratch pool. Even when I assign the tape to the other pool, it will put an empty tape into the scratch pool. I was considering opening an ticket with Symantec about it, but it actually has turned out to be no big to have them all in the scratch pool so I have not said anything. I will even say that during the day, a unassigned tape within a pool has been sent back to the scratch pool WITHOUT actually ever being used. So, I think so cleanup program is actually doing it.

[Veritas-bu] VCB with Netbackup 6.5.1
I am running a pilot test of backing up the VMware VM's with VMWare VCB and Netbackup 6.5.1. I have a VCB server that is running VCB 1.1 and Netbackup 6.5.1 media server. This interfaces with Virtual Center to see the VM's . But so far the only way I can get this process to work is by having a client loaded on each VM. I thought that I had read that a client was not required on each VM when using VCB and Netbackup. The only time I see it connect to the VM client is to verify it's existence in the beginning, from there everything is done through the VCB proxy box. So why do I need to pay for a client on each of my VM's? Anyone had any experience with this? Is a client really needed on the VM's? +-- |This was sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [EMAIL PROTECTED] +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

In my previous job, we had this problem (and they probably still do). We were running on a Solaris-9 master server. We had over 1600 clients and over 1300 policies. The jobs were running 7x24. We upped the values in the /etc/system file to the maximum for what Paul pointed out below. All of this was of limited use as it would still hang up about once a week or so. The solution is to go to 6.x because of the new scheduler. --stuart liddle -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Justin Piszcz Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2007 10:15 AM To: Paul Keating Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 5.1 MP5 all jobs hanging Ahh yes he is using Solaris 8--definitely make sure you tune appropriately, with 10, most of the parameters are not needed.

Re: [Veritas-bu] VCB with Netbackup 6.5.1
Yes the client is needed. Snapshot Provider is now integrated into the 6.5 standard client. The old Advanced Client (Snapshot Provider) in 6.5.1 or 6.5.2 is the way and reason why NetBackup (Symantec) was the first to be able to integrate with VCB so quickly. It's virtually the same code they've been using for years, just a few tweaks to integrate the VMware commands to start and stop the vm. The question I still have is the pricing. In a Product Feature PPS Guild I had seen from this years Vision, it listed this as an Option. For me, in the past with, option with Veritas means more $$$. But remember the VMware client pricing model which has been discussed vigorously in this forum before. Example: ESX Server - 1+ Windows Guests (x number of installed NetBackup Clients) - You pay for only one client license. - 1+ Linux Guests (x number of installed NetBackup Clients) - You pay for only one client license. - 1+ Solaris Guests (x number of installed NetBackup Clients) - You pay for only one client license. Scott UlrichJU [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/19/2007 1:28 PM I am running a pilot test of backing up the VMware VM's with VMWare VCB and Netbackup 6.5.1. I have a VCB server that is running VCB 1.1 and Netbackup 6.5.1 media server. This interfaces with Virtual Center to see the VM's . But so far the only way I can get this process to work is by having a client loaded on each VM. I thought that I had read that a client was not required on each VM when using VCB and Netbackup. The only time I see it connect to the VM client is to verify it's existence in the beginning, from there everything is done through the VCB proxy box. So why do I need to pay for a client on each of my VM's? Anyone had any experience with this?

Re: [Veritas-bu] VCB with Netbackup 6.5.1
A NetBackup client does not need to be installed inside the virtual machine when using VMware Consolidated Backup with NetBackup 6.5.1. When using NetBackup's VMware integration, no NetBackup software needs to be installed anywhere on the ESX server. What type of error are you encountering? You mention that you are running VCB 1.1. VMware changed the default port that is used. VCB 1.1 uses port 443. This is discussed on page 9 of the NetBackup 6.5.1 for VMware documentation that can be found here: http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/293350 -George -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of UlrichJU Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2007 12:28 PM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] VCB with Netbackup 6.5.1 I am running a pilot test of backing up the VMware VM's with VMWare VCB and Netbackup 6.5.1.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Tapes not staying in Volume pools (NBU6.5)
John, If you are using special barcode sequence for the weekly backups then set up a barcode rule (inventory, advanced); otherwise, what is the problem with letting the tapes come from scratch and being put into the correct pool. They will be assigned by pool name and retention. NetBackup is a managed application: Either you manage it, or it manages you! Thanks, Rockey J.
