Hi to all,
Has anyone installed a puredisk client on a cluster system?
I cannot find any information.
My thoughts are:
How to install the client at the cluster nodes and how to backup the cluster
resources.
Any info I can get will be useful.
Thanks
Stefanos
We are about to set up a system with a NBU SAN Media Server to give
the system direct access to tape drives
due to high throughput requirements.
I have not been able to find any documentation on how to install and
set up this. Is it so that we should perform
an ordinary media server installation

If the San Media, is going to talk to the Master Robot, then you will
need an SSO (Shared Storage Option) license as well.
Essentially, its the license file that is different. When you install
the software and prompted for the license key, enter this, then choose
MEDIA SERVER and follow the
Hi,
Yes the configuration is same as ordinary media server only the license
differ.by enabling this license you can create the storage unit for the
particular media server and take its SAN backup.

I've been asked what I think the national average is for backup
success. I recall hearing at one time that it was around 85-86% ...
What do you believe this to be?

Hi,
My side success rate is about +98%. As of now we are only on
Solaris/Redhat, Oracle and Oracle Applications only.

One of my customers has about 7,000 jobs per day and his failed jobs are 100

85% success is very bad ratio. Unless you have known problems to your

I used these folks years ago to get data off a corrupt hard drive and
send it to me on tape. Looking at their site today and a few times in
the past when the question has come up indicates they still do this kind
of work though I've not had the need in a long time. The site has a

I aim for 99% - In almost all cases, the system is setup to self
behave and re-try jobs if it has failed after a certain amount of
hours.
I have left a backup system for weeks, and it has been problem free.

Is it supported to move netbackup catalog on SPARC processor (Soalris

Cross-platform catalog moves are not supported. In this case you're going
I have also heard good things and have had one or two extensive
discussions with their engineers, they seem (have not tried them yet) but
from talking to them, they know all things netbackup and have tools to do
things you can't do with the regular NBU suite.

You may find its not supported (I think they refer to Symantec
Consultancy for this), but I had done one before on a Windows
environment, and although not supported at the time, it had worked for
me.

It acts much like a normal media server and you just do that, you just
have to get the license installed to allow it to be a SAN Media server.
As such it can only back itself up.
If you have direct attached drives you issue.
If you have a library - you can have some drives just used by that
We are in the process of replacing our STK 9310 (PowderHorn).
Does anybody have any experience (good AND bad) with large (+700 slots) robots
from following vendors:
HP
IBM
Spectra-Logic
Quantum
SUN (SL3000 in particular)
Thx.

You don't specify if your query is about all backups or about

My average is about 95% - failures due to Change Controls on the servers
- but the Netbackup retry configuration means that most of the time the
second try works. Some failures due to not getting it configured

Exp. w/ Sun SL8500s here, all redundant parts for the most part, works

Although people have noted on this list before that the ADIC i2000's work

The Sun SL3000 is good but if you have two robots and one of them gets

Actually if you think about it a SAN Media Server is no use as an FT Media
Server - as it cannot backup other clients. Strangely it could restore them as
SAN Media Servers are allowed to do alternate client restores...just not
backups.

Those who are watching their success rates are in the 90's. Those who are

The standalone tape drives does not need to integrate with the robot.
If the drive is attached to the master or media server you can add it to

Your real problem is do you know what tape your data is on?
If you do then you can use the standalone drive to import

You can import the LTO1 media (using the LTO3 drives, obviously) into the

have to import each tape until you find what you need. Before you insert

I must be missing something... I don't understand why you would want to
install a SAN media server but not configure it to send data over the SAN.
What are the benefits of backing up client X via a SAN media server, but
sending data over the LAN, versus backing up client X through a traditional
Load,
I have two servers with large data.
To have my normal media server do the backup would put a big load on it.
So you add more media servers
But media servers cost money
San media servers cost a little less.
So I put the load of backing up those two big servers on themselves.

Don't confuse the confusing names Symantec uses!

Because we backup machines that will be unavailable for periods of time, the

Items I find interesting:
- On Monday morning, what servers have not had a successful full backup

Not sure which OS you're running but on Unix/Linux try running...

And if you count partial successes as a success run
