[Veritas-bu] while nb 7.0.1on windows 2003 standart sp2 is it supported to windows 2003 enterprise sp2 r2
Hello All; I have the master server with windows 2003 sp2 standard edition. I need to upgrade it to windows 2003 enterprise sp2 r2. Netbackup 7.01 is running on this system.

[Veritas-bu] bpbackup and socket read error (23)
Thanks for the replies Len and Wayne, I fixed it! I went through quite a few things before doing a reverse lookup from the master server to the client - which failed. So I checked DNS and found that the reverse pointer record was missing. I'm not sure how that's happened but now I've added it and everything is fine :) Thanks again for all of your suggestions! Now if I could just figure out why Windows 7 has disabled my graphics card... +-- |This was sent by andrew.braithwa...@evotec.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
[Veritas-bu] Backup hangs on the directory with 1.5 million files in it (syntax for the exclude_list)
Dear Gurus, Apologies for the beginner's question... I have noticed from looking at the bpbkar log that the backup hangs on the directory which has 1.5 million files in it (client is RHEL 5.2 with NetBackup 6.5, server is RHEL 5.5 with NetBackup 6.5.6) . ls -al /my/huge/dir takes 3-4 hours, the file system is GFS which makes it even slower. No surprise that NetBackup is having trouble. I am trying to exclude the problematic directory from the backup and added /my/huge/dir/* to /usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_list. I'd like to avoid reading this huge list of files but this doesn't achive the purpose. Please see the last lines from bpbkar log : 12:28:41.917 [3560] 4 bpbkar: INF - Excluded /my/huge/dir/file_aaa by exclude_list entry /my/huge/dir/* 12:28:41.933 [3560] 4 bpbkar: INF - Excluded /my/huge/dir/file_aaan by exclude_list entry /my/huge/dir/* 12:28:41.943 [3560] 4 bpbkar: INF - Excluded /my/huge/dir/file_aaab by exclude_list entry /my/huge/dir/* 12:28:41.948 [3560] 4 bpbkar: INF - Excluded /my/huge/dir/file_aaac by exclude_list entry /my/huge/dir/* 12:28:41.959 [3560] 4 bpbkar: INF - Excluded /my/huge/dir/file_aaaz by exclude_list entry /my/huge/dir/* 12:28:41.969 [3560] 4 bpbkar: INF - Excluded /my/huge/dir/file_aaag by exclude_list entry /my/huge/dir/* 12:28:55.288 [3560] 16 bpbkar: ERR - bpbkar killed by SIGPIPE 12:28:55.289 [3560] 16 bpbkar: ERR - bpbkar FATAL exit status = 40: network connection broken 12:28:55.289 [3560] 4 bpbkar: INF - EXIT STATUS 40: network connection broken 12:28:55.289 [3560] 4 bpbkar: INF - setenv FINISHED=0 It looks like bpbkar is trying to go through each and every file in /my/huge/dir and trying to make a decision on each file individually.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup hangs on the directory with 1.5 million files in it (syntax for the exclude_list)
Why not just do /my/huge/dir No trailing slash or wildcard. It ignores the directory, not the files in it.

There was a note that it was still broke on 7.0, suppose to be fixed in 7.0.1. I just upgraded my dfs server to 7.0.1 and did my first backup last night without turning it off. Seems the DFSR may now be in the Shadow copy Components part. I have a call out to get more info and understanding on how this is working. Right now my backup is at 800 gb and still running for the SCC's job. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Justin Piszcz Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2010 11:20 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 6.5.x or 7.0(?) for Windows 2008 R2 64-bit + DFSR.

If the client was originally installed with VSP as the snapshot provider (the default), a reboot WILL be required to remove it. If it was installed without VSP, then a reboot is not required. With VSP installed now, you'll need to uninstall, reboot, then install and tell it NOT to use VSP.

[Veritas-bu] Setting up FT on SAN attached /usr/openv

My OS in running on internal storage, but I built a LUN on the SAN and presented it to each system and mounted it as /usr/openv so I could dynamically grow the disks if need be. If I disconnect all my HBAs from the SAN, I lose access to the partition where NBU is running which means I can't run the commands to setup FT.

I personally performed such 'so called' upgrade on a Windows master/media server to leverage GRT functionality, which requires NFS stack comes with R2. R2 only includes some additional software to improve OS productivity. It's not a major upgrade.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Setting up FT on SAN attached /usr/openv
Hi Heathe, First, you need to have at least one supported Qlogic HBA in order to configure FT media server. You can't/won't use that one as initiator due to the fact that it has to be marked as target by NetBackup. During FT media server configuration NetBackup needs to temporarily unload qla2xxx module which causes to lose SAN connectivity So, it's not clear what HBA (brand/model) you have. Bahadir.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5 on Win 2k
Just spoke with Symantec, he said that upgrading from 5.1 will likely result in a warning that says we must reboot, but he says this isn't the forced reboot message you usually see. This had something to do with changing data base types or what not. He said the client will still function properly without the reboot, but we may see the message anyways.
