[Veritas-bu] bpverify sneaky behaviour after mp5
Just a heads up for people. I dont think its my system but i have just
applied mp5 and S2 patches to a netbackup 5 installation which was at mp2.
Now i use
bpverify -p -sl schedule -hoursago n | awk '/^Media/ {print $4}'
to get me a list of tapes ran on a schedule and it emails ops so they
know which tapes to take down. (The script does more but thats the command)
After i have applied mp5 the output has changed slightly and has
introduced a SPACE character infront of each line of output from
bpverify. This now means /^Media/ doesnt match.
I have altered the script but thought id mention to people in case they
werent aware.
Anyone know of any other command outputs which have changed over MP levels?
Cheers
Dave

Re: [Veritas-bu] Which backups ran on tape L00123?
I think you want this dont you ?
bpimmedia -mediaid BQ630D |awk ' $1 ~ /IMAGE/ {print $0}'
This should list the client images which are on that tape. These may not
be complete images if the tape is multiplexed or backups have span
media. Taking of the awk statement will show you all frags.

The images on media report is the best option that I can think of to
see whats on it. To stop backups from writting to it, try suspending it

Hello,
What is the easiest way to find out what clients wrote on a particular
tape?
I have a tape that is going bad (keeps freezing, same one, I need to
know which clients wrote on this tape).
Also, is there a way to mark a tape for reading only and not writing?
I use multiplexed backups, so I am sure it wrote a whole bunch of
stuff on that tape.
Thanks,
Justin.

Attached to a L700 with 5 LTo2 tape drives fiber attached. ok, I have an issue where one of my media servers cant see the 3 shared drives all of a sudden. sgscan comes back with none and cfgadm -al shows them as being unavailable. Why i dont know and am trying to work this out. As a stop gab i added this media manager to a standard policy on the master server which backs up clients over the network so it would back this media server up over the network so at least we are getting backups. As this media server is also an oracle DB server i need it to not start backing up until past 12:30am and the normal policy starts around 10:30pm. So i created a bpstart_notify.Standard on the media manger server in the correct place and put sleep 10800 in it so it would sleep for a few hours. I then started to get 74 messages of bpstart timeout. To fix this i put bpstart_timeout = 11000 in the bp.conf on the media manger and then had to put it on the master server. This annoys me slightly as this will now affect all bpstart timeouts for each client. Is there not a client bpstart timeout option because i couldnt find one in the admin guides. Anyway this seems to have stopped the timeout status but i am now getting a status 41 which is network timeout. Has anyone any ideas? I know the network connections are all fine as running a manual backup or even a scheduled one without the sleep statement works fine. Why the drives have stopped being visible i have no idea as no changes have happened on the system.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Window file excludes
Windows clients are a paint for excludes so as suggested i use a .reg file.
As i deal with unix mostly i find it easier to ship a reg file around
when i installed the windows client.
Create your exclude list on a client through the gui or log onto the
client ( however timbuktu/Terminal service or direct ) then go to
regedt32 and goto HKLM/software/veritas/netbackup/currentversion/config
you should see the exclude list in txt form and be able to edit it. Once
edited shut regedt32 down and open regedit
browse to the same key and it will be in HEX. Now save export the key
which will save everything under config as a .reg file.
Open the .reg file with notepad and remove all lines apart from the top
2 lines ( registry header lines ) and the Exlude line.
This .reg can now be applied on any windows box and will just merge into
the exclude list.
Hope this helps
Actually heres one i made earlier. Just rename to .reg ( check this
before applying to make sure there isnt anything in it as its very dodgy
accepting reg files from strangers )
Spearman, David wrote:
Greg,
If your using a gui just go to Host Properties / Clients then open the
client in question. In 5.1 the excludes will be under Windows Client.
Otherwise you are looking at hacking the registry.

Re: [Veritas-bu] duplication speed
I have 4 drives and am multiplexing things so all drives are in use which i suppose is how i backed things up in 8 hours and yes i gave 2048 set for frag size ( which i've just thought is 2 meg not 2 gig isnt itone to change ) I have worked out the duplication has picked its first image, then mounted that tape and found other images on that and has started duplicating them. What it hasnt done is realize other images to be duplicated ( found with the bpduplicate -PM option ) are on different tapes and then mount them in the other drive. What i have done is to launch another bpduplicate with the -policy flag as i have worked out they are on different tapes than the ones already in progress. I assume when the original job tries to duplicate ones further down the list it will realize a job has already begun to do that.I hope so anyway. The percentage figure jumped from 1% to 6% when it had finished the first tape on the sets it is doing. That still was going to be out of time however as 6% in 140 minutes meant it would take 38 hours for the whole thing to complete. ((100/6) * 140) / 60 This is bad as im moving everything tomorrow at 4pm eek.

There are 32 images in total to duplicated and the backups took around 8 hours to complete 290 gig. At 5MB/sec, that's 18GB per hour. To back up 290GB would take 16 hours. I don't see how you completed this in 8 hours unless you were doing a lot of compression. I need the duplications to be finished by tomorrow and as it has been nearly 2 hours now and saying only 1% complete im worried it wont be done. Can you estimate the actual speed by how fast it's changing tapes? A DLT7000 is only 80GB compressed so you should be changing tapes every few hours. 290GB in 8 hours is 36GB per hour so that would be a fresh tape every 2 hours tops. I am wondering what file num = Surely its not actually a file number and its only written 23 files in 2 hours. Are those 2GB file fragments? If so, that's about right - 46GB in 2 hours or 23 GB per hour - that's better than 5MB/sec.

[Veritas-bu] backing up databases
Ok, been tasked with giving my input on a backup solution for a new project. Someone had designed it to start backing up things using scripts from cron calling other scripts and then netbackup bpbackup commands and all sorts of random junk. Anyway assume we are talking Solaris 8 or 9 with fiber attached units. The question i have which was from the original design ( and i guess still a requirement ) is how do people go around backing up database volumes. I myself have had dbas ( running oracle ) to do hot_archives and then backup that. The hot_archives are called from bpstart_notify so are captured within netbackup if they take too long or if they fail. I can also do some checking if directories exist etc before running the oracle backup. Also have the added benefit of not writing to tape until exit call from hot_archive which means db backup has finished. Ok, thats one way, the other way i do on another project is use SSO option on the database servers which have dedicated HBA's through fiber to the tape units and shared drives. I just point at a location and assume everything in there is ready to be backed up. This project is slightly different and the DBA's are responsible for the backup. The way this new project is wanting to go is by mounting a storage volume ( disk ) on the db server and writing a backup to it. then unmounting it and then mounting it on the backup server to be written to tape directly. What i want to know is how ( if we have to go this route ) can i control this within netbackup and not start backups unless mount and unmount requests have been done? Do i have bpstart scripts on the db servers, which do the mounts, then the oracle backups and then the unmounts. If this fails can i send something back through bpstart so the backup doesnt run and fails with a certain netbackup code? The benefit of the mount, unmount is so the resource is not used on the db servers to do backups, but im not sure how i am going to control the process within netbackup to capture any errors. So has anyone done anything similar which they can advise with?? Thanks Dave ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

You can also do this within scripts if you like ( something i found out
a while ago ), so you can automatically move stuff.
echo m s3 d3 | tldtest -r /dev/sg/c0t0l0 - whatever robot path is.
In a script i just get the robot path like this :-
if [ -s /tmp/robot ];then
robot=`cat /tmp/robot`
else
robot=`/opt/openv/volmgr/bin/sgscan |awk -F: '/P1000/ {print $1}'`
echo $robot /tmp/robot
fi
echo s s | /opt/openv/volmgr/bin/tldtest -r $robot /tmp/tapes-in-robot
..blah blah

Now he cant put m:\*.trk and m:\*.bak because that will just backup those files in the root of m:\ right? He has ought about doing this :- put in the policy file list *.trk and *.bak hoping this will backup all instances no matter what directory or mount point.

Bit of strange request i know. It seems to have worked putting all_local_drives in and then excludeing *.* and including *.bak but i can think this will have a performance hit. The issue is we dont know what partitions have the *.bak files on it as they are san attached volumes and the DB guys could put them anywhere.

Re: [Veritas-bu] bpduplicate question
The action i got from original post was that he duplicated to the wrong pool and wanted to correct it by removing the duplication and then duplicating to the correct pool. I took from this that he just wanted 1 duplication and so the copy number would be 2. Increasing the number of copies to 3 just means bpduplicate will create a new copy and it doesnt mean the 2nd copy he did do will be gotten rid of. Plus if he has a restore procedure to use the duplicated copies and needs to either change to primary or restore from copy 2 his documentation will be out for this copy which is copy number 3. It depends indeed how the restore process adopted works. I may have gotten the wrong end of the stick from the original email. Cheers Mickey Baker wrote: That’s the correct solution, IMO.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Volume Pools [recommendations please]
I am surprised by the number of people using a single volume pool for data backups. What about mixed retentions on media? The way i do things is like this :- Have a daily, weekly, monthly, offsite, logs tape pools ( as well as netbackup, and none obviously ) Now whatever the policy and file list, clients etc i have a daily, weekly, monthly schedule which has different expiry times on it. Dailys i expire after 2 weeks, weeklys after 1 month and monthlys after 6 months. The volume pool is associated with the schedule and then all images from different policies are striped to tapes (mpx) to keep tape usage down and have the same retention on media. Weekly and monthly backups are then identified by tapes used in x hours for a certain tape pool or schedule name once a week and removed from the jukebox. The offsite pool i have is for ITC where it is used and have the second job write to an offsite pool which can then be identified daily and removed. This offsite pool only has a retention of 2 weeks for any schedule which runs as there is little point ( IMO ) of having 2 weeks old Disaster recovery data. Tapes are then brought back into to scratch after this 2 weeks and reused. The logs policy has a schedule which is infinite expiry as my customers sometimes want to keep logs indefinitely and these are usually written by a script on each client invoking bparchive or bpbackup with a list produced from find command. Each to there own, but there is what i do on a normal setup if you can find any use from it. Cheers Wilkinson, Alex wrote: Hi all, What is best practice with regards to Volume Pools ?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Volume Pools [recommendations please]
I think that my words have been taken out of context. I know you cant and shouldn't mix retentions on media which is why i find it hard that people use 1 media pool for all backups. From that i would assume they have the same retention for all backups. This in my opinion which is only my opinion is a bad idea. To give advise to the original thread i was saying that one volume pool for all backups is perhaps not the right way to do things and i was surprised by the number of people who seemed to adopt it. I asked about mixed retentions as people with 1 volume pool cannot ( safely ) then have a full backup with a different retention than say a cumulative backup. Cheers bob944 wrote: Dave Markham [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am surprised by the number of people using a single volume pool for data backups. What about mixed retentions on media? What about them? NetBackup *never* puts different retentions on a tape unless you force it to with the MULTIPLE_RETENTIONS_PER_MEDIA directive (and there are very few situations where that's a good idea).

Re: [Veritas-bu] Volume Pools [recommendations please]
Agree. IMO simple for small to medium sized solutions is cumulative incremental backups daily and full backups at weekends and at month end with an offsite daily if required. This then defines sensibly you should have 4 different retentions.. dailys 1 to 2 weeks retention. Reason: whats the point in keeping the same data filling up tapes when you have just written it to a full backup. Any requirement for individual day restores after this time then agreed different approach is required. weekly 1-2 months retention. Reason whats the point in having many weeklys when you have taken a monthly full backup. monthly 6 months: Reason: backup runs once every 4 weeks say so doesnt use many tapes over the year thus leaving you to have a longer retention for your data. Anything wanted to be kept over 6 months should be defined separately. offsite 2 weeks Reason: no point having out of date offsite backups in event of DR you want the latest info. That to me is simple :) D Wayne T Smith wrote: KISS = Keep It Simple, Stupid! It's easy to over-manage NetBackup, because it lets you. I recommend that you keep things simple, and deviate from the simple when it's evident that you should. If the NetBackup pool contains all of your assigned tapes and the Scratch pool contains all of your available tapes, life is simple. How many tapes are in use? Count the number of tapes in NetBackup. How many tapes are available for backups? Count the number of tapes in Scratch. All free tapes are available for the next backup. Cleaning tapes, if any, will be in pool NONE. I use another pool for suspect tapes ... tapes that have had an event such as a read or write error. If on v6.0, you probably have pool for catalog backups. If you duplicate/vault tapes, you probably have another couple of pools (one for catalog backups; one for data) for your catalog and image copies. Why make more pools? One reason might be to insulate free tapes in a pool from others. For example, in my shop our Oracle Agent backups take precedence over file system backups. We don't want independent file system backups filling a tape pool, possibly delaying backups and causing our archive redo log spaces to fill. I'm sure there are other reasons for more pools, but in general, I recommend: KISS. :-) cheers, wayne Wilkinson, Alex wrote, in part, on 4/25/2006 8:46 PM: What is best practice with regards to Volume Pools ?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Volume Pools [recommendations please]
I know exactly how it works im afraid and was posing the question to people who use 1 tape pool. What about mixed retentions? To explain further i meant what about having different retentions on the same media which you would need to turn on in order to have full backups incremental etc to use the same tape pool and have different retentions.

Re: [Veritas-bu] how to get a list of tapes in the tape library
If you are going to use the below i suggest you do an inventory prior as this is what netbackup thinks is in the jukebox but ops could have been in and changed things around as they are unpredictable sorts ;) Inventory :- /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmupdate -x -rn 0 -rt tld -rh `uname -n` -vh `uname -n` -use_barcode_rules I have this in a script which periodically runs during the day #!/bin/ksh #Reloading and inventorising tapes for media manager vmupdate -x -rn 0 -rt tld -rh `uname -n` -vh `uname -n` -use_barcode_rules if [ $? != 0 ] then echo WARNING: Problem with loadtape script..maybe an unreadable tape!

Re: [Veritas-bu] RE: [Veritas-bu]Status 71...was: Volume Pools [recommendations please]
Yeah i had come to that conclusion myself. The only worrying thing was i didn't want to leave it to chance that the raw partitions wouldn't appear on the client which didn't normally have them. Its all san storage connected see and if someone adds a new volume to the client with the same device path ( i know doubtful ) it may be being backed up when i dont need it to be on that client. Think ill leave the exclude list in place and put a known good small file in the stream which contains the raw stuff. Thanks for this. Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK - I just tested this. I built a policy with two NEW_STREAM directives, one stream with a real file, the other with a dummy file. I ran the policy and got an error 71 on the stream with the dummy file. No surprise there. I then excluded the dummy file using an exclude_list.policy file and ran the backup again. The stream with the dummy file still issued a 71. So - even if you exclude the entire contents of the stream in the exclude file, you still get an error 71 when you attempt it. I, frankly, expected this given how Netbackup implements the exclusion list (it scans for the specified directories files first, then applies the exclusions). I'd suggest what I suggested before, add a single dependable file, like /etc/passwd, to the stream with the raw devices in it so it always has one valid file, the others that are missing won't matter then. You won't even need the exclusion list if those raw devices don't exist on that server. -M -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Keating Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2006 6:23 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] RE: [Veritas-bu]Status 71...was: Volume Pools [recommendations please] I don't know why you're getting that error, but it must be specific to the raw backups. In my environment, I have several clusterseach has a shared data drive, and each has a system particion and a couple others. Example Cluster_node_1: / /u /node1 Cluster_node_2: / /u /node2 There's a policy that backs up cluster /data, which is the shared resource, backed up via a virtual name/IP, but I have another policy that backs up the physical nodes. The backup selections list has the following: / /u /node1 /node2 The client list has: Cluster_node_1 Cluster_node_2 There are no exclude lists on either node... /node1 gets backed up on the node1 backup, and /node2 gets backed up on the node2 backup. Never get a 71. Works a charm...so I would venture to guess it's either specific to the raw backup, or it doesn't like that you've specified and exclude list for a fs that doesn't exist.

Re: [Veritas-bu] URGENT AND HELP Quickest Way to Freeze Tapes
If its all tapes in your robot id do something on command line for a loop.
Off top of my head id do :-
echo s s | /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tldtest -r path to robot. e.g
/dev/sg/c3t0l0 |awk '/Barcode/ {print $NF} |xargs bpmedia -freeze -m
If that dont work take off the | xargs bpmedia -freeze -m and do :-
echo s s | /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tldtest -r path to robot. e.g
/dev/sg/c3t0l0 |awk '/Barcode/ {print $NF} /tmp/list
for x in `cat /tmp/list`
do
bpmedia -freeze -m $x
done
Then you will have to press y a few times :)
Hope this helps and theres probably an easier way

I use this script because it actually tells you the amount of scratch in

[Veritas-bu] Space left on Tape

bob944 wrote: Dudes is there any way of saying how much space is left on a particular tape? I have had a look around but am a bit lost. Yeah, run bpmedialist and compare with vmquery. That answer makes no sense. Dave, a tape holds as much as it holds, period. In contrast to a disk (has _exactly_ so many cylinders/tracks/sectors and is usually not compressed); tapes write varying lengths of data, separated by gaps of different sizes; usually compressing data with variability in the data, in its fit in the drive buffer, in the firmware algorithm on that drive; with unpredictable skips over flawed patches of tape; and to tape length which is not uniform. The same tape, written in the same drive with the same source data can vary; the same tape, same drive, backing up something different will likely be quite different. Throw in the variables and and... well, I've seen a range of 4xxGB to 12xxGB on full SDLT600 tapes, for instance. An available_media listing with a bunch of full tapes will show you the variability and give you a rough guide of what to expect from a given pool and retention (more variability if you use one pool for many/all types of backups, less if you have pools which handle specific clients and specific, non-volatile data). When a tape hits EOM (Simon: End Of Medium to your question; used to be End Of Tape by detecting a foil sticker) and NetBackup moves on to another tape, you have zero space left. Anything else is an approximation. THanks for that. Was king of thinking that myself from looking at bpmedialist and seeing some tapes which were full had less than others. I guess it depends how much the data on disk took up but can be compressed onto the tape. Some files are perhaps already compressed and so that particular job used a certain tape and the compression could not be made any more. Thanks I was just trying to work out which tapes to take out as i have 4 in one volume pool and i only need 1 really ( as its for logs ) so didn't want to take one out with loads of space left on it. I was just wondering if there was something which said although certain amount of the tape is used as its a DLT 35/70 it has X kb left.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Disaster Recovery Site
I've done something similar which is adopted as a DR method by the customer. Its perhaps not as fancy as below but carries the same important feature. The master server at DR site is the same hostname as the Production site. This was critical in getting the DR process to work. All i do is backup to disk each day the catalouges of Prod site ( also to tape ) and rsync them over to DR site backup server. The DR site backup server has its own catalogue for backing the DR site up during normal operation but in DR scenario i backup the DR catalogus (bpbackup -dpath etc ) and then recover the rsynced ones from production site ( bprecover) now my DR site knows about all the tapes used at production site ( where i also have an ITC and tapes sent offsite ) and so i can restore from production machines onto DR machines. Works a charm Dave Paul Keating wrote: Inline Tape Copy. It's a Netbackup feature where two tapes are written simultaneously. We've done several tests of our infrastructure, and it has worked well.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Restore windows permissions
Barber, Layne (Contractor) wrote: Modification: How to restore NT File System (NTFS) permissions only (including recreating the share permissions) to an existing folder. The NetBackup Backup, Archive and Restore user interface does not allow you to restore just a folder or just the folder structure without restoring some of the folder contents. This is a problem in the event that the NTFS permissions were accidentally removed from a folder or share, but the folder/share contents are intact. In this situation, the administrator would only need to restore the folder/share permissions and not some or all of the contents of that folder. 1. From command-line, use the bprestore command found at install_path\NetBackup\bin\ to restore only the parent folder NTFS permissions (and share permissions if applicable), while excluding all subfolders and files. bprestore -s start_date -e end_date path_folder_to_be_restored\ !path_folder_to_be_restored\* Example (figure 1): The following command restores a folder named 'test' to the root of the C: volume, which was backed up between 1PM and 2PM on 2/5/2005, while excluding everything contained inside the folder 'test': bprestore -s 02/05/2005 13:00:00 -e 02/05/2005 14:00:00 C:\test\ !C:\test\* Figure 1 2. If the folder restored was a share, the Windows 'Server' service must be restarted for the share to become reactivated. NOTE: If the parent folder already exists with subfolders and files prior to restore, the restored parent folder permissions will not automatically propagate down to existing subfolders and files.

[Veritas-bu] cinc and dinc on one tape
Netbackup 5.0mp4 Solaris 9 environment with some win2k clients. Is it do people think to have diff incrementals and cumulative incrementals with the same retention on the same media? We have a network based backup which takes ages due to the amount of data on the machine. I have put a suggestion to management it should be directly attached to the L700 via fibre and have SSO option installed, but until that gets past the politics i was thinking of changing the cinc to a dinc on the daily policy i have. I just didnt want to start creating a new volume pool as it would then have to wait for drives to be free as other backups are writing to the daily_cinc pool i have.

[Veritas-bu] media destination full
Netbackup 5.0mp4 Solaris9 connected to an L700 via fiber with 5 drives. (3 SSO with 2 media servers) Has anyone come across the below problem before and has a work around? One job seems to take over 24 hours for its full backup. We have plans in motion to get this machine added as with SSO but until that happens ( stupid politics in a large company ) we have the problem where some tapes get stuck in the drive. This i think is because after a certain time when the tape goes to be put back into its originating slot the destination is actually full because something else has taken its place. I did have a script i call NBU_loadtape which would periodically run an inventory so that when ops change the tapes i dont need to do it. I thought this was causing the problem so put a hook into it to exit if there were jobs already running. So now im not sure either whats putting tapes into slots they didnt originate from or if there is anyway to automatically tell the tape loading bit to put into a free slot. Currently i have to do it manually. Normally if jobs all complete within 24 hours i dont hit this problem.

I kick a job off and it finds tapes, puts them in and start to position them but then times out and gives status 52. I have tried freezing the tapes so it uses different tapes. vmdareq on the master shows the media has reserved 2 of the drives, and the tapes are actually being put into drives as i can see under robtest and 's d'. Any 52 ive ever had before has been not able to see drives, drives down or the processes not running. Anyone any other ideas where to look? Cant see anything obvious in bptm log on the media server.

Netbackup 5.0MP7 Solaris9 Anyone know how to identify from command line what drives are in use, or what tapes are in use while a job is running. We have an issue where ops keep opening the jukebox and changing tapes while jobs are running. The job is fine as the L700 library just suspends writes but the problem is they fill slots up which are destination slots of tapes in use. Once the tapes have finished and a new tape is required to continue the job the old tape cannot be put back into its slot as it has some tape in it. I therefore sometimes need to manually move the tapes to another slot using robtest. Issue is a lot of the time the backup job is still running and i dont want to unload the tapes in use so i need to identify them. I have been using iostat -xnd 2 10 |grep rmt and seeing which are written to and then double checking with the gui the tape ids, but i'd like a nice netbackup command to just say tapes being written to at that moment in time.

Problem with this command is it shows tapes in all the drives due to the problem i mentioned in my mail. Tapes are in drives due to not being able to move back to destination slots. I need to confirm the drives which are in use for the current job(s) running. Normally its just one job running see and as im using ITC 2 drives will be in use. I need to determine these so i can then safely move tapes out of the other drives.

[Veritas-bu] SAN Media server question
Guys running Netbackup 5.0Mp7 on solaris 9 environment. I have a master server connected to L700 via fibre through a SANBOX2 switch to robot and 6 drives. The master server has 2 HBA's ( as i believe Sun impose a limit of 3 * LTO2 drives per 2GB HBA ). I have 2 SAN Media servers ( DB nodes ) each connected via the switch to the first 3 drives which are shared. I am adding 2 extra drives and another SAN Media server. Question is :- Using robtest i will see the extra drives in the L700 once added but i cant add these drives to the Master server as i have already hit my limit of drives / HBA. The new media server will be connected through the switch to the 2 new drives and will have the devices set up. The query i have is how does the master server ( which is the robot controller ) able to put the tapes into the drives for use with the 3rd Media server? As i wont have the devices and thus /dev/sg paths set up for these new drives on the master. Im unclear as to how this will work. Anyone any ideas? I cant see anything in the docs from the scan through i have had ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
[Veritas-bu] Windows client problem after MP7 update
Guys i have just updated our Netbackup 5.0 environment to MP7. Master server is Solaris9. All stuff was fine with upgrade but now some of the windows clients dont seem to backup correctly. They get a portion of the way through and then this message appears and they grind to a halt until i cancel them bpbrm from client client: WRN - Content Indexing Server: unable to pause catalog: Web (some files may not get backed up) Anyone seen this before?

I cannot see now what else to do to stop this error so was hoping someone was in the same position or had a work around?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Status 14 but with exclude list plus open file disabled -NEW INFO
Actually this may be the right track but not slightly. After enabling log level to 5 i have started seeing 10053 errors in the bpkar log. It then seems to exit with status 14. Now on the client itself i looked at the job tracker after i kicked a manual backup off and it exited. Well the job tracker is still running and counting files up. In a certain directory i am including so far there are over 700,000 files. Does anyone think its just taking so long to count the files its doing something dodgy? The way i backup this client is with ALL_LOCAL_DIRECTORIES plus SYSTEM_STATE I then exclude e: and f: and then include f::\nic\blah, f:\nic\blah2 etc It seems in these f: directories there are shed loads of files? Any pointers? How does snapshot thing work? Can i restore individual files if i use it? Any help appreciated Cheers Martin, Jonathan wrote: Tried this yet? http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/pipermail/veritas-bu/2004-June/023649.html Ah..

[Veritas-bu] Netbackup upgrade 6 or 6.5
Has anyone got 6.5 yet? We are running NBU 5.0 MP7 on a predomintatly solaris platform. We are due to upgrade h/w and s/w and i was wondering was it worth going for 6.0 which seems to be used quite a bit by people now, or do we go to new 6.5 ? Also we have around 20 servers including a 2 node Sun Cluster ( attached to T3 arrays ) running oracle10g. Is there anything special which can be done with 6.5 or is it just worth still doing filesystem backups direct to Tape Thanks ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup upgrade 6 or 6.5
Thanks Im just reading through documentation and apparently Solaris 8 as a client isnt supported under NBU 6.5 so that rules that out as the infrastructure is still ruinning Sol8. Bit harsh me thinks. Thing is unless we go to 6.5 the customer will be paying lots for 6 and then in a years time when 7 comes out 6 will be no longer supported as i beleive NBU only goes 1 level back for support?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup upgrade 6 or 6.5
Interesting. Thanks. I got the support issue for Sol8 clients from the 6 release notes and the section entitled Operating Systems Not Supported as of Next Major Release. http://ftp.support.veritas.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_Enterprise_Server/279259.pdf I wasnt aware of how long 6.5 has been out which was why i posed the question to the list. I've had my head buried in perl and san stuff for the past 6 months so havnt kept that much up to date with NBU. Thanks for responses. Looks like ill go to 6.0 MP4. I just know the customer who will be saying why not the latest version? How long will this be supported for? Its not our problem if the current version has bugs its up to you to sort out with symantec. things like that make you edgy when proposing a new setup. cheers Tim Hoke wrote: Hmmm... Solaris 8, 9 and 10 all appear to be supported on 6.x as Client OR Server according to this link: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/278064.htm http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/278064.htm As for continued support, Symantec supports one major revision back. So, currently with 6.x (6.0 and 6.5), 5.x is also supported. There's an updated support statement which you can find here: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/290017.htm I couldn't put my finger on anything that talked about 6.0/6.5 end of support life, but would expect such a statement after the next major release. -Tim On 9/20/07, *Dave Markham* [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Im just reading through documentation and apparently Solaris 8 as a client isnt supported under NBU 6.5 so that rules that out as the infrastructure is still ruinning Sol8.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup upgrade 6 or 6.5
Does Anyone have a pointer to the differences between Netbackup 6 Server and Netbackup 6 Enterprise Server? I cant seem to find a comparison on symantec. Cheers DULLAART, Rob ONL wrote: I am currently facing the same question. We have Netbackup 5.1 with mp5, I am thinking of first migrating to version 6 and then later migrate to version 6.5 My feeling is an upgrade to version 6.0 has a big impact. And the impact from version 6 to 6.5 is not so big.
