Re: [Veritas-bu] remote ndmp on Netbackup 7.5.0.5
Michael is correct. Step 1 is on the EMC This section describes how to configureNDMPbackups to Media Manager storage units. To configure NDMP backups to Media Manager storage units 1 Authorize the NetBackup server to access the NDMP hosts you want to back up. (This is Michael's step 1) Do the following on the master server (not media server) if you plan to create snapshots using the Snapshot Client NAS_Snapshot method: ■ Under Media and Device Management Credentials, click on NDMP Hosts. Under the Actions menu, choose NewNewNDMPHost to display the Add NDMPHost dialog box. ■ Fill in the values. From page 44 of the NDMP Administrators Guide version 7.5 To authorize NetBackup access to the NDMP host 1 Onthe NetBackup server NetBackupAdministrationConsole, expand Media and Device Management Credentials NDMPHosts. 2 Under the Actions menu, select New NewNDMPHost. 3 In the AddNDMPHost dialog box, enter the name of the NDMP server for NetBackup to back up. The NDMPhost name is case-sensitive. Whenever this host name is used, the name must be identical to the name entered here. (For example, when you configure tape drives and storage units for this host.) Configuring NDMP backup to NDMP-attached devices 4 Click OK. 5 In the NewNDMPHost dialog box, specify the following: (The term credentials refer to the user name and password that NetBackup uses to access the NDMP host.) Enables all NetBackup media servers under the master server to access this NDMP host using a predefined global NDMP logon. To create this logon, click Host Properties Master Server Properties NDMP in the NDMPGlobal Credentials dialog box. Use globalNDMP credentials for thisNDMP host Enables all NetBackup media servers that are connected to the NDMP host to access the NDMP host using the logon you specify: ■ Username: The user name under which NetBackup accesses the NDMP server. This user must have permission to run NDMP commands. ■ Password and Confirm Password: Enter the password for this user. Use the following credentials for thisNDMP host on all media servers Specifies NDMP logons for particular NetBackup servers. Then click Advanced Configuration. ■ In the AdvancedNDMPCredentials dialog box, click Add. ■ In the Add Credentials dialog box, select a NetBackup server and specify the user name and password it uses to access the NDMP host. ■ Click OK. NetBackup validates the user name and password. ■ The NetBackup server and user name appear in the AdvancedNDMPCredentials dialog box. ■ If necessary, click Add again to specify other servers and user Usedifferentcredentialsfor thisNDMPhost on each media server Back to page to page 62 of NDMP Administrators Guide 2 Use the NetBackup Device Configuration Wizard to configure the drive(s) and robot(s). Note the following: ■ Do not use the Configuring NDMP backup to NDMP-attached devices topic in this guide. Configure the robots and drives as ordinary NetBackup devices, not as NDMP-attached devices. See the NetBackup Administrator’s Guide, Volume I. ■ Drives can be shared using the NetBackup Shared Storage Option (SSO). The drives can be shared as both NDMP drives and non-NDMP drives. See “About the Shared Storage Option (SSO)” on page 73. 3 Create a Media Manager storage unit for the drive(s). The storage unit type must be Media Manager, not NDMP. Note the following for NDMP multiplexing: ■ Select the EnableMultiplexing check box on theNewStorageUnit menu. ■ Set the Maximum streams per drive entry to a value greater than one. For details on storage units, refer to the NetBackup Administrator’s Guide, Volume I. 4 Create an NDMP-type policy. On the New/Change Policy display, be sure to specify the storage unit that was created in the previous step. Note the following for NDMP multiplexing: ■ Set the Media multiplexing attribute on the AddNewSchedule menu to a value greater than one. If you have problems, let me know which of the above steps gives you the problem. -- Original Message -- From: mia...@gmail.com To: Steven Gelsie steven.gel...@jhuapl.edu Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Sent: 13/05/2014 14:32:59 Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] remote ndmp on Netbackup 7.5.0.5 Hello Steve Think you need a ndmp login from the media server to the EMC NAS unit like when doing direct NDMP backups.

When troubleshooting status 58 errors on a NetBackup client, the first thing to test is to whether or not you can access the client from the client Host Properties from the master server. If that works the same ports are involved when backing up the client as to when you access the client host properties. Connecting to the client host properties from the master server would prove the master server can access the client without any problems.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Queued duplication jobs churning - tape mounts increasing
Would either of these be of any help? MEDIA_UNMOUNT_DELAY To specify a Media unmount delay property indicates that the unloading of media is delayed after the requested operation is complete. Media unmount delay applies only to user operations, to include backups and restores of database agent clients, such as those running NetBackup for Oracle. The delay reduces unnecessary media unmounts and the positioning of media in cases where the media is requested again a short time later. The delay can range from 0 seconds to 1800 seconds. The default is 180 seconds. If you specify 0, the media unmount occurs immediately upon completion of the requested operation. Values greater than 1800 are set to 1800. RB_MPX_GROUP_UNLOAD_DELAY The RB_MPX_GROUP_UNLOAD_DELAY parameter indicates the number of seconds that nbrb waits for a new job to appear before a tape is unloaded. (Default: 10 seconds.) RB_MPX_GROUP_UNLOAD_DELAY=10 This setting can help avoid unnecessary reloading of tapes and applies to all backup jobs. During user backups, nbrb uses the maximum value of RB_MPX_GROUP_UNLOAD_DELAY and the Media mount timeout host property setting when nbrb unmounts the tape. During restores, Media mount timeout is used, not RB_MPX_GROUP_UNLOAD_DELAY.

This filesystem is currently mounted on one of our linux master servers via CIFS. There is approximately 2.3TB's of data on this system. I can backup in full with no issues but every incremental I run, runs like another full. The data I'm trying to backup is located on a commodity storage appliance which has the ability to share itself out over CIFS and NFS etc.. We mounted the CIFS share on a linux box and I created a policy to backup the contents of the mount. I cannot install a NetBackup client on this system. My plan is to try and implement synthetic full backups against this system to cut down on the backup times. I had another policy configured which via some trial and error, allowed me to run a synthetic full in 6 hours instead of 3 days. However, attempts at incrementals using this policy also resulted in the incremental backing up every file again. The policy currently in use was setup from day one with all the appropriate schedules (standard full, synthetic full and standard incremental) from day one. The standard full ran for 3 days and completed on Saturday morning. I kicked off the incremental that same morning and it's still running.

I've found that the seemingly optional arguments, like -client on the first

All:
Our environment, HP-UX 11-31 currently running one master 1 media server on
NetBackup 6.5.2. We are running mostly unix / Linux backups and a couple
windows b/u's. Along with an HP Library we are using a VTL on a DataDomain 880.
My problem is that a few of our VTL tapes got deleted and re-added on the Data
Domain which obviously caused all the data on the tapes to be deleted.
NetBackup still thinks they are valid tapes and they show up in the catalog.
I've got the barcodes of the tapes and want to list off the files that were on
the tapes. I've tried running a bpimmedia to get the image from the tape and
then a bpflist command to list what's in the image. The bpflist come back with
no entity was found I can't find a man page or much documentation on the
bpflist command so I'm flying blind on this command. Below is what I'm getting:

Has anyone successfully used the bpflist command and if so, is there any doc on
the options for bpflist? Does anyone have any other ideas of how or if I can
get a list of files from the catalog images if the tapes themselves are no
longer around?
Thanks in advance...

Hi All,
If you know the media id(s) and you want a list of all the files on that media
you could try the following:
for i in cwmedia id 1 media id2 ...; do bpimmedia -U -mediaid E03002 | grep

[Apologies if the list gets this twice. I think I typed the address wrong the
first attempt.]
Wayne, my notes for bpflist:
List Files on an Image:
# bpflist [ -l | -L | -U ] -backupid ID -rl 999 -d 1/1/2000 -e 1/1/2010 -client
CLIENT
# bpflist -l -client {hostname} -ut {epoch time} -option GET_ALL_FILES -rl 999
I've found that the seemingly optional arguments, like -client on the first
example, are not optional at all. It ought to know the client name from the
backup ID, but doesn't seem to make the connection. I also included the
recursion level. I don't think it defaults to infinity. See if you get better
mileage from this,

the Barcode?
All:
Our environment, HP-UX 11-31 currently running one master 1 media server on
NetBackup 6.5.2. We are running mostly unix / Linux backups and a couple
windows b/u's. Along with an HP Library we are using a VTL on a DataDomain 880.
My problem is that a few of our VTL tapes got deleted and re-added on the Data
Domain which obviously caused all the data on the tapes to be deleted.
NetBackup still thinks they are valid tapes and they show up in the catalog.
I've got the barcodes of the tapes and want to list off the files that were on
the tapes. I've tried running a bpimmedia to get the image from the tape and
then a bpflist command to list what's in the image. The bpflist come back with
no entity was found I can't find a man page or much documentation on the
bpflist command so I'm flying blind on this command. Below is what I'm getting:

[Veritas-bu] Another frequency based scheduling question.
Hi All, You would think after 16 years I would know this answer, and I think I do, but I would like other opinions or facts. Here is the quandary: Backup window 1900 - 0600, frequency 1 day. Backup runs at 0300 for various reasons, including manually run. Question: Will the next backup run the next day at 1900?, 0300? or not at all. This is NBU 6.5.6. If you think you need to know the OS, please explain why? P.S. I have read Marianne's and Joseph's fine dissertations on Frequency based, but they do not, as far as I can see, address this question only if you have multiple schedules running on the same day, which I do understand.

Re: [Veritas-bu] New backup
If you are asking what I think you are asking, the first backup will be a full backup, the question is will it use the retention level of the incremental or the full. I believe, but have never had to prove it, that the backup will run as an incremental, but will give you the equivalent of a full because it has no base line from which to increment, but it will have the retention level of the incremental. I'm sure someone on the list will correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP backups
You could generate your list and either using bp commands or update /usr/openv/netbackup/db/class/policy/include, but either way the policy must be updated BEFORE it is started as it will not look at the list of files again. Also you need to nbpemreq(?) -updatepolicies before you start it. I'm sure the first method, bp commands would be supported, I'm not sure about the second method as VERTIAS/Symantec sort of frown on these things. :) On 01/11/2011 19:56, Sanders, Nate wrote: Would it be possible to make the policy read the Backup Selections from a file?

Hi All, As of this morning we had NO 47 Errors.

The definition of 1GbE mandates autonegotiation, i.e. it is not valid to lock the speed. You can of course only advertise 1000/FDX, so that would be the only possibility for autonegotiation. DNS can be slowed down if you have lots of domain names in the domain search list, as it will try them all. You can avoid this by using fully-qualified names with a terminal dot (e.g. server.bigco.com.) but I must admit I don't as it would confuse people who don't know what it is for and some tools/scripts will just break with it. Maybe worth checking with traceroute to your DNS servers and between your servers, to make sure it is using the NICs that you expect (if you have 1 in any server). You can use a tool like 'ping plotter' to see if there is something really slow in your network, but it is more aimed at WAN testing.

Hi Thomas, The problem is that you specified –rl on the bpduplicate command. Here is an excerpt from the man page for bpduplicate: -rl retention_level[,rl-copy2,...,rl-copyn] Provides a retention level for each copy that you specify. If no retention levels are specified, the expiration date of the original copy is used for each copy. If a retention period is indicated, the expiration date for the copy is the backup date plus the retention period. For example, if a backup was created on November 14, 2003, and its retention period is one week, the new copy’s expiration date is November 21, 2003. A value of -1 indicates that the original expiration date is used for the copy. Regards, Patrick Whelan VERITAS Certified NetBackup Support Engineer for UNIX.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Check tape ID in tape header for each tape?
If you are on a real OS you can mount the tape and dd the first 1024 bytes. Otherwise you can mount the tape and look at the GUI, which should show both the external and internal label. For real OS: for label in label1 label2 label3 etc do tpreq -m $label [-d density] [-p poolname] -f /tmp/$label dd if=/tmp/$label bs=1024 count=1 tpunmount /tmp/$label done Regards, Patrick Whelan VERITAS Certified NetBackup Support Engineer for UNIX.

Re: [Veritas-bu] ABOUT NBU backup Oracle question
This is the case with ALL raw partition backups. A raw partition backup basically dumps the disk to tape. There is no concept of files or space used (unless you are using flashbackup(?)) so the dump does not know what is data and what isnt. That is why raw partition backups are so much faster than file system backups. The down side is, as you have discovered, that it backs up the entire disk and you have to restore the entire disk.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Redeploying old master server as a media server
First determine how many tapes you’re talking about. If it is only a few (less than 20 maybe) you could import them and be done with it. Alternatively you could copy the /usr/openv/db/images directory to the 7.1 master and keep the tapes stored somewhere in case of a restore request. This assumes that the retention levels are the same on the two systems. You add the tapes to the emm/media database manually and assign an infinite retention level so that when a restore request comes in it will know what tape to ask for at which point you could put the write protected tape in the library for the restore. Periodically you could check to see if the images have expired and re-use/delete the tapes as required. This is mostly a manual job, but it should at least allow you to have access to your restores. I’m sure if I’m wrong many others will come up with better/other suggestions. Regards, Patrick Whelan VERITAS Certified NetBackup Support Engineer for UNIX.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Strange behaviour on 6.5.6 - Fixed
In case anyone is interested. We basically fixed the problem by rebooting one of the media servers. It appears that it was having intermittent difficult, or perhaps one way, communication with the master server. The master server was unable to empty it queue (forgotten the name) L so it looked like everything was hung. We found the problem from two different angles by two different people. On the media server we saw very slow responses to vmoprcmd and tpconfig (among others). The most interesting thing was that the media server could ping the physical master server but not the virtual (it's clustered, both on same subnet). However the master server could ping the media server and other media servers had no problem pinging both. After the reboot, the medias server was able to ping both. L From another angle but in parallel someone ran some analysis tools on the master server and determined the above queue problem. After rebooting the medias server (it had been up for 45 days (Linux)) everything worked find. We went from a success rate of 65% to 80% (on a good day) to 95% the first night of the fix and 99% last night. This was all because of one errant media server out of 60.

I can browse images, emm looks clean, all the policies converted fine and are browseable in the console, etc BUT we are having some strange issues with the sg driver.

After it appeared my devices were fubar we started going thru the gamut of rebuilding the SG links. We go to rem_drv sg (also tried modunload -i instance) and it claims sg is busy and won't unload. I've been using netbackup since 3.x on solaris 2.x thru 10 and have never seen the sg driver unable to unload. I even went as far as completely rebuilding /dev/rmt as well. So I have netbackup set to not auto-start on boot. After reboots -- sometimes the sg driver is loaded, sometimes its not. odd. The core problem we had was a job would submit a mount request, the library would mount the tape (verified), but the job never gets informed that the mount is complete. (bptm is still waiting to here from ltid) Normally I would suspect device mismatching/sg issues or library/communication issues but not in this case. robtest can mount and unmount tapes.

You could try this extremely crude Perl script which will get you close. I

can give you multiple tapes.

if ($#ARGV 0 ) { print Usage: $0 file name\n; exit }
$file_name = $ARGV[0];
@bplist_out = `/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bplist -Listseconds -Listpolicy
$file_name`;
@line = split /\s+/, $bplist_out[$#bplist_out];
($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $yday, $isdst) =
localtime($line[14]);
$start_date = sprintf %02d/%02d/%04d, $mon + 1, $mday, $year + 1900;
($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $yday, $isdst) =
localtime($line[13]);
$end_date = sprintf %02d/%02d/%04d, $mon + 1, $mday, $year + 1900;
$policy_name = $line[19];
@bpimagelist = `/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpimagelist -d $start_date
-e $end_date -policy $policy_name -media`;
print Media ID\n\n;
foreach $line (@bpimagelist) { $media_id = (split /\s+/, $line)[0]; print
$media_id\n; }
exit;
I'm sure there will be some tweaking required.

I have a server with Windows 2003 R2 and a directly SCSi attached LTO4 tape drive. The drive can be seen in Device Manager and the driver is installed. I installed NBU7, started it and straight away NBU picked up the new drive. So, I have a catalog tape from a few weeks ago to play with which was in the drive. In device monitor it could see the recorded media and in Reports and Images on Media it came back with the catalog name etc. Now when I added the tape into MM and then tried to import the tape it errored with no media found in device please verify and then went on to the requesting next resource...

It's easy to configure and will get around this problem. Other than that is it out of the question to use a slightly different name for client interface that is in the backup network? (e.g. servername-b) You would then put servername-b rather than servername in the policy and the traffic would automatically route over the backup network. I've used this for all clients in my backup network from day one and it's been fine. The disadvantages that I can think of for you are - The name of the client in reports and for searches is different from the normal client name, and if it only applies to one or two servers then it will be confusing. - Backups taken before the change will be considered by the server to be of a different client so there are a few extra steps to restore from these.

I recently eneabled a Lotus-Notes agent on our Windows 2008 R2 Notes server to start backing up open databases. After the initial run, I noticed the backup was double in size and took close to 20hrs to complete. After investigating I realized that there is an archive folder located in the data directory. This was not a problem with my backup in the past since I excluded it while using the Windows-NT agent. So I added the archive folder to the client under host properties using the Lotus-Notes agent policy. I then monitored the backup. No success. It is still backing up the archive folder. At this point I opened a case with Syamntec Case 414-254-360. However they have not discovered why it is not working? The exclude list is shown in the registry of the protected computer. The exclude setting is also setup correctly? So at this point I am stumped. I have tried to locate any info on the net without success. Two articles have been pretty much all I can find. One saying this problem was corrected in Netbackup 7.0, the other saying download a hotfix if the server you are protecting is clustered. Server is not clustered and I am running Netbackup 7.0.1. If anyone has a suggestion, had this problem or has a fix your help would be greatly appreciated!

[Veritas-bu] Error code 48: client hostname could not be found.
Hi All, The first question I have is where could the client hostname not be found. The scenario: NetBackup 7.0.1 Solaris 10(both client (sparc) and master(x64)) Two physical hosts in an active/passive cluster Either system can be backed up by its physical name. If I try to use a logical hostname I get the above error. However if I run a client side backup using the logical name, it works. But an oracle backup using the logical name fails, also with 48. I have run; Bpclntcmd -hn logical_name (from the master server) which works and returns the correct IP address. Bptestbpcd -client logical_name and it works with the correct IP address Bpgetconfig -M logical_name works and as expected the CLIENT_NAME is the physical name. I am stumped. Any reasonable suggestions welcome. Regards, Patrick Whelan VERITAS Certified NetBackup Support Engineer for UNIX.

You did check the policy type? Are you sure you have the correct binaries installed on the Linux box? In the backup and recovery GUI what policy type do you specify?

You can use NetBackup to get a tape and put it in a drive (assuming you have a library) using tpreq -m media_id [-a (r/w)] [-d density] [-p poolname] [-priority number] [-f] filename Your script could then do a ufsdump and tpunmount [-e exitstatus] [-f] filename [-force] to unmount the tape.

Re: [Veritas-bu] how to find which stream did not back up?
Bpdbjobs -all_columns will give you a list of all the jobs in the activity monitor as well as what was in the backup list. It is NOT easy to parse and only applies to jobs that have not been deleted from the activity monitor. Bperror has some options (don't remember which) will also list the files that were supposed to be backed up. Good luck. I have been working on scripts, on and off, for the last 15 years to do nearly what you want, with some luck, but not perfect.

The policy set up is similar to this: HOST FILES Netapp NEW_STREAM /vol/vol1 /vol/vol2 /vol/vol3 NEW_STREAM /vol/vol4 /vol/vol5 I have a script that reports on the nights activities, however if something happens the job will finish with a status code of 1.
