Our environment is different, we are running NBU 6.5.1 on a 64bit Windows system connected to a DD580 We have had problems getting expected throughput when we are backing up to disk. Your comments seem to point to a NBU problem rather than a DDR issue, interesting. =

Re: [Veritas-bu] EMM Error 800 when trying to backup to a disk storage unit.

Justin We have NBU 6.45.1 installed on a 64Bit Windows 2003 server (4CPU, 4G memory) Dual quad core CPU Connected to a DD580 via Fiber for tape. Both systems have GigE connections to the LAN. We are getting between 3,000KB to 8,700KB/sec to disk and between 16,000 to 29,000 KB/sec to VTL

Re: [Veritas-bu] Weird error 54/41

Were any changes made to the Network connectivity. Suggest you check your NIC and switch settings, check for errors/collisions on the NIC, etc Is the client a Solaris system? What is your connection speed? = Carl Stehman IT Distributed Services Team Pepco Holdings,

Re: [Veritas-bu] Status 96

What is your configuration? What kind of tape library are you using. Check your policy and the volume policy pool is correct. that can cause 96 errors. = Carl Stehman IT Distributed Services Team Pepco Holdings, Inc. 202-331-6619 Pager 301-765-2703 [EMAIL

Re: [Veritas-bu] Anyone is using datadomain devices? Could you share your experience please

We are evaluating a pair of DD580's for both VTL and CIFS mounted backups. We are running NBU 6.5.1 on 64Bit Windows 2003. We just got it running yesterday. We plan to replicate between two sites. So we won't know for a couple of weeks how it will work for us. Comment: It took a couple of

Re: [Veritas-bu] bpbkar: ERR - bpbkar FATAL exit status = 40: network connect

We have found this in most cases to be related to NIC settings being our of sync. Or related to firewall performance if the backup is coming through a firewall. For 100MB both NIC and switch should be 100FDX no auto negotiate. There are some regristry hacks to deal with the firewall issue.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Getting a list of files from a failed backup

Jeff, Have you checked the KB/sec rate while the backup is running. Sometimes a 41 error can be caused by a mis-matched LAN connection. If the rate is much slower than you expect (in the order of 100KB/sec or so this could be an issue) When you are doing full backups alot more data is

Re: [Veritas-bu] error 41

From your messate, it is not clear if this error is coming from client backups, It can be caused by a network issue. Be sure that your NIC settings match the switch. If Gig E best to go autoneg all the way. If 100MB set both to 100FDX no Auto Negotiate. = Carl

Re: [Veritas-bu] Patch NB_60_5_M installation on NetBackup 6.0MP4 (RHEL 4.3)

The 6.0MP 4 install should have created a /usr/openv/pack directory that contains all the packs that have been installed. Here is a sample # cd /usr/openv/pack # ls NB_CLT_60_4_M NB_CLT_60_5_M NB_JAV_60_5_M pack.history pack.summary # It could be that this directory does not exist??

Re: [Veritas-bu] Merge 2 Master Servers

We have a similar situation, and considered merging two masters. However we ruled that out because of the complexity of the tape libraries and tapes, and the backup catalog.. In our situation we have two geographical locations, one is Solaris, the other Windows. I can be done, but it is
