Hi all,
Looking to replace some old hardware with shiny and new. Wondering if
anyone out there had some commentary on anything idiotic I may be
putting down as my requirements ;-)
Backup software to be used: Symantec Enterprise Netbackup 6.5, we'll be
procuring 1 master server, and 2 media
I was wondering if anyone out there had seen a bug/error similar to what
I'm describing below...
Master is 5.0 MP4 (Sol 8)
Client is 5.0 MP4 (Win2k3)
Scenario A (backup works): multistreamed backup with Windows Open File
backup disabled
Scenario B (fails with SC195 and/or SC211): multistreamed
All,
I've got an Stk SL3000 tape library running in a 6.5MP2A on Solaris 10
(with the standard engineering binary fix) environment that does not
allow media to be ejected from it's CAP .
Netbackup is able to send the command to move the tape from a slot to
the CAP, and the tape ends up there,
Sorry no, not using ACSLS.

I did exactly what you described here below last year. We went from a
stand-alone Solaris 8 V880 (we had a VVR replicating non-HA setup
going) to RHEL 4 Update 4, on IBM x3650's using Storage Foundations High
Availability global cluster option (VVR + VCS essentially). We also
changed host names.
I'd recommend you look into native partitioning options for the SL8500.
We have a couple SL3000's that we've purchased the logical partitioning
(not ACSLS) licensing for, and it works great and really easy to setup.
License wasn't the cheapest, but didn't break the bank either.
Were you performing hot-catalog backups? Here's a snip from the email I
get after each catalog backup (incremental or full), maybe this will
