Re: [Veritas-bu] Status 14 but with exclude list plus open file disabled

Thanks.

The problem is i cant remove the RSM service ( if thats whats referred
to in the technote ) as it is actually used on this client. I also
cannot stop and start it (AFAIK) while a backup runs.

I just cant understand if i have excluded *.wci and disabled open file
backups why is it still having problems.

Cheers

 Strange problem i have posted about before where im getting a status 14
 on a windows client.

 Master server is Solaris 9 running Netbackup 5.0mp7.

 I am getting status 14 on full backups and the error is a known problem
 :-

 WRN - Content Indexing Server: unable to pause catalog: Web (some files
 may not get backed up).

 The technote says to exclude all .wci files which i have done and i have
 also disabled open file backups for the server.

 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?

 Thanks

Re: [Veritas-bu] Status 14 but with exclude list plus open file disabled -NEW INFO

2007-08-15 Thread Dave Markham
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

Re: [Veritas-bu] Status 14 but with exclude list plus open file disabled

2007-08-13 Thread ckstehman
Greetings, 

We had similar problems backing up a group of Windows servers through a 
firewall.  The the network traffic was so high
that the connection would be closed by the windows client.  I have a 
workaround (a regristry hack) that seems to work.
If the box is UNIX, there may be parameter you can change in ifconfig to 
help.  You may be getting the 14 errors for
another reason,  this may help

Here is the regristry hack that we got from Symantec:

Symptom: 
Windows 10060 and 10054 TCP/IP errors in the NetBackup logs 
Solution: 

The 10060 and 10054 errors in the NetBackup logs can be related to dropped 
connections due to a timeout, which can occur quite often under congested 
networks. It is possible to increase the likelihood of keeping client 
connections alive in the event of temporary congestion by increasing the 
value of the TcpMaxDataRetransmissions parameter in the server registry.
1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). 

2. Locate the following key in the registry: 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters 
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value , and then add the following registry 
value: 

Value Name: TcpMaxDataRetransmissions 
Data Type: REG_DWORD 
Value: 6 
4. Quit Registry Editor and reboot for the changes to take effect. 

The default value for this is 5 and should gradually be increased until 
you find the desired result. 

It is also possible to increase the TcpMaxConnectRetransmissions. This 
parameter determines the number of times TCP will retransmit a connect 
request (SYN) before aborting the attempt. The retransmission timeout is 
doubled with each successive retransmission in a given connect attempt. 
1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). 

2. Locate the following key in the registry: 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters 
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value , and then add the following registry 
value: 

Value Name: TcpMaxConnectRetransmissions
Data Type: REG_DWORD 
 Value: Default: 3 (in Windows NT) 
   Default: 2 (in Windows 2000) 

4. Quit Registry Editor and reboot for the changes to take effect. 

This value should be increased by incrementals of 1.

Note : If the host is off the network,  the connection will take longer to 
timeout depending on the values above, therefore increase the values 
gradually
