Re: [Veritas-bu] HBA-FC adapters for IBM3584 LTO-3
Sergey, We have had good experiences using both Emulex HBAs (LP9002 and LP1), and Sun Branded Qlogic HBAs (QLA2310) on our Sun systems. We've used them to connect to IBM3584's with LTO-1, LTO-2, and LTO-3 drives, and haven't run into any issues with either type of HBA. I would be curious to know what issues you had with the Qlogic HBAs. -Devon -- Message: 4 Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2006 15:06:11 +0400 From: "Evsyukov, Sergey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Veritas-bu] HBA-FC adapters for IBM3584 LTO-3 To: Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hello colleagues, We are planing to use SUN E25K (Solaris 9) as media server.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.0
Title: NBU 6.0 We are going from NB5.0MP5 to 6.0 MPX next month. Due to many issues - including corrupt images, massive policy changes, and most importantly, the perceived difficulty involved with migrating from Windows 2003 to Solaris 10 environments, I've decided to leave the existing server online and just zone off the HBAs from our Storagetek. If I need to restore, zone off the new server and boot the old box. Is this too simplistic an approach? We hardly ever do restores from tape. 99% of restores take place from snapshots on our NetApps gear.

[Veritas-bu] ksh93 WAS: RE: Script to collect hourly data...
Title: Message
Joe,
Sorry
this reply is not about your script per se, and arguably off-topic, but may be
of interest to many script hackers here:
_If_
you are going to use ksh for this kind of thing, then there is no reason why you
should be shackled to the ksh 88 variant which is still being shipped with a lot
of platforms.
David
Korn et al produced a new version, ksh93, which is being regularly updated and
maintained by him and colleagues at AT&T Research.
It is
also now open source (although you have to "sign" an agreement to download it,
but it's no big deal).
Note
that this is not pdksh, which is shipped with some versions of
Linux.
In
fact Redhat is now shipping ksh93 I believe.
However, anyone can download ksh93 (and other
things) for a variey of platforms, from:
http://www.research.att.com
"software tools"->"ast"
or
http://www.research.att.com/sw/download/
See
also
http://www.kornshell.com/
I
should say that I use ksh93 (on Solaris and Linux) every day, and I think
it's great (and I'd like to see others get the benefit of
it).
The
only thing I would say is that it lacks something in the documentation
department.
There
is an updated(-ish) version of the classic reference book by Bolsky & Korn,
which does cover ksh93 (though probably not recent point
releases).
A more
approachable book is "Learning the Korn Shell" by Rosenblatt & Robbins,
which is very good, although not quite as comprehensive as I would like, and it
is also slightly out of date.
There
is also quite an active mailing list pointed to from the AT&T
site
One of
the big advantages of ksh93 over ksh 88 is that it supports floating point
arithmetic.
Another is that it has extensive support for regular
expressions, approaching the power of perl in that respect, although the syntax
is slightly different. I believe that the very latest version has a "match"
operator,, =~ similar to perl, which may permit the same sort of regexes, but I
have not tried this yet. ( believe there is actually a bug in the one currently
available, but the fixed version should be out soon. Check the change log when
you download.
Happy
scripting,
Regards,
Mike
Ellwood
p.w.
In "ast", there is also a unix emulator for windows, uwin, similar to cygwin,
which works pretty well I've found, giving you a ksh command line to a windows
machine, vi, etc.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Multiplexing
That's good for backup speeds, but it sucks for restores. Unless all of your clients have really slow network connections, having a high multiplexing value is not really a good idea. You might want to consider dropping the multiplexing down to something like 6. Our configuration uses VTL's to our first backup copy and then I use vault to put it to physical tape. I multiplex to the VTL and single-stream to the physical tapes. Once it is on the physical tape, we have a script that will bpexpdate the copy 1 image on the VTL (this is not an automatic option in NetBackup until version 6.x). When you do a restore from a physical tape, you have a single-stream copy and not one that is multiplexedthis makes for a faster restore. --stuart -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of WEAVER, Simon Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2006 11:22 PM To: 'Mansell, Richard'; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Multiplexing Richard Yes I use multiplexing a lot NBU 5.1 Master MP2 + 2 SAN Media Servers 4 drives in a robot - using SSO 1 Storage Unit set to multiplex 25 jobs per drive (Master) 2 SAN Storage Units set to use 2 drives, multiplex 8 per drive Seems to work - get a lot of jobs done - around 300 per night if that helps.

[Veritas-bu] confirm procedure for NDMP agent upgrade
I am upgrading a solaris server from 4.5 to 5.1. The server currently uses NDMP. The manual for ndmp does not mention the procedure for an upgrade install of the ndmp package. I intend to remove the ndmp package before I remove the netbackup packages (selecting Y to part of an upgrade). Then when netbackup 5.1 is installed I will install the 5.1 ndmp agent. Is removing the NMDP package prior to the upgrade the correct procedure?

[Veritas-bu] Restarting netbackup with netapp
Title: Restarting netbackup with netapp Nb 5.0 mp6 Solaris 9 We are having issues with restarting netbackup and having our netapp tape drive interface hang. The other day we had to stop netbackup while backup jobs were running on the filer using the NDMP protocol. After netbackup was down and then brought back up some of the tape drive interfaces (we have fiber LTO3 drives attached to the filers) would hang. Upon further investigation it seems that the filer still had a "job" on the tape drive even though no day was being sent from the filer. We are suspecting that when netbackup comes down the command from netbackup to filer to stop its "job" is either not getting there at all or is taking too long. The "fix" is to turn the tape drive off and on or down and up the interface on the switch. Both force a rescan by the filer to re establish communications. We are running the latest code from netapp. Has anyone else ran into this issue? Also what is the recommend, best practice way to stop netbackup while you have jobs running?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Is this possible ....
We use the Advanced Client add-on for 5.1 (another licence - name may be changed in v6.0). One of our media servers is configured to see the same SAN disks as the servers which we want to back up. Throughput seems to be very roughly twice what we would get over the 1 GB LAN. Nothing is mounted to the media server but the Advanced Client client effectively passes over the network to the media server a list of locations of blocks to back up, which the media server then sources directly from the SAN. There are a lot of different options in Advanced Client and dependencies over what volume management, switches etc. etc. you can use, so read up on it first. It's also might be an issue that all the SAN disks are visible from multiple places. There are also differences in the way RMAN backups work using Advanced Client, which advise thorough testing. Works quite well for us though. cheers, Phil -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew Stier Sent: 27 July 2006 16:34 To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Is this possible Back in January, I replace my old SCSI attached tape library. I now have an Overland Storage NEO8000 with 6 drives, plus a REO9000 which is sliced into multiple 1TB partitions which I have mounted on my media server (Sun Microsystems Ultra Enterprise 450 running Solaris 8 and NetBackup 5.1mp5) to use as DSSU's. In the next two months, I will be switching from systems with direct attached drives, (which I backup over the network) to a full SAN. Do I continue as I have? Backing up the clients over the (1000Base-T) network? Can the DSSU partition be shared between the client and the media server, and client write directly to the DSSU, and the media server write it to tape? Can the media server mount the clients (SAN) volume, and back it up to the DSSU directly.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Solais 10 client on 4.5?
Title: Message We are backing up Solaris 10 clients to a NetBackup 4.5 master (using the NBU 4.5 client). Only problem is, they end with status 1 as the client doesn't understand the fs type of /system/contract and /system/object - putting these or /system in the exclude list doesn't help. So potentially this will mask any other files that are failing & would normally cause a status 1. There's more thinking to be done if you are using Solaris zones, around what you want to back up in each zone - I haven't really played with that yet.

Has anyone had success with a Solaris 10 client on a 4.5 Master? We are attempting to do one with a 5.1MP3 client but I'm running into problems. I'm currently not sure if it's due to Solaris 10, the newer client version, or something else (I'm betting on something else as we've used a newer version on 64bit clients with success). Thanks!

Re: [Veritas-bu] RES: RES: NBU 5.1 MP2 adding additional 2 driv es
Title: Message Carlos Thank you. If I am doing this wrong, tell me but... From the NBU GUI Window, expand Media & Device Management Next, expand ROBOTS In the right side window, it shows the drives. There are also 3 TABS at the bottom (Drives, Robots, HOSTS) I assume, I right click on the right side, click NEW which then brings up the ADD DRIVE Window.

After this you need to change the Storage Unit adding the new drive. To test if the configuration was OK you can use the robtest utility (CLI) move a tape of a slot to new tape drive and moves to slot again. T+ Carlos Alberto Lima dos Santos Eng.
