[Veritas-bu] Frozen tape characteristics?

[Veritas-bu] Storage Group Ordering Question

Re: [Veritas-bu] Frozen tape characteristics?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Frozen tape characteristics?
Point of clarification. The only differences between FROZEN and SUSPENDED: 1) Suspending has to be done manually 2) When all the images on a SUSPENDED tape have expired the tape will be re-used. Otherwise they are treated the same in that NetBackup will read from the tape if a restore needs it.

[Veritas-bu] SOLUTION - Serious master issue...
Hi all, We got Syamntec consulting to find and solve the problem for us.. (of course for a price) They found that we had 3 oracle clients that very querying the image database like crazy... Which caused bpdbm and bprd to start new process all the time.. When I presented this for support they all of a sudden found that this was a known problem which where to be solved in MP7. We have 3 oracle crosschecks from 3 different clients which had been running for over a month causing these problems. Answer from support: As promised here is a list of possible workarounds which may help relieve the problems you are experiencing. The bug report that we have opened for this is titled RMAN catalog maintenance functions taking too long and use excessive resources on the master server. - Workaround: Until the fix is released in a NetBackup Maintenance Pack, there are several things which can decrease the time required for RMAN maintenance. Implement these recommendations in the order shown, testing after each change, until the maintenance time required is within an acceptable time. - Schedule crosscheck or other maintenance functions to run more frequently. If they are running only once a day, schedule them to run several times during the day. - If there are multiple Oracle hosts running maintenance functions, stagger the start time of the jobs so they do not overlap. - Change the RMAN script so there are multiple backup files or logs per backup set rather than a single file or log per set. - Change the RMAN script so the backup piece name format statement includes_%t as the last format specification. Now I will raise hell and learn Symantec support (especially the once we had in US) some really nasty Swedish words. :-) I would like to thank all of you on this list, you have been great.

[Veritas-bu] bpstart/bpend and requeued jobs (134)
I have a minor problem with a set of bpstart and bpend notify scripts and jobs that are requeued. A quick background on my scripts: the bpstart script creates a snap-shot of a volume, and then using Volume Manager mounts that snap-shot volume to a Media server to back it up. After the bpstart script runs it creates a lock file to prevent a duplicate backup job from starting (either through a fluke of the scheduler or by mistake of an admin). The bpend script unmounts the volume and destroys the snap-shot. The bpend script usually takes between two and five minutes to complete (depending on the size of the volume snapped), and when the bpend script is finished is when it removes the lock file created by the bpstart script. This means if a job is requeued and then goes active while the bpend script is still running the job will fail with a 73 (bpstart exits with a non-zero status) because of a lock meant to prevent duplicate backup jobs. My other concern is I don't need to create, and then destroy the snap-shot each time the job is requeued. I'd prefer to have the bpend script test if the job was requeued and if so to not run and setup the bpstart script to also not run (as long as the drive is mounted). I've tried to mitigate this with some logic, but apparently (conversely to what Symantec told me) the status code 134 is not passed to the bpend script upon requeing. I did some testing and have one days worth of data that indicates the status code sent to bpend is 66 when a job is requeued. My question is: Has anybody else run into a similar problem with bpstart and bpend notify scripts and requeued jobs? If so, what have you done with your scripts to mitigate it? Is the status code 66 the typical status code you will see with a requeued job? Or is the status code different depending on the reason the job was requeued? Thanks in advanced!

[Veritas-bu] NetBackup upgrade to 6.0 and Shared Storage Option
Hi, Currently we are running NB 5.0 and doing LAN-based backups. We have one tape library (StorageTek L180) that is directly connected to the master server. We'll be upgrading our backup infrastructure with the following changes: 1) two master servers running NB 6.0 on Sun Solaris 10/SPARC that are clustered using VCS 5.0 2) we'll be doing SAN-based backups using NB's SSO option. Even though I did read through Shared Storage Option (SSO) Topics of Veritas NetBackup 6.0 Media Manager SA's Guide page by page, I still have a few questions: 1) How does Veritas license SSO? Is it based on tape drives? 2) Does each master/media server that will be sharing the tape drives need an individual SSO license, or one single SSO license is needed and can be installed on all the servers? 3) We'll be connecting the L180 to the SAN switch during the upgrade. Do we just connect the robot to the FC switch, or we need to connect the robot and all of the tape drives that are in it to the FC switch? 4) We'll be running EMM on the master servers which will act as the host allocating and deallocating tap drives. Do the master servers need to be connected to the SAN? TIA, and have a nice weekend!

Re: [Veritas-bu] Frozen tape characteristics?
Frozen tapes can still be read. For example, my Frozen tapes are still selected by Vault for copying. The read of data off the Frozen tape is a restore of sorts. Frozen is like Suspended (NetBackup will no longer write to it), except that it's sticky when the images on the tape expire.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Frozen tape characteristics?
Thank you for everyone's input on this issue. Much appreciated! On Fri, 16 Feb 2007, Wayne T Smith wrote: Frozen tapes can still be read. For example, my Frozen tapes are still selected by Vault for copying. The read of data off the Frozen tape is a restore of sorts. Frozen is like Suspended (NetBackup will no longer write to it), except that it's sticky when the images on the tape expire. Vault, at least v5.1 uses Suspend to help manage its output tapes. cheers, wayne Justin Piszcz wrote, in part, on 2/16/2007 4:19 AM: Quick frozen tape question, I need to re-visit the docs. When a tape is frozen, no more backups can be written to it. When a tape is frozen and it is part of a restore, what happens? It says the media is unavailable or does it try to do the restore?

[Veritas-bu] V-80-33 Could not Create ORB / V-80-10231 Error initializing ServiceManager.
Hello All I wonder if anyone had come across the follwoing error messages: VERITAS: V-80-33 Could not Create ORB. VERITAS: V-80-10231 Error initializing ServiceManager. VERITAS: V-80-49 CORBA::Exception caught while resolving RootPOA, system exception, ID 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/BAD_PARAM:1.0' We started seeing them after an upgrade to NetBackup 6. I suspect they come from ICS / PBX packages and I do not think they affect NetBackup functionality. Nevertheless, I wonder what this means and how to get rid of them.
