Re: [Veritas-bu] nbcc error on nbu 5 to 6 upgrade

2008-08-18 Thread Anders Thome

Hi!
I had a similar inconsistency result, this is the reply from support:

"There are several reasons for these tapes to be listed, the most common
of these is that when you ran the consistency checker the tapes were
waiting to be deassigned during the next catalog cleanup process, as
there are not a large number of tapes I am thinking that this is
probably the case. If this is indeed the case, then there should be no
problem with performing the upgrade. "

I then ran a: " \NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpmedialist >
media.txt" sent the media.txt back to them and he replied after about an
hour that it was OK and that we were safe to upgrade.

Regards
Anders

Subject: [Veritas-bu] nbcc error on nbu 5 to 6 upgrade

Guys i'm doing an upgrade and have an error when running nbcc.

Solaris 8 on sparc going from nbu 5.0 to 6.0mp4

The error is :-

CONSISTENCY_ERROR Oper_16_4

on the media db pass (2 of 3)

I have found this from googling and its going to be difficult to get a
case opened quickly (due to work politics) so i'm wondering if anyone
has any experience remedy advise?


- Media DB Integrity Operational Checks:

 Oper_16_4 - Occurs during the checking of the Media DB.  This

 inconsistency code indicates that the media ID is assigned

 in the Volume DB, that there are no images in the Image DB

 and that the media has not already been targeted to be

 FROZEN.

Re: [Veritas-bu] 6.5.2A media server with 6.5.1 master server

2008-08-18 Thread Jann Toole



We had a simular issue after the 6.5.2A patch install. No backups
would start. Tho' we put the patch on master and server.
Support referenced tech-note:
http://support.veritas.com/docs/307105

Support had me remove obsolete clients in /usr/openv/netbackup/db/client
I had 48 clients no longer in active backup policies. After cleaning that
out and bouncing the services, backups kicked off. Had a couple little 
side issues with the devices, but not related to the patch.

hope that helps.

There are lots of compatibility rules and these are clearly documented.  You
should read http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/264767.htm.  I think
you'll see that what you are trying to do is NOT supported.

Re: [Veritas-bu] 6.5.2A media server with 6.5.1 master server

2008-08-18 Thread Clausen, Matt R [EQ]

According to both Symantec support and Symantec Education Services you can't 
run a media server at a higher patch revision then the master. The order of 
upgrading needs to be (in this order): master server(s) --> media server(s) --> 
client(s).

In my environment (NBU 6.5.2) VCB backups work when I use 
Virtual Machine Backup = 0
or
Virtual Machine Backup = 1

Failure rate is higher when Virtual Machine Backup = 2

Re: [Veritas-bu] VCB backup failing thru proxy server.

2008-08-18 Thread Martin, Jonathan

I had a ticket open with Symantec for a while with similar issues and
it's a known bug with 6.5.2A.  ETA on a fix was 6.5.4.  If you switch
your snapshot client options to Virtual Machine Backup = 0 it should
work.

That's the key question.  I read his note to say that they were connected to
the 2nd Media Server but he wants to write to them via the 3rd Media
Server.  If I read it correctly, he can't do what he wants.  If you read it
correctly, you're right and my answer was wrong.

We need to know *which* media server those 4 new drives are physically
connected to.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Media server installation

2008-08-18 Thread Sanjay . Chahar

Thanks all who have given me response.

I don't want the second media server drive is written or controlled by 
third media server. 
I want to add another four drive in my existing Tape Library & want to 
connect  that new four tape drive to third media server. 

One Tape library having one robot & eight drive, first four drive is 
already connected with my existing media server( second media server) & I 
want to add another four connect it to third media server.

Will it possible.

Thanks & regards

That's the key question.  I read his note to say that they were connected 
to the 2nd Media Server but he wants to write to them via the 3rd Media 
Server.  If I read it correctly, he can't do what he wants.  If you read 
it correctly, you're right and my answer was wrong.

We need to know *which* media server those 4 new drives are physically 
connected to.

 
So that being said, he would need to create a third robot instance which 
is defined as a remote robot and it would have the drives indexed as 
follows:
 
TLD(2): Remotely Controlled by Media Server #2:
Library Drive Index 1: Media Server 3 - Drive #1
Library Drive Index 2: Media Server 3 - Drive #2
Library Drive Index 3: Media Server 3 - Drive #3
Library Drive Index 4: Media Server 3 - Drive #4
 
So when NetBackup executes a job requiring usage of Media Server #3, it 
knows the robot is controlled by media server #2 and that the drives are 
controlled by media server #3. This robot can then be added to Storage 
Unit groups or policies, etc

Yes, you can do this and you don't need any special licensing to do so.

Very simple, just attach the 4 new drives to your new media server (SAN
or direct SCSI, it doesn't matter) and configure Netbackup to know that
the robotic control host is one of the original media servers.  This
configuration can be done via the device wizard in the admin console or
via tpconfig on the new media server.  That's it, nothing more to do.

There's not much hope of a different media server being able to write to
these tape drives.  If you want a system to share tape drives, you need some
sort of physical connection between the media server and the tape drives.

If you have a SAN but don't have your tape drives SAN connected, you could
consider a fibre to SCSI bridge and share those tape drives.  If you don't
have a SAN at all, the costs probably aren't justified.

Will this 3rd media server have direct access to the tape drives?  In other
words, are the tape drives SAN-connected or are they SCSI connected to the
existing media servers?

If the tape drives are SAN-connected, then what you want to do is fairly
straight-forward.  You need to purchase the Shared Storage Option licenses
and then you would configure the tape drives to use the right robot control
hosts.  You can dedicate tape drives to media servers - one way to do this
is to use SAN zoning.

[Veritas-bu] nbcc error on nbu 5 to 6 upgrade

2008-08-18 Thread Dave Markham

Guys i'm doing an upgrade and have an error when running nbcc.

Solaris 8 on sparc going from nbu 5.0 to 6.0mp4

The error is :-

CONSISTENCY_ERROR Oper_16_4

on the media db pass (2 of 3)

I have found this from googling and its going to be difficult to get a
case opened quickly (due to work politics) so i'm wondering if anyone
has any experience remedy advise?


- Media DB Integrity Operational Checks:

 Oper_16_4 - Occurs during the checking of the Media DB.  This

 inconsistency code indicates that the media ID is assigned

 in the Volume DB, that there are no images in the Image DB

 and that the media has not already been targeted to be

 FROZEN.

We have a fair bit of Linux and Windows in our environment. A key point 
for us is that Linux is *MUCH*MUCH* easier to recover from any sort of 
backups than Windows, especially if you don't have identical hardware to 
recover on. Remember that, in a disaster-recovery situation, one of the 
first things you'll need recovered is your master server.
