Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU6.5.2a Solaris 10 Hot Catalog backup failing
Looks like we have a resource problem - cpu utilization on master sitting at 100% all the time. Might be a combination of VBR data collection on master and 6.5.2 being more resource intensive...

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU6.5.2a Solaris 10 Hot Catalog backup failing
We periodically get the 227 error and that is often accompanied by an entry in the problem report (search for the master server having the issue) which implies that the catalog policy has exceeded it's maximum number of configured attempts. This will just randomly occur and after that point it won't run a scheduled backup but will let me submit manual catalog backups. It notmally only complains about 1 schedule inside the catalog policy (We have a night and day schedule within the catalog policy). Our fix for this requires the catalog policy to be deleted and then cycling of all the NBU services. Once NBU is back up create a new catalog policy and normally things are fine again. We found that this would normally coincide with our master server getting beat up with regard to CPU and memory so we now have a script which restarts the NBU services on a weekly basis to clear out any old or lingering NBU processes which might be hanging onto resources. Hope this is somewhat helpful.

[Veritas-bu] Clarity on new tech alert (some NBU 6.5.x)
Anyone else seen this? http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/311581.htm The description is a bit ambiguous so I'm trying to get clarity: A potential for missed backups without notification has been discovered in NetBackup Server/Enterprise Server when calendar based schedules have a configured window spanning midnight and go Active after midnight. This may result in a client backup not running during the next open window for any calendar based schedules configured in the same policy. This is independent of the scheduled backup type being configured as Full or Incremental. Does this refer to jobs going active after midnight or the policy itself being made active after midnight? I think it's referring to when queued jobs go active after midnight but wanted to be sure.

Re: [Veritas-bu] bocada software for monitoring
We are also using Aptare for our backup monitoring of both NetBackup (15+ domains) and TSM (50+ instances). We have been using Aptare for monitoring on NBU for the past 3 years or so and it has been nothing short of stellar. We have had our TSM data reporting in for the past few months and our TSM teams are amazed at what this product does compared to what they had before. I'll tell you that we evaluated VBR and one of the strikes against it was that it didn't report on TSM as well as Aptare does. Take the products for a test drive for a couple of weeks and see which one suits you the best. I know that both Aptare and VBR will offer this service, not sure about Bocada, but I bet they do.
