Backup Exec 12.5 on Linux [RHEL5.4]
We recently purchased a license for using the Linux Agent on a number of dell servers (the software was also purchased from dell). We have been using an old version of BE in our Dublin office for years, and it uses Unix Agent V4.5 However the version installed in our BLR office is the new BE 12.5 I have installed the new agent from the CD, and set it up correctly, and can see it on the media server, but there is no folder hierarchy selection visible. On the old BE, we had to publish folders so the media server could see them, but I cant seem to find documentation on this for the new one. Has anyone got any experience with this? The reason I am posting this here is I doubt Dell in cherrywood would entertain my requests for help as the server is in India, and server support down there is a pita to deal with remotely.

Ive been mucking about with nagios for the last few months.

Strange networking issue
I have a PE2850, running RHEL5.4, with a two port intel card in it. One port from both onboard and PCI NIC connect to the network in an active-backup bond. Yesterday at about 2pm we had a broadcast storm on one of the switches, and eth0 failed over to eth3. Everything was running fine (I didn't even notice the failover, nor did users). At 6pm, we had another strange networking issue (not sure what yet, but one of our VMware HA boxes decided to no longer be available by heartbeat). The eth3 interface dropped this: Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: e1000: eth3: e1000_clean_tx_irq: Detected Tx Unit Hang Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: Tx Queue 0 Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: TDH a9 Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: TDT 93 Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: next_to_use 93 Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: next_to_cleana9 Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: buffer_info[next_to_clean] Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: time_stamp 4257186b Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: next_to_watcha9 Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: jiffies 42573ee7 Jun 24 18:07:43 ccvobdubpr kernel: next_to_watch.status 0 There was no failover message.

RE: Help with multipath failover
Sorry for the delay in responding to this. I was away at the end of last week.
Anyways, to test I was running a ping from one terminal and then using the
other terminal to run multipath -ll, and as far as I can see the actual
multipathing is fine. However the machine isn't in the office and there is
no-one on site till the morning.
What method would you suggest to measure if the I/O is interrupted? I would
have thought if the ping was unsuccessful, then so to would be read/writes?
I also have two other quick questions:
1. Where do you go about deleting multipath configuration? When I use multipath
-F it tells me the map is in use, so I stopped the service and logged out of
the node, but the error stays the same.
2. Is there any tools you would recommend for monitoring read/write access to
the SAN once it is in production? I just want to be able to monitor, preferably
in real time, the read/write speeds, and whether there is bottlenecks - eg with
the network to the SAN.
Thanks for all the help

Well you are testing link failover and not I/O failover then .. (:
I would ideally try to do I/O through one path yank out the cable and watch the
I/O failover to the other path...
That is probably what you want to ensure if you want to use dm-multipath..
Also, make sure you change the configuration for failback from immediate to
queue so that you won't see immediate I/O failures and see the I/O safely
failover to the other path.

RHEL 5.3 Multipathing question
I am setting up a RHEL5.3 machine connected to an iSCSI SAN (PS6000). The machine is a PE2850. I have two onboard network ports and an Intel NIC with two ports. One from each is connected to our lan, and the other on each is connected to our SAN network, which is segregated from everything else. This is my first time setting up access for something with fault tolerance (previously it was all just for testbeds etc). I *had* originally set up the two SAN nics as a bond with the failover set to active-passive. As I was reading more documentation, I came across multipathing, and I am wondering if it is needed in my case. The machine is going to be the only machine connected to the LUN presented by the PS6000. The LUN is 500Gb, and this will be chopped down further using the OS (either ext3 or ext4) into 10x50Gb logical volumes. Is multipath really needed and/or necessary in this case? Why? I9m looking at setting it up anyways, but im in a bit of a rush and would rather not put things I don't fully understand on a production box.

RE: Reverse DNS lookup syslog (Debian 4.0)
Correct me if im wrong, but the way I understood it was:
Client connects to server, asks server to run application running on port 2401
{cvspserver}. Syslogd traps this request with an entry to syslog with the
connect string. Simultaneously to this request logging, runcvs kicks off the
actual cvs binary with its settings.
How would the runcvs be generating the entry, and if that *is* the case how do
I change it to catch the machine name?
Thanks

Subject: Re: Reverse DNS lookup syslog (Debian 4.0)
Im running Debian 4.0 on a number of PowerEdge servers here and I am having
some issues with syslog. These machines run various applications. In this
case ill take cvs. When a remote machine connects to cvs I get : Feb 12
14:54:04 buzz runcvs[1533]: connect from 172.16.165.144 (172.16.165.144)
I guess connect from 172.16.165.144 (172.16.165.144) is generated by runcvs
not syslog nor syslog-ng. You have to force runcvs to do the lookup.

NICs in RHEL / PE2850
I am setting up a 2850 to do some testing for moving our code repositories over to SAN storage. I have a pe2850 with two onboard NICs and a dual port PCI nic. All four ports are coming up as Intel e1000 ports. Is there any way of telling from inside the OS which exact port eth0,1,2,3 actually are? Ive seen RHEL change port around before, and I was just wondering how to check which interface corresponds to which physical port, as this will probably be important when we implement it. On another note, has anyone got any suggestions on how to keep memory usage at about 80% while doing benchmark tests? I want to compare the read/write speed of local vs SAN storage, while the machines are in use. However the chances of getting to do it in the live environment are zero. If I can keep the memory usage at about 85% [cpu load is about .4 so is pretty negligible] I would have some data to look at.

On reboot it checked the drives (uptime had been about 300days +) and after a while everything came up fine. The system is running Debian 4. Everything in Server Administrator is green. No errors logged from that time. Doesn't seem to be anything in /var/logs either. Any suggestions on what *might* be the cause. Im going to run diags when I get a chance.
