[Veritas-bu] Version information after FP9 Upgrade
I just upgraded my Windows NBU 4.5 Datacenter client with FP9 patch. I use that Windows client basically for NBU Java Console to access my remote Solaris Master/Media server. The problem is that when I open "Help->About", it is still showing FP6 instead of FP9. I already checked the history.txt log file and no problem happened during the installation process. The file C:\Program Files\Veritas\Netbackup\version.txt shows correctly the patched version NetBackup 4.5FP_9S1443. How can I confirm that I really have FP9 Java Administrative console running in this machine?

[Veritas-bu] Write errors defaults
To all, hello, I have a general question regarding the way how NBU is handling the write errors on tape The default is 3 in 12 hours per tape on the same or different Tape drive So if there are write errors on tape is NBU marking the spots and continue or counting 3 x same spot How about restores for a tape with 2 errors ? It is my understanding that for the 2 errors the backup will exit with status 0 Any input will be greatly appreciated!

[Veritas-bu] loadvmmedia.ctl and loadbpmedia.ctl in goodies
FYI, Anybody who is using NB 5.x and is using the DIY database features found in /usr/openv/netbackup/goodies/mediascripts may have found this already. In my config, using an Oracle database, I had to amend two of the lines in the loadvmmedia.ctl script to properly insert the data from the vmquery.out file. The README file in this directory explains what all this does and how you could use it. The loadvmmedia.ctl and loadbpmedia.ctl scripts also explain what each one does. From the loadvmmedia.ctl file: off_slot POSITION(351:356) NULLIF (351:351)='-', off_ses_id POSITION(359:364) NULLIF (359:359)='-', While running the loadvmmedia.ctl script, it would fail on these two fields, and I had to add the NULLIF statements. After that, it all works fine.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 5.1 adn Solaris 10

[Veritas-bu] error code 134
As the first technote that Marianne cited states, large volumes of 134s almost always indicate an environmental issue, in my experience. Essentially, your media servers are probably being swamped by jobs for the duration of the backup window. I've seen this recently, where a couple of Win2k media servers, each with 4 non-SSO LTO2 drives, were trying to backup about 200 slow clients. MPX was set uncomfortably high, to 6 to be exact, but even so about 20% of the clients were hitting the queue and never getting a chance to get to tape. The solution was to stand up another media server, Solaris as it happens, which provided another 4 drives and allowed me to turn the multiplexing level down to 4. Hey presto, the 134s were never seen again.

[Veritas-bu] Re: Incrementals turning into full
I had this problem a while back when we were running NBU4.5 FP6. For some reason there was no record in the image catalog of a full ever running for the client in the Policy even though a full backup had run. If you check Installpath\NetBackup\db\images\hostname\ you will see folders named "somestringofnumbers" inside one of the folders there should be a file similar to policyname_numbers_FULL, and _FULL.f. If those files does not exist Netbackup assumes a full never ran for the Policy and by default will run a full backup regardless of the type of backup scheduled. We upgraded to 5.1 and this problem went away. As a workaround I was able to trick NBU into thinking a full ran by changing the backup selection of the Policy to include only a single file and then running the FULL schedule. I then changed the backup selections back to include all the data I wanted to backup and then incrementals ran as an incrementals should.

I will be looking this up shortly, but I forget where to find it – Specifically, when I add a box, I only see Solaris 7,8,9 and not 10 Sparc or X86, does anyone remember the command to fix this? Thanks, Justin.

Re: [Veritas-bu] cross mount points? NFS?
Also just check you have not got the follow symlink option checked in netbackup. Dave Jeff Cleverley wrote: Paul Keating wrote: I didn't do it, and I was as suprised as the next guy when I saw it. The backup ran real long (250 Gig, rather than the expected 2 Gig) so the admin of the box sent me a df output, so I just thought it was mounted on /mnt/filer then I browsed the backup image and said "WTF???" Paul, I'm seeing a similar thing associated with a new post I'll do. I found the df or bdf commands were not listing the "." directories. The backups were walking all of the .snapshot directories and backing up considerably more data than expected.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 5.1 adn Solaris 10
Hermawan, No media servers or clients can be at a higher level than your master server. So you'll need to patch the master, and the new media server, but not necessarily the other media servers.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Multiplexing / Streaming
Simon I believe this will happen - Your first job will kick off at 6PM with 3 streams. All these streams will go to one tape drive, because you have the MPX value on the schedule set at 3. The second policy will start at 7PM and generate another 3 streams. All these streams will go to a second tape drive, for the same reason. With the schedule's MPX setting at 3, you will never get more than 3 streams going to the drive that that schedule is backing up to, regardless of what MPX setting you have on the storage unit. I always set the MPX value on the schedule to the maximum (32 if I recall correctly) and manage the number of streams at the storage unit level. We could could give more specific real-world advice if we knew exactly what you are trying to do. Are the clients IP connected, or are they media servers? If IP, what network speed? What kind of tape drives? Do you want to be able to spread the I/O out across all 5 tape drives?

RE: [Veritas-bu] error code 134
Have a look at these TechNotes: http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/264495.htm Why is status 134 an appropriate status and DISABLE_RESOURCES_BUSY not suggested? http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/276200.htm STATUS CODE: A Status 134 "unable to process request because the server resources are busy" error occurs and jobs requeue. The client's bpbkar process unexpectedly runs up to hundreds of times within an hour. Also upgrade to the latest patch level - there are lots of fixes for 134.
