RE: [Veritas-bu] Resource requirements for NBU 6?
I realize that, but I was wondering how it stored the lists in the database by default, as it is not a plain text OR flat file anymore. -Original Message- From: Greenberg, Katherine A [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 9:06 AM To: Piszcz, Justin; Ed Wilts; List Veritas List Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Resource requirements for NBU 6?

From everything I've heard/read, the memory requirements are higher, but not sure about CPU. Since all of the Media Manager stuff is running on the Master and all the db info for the device and media side of things will be housed only on the master in a Sybase DB, the new req's are based on that.

RE: [Veritas-bu] migration to a new server - Followup question
All Policy, schedule and client info as well as images are all in the /usr/openv/netbackup/db dir. /usr/openv/volmgr/database holds info regarding the volume pools. Dont forget the change the bp.conf file on all clients/media servers to reflect the new master server. Remember first line is supposed to be : SERVER = master server Regards, Jim Peppas ---Original Message--- From: Dan Dobbs [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] migration to a new server - Followup question Sent: 18 Nov '05 23:11 So, the procedure would be to install NetBackup on the new server, and then tar them on the old box, move them over, and unzip these files into their proper directories? How about schedules, clients, all that? Is that encompassed in this plan, or is that a different file system that needs to come over as well? Thanks again! -dd stefanos [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/7/2005 3:09:38 AM No , there is no way to do this. Always the request will be from the real server name. That's why you must put both virtual and real server name to the server list of all netbackup clients (and media servers). As I write this is what the cluster aware installation of netbackup doing. Don't forget the cluster_name in the vm.conf.

This might be a dumb question, but does anyone know on Windows how to make the requests coming from netbackup come from a virtual name. So if my master servers real name is server1.domain.com and I create a virtual name in DNS of nbmaster.domain.com (with a different ip address of course) how can I make sure netbackup is going out using nbmaster.domain.com and not server1.domain.com? Both IP's are bound to the same network card on the server. I've tried to figure this out by just adding in the virtual name to one of my media managers. When looking in the logs all I see if the access denied message for server server1.domain.com. Thanks guys!

Both for small and big installations. The bigest is an isp with more than 200 network clients, 1master and 1 media server. We had problems with 4.5 but with 5.x no problem at all.But this is more personal (and customer) decision. For the migration, don't go through importing. Just copy the /netbackup/db and /volmgr/database directories (exclude the ltidevs robotic_def and globdb) Also DON'T copy the var folder (the license keys are bundle with the server name so if you copy the var folder netbackup will not come up). Take care for any link you may have inside the db folder (images perhaps) and any disk storage unit you may have (for space reasons). Run the ./volmgr/bin/vmglob -set_gdbhost $newmastername And the device configuration wizard only for the master server. Restart netbackup. Any other media server you may have will register the drives himself after some time. (but will be ready for backups immediately) Then run the command bpmedia -newserve $newmastername -oldserver $oldmastername After that the new master server is ready for use. Tip. Install the new master server with a virtual name and a different ip than the server name and ip. This will help any migration in the future. If you do this you must put the original server name to the netbackup server list of all systems and to put the cluster_name = $virtualname to the vm.conf file of the master server (This is equivalent to one node cluster installation and helps to migrate muster server between systems eliminating the name problem) stefanos -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Dobbs Sent: Saturday, November 05, 2005 12:30 AM To: Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] migration to a new server Greetings, all. Currently, we are running 5.1 on an HP-UX L-class box, with a couple 'bots (one old Surestore juke with (4) DLT4000s, one Neo juke with a DLT220). It seems to work reasonably well. We have a few hundred tapes 'in circulation'. So, we're probably one of the smaller sites that visit this list. :) We're taking the plunge, and planning a migration of our backup
