RE: [Veritas-bu] Database help

2006-01-04 Thread WEAVER, Simon

Sandy
Have you tried using a different tape to backup the DB? How large is it?
Is there any logging enabled to see at what point the backup of the DB
Fails?

Also, is it stored on a disk with sufficient space?
What is the retention periods? You could use bpexpdate to force them out of
Netbackup, and assuming the tapes are ok, you would need to Import ALL of
the tapes in 2 phases (from experience I can say it's a real nightmare to do
and takes approx 5 hours PER tape!)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Database help



Hello all,

NBDC 3.4.6/Solaris instance with NB Database backup issues.  I am pretty
much constantly getting 84's.  I know it's an old instance and before I go
down the road of modifying the database backups (I have narrowed it down to
the fact that the databases are too large / cannot span tape) I want to
check with you folk.

Is there any way to determine the specific failure point on the database
backup?  Can I remove some older tapes from the database and be able to
import them again?  If I can reimport, are there any gotchas I should be
aware of?

Thank you

I did 
believe (when I used to backup Exchange) that one license coverd all the 
exchange servers.

With 
Symantec now holding the NBU License rules, it could well 
change

Re: [Veritas-bu] Restore NBU tape with tar command?

2006-01-04 Thread ida3248b
Hello Andrew

Here is what I have from an earlier mail (for extract just change t to x)

I have had succes with listing the files on a tape with Netbackup tar when I 
know the blocksize.
For nonmultipexed tape, blocksize 256k:
/usr/openv/netbackup/tar -itvf norewind device -b 512

For multipexed tape, blocksize 256k:
/usr/openv/netbackup/tar -iMtvf norewind device -b 512

If remember correctly /usr/openv/netbackup/tar ++help gives a list of options

Regards
Michael

   I am in the process of putting together a disaster recovery plan in case 
our primary server goes down. This server is a stand-alone NBU server, 
backing up only itself, etc. I have no problems using NBU to do the recovery 
(bare metal restore, etc.), but those above me also require a vendor-
independent recovery plan, in case there are problems using NBU to recover 
the data. I have experimented with using the NBU version of tar, and have 
successfully restored files from the tape. My only question is this: is it 
possible to make tar continue to the next backup set on the tape 
automatically? Currently, I am only able to restore small pieces of the 
system at a time (looks like 2000k or so). I am familiar with the option to 
span multi-volume archives, but I would like to see if there is an option to 
(for lack of a better way to put it) start at a certain point on the tape and 
restore everything from that point on, without prompts for user intervention. 
(The requirements for the DR plan dictate that a user with little or no admin 
experience should be able to do the recovery... this is NOT my requirement, 
but one put on me by those above)
  
 Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hm 
what about Firmware for the SDLT tape drives?
Any 
loose cables / connections or possible to change Scsi

Not 
too sure why they feel the software is polling a drive could cause a

The

  Hm what about Firmware for the SDLT tape 
drives?
  Any 
  loose cables / connections or possible to change Scsi

  Not 
  too sure why they feel the software is polling a drive could cause a

  The

January 2006 14:10To: 
veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.eduSubject: [Veritas-bu] DLT drives 
going down
We have an issue 
of drives randomly going down every night. NBU 5.0 mp5 HP-UX 11.11 STK L180 
w/ STK 3400 scsi bridge.

For some reason, 
1 or more drives go down at random every night when backups run. Different 
tapes and different drives. Backups will be running fine and then drives 
begin to go down. These are SDLT320 drives. once they go down, you can't use 
robtest to move the tapes (medium not present error) or use the robtest 
unload command (device not present).

If we power 
cycle the scsi bridge, we can talk to the drives and do what ever we want. 
STK is claiming that there is something coming from the host that is 
"polling" the library from the physical layer (assume HBA). We have had the 
SA for the master/media server disable any polling and load the latest 
patches from HP to no avail. We have changed from auto index to a manual map 
index as well.

This was working 
from the end of June up until the second week in 
October.

Thoughts/suggestions?

Check that the /dev/rmt/* entries match the devices in the robot.  You can
see if they do by inserting a tape into the drive and then issuing  a
mt -f /dev/rmt/* status for the /dev/rmt/ number you have the drive 
configured
to.  It should show a device is present, if not then you have a 
configuration

issue.

IF it happens at the end of the job, may be worth checking the robot

Do the tapes STAY in the tape drives when the error appears? In other

Title: Message



Just 
curiousthose of you who admin your own zones/FC 
switches.

How do you zone your 
drives/servers?

for each HBA port, 
do you create a zone for the HBA port and all drives visable to 
it?
ie. one HBA 
and 3 drives = 1 zone?

ZONE_A = 
Server1_HBA0  DRIVE0  DRIVE1  DRIVE2
(then assuming 
SSO)

ZONE_B = 
Server2_HBA0  DRIVE0  DRIVE1  
DRIVE2

or do you set up a 
zone for each device?
ie. one HBA and 3 
drives = 3 zones.

ZONE_A = 
SERVER1_HBA0  DRIVE0

ZONE_B = 
SERVER1_HBA0  DRIVE1

ZONE_C = 
SERVER1_HBA0  DRIVE2
(again assuming SSO)

ZONE_D = 
SERVER2_HBA0  DRIVE0

ZONE_E =

ZONE_F = SERVER2_HBA0

 Also be aware of how DSSUs operate. They will keep images that have

 been moved onto tape available on the disk until the disk starts 
 getting full. Then as NBU needs more space it will start removeing

 older images. DSSU drives are almost always near full
 
 You should work to remove 2 DSSU pointing to
the same device for this reason. 

Yea i found that out. I just need to free up some
space until i'm able to partition the disk.

Which means i might have to rm anyway.

This makes it much easier if you ever have to swap an HBA (and we have
had one fail on our master/media server) - I only have to update 1
zone.

If you configure  port based zoning ,then you even don't have to make
zone changes -just swap the failed HBAs or drives .

 How do you zone your drives/servers?
  
 for each HBA port, do you create a zone for the HBA port and all 
 drives visable to it?
 ie. one HBA  and 3 drives = 1 zone?

Yup.  We create 1 zone per host (per fabric).

 ZONE_A = Server1_HBA0  DRIVE0  DRIVE1  DRIVE2 (then assuming SSO) 
 ZONE_B = Server2_HBA0  DRIVE0  DRIVE1  DRIVE2

In our case, our media server has a single zone on each fabric.  It
contains the WWNs of the HBA, the Fibre/SCSI bridges, and the storage
arrays for its DSSUs.

This makes it much easier if you ever have to swap an HBA (and we have
had one fail on our master/media server) - I only have to update 1 zone.

[Veritas-bu] UNIX RAW PARTITION RESTORE QUESTION....

2006-01-04 Thread BeDour, Wayne
Title: UNIX RAW PARTITION RESTORE QUESTION






All..

My original e-mail got stepped on by someone replying with another question in it, so I changed my subject and will ask my question again, here goes..

Our environment is HP-UX 11.11, Netbackup 5.1 MP3 backing up mostly HP unix with some Sun and Windows backups. I am doing a raw backup on one of the Sun servers and need to test the restore. I cant find any info on the steps for a raw restore, searched Symantics site and got lost, looked in the archives for this mailing list and came up with nothing. Looked in the System Administrators Guide and found very little. Can anyone point me to any Unix raw partition restore examples? My backup policy consists of 87 /dev/rdsk/c**t**d* entries. Can the restore be done via the gui? I know there is a Raw Partition Backups under the Restore Type pull down. But Im not sure what to do after that. I looked at the bprestore command and do not see anything referring to a raw restore. 

Any help or direction will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

RE: [Veritas-bu] EMC SIME with Exchange 2003

Title: Message









Yes, I am mounting it to the SIME server.
Yes, I can see the database files. Yes, I even tried copying these files to a
different directory. That is what I dont understand. I have no exclude
list yet when a backup runs for that directory, only the directories are backed
up, not the files themselves. I only know this is because when I bring up the
restore screen, I only see directories. The backup has a returned code of
zero.

Not
with SIME.











SIME
integrates with Exchange to take a snapshot of the exchange database to a
flatfile that can be backed up to tape, mounted on another exchange server.











basically
the same as telling SQL to do a hotbackup to a flat file, then using
netbackup to backup the flat fileno need for the SQL agent.











Kenneth,
are you mounting the snap on an second exchange server, starting exchange
services and backingit up from thereif so, then yeah, you would
need to use the exchange agent to backup that server.











you
should be just mounting the volume as a share on a regular windows server, and
backing it up as D:\, E:\ or whatever.











can
you see the database files when you browse for restore, before performing the
actual restore?

NetBackup 5.1  Solaris



Client: Exchange 2003 server.



I am using EMC SIME to backup
Exchange. On the SIME server where the copy of the Exchange database is
mounted, when I do a flat file backup of the Exchange database, I receive a
return code of zero. But when I tried to restore the Exchange files, I
only see the directories and never the actual database files. What am I
missing and has anyone run into this problem?



Thanks,

We're running NB 5.0 MP5 with two TLDs, TLD(0) and TLD(1).  

Any clues?
