[Veritas-bu] Excluding jobs for file systems when using ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES
Solaris master, 5.0 MP5, also on MP1 before upgrade...I'm noticing mostly on Linux clients that using the common combination of multiple streams and the directive ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES creates streams for removable / auxilliary / pseudo / memory / kernel file systems like:/dev/pts/proc/proc/bus/*/dev/shm/media/*Generally, I have these listed in exclude_list. No data is slurped from them and written to tape.Is there a way to prevent these streams from ever being created in this scenario? It would be nice to not have the chaff.As a sub-topic ... and maybe both of these are feature requests ... it also would be nice if a file system mount point is in the exclude list a job should not be created for that file system either.Thanks, Jim VandeVegt VandeVegt @t yahoo.com, Jim.VandeVegt @t PhysiciansMutual.com Eliminate the IRS and put the fair consumption tax in place.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Cleaning Tape Process NBU 5.1 Not functioning
Dean pegged the problem with the library reading the rightmost characters, not the leftmost set. Find your library manual and fix that. Delete the incorrect tape entry entirely and reinventory to get the tape defined correctly (or just manually fix it all - check the vmquery output for your current tape to make sure it's defined as a cleaning tape). Barcode rules are intended for automatically managing more than one tape. For example, for cleaning tapes, my barcode rule is ==rule number: 0barcode tag: CLNmedia type: HC_CLNpool name: Nonecleanings: 50description: HCART Cleaning Tape== The "tag" value is simply "CLN". Any tape injected starting "CLN" will be added as a HCART cleaning tape. You probably shouldn't define a barcode rule for a single tape - it's just wasteful and doesn't help you on the next cleaning tape to be injected. I've got barcode rules that identiffy all tape numbers greater than 5000 to be LTO2 tapes while tapes less than this are LTO1 tapes. Very magical when managing more than one type of tape in your library.

Bad tape or tape drive. You've eliminated this. 2. A full disk staging unit. You're not using DSSUs. 3. Connectivity issues between media server and tape drive. This is where the fun happens... Check your switch ports for errors on the ports. I had this happen when I had my ISLs set for 2Gbps and found out later that the fibre wasn't capable of being driven at 2Gbps for that distance. I dropped my ISL speed to 1Gbps and it's working fine (still out of spec and giving me buffer credit issues but error-free from the backup point of view). My fibre is actually being replaced now. Have a good look at your SAN switch logs and the host error logs. When I had my issue, I was logging scsi errors on the hosts (even though the drives are on the other end of a fibre/scsi bridge). .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

[Veritas-bu] Performance Tuning with mixture of SDLT and LTO-2
Hi folks,
I'm looking into the performance tuning side of things in Netbackup 5.1
I have been checking the stats in the bptm logs and it looks like we
could get some performance gains by tweaking SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS and
NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS. The Data Producer has much larger wait values than
the Data Consumer.
We are using a L700 Tape Library which has 6 SCSI attached SDLT
drives(Quantum SDLT 320) and 2 fibre attached LTO-2 drives(IBM Ultrium
TD2 38D0).
According to the VERITAS documentation , the SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS value
should be set depending on the Max IO size of the drives used. We are
currently running with only one media server so how should we choose the
value ?
I don't know the MAX IO sizes for the two different types of drives but
I'm guessing they are going to be different. If anyone know the MAX IO
sizes for those drives please let me know.
Any suggestions on how to tackle the problem of the diffent types of
drives ?
If we add a couple of media servers then I guess I would just vary the
values on each media server and restrict the media servers to using one
drive type only. In the menatime, that is not an option.
Thanks.
Paul

Re: [Veritas-bu] Cleaning Tape Process NBU 5.1 Not functioning
The problem will be in the setup of your library, not in NetBackup. You are reporting the rightmost 6 characters of the barcode. Normally the library will read the 'L1' 'L2' etc and identify the tape type - NetBackup does not see those letters.Hunt in the library manuals for how to set the way the library handles barcodes. I don't know about EVL libraries - what are they underneath the HP badge? Or I could walk round...!
