RE: [Veritas-bu] sending media to cap
Use vmchange. If your robot can eject to a mail port (some smaller ones
can't), you can use vmchange to eject the media. You just have to ensure
that you don't try to eject more than the mail slot can hold.
vmchange -vh `hostname` -res -m {tape id} -mt {media type} -rt none -v ---
-e -sec 1
I put that in a for loop that has the tapes to eject. You can limit the for
loop to the number of slot in the cap.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] sending media to cap
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Im beginning an off site routine and started by sending all tapes that were
used for the full back to the CAP. Then off site those tapes.
Well this poses an issue when attempting a restore from the full backup. So
I created a new Media pool and made copies that will use the new pool. After
the back up is completed I would like to have the media moved right to the
cap waiting for me to pick them up the next morning.
Just wondering where I might find this option for the auto send to cap
option, or if this is an option.
Thank you in advance,

That doesn't really hold up, though. if you have a tape with a 1 year retention on it, and write a backup to it every week, the only way you will get it back is if it fills up completely so that nothing else can write to it. You have to remember that NetBackup does not use space on the tape that been vacated by earlier images until ALL images have expired. Plus, just because the default is to group same retention doesn't mean that you _can't_ mix retentions. If you change the retention of ONE of the images to a longer retention, the tape won't be reclaimed until that one image expires. -- David Rock [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Re: [Veritas-bu] drives going down on media servers
thanks for your input, I have already disabled the RSM on the master. Let me give the entire rundown of the system. Master Server win 2000 NBU 5.1 MP4 Media Servers 2 Sun 480 Sol9 qlogic cards with Leadville drivers. Master and media servers are on their own internal Gb network. they are SAN attaced to the tape drives using Brocade switches. the drives are IBM and HP LTO2. when i run the backups on 1 media server the backups run fine. When I try to share the drives and run both master servers I get Permission denied in the messages files then 84,85 errors. In the bptm log I see the external event caused rewind. After talking with STK they told me the drive was getting inquiries from another system during the backup. I am lead to believe that the SCSI reserve is not being handled properly between the servers. since the SCSI reserve is supposed to be initiated when the drive is opened I would think it would not except any inquiries or SCSI commands until it was closed. My conclusion is the Leadville HBA drivers are not handling the SCSI reserve properly. But Sun says there is no problem call Veritas. Veritas tells me the error is given by io_ctl in the OS call Sun. thanks for your input it is nice not to be all alone in this. --- Dave Markham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Unbelievably i have seen this yesterday as a windows guy asked me if i > knew about it seeing as i support Netbackup on solaris. > > The fix he got which worked was to disable the Removable storage manager > service.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Tape Reclaimation
Mike NetBackup does not have this function mostly because it is not really required. NetBackup places images on a tape with the same retention until the tape is full. You should have very little partially used tapes because the images will expire very close in time. However, if you eject tapes often and they are not full then you could see low utilization. If you really need to do this you can use vault to duplicate the tapes and it does a consolidation during the duplication process.

Your only way to do this is to duplicate the images from partially filled tapes to a consolidated pool, then delete the original images. I suppose you could automate this so that it's TSM-like. However, since Netbackup, by default, only groups like retentions on a tape, all images on a tape should expire at roughly the same, eliminating the need to consolidate. -M -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Mike WigingtonSent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 7:54 AMTo: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.eduSubject: [Veritas-bu] Tape Reclaimation Does anyone know of a way to move images from one tape to another?

RE: [Veritas-bu] Media id's not appearing in NB media database
Hi It seems nobody has noticed this: > I have attempted bplabeling the tape again, and then assigning it with > vmquery -assignbyid. The media is assigned because it was done with "vmquery -assignbyid". This does not add an entry in mediaDB, which is why bpmedialist does not list this tape. This was my offline response to Robert: There are 2 media database files in NetBackup: 1st one is volDB under Media Manager (volmgr/database) that tracks hardware. That is what you see when you run vmquery. 2nd one is mediaDB under NetBackup (netbackup/db/media). Each media server has one. Only when backups are written to a tape does it get added to the mediaDB of the Media Server writing to it. The mediaDB contains information all the info listed in bpmedialist.

The people that have been granted this privilege have earned this level of trust. As I said though, if you have access to NetBackup commands - like backup and restore - the system is yours, no matter what anybody else does. You have "the total power over the system". Nothing stops you from restoring a passwd file or a new sudoers file. Sure, it's harder, but the system is yours nevertheless. Similarly, we have physical access to all of the servers that we manage anyway so those systems are "ours" too, even though we're not the admins. All of our NetBackup admins previously admin'ed other production- critical systems, and some (including me) still do. I have primary administration responsbilities for a VMS cluster and a bunch of Linux systems, plus the company's DNS (both internal and external) and DHCP infrastructure.

RE: [Veritas-bu] login as unix user
Sudo is a great idea for using utilities but any Unix Admin worth his/her salt isn't going to give you a root shell via sudo - it defeats the whole point of not giving out the root account in the first place. The audit objections to having root is not the specific account but the total power over the system it confers and giving you a root shell via sudo would allow that same power. Sudo should be used only to give you access to specific commands. If auditors at your company missed this then you lucked out but should probably suggest to your management that they hire a new auditing company next time because only God knows what else they missed.

There are times that I have to get them to do something for me (like change roots crontab). The biggest headache is that some output files get written to /tmp and I don't have permission to look at them. We have been on this security set up for 1 month now and can live with it.

All Help needed. We have a remote admin server which administers all our European master servers. They are all 5.1 MP3 or MP4 When I connect to one of them it says its only a client. All server entries are good and connection is successful I do get this error in bpcd log "bpcd setup_sockopts: setsockopt 1 failed: h_errno 10022" Any ideas.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Request for feedback on NetBackup 6.0 MP1
We have just upgraded from 5.1MP3 to 6.0MP1 Issues we are getting: Vault service not starting (likely due to the fact we do not have a licence for vault) EMM database intermittently stops responding. Takes a reboot of the server to get it working again. We are also using NOM. Master/media server shows as offline almost constantly After upgrading to MP1 we do not get media lists in NOM any more. Jobs with errors are not being reported in NOM This is the continuation of a long string of problems we have been having with netbackup. We are running the master and media services on one server. Would this have an impact on the errors I have been seeing?

RE: [Veritas-bu] login as unix user
Thanks Dwayne, Now i got another problem. Causing by installing Master server is not at dedicated server, and there is another aplication so i can't got a root password. So when i need start /Stop Netbackup or running script from veritas like print available media i must wait the my manager come. Is there a way to upgrade my user authority to running netbackup utility like root can do ?? Thanks in advance Yoseph "Brzozowski, Dwayne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: You're welcome! Glad I could help. Also, if you have a netbackup client, and a logon to tha! t client, fix up the auth.conf the same way and you can pull the jnbSA from there as well. If you're running ssh, that does take some configuration, but it does work. -djb From: Yoseph Leleputra [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 12:35 AMTo: Brzozowski, Dwayne; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.eduSubject: RE: [Veritas-bu] login as unix userI got it, Thanks for all suppot, now i can get ad! min console with my login id .

Re: [Veritas-bu] Can we use NDMP storage unit to backup regular windows clients?
Version 6 can share drives between NDMP and non-NDMP, but you say the drives are 'directly connected' to the NetApp. If they are SAN-attached and using the NetApp HBA for tape, then you can also zone an HBA on e.g. the Master server to the same drives...according to the theory. That could then back up the windows clients. If the SL500 is SCSI-attached to the NetApp then I don't think you can do it.

We have a master server that connects to a SL500 robot. The drives in the SL500 library are all directly conencted to a Netapp. We have been using this to backup the netapp over NDMP. So far so good. Can this setup be extended to backup widows clients? We are running version 6 of NBU. We want to avoid buying an additional LTO-2 drive.
