If the client has an (back end) interface on the same subnet as the
media server, since backups are not session based, the client should, by
default, without any additional intervention, use that interface to talk
to the media server, even if the request goes to the front end of the
client.

If the back-end interface isn't on the same subnet as the media server,
a static route should take care of it.

Restores would require the media server talking to the backend interface
of the client in order to use that interface, however.

Yuck.  We use DNS exclusively.  We register two names for the hosts -
one on the front-side network and one for the backup network.  For those
cases where the server doesn't have backup network interface but is
expected to have one soon, we'll add a CNAME entry for the backup
network DNS entry to point to the front side, but in general we don't
like doing that.  DNS and the appropriately configured routing tables
are all we need.

This works like a charm and the right thing happens.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Nemanja-Backup network problem


We do it like this..

All DNS points to the front net Ips (172.17.x.x in your case) and we put
local host files including the backup server (master,media) and clients
Ips on the Back End (192.168.8.x) on each machine.  That forces those
machines to use the back end nic for backups.

Using DNS is tricky, because you want DNS to point to yoru front end for
normal applications.  If you don't need DNS for your front end, then
that is certainly a first for me.

Master Server Config
FE
IP: 172.17.x.x
Subnet: 255.255.0.0
GW: 172.17.x.x
DNS: 172.17.x.x, 172.17.x.x

BE
IP: 192.168.8.x
Mask: 255.255.255.0
HOSTS FILE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS
INCLUDE
BACKENDIP   MASTER SERVER NAME
BACKENDIP   Media Server
BCKENDIPCLIENT1
BACKENDIP   CLIENT2

Hopefully that helps you out, as that's the general format we're using
here.  You can implement DNS on the back end too but its much more
tricky.  I'd start with this and see where you go.

Finally, NO if you ping any of the Netbackup Server or Clients from one
another you should get their BACK END Ips, not their front end.

Hi thanks for quick reply
We have 2 clients and one server

Clients normal network (172.17.x.x, subnetmask and df gtw), backup
network (192.168.8.x, with subnet mask, with dns without df gtw )


Server has the same network configuration. All dns entry are ok,
nslookup works fine. But when I connect to  client from netbackup admin
console, the ip address of the client is 172.17.x.x not 192.168.8.x is
this normal, because the server properties shows the address 192.168.8.x
not 172.17.x.x 

Thanks in advance

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Nemanja-Backup network problem


Windows is probably confusing the routing of the front and back end NICs
and this performance issue is probably not limited to Netbackup but
probably other networked applications as well.

We found that Windows 2003 is much more picky about network routing than
2000.  For example we use a 10.10.1.0 network for the routable front end
and 10.10.2.0 for our backend (non-routable.)  Even if the system is
correctly setup to find the host its trying to backup on the back-end
(correct IP / Host lookup) if your default gateway is on the front end,
its going to route that traffic through the front end, even though it is
trying to talk to a system on the back end.  With multiple default
gateways both assigned the metric 1 its basically a toss up which
interface it will use (which really complicates the matter!)

1 - make sure you only have 1 default gateway setup on the front end!!
(I'm assuming your backend isn't routed.)

2 - Make sure your systems all resolve correctly, either by using "sudo"
DNS (aka Server1 and Server1-be DNS Entries) or by using hosts files to
ENSURE the systems are talking on the backend.

3 - run a "route add" command on your multi-homed servers and force them
to route traffic from the backend to the backend.

Usually steps 1 and 2 work, and I've only had to add route statements
for DMZ servers with firewall issues and special routing involved to
complicate the matter.

Good luck!

Hi to all,
I have I big problem, we have I backup network, the platform is win2003
server and Netbackup ver 6. All computers are in AD, and have extra
nic's, for backup network. We did it all like Veritas suggested for
backup network to work, like the right DNS entry, every client is
configured to use prefered network device, but the backup up is realy
slow, it takes for 5 min just to access the client from Netbackup admin
console. Any ideas what can be wrong or something like that

[Veritas-bu] NBU Port Issues

Any ideas would be appreciated.  I'm kind of in over my head on this one
(n terms of NBU Knowledge.)

Master Server - Windows 2000 NBU 5.1 MP4
Client - Windows 2000 NBU 5.1 MP4

When I try to run jobs (backups, restores) from either the client or
server I seems to make the original connection (for example, client
requested backups que in the activity monitor) but nothing more happens.
I can't check client properties from the Master Server. Also, I can
telnet into the NBU Client Service port (13782) but not into the NBU
Request Service Port (13720) on the client.

Connecting To pbutil1...Could not open connection to the host, on port
13720: Connect failed

We have EMC Celerra with Stk L700.  We set up NDMP OK.   The two EMC 
documents (one general NDMP, one specific for NBU)  seem to have all that 
was needed.

I take it the Celerra sees the tape drives?

Does set_ndmp_attr -verify successfully login to the Celerra?

If the quorum is still ok, and currently belongs to the "active node",
you should be able to just do a regular restore of C:\, D:\, etc, and
System_State, and reboot the box...should come back up and join the
cluster.

Most, if not all of what I posted below is only relevant if you've lost

RE: [Veritas-bu] Cleaning issues: LTO-3/ADIC i2k and NBU 5.1 MP3

In the 18 months since my two L700's have been in production, for the
first 6 months, one library was doing nightly backups and daily
vaulting, then both libraries in use with Inline tape copy for the last
12 months, I've used 1 tape in the first library (25 cleanings) and
maybe a dozen cleans in the second library.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Restoring Microsoft cluster Node


Dave
I do not have the document to hand, but its possible that you MAY have to
take the live node OFFLINE during the restore. However, you can certainly
TRY it!

I think Paul provided a snapshot of what was in the book :-)

Thanks Simon

A little bit confused due to lack of Knowledge on the windows cluster
environment

Both nodes are running win2k by the way.

You mentioned that the live node would need to be taken off line, surely
this defeats the point of a cluster. Please excuse my ignorence if I am

RE: [Veritas-bu] Cleaning issues: LTO-3/ADIC i2k and NBU 5.1 MP3

Ahhh, I misread your message.  So you were essentially doing frequency
based cleaning.  Yes, that's my other option.  Fortunately, the lights
on our drives only come on about after 800 hours of use, approximately.

I still have a ticket open with Veritas.  We're trying to see if the
cleaning count decrements at all on the tapes since tpconfig's report
isn't telling me if the drive gets cleaned when it looks like from time
to time it does, so I'm looking at that report every day too.

So what libraries are you using?

   Brian

Hi Brian
No, I never waited for the lights, because as mentioned, the lights seem
to
come on almost after EVERY backup.

What I done, was within 3.4, checked how many times the drive was used
and
approx once per month used TPClean.

ADIC support was totally useless, blaming the Netbackup Software But
how
could it be the software if the drive is telling me it needs cleaning??

I had a schedule to run TPCLEAN every month Brian - when I say "manual",
what I meant was "not controlled by Netbackup".

Most of my Netbackup implementation is all automated - I only ever look
at
the product or drives if I get an alert.

Thankfully, I no longer use ADIC :-)

So your cleaning process is completely manual?  You waited to see
cleaning
lights on the drives and then cleaned them?

That's what I've been doing, but for us, that's only a temporary fix. My
motto, automate everything and then put the checks in place to make sure
it's running properly.

My ADIC would not communicate with Netbackup - manual intervention was
the

Fair guess but no.  Actually, ADIC has nothing to do with it.  It's the
tape
alert that comes from the drive itself.  I have hardware/library
frequency
based cleaning off so that NBU can clean when it gets the request from
the
drive.  Barcode rules also wouldn't have anything to do with it either
because they are only for importing media/inventorying media in the

Hi Brian
I had an LTO1 ADIC, and to be very truthful, I ended up doing it
manually,
because the tape request simply did not interact with Netbackup 3.4

Not only that, the ADIC constantly wanted the drive to be cleaned almost
every other day. And I found this hard to believe, because if you do too
many cleans you would end up damaging the drive heads I guess!

The things to check would be the Barcode Rules, that its identified as a
cleaning tape, but as I said I never got it to automatically work. I
checked
the amount of times the drives had been used and where required cleaned
them!

I have a ADIC i2k with LTO-3 (IBM) drives in it and NBU 5.1 MP3 running
on
RH Linux AS3 but I seem to be having some issues with drive cleaning.


Some of the drives have the red 'C' indicator on the front of the drive
with
the amber light flashing signaling that the drive needs to be cleaned.
However, the tapealert notification doesn't seem to be getting to NBU to
do
the clean on the drive.  

Yes, there are cleaning tapes in the library, in the correct partition
and
are labeled properly.

Ahhh, I misread your message.  So you were essentially doing frequency based
cleaning.  Yes, that's my other option.  Fortunately, the lights on our
drives only come on about after 800 hours of use, approximately.

I still have a ticket open with Veritas.  We're trying to see if the
cleaning count decrements at all on the tapes since tpconfig's report isn't
telling me if the drive gets cleaned when it looks like from time to time it
does, so I'm looking at that report every day too.

So what libraries are you using?

Hi Brian
No, I never waited for the lights, because as mentioned, the lights seem to
come on almost after EVERY backup.

What I done, was within 3.4, checked how many times the drive was used and
approx once per month used TPClean.

ADIC support was totally useless, blaming the Netbackup Software But how
could it be the software if the drive is telling me it needs cleaning??

I had a schedule to run TPCLEAN every month Brian - when I say "manual",
what I meant was "not controlled by Netbackup".

Most of my Netbackup implementation is all automated - I only ever look at
the product or drives if I get an alert.

Thankfully, I no longer use ADIC :-)

RE: [Veritas-bu] Tape calculator









I’m working on this very problem.  But
remember, you need to also take into account the retention policy for each
piece of media you send off site.  If you send 5 tapes off site with a
retention policy of two weeks and 5 tapes with a retention policy of 2 months,
in two weeks you’ll get 5 tapes back but in two months you’ll get
10 tapes back.  It’s really tricky to model.  I’ve been working on
a tool to help figure this out but haven’t had time to complete it yet. 
Anyone out there have this kind of tool?

Assuming the amount of data to be backed
up isn't going to increase you can always "guess" by using your
offsite logs.

 

ie.  If you send 10 tapes offsite per
week and an additional 20 tapes at end of month

 

10 (tapes per year) x 52 (weeks in a year)
= 520 tapes

20 (tapes monthlies) x 12 (months /yr) =
240 tapes

 

etc... I have to keep a record of all
tapes sent offsite so it was fairly easy for me to do something similar to this
using logged information from months prior.  If you don't have this kind
of information available, then you are basically on the mission outlined

Deiter, 

You
need to have: 

How
much data per client 
What
is your retention policy, 
What
schedules - cum-incremental/ incremental (% of total data changed = I used 20%
as a rule of thumb) and  full 
Frequency
of each schedule... 
Number
of copies for each backup. 

I
treated each client as individual - so each client was allocated media  according
to it's size - I used to allocate min 1 tape per day per client if they wanted
off-site too. You could become too technical and "group" all the
incrementals together onto 1 tape, but then you do get broken media...and if u
allocate exactly you won;t have any spares. 

Also
- at around $50 per tape - not too expensiveconsidering the risk of no
recovery at all... 

I
used to have this in a Excel spreadsheet. 


Good
luck,

Performing Backups and Restores in a MSCS Cluster
The process of configuring and performing backups and performing restores in
a cluster

is similar no matter which clustering solution you are using. Guidelines and
instructions

for backups and restores are covered in the chapter "Using NetBackup to
Perform

Backups and Restores in a Cluster" on page 83.

This following section covers information on restoring the cluster quorum,
which is

specific to a MSCS environment.

Restoring the Cluster Quorum for Windows 2000 Systems

The cluster quorum is backed up as part of System State for each node. To
restore the

cluster quorum, other nodes in the cluster must be offline. If you cannot
take the other

nodes in the cluster offline before restoring the cluster quorum, you can
create the

following registry entry to force the restore of the cluster quorum:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\VERITAS\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Config\

Cluster_Database_Force_Restore

Note The actual registry entry above must be on a single line.

If required, create this registry value as data type REG_SZ with a value of
YES. When this

value is set, the cluster service is stopped for any nodes that are online.

Restoring the quorum to a node that is running Active Directory or to a node
that is

currently a domain controller, requires additional steps not listed here. If
Active Directory

is running on the target server or the target server is currently a domain
controller, see

"Restoring Cluster Quorum to Windows 2000 Node With Directory Services" on
page 12.

 To restore the cluster quorum

1. From the NetBackup Backup, Archive, and Restore interface, select the
backup image

(or range of images) that contains the backup of the System State for this
node of the

cluster. Then, select the node of the tree labeled System_State as the
directory to be

restored. For details, see the section on performing restores in the
NetBackup User's

Guide for Windows.

2. If the disk where cluster quorum previously resided has been changed (The
disk

could have been replaced with a new one, or the disk configuration could
have been

changed so that the cluster quorum now resides on a different disk.), you
may have to

set the registry entry described above to force the restore to continue.
This allows the

drive letter of the disk that the cluster quorum was on to remain the same,
even if the

configuration has changed and the disk signatures contained in the restore
media do

not match the disk signatures contained in the cluster quorum.

3. Continue the restore operation as explained in the section on performing
restores in

the NetBackup User's Guide for Windows.

4. When the restore operation is complete, either reboot the cluster node or
use the

Microsoft Cluster Administrator to restart the cluster service on any nodes
where it

was stopped, whichever is appropriate.

Restoring Cluster Quorum to Windows 2000 Node With

Directory Services

To restore the quorum to a node that is running Active Directory or to a
node that is

currently a domain controller, the node must be in Directory Services
Restore Mode. The

cluster services cannot run in this mode, so the cluster quorum must be
restored

separately, after System State is restored and the node has been rebooted.

To restore the cluster quorum to a node running Active Directory or that is
currently

a domain controller

1. From the NetBackup Backup, Archive, and Restore interface, select the
backup image

(or range of images) that contains the backup of the System State for this
node of the

cluster. Then, select the node of the tree labeled System_State as the
directory to be

restored. For details, see the section on performing restores in the
NetBackup User's

Guide for Windows.

2. Exclude the cluster quorum from being restored with System State at this
time by

expanding the System_State node and deselecting the Cluster_Database node of
the

tree.

3. Continue the restore operation by following the steps on performing
restores in the

NetBackup User's Guide for Windows.

4. When the restore operation is complete, reboot the cluster node in safe
(repair) mode

(restart the computer and press F8 when prompted to select an operating
system) and

then select Directory Services Restore Mode.

5. Start the NetBackup service(s).

6. In the NetBackup Backup, Archive, and Restore interface, expand the
System_State

node and select only the Clus

RE: [Veritas-bu] Restoring Microsoft cluster Node


Hi Dave
Well, if the other node is holding the resources, then it should be a case
of booting the box to an F8 prompt and choose directory service restore mode
and logon to Windows.

Launch Netbackup Backup, Archive and Restore tool , or from the Master, do a
restore to this client machine.

Select system state or shadow copy components (you did not mention what
version of windows you have).

Restore (I think) the system, but I am 90% sure the other node needs to be
taken down (or offline!!) so you may need downtime for this.

My guess is the quorom is shared?? I would think this is all ok then.

Reboot and it should come back to life!

Would have thought this would be in the SysAdmin book, but I don't have one
to hand!

I hope this is of some help - I may have overlooked something. !!

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Cleaning issues: LTO-3/ADIC i2k and NBU 5.1 MP3


I have a ADIC i2k with LTO-3 (IBM) drives in it and NBU 5.1 MP3 running
on
RH Linux AS3 but I seem to be having some issues with drive cleaning.


Some of the drives have the red 'C' indicator on the front of the drive
with
the amber light flashing signaling that the drive needs to be cleaned.
However, the tapealert notification doesn't seem to be getting to NBU to
do
the clean on the drive.  

Yes, there are cleaning tapes in the library, in the correct partition
and
are labeled properly.  When I issue a tpclean command or do it from the
GUI
it works fine.  The problem is I have to do all that manually.  

The tape alert doesn't seem to be getting to NBU.  I checked the
messages
file but that doesn't seem to be giving me enough info.

Anyone have a suggestion for me on where to look next?

RE: [Veritas-bu] Cleaning issues: LTO-3/ADIC i2k and NBU 5.1 MP3


Hi Brian
No, I never waited for the lights, because as mentioned, the lights seem to
come on almost after EVERY backup.

What I done, was within 3.4, checked how many times the drive was used and
approx once per month used TPClean.

ADIC support was totally useless, blaming the Netbackup Software But how
could it be the software if the drive is telling me it needs cleaning??

I had a schedule to run TPCLEAN every month Brian - when I say "manual",
what I meant was "not controlled by Netbackup".

Most of my Netbackup implementation is all automated - I only ever look at
the product or drives if I get an alert.

Thankfully, I no longer use ADIC :-)

So your cleaning process is completely manual?  You waited to see cleaning
lights on the drives and then cleaned them?

That's what I've been doing, but for us, that's only a temporary fix. My
motto, automate everything and then put the checks in place to make sure
it's running properly.

My ADIC would not communicate with Netbackup - manual intervention was the

Fair guess but no.  Actually, ADIC has nothing to do with it.  It's the tape
alert that comes from the drive itself.  I have hardware/library frequency
based cleaning off so that NBU can clean when it gets the request from the
drive.  Barcode rules also wouldn't have anything to do with it either
because they are only for importing media/inventorying media in the library.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Cleaning issues: LTO-3/ADIC i2k and NBU 5.1 MP3









Ok, just checked.  Looks like the ADIC
Scalar i2k doesn’t manage the cleaning of drives at all.  It relies on
either manual cleaning or the backup application to either respond to tape
alerts or do frequency based cleanings.

All

  Yes, with 6.0 you can share NDMP drives.
IF the NAS server supports it! 

 

  What we found is that the EMC NS servers
will support it. I’m not sure about the older Celerra’s. The
current NetApp’s will not. A future version of OnTap will, but the

I'm guesing you're "sharing"

NDMP drive sharing is not possible, so 1
or more drives must be dedicated to the Celerra.





 





Have you zoned at least one tape drive
to be seen by the Celerra and ONLY the Celerra (Not visable to the master/media
servers?)





(is your ADIC library native FC or is it
SCSI with an FC bridge?)





 





have you installed the NDMP

(including the appropriate license key.)





 





Have you started the NDMP daemon on the

Have you created STUs via the master?

I’ll check that but usually it’s
one or the other.  Either the library will handle the cleaning or NBU will but
not both.  I prefer NBU doing it that way I can monitor how many cleans the
cleaning tapes have left and my scripts will alert me when I need new cleaning

2006-03-02 Thread manuel . j . desousa


Deiter,

You need to have:

How much data per client
What is your retention policy, 
What schedules - cum-incremental/ incremental (% of total data changed = I used 20% as a rule of thumb) and  full 
Frequency of each schedule...
Number of copies for each backup.

I treated each client as individual - so each client was allocated media  according to it's size - I used to allocate min 1 tape per day per client if they wanted off-site too. You could become too technical and "group" all the incrementals together onto 1 tape, but then you do get broken media...and if u allocate exactly you won;t have any spares.

Also - at around $50 per tape - not too expensiveconsidering the risk of no recovery at all...

I used to have this in a Excel spreadsheet.


Good luck,

\_JdS_/

RE: [Veritas-bu] Nemanja-Backup network problem


Windows is probably confusing the routing of the front and back end NICs
and this performance issue is probably not limited to Netbackup but
probably other networked applications as well.

We found that Windows 2003 is much more picky about network routing than
2000.  For example we use a 10.10.1.0 network for the routable front end
and 10.10.2.0 for our backend (non-routable.)  Even if the system is
correctly setup to find the host its trying to backup on the back-end
(correct IP / Host lookup) if your default gateway is on the front end,
its going to route that traffic through the front end, even though it is
trying to talk to a system on the back end.  With multiple default
gateways both assigned the metric 1 its basically a toss up which
interface it will use (which really complicates the matter!)

1 - make sure you only have 1 default gateway setup on the front end!!
(I'm assuming your backend isn't routed.)

2 - Make sure your systems all resolve correctly, either by using "sudo"
DNS (aka Server1 and Server1-be DNS Entries) or by using hosts files to
ENSURE the systems are talking on the backend.

3 - run a "route add" command on your multi-homed servers and force them
to route traffic from the backend to the backend.

Usually steps 1 and 2 work, and I've only had to add route statements
for DMZ servers with firewall issues and special routing involved to
complicate the matter.

Good luck!

2006-03-02 Thread Brooks, Jason

Thanks for the offlist notes.  I've also posted the query to a
MS-Exchange newsgroup.  Tried a config that MS reports to make this work
(same as context of ExMerge in terms of permissions), available here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823143/en-us

Permissions changed.  Backup tried.  Still getting a 71 error.  And I
haven't located anything anywhere that indicates why the error occurred.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.0MP1, Exchange 2K3 on Win2K3

All,
We are testing Exchange Backups for NBU 6 today.  I was able to
successfully backup the information store, but I can't get the Mailboxes
or Public Folders to backup.

Config Information:

Policy:
Type - MS-Exchange-Server
Storage Unit - tape unit
Volume Pool - Exchange
Schedule - two defined
Full
Incremental
Clients - Exchange Server
Backup Selections - 
NEW_STREAM
Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes:\
NEW_STREAM
Microsoft Exchange Public Folders:\

With this default, the backup returned a 71 - none of the files in the
file list exist(71)

So, to try and hone down the problem, I played a bit.

First, tried specifying a particular Public Folder.  Gave up.

Went to Mailboxes.  Tried Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes:\[b]*.  Tried
Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes:\[broo]*.  Both of these returned a 69 -
invalid filelist specification(69).

Anyone have any suggestions?  The setup of this followed the NetBackup
for Microsoft Exchange Server System Administrator's Guide.  The only
place I can think there may be a resolution is here (Admin Guide, pages
20 & 21):

3.  Right-click on the virtual server name and select
Properties.
4.  Click on the Security tab.
5.  Select the NetBackup Client service account under the Name
pane. 
6.  Under Permissions, select Receive As and Send As.

When we set the Receive As and Send As permissions for the NBU Client
service account, the Deny rule was also in place as an inheritance.  I
have yet to figure from where it was inherited or how to deactivate it.

Is this a likely source of the issue?  Suggestions?

Thanks,
Jason

RE: [Veritas-bu] What exactly does suspended media mean?

Title: Message

Sorry,
I completely mis-read the question below and Dean is
right
If a
volume is SUSPENDED the system will not write to it until all the backup images
on that volume have expired. (either automatically or if manual expiry is done
using BPEXPDATE)
If a volume is frozen the system will not write
to it even after all the backup images on that volume have
expired. This
means there could well be a problem with the Media. When expired the report will
say Frozen Expired.

This Helps!

Re: [Veritas-bu] Unable to cancel queued job

2006-03-02 Thread Dean

I see these all the time at a few busy shops I work at. I always thought it was something to do with an incomplete entry in the jobs "database". They don't seem to cause any problem, other than annoyance, and disappear after a few days. 
I haven't bothered to work out if there's any pattern, but I don't think it's worth going to the effort of bouncing NetBackup to make them go away (which doesn't always work anyhow, as far as I can tell).

No. But, I just found out that another admin was not patient with a netbackup stop and so used kill -9 on the bpsched processes.The processes were then like a zombie and would not respond to any attempts to suspend/cancel/slap in the face.
Think maybe I could just go into a directory and wack some files next time I see this?Or should I wack the other admin :-) jk>>> "WEAVER, Simon" <

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6.0 vs. RMAN

2006-03-02 Thread Massimo Baccanelli





netbackup and oracle product is installed on the same machine (Sun
Solaris 8 & Oracle 9.2.6).
i have updated both with the same version .. .. .. patch included .. ..
..
but .. .. doesn't work !!!

:-(

  just curious -- did you upgrade the oracle agent as well as the client
piece. Unless you're on windows, it's a separate package that needs to
be applied and must be the same version as the version of the client
on the box. (most common cause of problem after upgrading that i've
seen. I haven't done a NBU 6.0 roll yet)
