Re: [Veritas-bu] Virtual Tape Library

Actually, in 5.x, VTL licensing for specific vendors was also based on
TB, migrating away from legacy per drive methodology.


>>> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 3/23/2006 7:43 am >>>
NetBackup 5.n was licenced by tape drives.  NetBackup 6.n is licenced
by 
TB in the VTL.  I don't know the detail, e.g. is that raw TB etc.  I
also 
don't know if they changed the licencing for 5.n, or if it is still 
needing drive licences.

Hi, 

We are currently looking at purchasing a virtual tape library ( HP

), and i am finding conflicting information on how the virtual library
is
licensed, some documentation says per TB, some say per virtual drive.
Has
anyone any experience with Netbackup and a vtl and what is the actual
situation regarding licensing.

[Veritas-bu] Q re media server how-to

2006-03-27 Thread Jeffrey Dykzeul
I am looking for suggestions about setting up a media server. My experience
with NBU is limited to a single master/media server with multiple clients,
all attached to a public IP network, but my new NBU environment is somewhat
different:

- Solaris master/media server, attached to public network and a SAN
- 2 Solaris media servers, attached to public network and a SAN
- Numerous UNIX & Windows clients, all on public network
- Tape library with LTO3 drives attached to the SAN

There is one SAN. The media servers have storage on the SAN dedicated to
them and they function as file servers for clients which need disk space.

I have already set up the master/media server (NBU 6.0) and successfully
tested backups/restores of itself and a public network client using the
SAN-attached tape drives in the library. My next step is to set up a media
server so that it can backup itself and its SAN-attached storage to the
SAN-attached tape drives resident in the tape library. I have installed NBU
6.0 and the SAN media server license on the first media server.

It's not obvious to me how to move forward at this point. I need to make
the tape drives visible to the media server and configure a policy for
running backups on the media server. I am assuming that this policy will
exist on the master server. I also have the SSO option so it is my
understanding that the media server should be able to use any of the tape
drives rather than a dedicated subset. Is there a particular manual which
describes how to do all this? Any suggestions are welcome.

RE: [Veritas-bu] 6.0 MP2 has been released

2006-03-27 Thread Brooks, Jason
Thanks for the post.  I was reading through the tome they call a readme
(62 pages here) and ran across this:

Installation steps:

1) Close all NetBackup Windows.
  Make sure the NetBackup system has no active backups, restores,
  duplications, etc., running. If there are NetBackup activities in
process,
  the Maintenance Pack will require a reboot if the file to update is
busy.

  If a database client is being used, such as Oracle, ensure that the
  database services are stopped.  Database services can be stopped using
the
  ControlPanel -> Services tool.  Repeat this until all databases have
been
  stopped. These services must be restarted once the patch is
successfully
  installed.

Does this apply to remote DBs?  I can see locals, but remotes?

Thanks,
Jason

As long as you are dealing with only a single stream for your backup,
you should be fine with the notify scripts.  The only drawback will be
that a resource (tape) will be defined when the job starts, so if your
notify script takes 3 hours to complete, the drive will be tied up for
that three hours while it waits for the script to stop.

HiIs this correct ? My understanding is when 
LTO-2 tapes are put into a LTO3 tape drive the tape drive takes on all the 
attributes of an LTO2 tape drive hence transfer rates, density, etc are 
identical to an LTO2 tape drive.  Hence in a library you can have mixed 
LTO-3 & LTO2 tape drives and if all the media is LTO2 media then you will 
see no difference.   Only when you start using LTO3 media then things will 
get better for both backup and recovery.  Apparently LTO-3 tapes 
have a smart-card type of chip in them. Regards Jim

Thanks to several helpful

bpdbjobs -report | grep

bpdbjobs -cancel

A follow-up question
however: Since the NetBackup server is setup to make one automagic retry whenever
a job fails, will there be any retry when cancelling using bpdbjobs –cancel?

Hi Jonas,

  yes absolutely, use the notify scripts on the client to do any pre or post operations you need. You can therefore schedule backups from the server and use incremental backups etc etc

Title: Message



Yes, 
Jim, that has been my experience.
 
We put 
our new LTO3 drives in the same robot as our existing LTO3 drives, and all media 
is LTO2, all drives and media are configured as "HCART2"
 
If 
they are not configured the same, (ie, you configure HCART2=LTO2 and 
HCART3=LTO3) NBU will not put an LTO2 tape in an LTO3 drive.
 
the 
idea is to maintina backward compatibilitythe LTO3 drive writes to the 
LTO2 tape as if it were an LTO2 drive, so that if the tape is later 
inserted into an LTO2 drive it will continue to be able to be read from and 
written to.
 
once 
you add LTO3 tapes, you then need to change the config of the LTO3 drives to 
type "HCART3" and make sure all LTO3 tapes inserted into the library are 
configured the same, otherwise you will end up with all sorts of problems when 
NBU puts a LTO3 tape in an LTO2 drive.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup doubt

2006-03-27 Thread Johnny Oestergaard








Not that I know that much about Solaris,
but for an installation of that size I would just make a combined master/media
server on a Solaris box.

Since it is “just” test and
dev I would try to keep it simple, not too many storage groups, few volume
pools. And also not too many retention periods.

 

What are your recovery needs?

 

For test and dev I would normally not
implement anything fancy. One backup a day would be my standard in our
installation, and recovery are to the last backup I have most of the time.

If you have the diskspace for it, I would
also implement a DSSU for the daily backups, so that you have a more easy
recovery and don’t have to wait for tapes.

Johny,


it's a dev and test env. 

clients would be approx 15.  all are
solaris 9 clients and the server would also be solaris 9.  Main app would
be oracle.  recovery of oracle as well as certain app like weblogic would
be of importance.

[Veritas-bu] Cancel a backup from the server's command line?

2006-03-27 Thread Jonas Blåberg








Hello!

 

Is it possible to cancel an ongoing file system backup
from the command line of the server? I know it is possible to do it from the administrator
interface, but I have not found any command to do it…

 

The server is using NBU 4.5 FP6 on Solaris.

[Veritas-bu] Scripts to be run on client before backup starts

2006-03-27 Thread Jonas Blåberg








Hello!

 

I need to dump a database to disk on the client before
the server-triggered file system backup is starting to read the client files.

 

Is it possible to use bpstart_notify.cmd on a NetBackup
client or is such a script only to be used on the NetBackup server?

 

Does anyone have another approach on this? I don’t
want to trigger the file system backups from the client since I want to be able
to use incremental backups, which does not seem to be available with the bpbackup
command. And I don’t want to schedule the jobs independently of each
other and hope for the best… That will fail sooner or later.

 

I am using NB 4.5. The server is Solaris and the
client mentioned above is Windows.
