Also, FWIW, I wouldn't view any of the below products as SRM tools... in the general sense of how I would define SRM. A backup monitoring tool, yes. SRM, no. That said, I second Ed's sentiment on Aptare Storage Console. It's a great product. It's as *real time* as you're ever going to get (when a backup ends, the info is sent from the master to the Aptare server, not polled like most of the others are) and the support is great. ~Kate -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Wilts Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 9:35 AM To: Martin, Jonathan (Contractor) Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Storage Resource Management On Tue, May 30, 2006 at 08:52:16AM -0400, Martin, Jonathan (Contractor) wrote: After some prodding by Management I've been looking into Storage Resource Management (SRM) tools to assist with monitoring backups, reporting, troubleshooting etc etc...

[Veritas-bu] NBU 5.1 MP4 - Windows clients generating big VSP files
I have been working a few cases with Veritas about this issue... Here is a way to delete the vsp temp files WITHOUT a reboot!! To delete the VSP temp files without a reboot. 2. This is the tool to manually remove the tmp files left over. http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml Process Explorer Usage to remove the cache file: 1) Expand System Idle Process 2) Select and highlight System , you will notice in the bottom half of the screen will populate with a list of all the processes that are running under the System account. 3) Sort the Name Field by name and scroll down till you see the entries that start with \Device\VSPSnapshot0\_vxfiVspCacheFile_1.tmp (depending on the number of drives, you may find more then one mapping in the list that use the same naming convention) 4) Highlight the first \Device\VSPSnapshot0\_vxfiVspCacheFile_1.tmp, right click and select Close Handle 5) Next, highlight the associated system handle that physically shows the drive letter association. Please note, in step 3 we chose \Device\VSPSnapshot0, normally this should map to the first volume in your backup selection C:\_vxfiVspCacheFile_1.tmp ** Note: You may find that once the Handle has been closed the system may become unresponsive for a short time, this most likely is due to the temp cache being released back to system. 6) Once you've selected the Close Handle option from the drop down menu, you may then delete the associated TMP file which exist will exist on the root of the drive in question Thanks, Garrett Covington The TriZetto Group, Inc.

That is correct, you do have to upgrade your 3.4.1 Servers to NBU 4.5 before going to 5.X and the 6.0. Clients of course can go straight to 6.0, as long as the OS version is still supported.

Re: [Veritas-bu] SSO question
Title: Message Paul, we do use SSO, with one master and one media server, but we also throw ndmp in the mix. We do indeed limit the total count of our master and media servers to the drives actually available, 4 drives on the master and 6 on the media server. However, since the two servers can see all 10 drives they just choose whichever drive is available. As long as the policies are set to use "any available server" then the jobs will go to whichever one can grab a drive. If all the drives are busy the jobsgo into the queue. Our point to doing it this way was to split the load over two separate gig-e pipes to the fiber where the the drives live in such a way that NBU took care of the details of how the data gets there. With NDMP we have it set to use paths available only on the master server, that's just to keep it from confusing the hell out of me. (Since we use 6mp2 ndmp allows us to use SSO) David Spearman County of Henrico,Va. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul KeatingSent: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 3:03 PMTo: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.eduSubject: [Veritas-bu] SSO question Assuming you have several tapes drives share among several media servers. ie, 10 drives and 3 servers. if you configure each server to see all 10 drives and then configure a STU on each server to use a max of 4 drives, you will encounter situations where there is demand for as many as 12 drives..In the instance where 2 of the media servers eachreserve 4 drives and the third server has only 2 drives available to it, does this cause all the jobsqueuedon this third server to fail with status 134???

Veritas made a change in the consistency check - I think at 5.1 MP4 where it will actually move the image to a temporary holding place if it thinks it is bad. Incidentally if you have any jobs running it will also kill the jobs because it thinks the image is bad. I am wondering if it tried to do anything with the images for the disk backups?

I've come across some strange issues with authentication on the remote clients. In my test environment, I've got a Windows 2003 box and a Windows 2000 box. Both have exactly the same local admin password and both have the exact same domain accounts as local admins. However, when I go through the remote deployment and am prompted for the account to use to install on the remote system, I'm told that I'm connected with an account other than the one I use, despite having just rebooted both servers and not having connected to either of them. Sometimes the account I want to use works and sometimes it doesn't and although it may not be random, it seems to be quite random at times. Ideally I'd like to do it this way, because it's obviously alot more convenient to roll-out more than one client at a time; has anyone had a play with this and what's been the general conclusion?

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 5.1 Windows master at 32 bit and NetBackup 5.1 media servers at 64 bit

I am upgrading the media servers hardware only and would like to use 64 bit. Does anyone know if this is supported or know of problems? I see from the release notes 64 bit is supported on Windows but I don't know if a media server can be at higher OS level than the master server. This is not supported. 64-bit is only supported for clients on 5.1, not media servers. To have 64-bit media servers, you'll need to upgrade to 6.0. This is what we're doing for the same reason... .../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
