[Veritas-bu] How to make a single tape drive operable
Hi, I am unable to mount tapes in a single tape drive. When trying to assign any request to this drive, it says drive not ready or inoperable. However, i am able to see the drive status as UP through the NB Java console. Any help in this regard is appreciated.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU: small office WAN config - deal? or no deal?
Jim Do you have the option to create a disk staging unit? That is what we use to back up servers on our slower links and works well as the data then takes minutes to copy to tape rather than hours straight to tape from the network. We also use compression for the very very slow links.

[Veritas-bu] NBU: small office WAN config - deal? or no deal?
Hello: Deal or no deal? Or should I say - remote media server or no remote media server? I've got an instance of NBU 5.0 mp3 doing backup chores for a good bevy of Windows and Unix machines pretty much limited to a relatively close WAN all attached to main fiber backbone. One Master /media media server combo attached to a Qualstar AIT4 robotic. However, I've got odd ball machine is multiple router hops away in another state and another part of the country -- on a relatively shared, slow link. Backup times because on the host at this location to the Qualstar are way more than they should be that and causes a tape drive to be tied up. The entire window suffers. Would it make any sense to place a small tape device at the remote site and install a local media server? (DEAL) I'm think, the main NBU instance in my data center would do all the controlling/tracking/scheduling but without the overhead of pulling the data across the wire to the local robotic. I have another remote office with about 4 wintel boxes that could take on the same notional scheme. My other option (NO DEAL) would to put standalone Backup Exec instances at each of the remote sites and have all local tape and scheduling/controlling. The remote offices don't have dedicated IT support staff. I'm hoping I could put everything under one Netbackup umbrella. Let me know your thoughts. Deal or no deal.

However, MP3 is *MUCH* worse than 5.1 for us. I expect we'll be seeing new binaries shortly. There's no doubt in anybody's mind that the scheduler is still defective. Some jobs simply will not get scheduled. If you've already upgraded to 6.0, then very carefully check every mount point of every policy and make sure that all of the jobs really are running. We've found many jobs that simply didn't run with no failures, even with MP3. Some of the jobs that don't get scheduled include DSSUs. We have not yet identified a pattern as to why some jobs get scheduled and others don't. If we can find that, I expect we'll get a fix faster. I've heard rumors that Veritas has a "get well" program for NetBackup 6. Hopefully they can get it out of the ICU quickly. .../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

Re: [Veritas-bu] Inconsistencies with some open file issues?
> I'm finding the open file thing a bit hit and miss to be honest. Demystification summary: VSP is "default: on" only if you install it (why would you install it and want it to default to off?) and the installation of VSP's predecessor included a boot to make it active. You first control VSP by including it (the default) during installation. OTM (4.5 and earlier) was the same way. Haven't installed a Win client in ages, but it is one of those little installation GUI blocks that have a "do not install" option.

[...] > Perhaps the power outage made VSP work? If this were OTM (older NetBackup equivalent of VSP), I'd say it was the reboot. Including OTM in the client installation generated a deferrable reboot after installation so it could load as a device driver. The NetBackup 6.0 Installation Guide says Note You may need to reboot the system for the changes to take effect. Until demonstrated otherwise, I'd expect VSP to behave like OTM WRT needing a boot to set up properly.

There are 2 large players in the encryption appliance market - NetApp (which bought Decru) and NeoScale. These products may be expensive (which is relative to the value of your data) but are essentially transparent - you plug them in and the data goes through them on the way from the media servers to the tape drives. Once you've solved the problem for one client, you've solved it for them all. Our approach will be (as soon as our purchase req is approved) to encrypt everything. That way you'll not have to worry about missing a client and losing a tape with critical data still unencrypted (or discovering the hard way that one of your users moved a file to a different client that wasn't encrypted). .../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

I've found that the BlowFish cipher is a good balance between speed and security. Encrypting your backups is a really good idea if you are sending them offsite. Incidents of stolen backup tapes with sensitive personal information are turning into a more common news event. It's probably more dangerous than having a laptop stolen since a laptop will probably just be resold where the tapes are only stolen for the data on them. Using software compression is not really feasible for me and I don't recommend it. It affects the speed far more than the encryption. It is much better suited for the situation where you have slow pipes and fast CPUs. If your network and your tape drives are fast and modern, You need your data to be available as rapidly as possible and not slowed down by compression.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Multiplexing problem
A couple things to keep in mind that can trip you up w/ multiplexing (and have done so to me in the past): 1) Configuration - The tape drive needs to be set up to multiplex and, if you really want to get the most bang for the buck, the policy should be set to multistream as well. 2) Media retention levels - you cannot multiplex policies with different retention levels to a single tape. f you have 3 policies w/ retention levels 2, 3, and 3, only the latter two will run if the tape in the drive is an RL3 tape. -Shane On 7/6/06, WEAVER, Simon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Make sure jobs are set to max of 99 - ensure storage unit multiplexing per > drive is set to a high value > > In the SCHEDULE of the policy, ensure multiplexing is set to a high value - > not as high as the storage unit if poss ! > > HTH > > Ie: Storage multiplex is 12 - schedule policy set to 6 - so 6 streams sent > to 2 drives - assuming 2 drives are available :-) > > Regards > > Simon Weaver > 3rd Line Technical Support > Windows Domain Administrator > > EADS Astrium Limited, B32AA IM (DCS) > Anchorage Road, Portsmouth, PO3 5PU > > Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > -Original Message- > From: Asiye Yigit [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 06 July 2006 14:18 > To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu > Subject: [Veritas-bu] Multiplexing problem > > > Hi All, > I have a problem.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Multiplexing problem
Make sure jobs are set to max of 99 - ensure storage unit multiplexing per drive is set to a high value In the SCHEDULE of the policy, ensure multiplexing is set to a high value - not as high as the storage unit if poss ! HTH Ie: Storage multiplex is 12 - schedule policy set to 6 - so 6 streams sent to 2 drives - assuming 2 drives are available :-) Regards Simon Weaver 3rd Line Technical Support Windows Domain Administrator EADS Astrium Limited, B32AA IM (DCS) Anchorage Road, Portsmouth, PO3 5PU Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Asiye Yigit [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 July 2006 14:18 To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Multiplexing problem Hi All, I have a problem.

Re: [Veritas-bu] encryption
Data written to tape is not normally encrypted. There is a NetBackup Encryption Option that you can purchase on a per client basis that encrypted the data from the client all the way to the tape. The encryption strength can be set anywhere form 40 or 6 bit DES up to 256 bit AES (assuming you have NBU 5.1 or higher). Bear in mind that encryption will make the data essentially uncompressible so turn on software compression on the client of you want it and use the uncompressed tapes drives. Since encryption (and compression) will take place on the client, it will impact backup speed and varies by how high the encryption is set. The other option is look for hardware compression between the Media server and the tape drives.
