I watch my logs and the "errors" file to promptly see what happened when 
NetBackup "sees" a tape error.   On all errors, if NetBackup didn't 
freeze the tape, I do!  Notes are written to a "blog".   Even if a 
problem appears to be a drive, the tape is set to frozen (if assigned) or 
directly changed to another pool (see below).

Periodically, I look at the "Media Summary" report (verbose).  If there are 
expired, frozen tapes reported, I expire them with bpexpdate and change them to 
a pool for just such tapes (I call it the Baudelaire volume pool).

When my tape drives have time, I do a short erase and then long erase.  
If both go OK, the tape gets put back into service.  With a pattern of 
problems, the tape is returned to our media vendor.

However, we have more trouble with our LTO-I drives than media.

Is this the sort of thing that interests you?

cheers, wayne

Hi
Wondering whether anyone on this forum has seen this behavior.

Environment:  Solaris 8 shop.

Master and Media on the same server running Netbackup Ver 6.0 + MP3.
This is a fresh 6.0 install.

Adic scalar 24 attached to the Master server.

Backups run fine for few days and than the scheduler just stops working.
The scheduler can be made to work only by stopping and starting Netbackup.

Some features seen in the process are.

1. Typically the scheduler stops working when the backup on one of the clients 
has failed with a status code. From the status code one can figure out why the 
client failed. But I cannot find the reason as to why the scheduler just stops 
working when such a incident occurs.

I think in the normal scheme of things if a backup on a client fails than the 
software should just put the Status error code and move on to the other 
scheduled policies and perform the backups for those policies.
But that is not happening. Once the backup of a client has failed no other 
policies scheduled after that runs.

2. Once the above mentioned situation happens. If I try to run 
"/etc/init.d/netbackup" or bp.kill_all to stop Netbackup. It cannot stop the 
Policy Execution Manager, it just hangs while trying to stop that.

I 
would have thought the reports module (Client backup report) can give you a 
clearer picture as to when the backups for a particular client or clients 
started to get backed up.
 
BPPLLIST is a good command tool, that will list all 
policies, and you can extract the clients in the policy and the backup windows 
that start and close. I think the parameter is -allpolicies 

 
Remember, if your resources are busy, the Start times may not be 
applicable, because the job may queue for an hour or so until a device becomes 
free.
 
With this info, plus the reports, you should be able to scramble 
some details for your customer - maybe import it into a spreadsheet or 
graph?

Are the clients in this policy definetely Windows 
2003?
You cannot backup Windows NT 4 / Windows 2000 clients with shadow 
copy as this will of course fail.
 
If they ARE Windows 2003, then ensure the client software is 
correct version running to handle shadow copy backups (including maintenance 
packs).
 
Finally, as a TEST, create a new TEST Policy for the client(s) and 
try again :-)

Re: [Veritas-bu] Scheduler woes with Ver 6.0 + MP3

2006-07-25 Thread Wilkinson, Tim
Ed,

Approximately how many clients do you have in your environment and how
many have scheduling issues? I'm trying to work out ball-park
expectations of how many clients will have scheduling issues (as a rough
%).
We have a few sites and the smaller sites don't have many issues but we
have bigger sites and forewarned is forearmed

Cheers,

Tim

Well, you can you hope that the case that's triggering your errors are
the same as mine in which case you'll eventually get a fix, or you can
log a call and make sure.  Keep your fingers crossed.

If that's what your support rep is telling you, talk to a manager and
have your case re-assigned to somebody with a clue.  There are MAJOR
fixes to the scheduler that are available to some customers who are
experiences problems.  We've put up about a dozen new versions nbpem
*after* MP3 and I'm not the only one.  The scheduler is still broken
today and will not schedule jobs it's supposed to schedule, runs jobs
under a job id of a failed job, and lots of other fun stuff.  Another
customer had major core dumps with the MP3 scheduler (last I heard, they
were fixed).

We still have a dozen or so open cases with Symantec that have been
escalated to Engineering.  NBU 6.0 MP3 is still to be avoided for
customers still running a 5.x release.

Can't you just run the Client Backups report then 
export the results to Excel for manipulation. It can be sorted by Policy, 
Schedule etc. I have even fed it in to MS Project to get a Gantt chart of our

[Veritas-bu] Multiple RMAN Backups

2006-07-25 Thread Martin, Jonathan \(Contractor\)



I'm 
having a strange issue where an RMAN / Oracle backup is configured to run once, 
but it runs 2 or 3 times, even when running a manual backup.  Its causing 
me to exceed my backup windows.  I'm running NBU 5.1 MP4 on Windows 
2003.  The issue occurs whether the backup is scheduled to run during a 
certain open window or if I kick off a manual backup.  I'm working the 
problem from the top down but I'm wondering if anyone else has ever seen 
anything like this?

Had a LOT of problems with nbpem in 6.0 MP2 (hangs, crashes, missing
backups). Lots of them were fixed by MP3.
Still have issues with nbpem with MP3:
- missing backups, nbpem will not start backups for some clients in
policies, no related log entries
- missing backups, "protocol error" generated in netbackup/db/error
directory, no jobs started in activity window.

Don't want to waste my time with Veritas support (takes days!), hope

Title: Installation of NOM fails - jacorb.properties not found



I'm attempting to install NOM on a Netbackup 6.0 (not

did?

The installation freezes there.  The only thing 
not running at this point is VRTSnomd.  If I try to do a

The error repeats itself a few times.  I am 
using plain jane Netbackup 6.0, no MP1 -> MP3.  I'm trying to just get 
NOM installed before I update.  Truth be told, NOM won't update, it fails 
because it can't start all of it's services.
Any ideas, or inklings would be great (except 
RTFM….I've done that). 
This is my first attempt to install and configure 
NOM.  And yes, I have all the required software installed.  I think 
the problem is this jacorb problem, but I don't know how to fix it.
Thanks.

of NOM fails - jacorb.properties not found

All, I'm 
attempting to install NOM on a Solaris / Netbackup 6.0 master server.  
During the installaion, where vxamnom is configured, and the following 
runs:
Starting VERITAS NOM SERVER 
NOM Database Server Running (pid 
26015) Vxamnom is not yet 
configured.  Now Executing the following config: 
    cd /opt/VRTSamnom     
. ./setam_env.sh 
    ./configure_vxam 5431 "DRIVER=Adaptive Server Anywhere 
9.0;ENG=VERITAS_NOM_hostname;DBN=vxam;links=tcpip{host=localhost;port=13729}" 
"-g /opt/VRTSnom/config/vxam.conf"
The installation freezes there.  The only thing 
not running at this point is VRTSnomd.  If I try to do a 
"/etc/init.d/vxnomd start" all processes seem to start, then VRTSnomd dies after 
about a minute.  And in /opt/VRTSnom/logs/VRTSnom.log I see the following 
errors:
[ jacorb.home unset! Will use '.' 
] [ File./jacorb.properties for 
configuration of jacorb not found ] In CSInfoInt ctor Calling register with serviceID = CycloneDomainService 
The error repeats itself a few times.  I am 
using plain jane Netbackup 6.0, no MP1 -> MP3.  I'm trying to just get 
NOM installed before I update.  Truth be told, NOM won't update, it fails 
because it can't start all of it's services.
Any ideas, or inklings would be great (except 
RTFM….I've done that). 
This is my first attempt to install and configure 
NOM.  And yes, I have all the required software installed.  I think 
the problem is this jacorb problem, but I don't know how to fix it.
Thanks.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Scheduler woes with Ver 6.0 + MP3

2006-07-25 Thread Ken Frinzl
Hi,

 We have a fairly similar setup here:  Master and Media on the same server 
running NBU6.0 + MP3.  We have been running MP3 now for 4wks.  The only 
difference is that were on Solaris 9.  I haven't seen any problems like that 
since we upgraded to MP3.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Scheduler woes with Ver 6.0 + MP3

Hi
Wondering whether anyone on this forum has seen this behavior.

Environment:  Solaris 8 shop.

Master and Media on the same server running Netbackup Ver 6.0 + MP3.
This is a fresh 6.0 install.

Adic scalar 24 attached to the Master server.

Backups run fine for few days and than the scheduler just stops working.
The scheduler can be made to work only by stopping and starting Netbackup.

Some features seen in the process are.

1. Typically the scheduler stops working when the backup on one of the clients 
has failed with a status code. From the status code one can figure out why the 
client failed. But I cannot find the reason as to why the scheduler just stops 
working when such a incident occurs.

I think in the normal scheme of things if a backup on a client fails than the 
software should just put the Status error code and move on to the other 
scheduled policies and perform the backups for those policies.
But that is not happening. Once the backup of a client has failed no other 
policies scheduled after that runs.

2. Once the above mentioned situation happens. If I try to run 
"/etc/init.d/netbackup" or bp.kill_all to stop Netbackup. It cannot stop the 
Policy Execution Manager, it just hangs while trying to stop that.

No choice but to CTRL C out and than use kill -9 to kill all nbpem processes. 
Once those are killed and I run /etc/init.d/netbackup stop or bp.kill_all it 
stops all the remaining processes and comes back to the prompt.

Somehow my nbpem process is getting hosed/or hung . I am working with Support 
on this and provided them the requested logs. Not heard back from them and 
hence wondering if anyone has seen anything like this, as I know Ver 6.0 has 
lot of issues with Scheduler but was told by support that all necessary patches 
for scheduler are included in MP3.

Any suggestions.

Thanks
Sandeep

[Veritas-bu] Server Backup Times - Scheduling Issues

2006-07-25 Thread Covington, Garrett








I am looking for a script to help me with some scheduling
issues/questions down to the client level.

 

I was given a list of 600+ servers that I need to reply with
the backup time(s) for each. Does anyone have a script (using bppllist?) that
might help me list the backup time for a client or list of clients based on the
schedule name (ours are named:daily/weekly/monthly/yearly) or type of backup
(full/incremental)?

 

In a separate but related issue, it would be helpful to have
similar scheduling information about each of my policies’ backup times
for each of the schedule within each policy….

 

Thanks,

[Veritas-bu] NB 6.0 MP3 EMM Server Dies After 1-3 Days?

2006-07-25 Thread Justin Piszcz
Does this happen to anyone else?

Running RHEL3 and after 24..48..72 hours or so, the nbemm process DIES and 
backups continue but the nbemm process is dead, so ie you cannot look at 
the volume pools, you cannot tpconfig -d to look at tape drives.  If the 
nbemm server is dead, I don't know how its cataloging what it backs up 
either!  The only way to fix is to bp.kill_all and then restart the backup 
processes.

Has anyone else seen this problem?

Justin.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Checking media

2006-07-25 Thread Wayne T Smith




I watch my logs and the "errors" file to promptly see what happened
when NetBackup "sees" a tape error.   On all errors, if NetBackup
didn't freeze the tape, I do!  Notes are written to a "blog".   Even if
a problem appears to be a drive, the tape is set to frozen (if
assigned) or directly changed to another pool (see below).

Periodically, I look at the "Media Summary" report (verbose).  If there
are expired, frozen tapes reported, I expire them with bpexpdate and
change them to a pool for just such tapes (I call it the Baudelaire
volume pool).

When my tape drives have time, I do a short erase and then long erase. 
If both go OK, the tape gets put back into service.  With a pattern of
problems, the tape is returned to our media vendor.

However, we have more trouble with our LTO-I drives than media.

Is this the sort of thing that interests you?

cheers, wayne

Hi! I’m getting status code 71 on Windows 2003 shadow copy
components full backup. Any ideas on this?

This Win NT policy backs up the OS and data partitions without any
issues but throws a status code 71 for shadow copy components. Any help would
be appreciated.

Run a catalog backup to disk/and tape and print the instructions how to 
restore from catalog backup incase the root drive fails.  Other than that, 
keep the same hostname and such and you should be ok.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Master server moving

2006-07-25 Thread WEAVER, Simon
Title: Message



Best thing to do is this (depending on your NBU OS / 
Hardware)
 
1) Note down all TCP/IP configurations on your 
Master
2) Ensure you have a GOOD Valid Catalog Backup of your 
Master
3) If possible, make an image of your Server OS 
(Optional)
4) Finally, ensure all clients can communicate with the Master 
Server using Server Name
 
As long as your Name Resolution is working, and Netbackup can 
communicate with the clients after the move, you should be 
ok.
 
I 
would personally take the catalog backup out of the robot, just in case 
!
 
The DR recovery documentation is very good and well worth a read! 
If you do not have the manuals, the PDF documents can help - NetBackup
