Re: [Veritas-bu] New veritas installation - jobs do not start inparallel, all else queueing
Title: New veritas installation - jobs do not start in parallel, all else queueing By default, only one job per client. (which is not a bad thing). You may want to check that global setting on the master. Another thing to check is how many multiplexed streams did you allow for in your schedules? Understand the problems with multiplexing before just raising the numbers.

Re: [Veritas-bu] New veritas installation - jobs do not start inparallel, all else queueing
Title: New veritas installation - jobs do not start in parallel, all else queueing There are are multiple settings that control the number of jobs that run at the same time (a little annoying at first, but great for flexibility in complex environments) Multiplexing: need to set the max mpxin both the storage unit and the schedule Multistreaming: need to set allow multiple datastreams in the policy attributes and (the one I would bet you don't have set currently :) Host properties- master server - global netbackup attributes - max jobs per client (need to be set greater then one) if you do all these and it still doesn't work (stop and restart nbu) and try again, if it still doesn't work check that max jobs this client hasn't been set for that particular client. hth j --Jerry Vochteloow: +61-2-8220-7043, m: +61 408 206 748The opinions stated here are mine and do not necessarily represent those ofSymantec Corp From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wessam AlySent: Saturday, 9 September 2006 10:18 PMTo: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.eduSubject: [Veritas-bu] New veritas installation - jobs do not start inparallel, all else queueing Hey all, I just started a new instakllation of Veritas Netbackup Entreprise 5.1 MP4.

[Veritas-bu] NBU 6 Sharepoint question
Hi, I'm getting to know NBU better as time goes but know very little about Sharepoint, so hopefully someone can shed a bit of light on this scenario. We had a Sharepoint server (we'll call this Sharepoint1) and this was being backed up using the Sharepoint agent fine. Now the dbs have been moved (apparently - this was done by someone else) to another server (we'll call this Sharepoint2). The IIS Sharepoint interface is still run from Sharepoint1. I didn't know the dbs had been moved, so kicked off a job manually this morning (there had been other issues last week so backups didn't run on weekend). It seems to have split into 2 child jobs; it started running and successfully backed up the second child job (what it refers to as 'INDEX DB1') but fails with4 other dbs in the other child job (Configuration DB, Content DB, User Profile DB and Services DB). Sharepoint (and perhaps NBU) appears to know about the fact the dbs are on 'Sharepoint2' (NBU is trying to connect to Sharepoint2) but it fails as there is no NBU client on Sharepoint2 (there will be). I suspect when NBU client is installed on Sharepoint2, it maybe able to connect this way, using Sharepoint1 as the 'gateway' (not sure of the correct term but it is still used to connect to Sharepoint; only the dbs have been moved to Sharepoint2). Will I need to backup Sharepoint2 with the Sharepoint agent also, or should backing up Sharepoint1 take care of this, providing there is a client on Sharepoint 2? Cheers, - Tim Wilkinson I.T.

[Veritas-bu] DSU - Update
Title: Message All I have been testing DSU backups, and must admit I have not been impressed with the throughput to disk. I ran a particular job over the weekend. Setup as follows: LAN Client normally takes 2-3hours via Tape LTO3 HP ESL Created a Disk on my Master Server Configured a DSU with phase 2 Set the policy to use the newly created storage unit. Let the backup run. The backup took 4 hours (just over). However, writing to tape (I guess when it does its duplication) took under 1 hour. The Disk that was presented to my Master is a VDISK from a HP EVA using Fibre SCSI disks. Essentially the HP EVA is a large SAN, and you can create volumes and present them to a specific Server. Have I missed something here, or is it a case that my Tape Setup (that is all fibre channel connected) is actually running better than I thought.
