Re: [Veritas-bu] VMware Consolidated Backup

[smpt]

I know that it isn’t
as difficult as you may imagine. 

The master must have
drives and must be in the same SAN with the vmware system.

There are some scripts
from vmware that are running as bpstart_notify.

 

You must take the system
state of the virtual systems with regular netbackup backup.

 

We have it in our lab
and it is working fine

Consolidated Backup



 




Hi,





 





I am running ESX 3.0 and am currently running backups per client. 
I would like to look into backing up the vmdk files using VMware Consolidated
Backup option.  Does anyone have any information that they can share with
me?  Is there anything I need to do on the Master/Media servers? On the
clients?

I just want to say thanks to all who have helped me and others on the list. I ask questions from time to time looking for answer and to confirm what I am thinking is the right path others would take. I don’t always say thanks to each person who responds so consider this a general thank you to everyone who are here helping others.

I am just curious how many of you remotely handle tapes that get stuck in a drive. Job fails, or the drive goes down etc. I'm sure most use robtest but was wondering if any other methods are used.

Greg
Well on my old ADIC Scalar 100 I can safely say over 10 times a
WEEK !
 
Library was ok at the same, but developed alot of faults. Failed
to respond to NBU, ended up manually opening the library, physicall removing the
tape and placing into its original slot.
 
In some cases, placing in any slot and running an inventory.
RobTest was not very good on this occasion!
 
Luckily those days are gone :-) Never
again!

I just use the Tape Library GUI and place
back in the slot and just update the inventory manually.
Although, I must admit I have only ever had
1 tape stuck in a drive, and that was due to a heating problem .. or should

we 
have the library web console for out STK L700's in production, and our SL500 in 
the lab.
I've 
tried many times to unload a drive with it, though I've never been able to get 
it to actually unload/unmount.
 
most 
times I use robtest.if I can't get it out with robtest, I'll do a "mt -f 
/dev/rmt/#cbn rewoffl".
if 
that doesn't work, like I occasionally get a "device name does not exist", then 
I'll issue the same command from another server zoned to the same drive, (a DR 
box, for example).
 
If 
none of that works, I will press the unload button on the drive..that works 
99.9% of the time, but then sometimes the drive disappears from one or more 
servers, untill I power cycle the drive.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Stuck tapes survey

Title: Stuck tapes survey








Assuming robtest works that’s how we
do it.  

 

I have seen occasions where physical
intervention was required so we had to have an operator or someone power cycle
the drive (or even fish the tape out).  No matter whether it is robtest or any
other way its important to verify the NBU inventory is still OK.  If you put it
in a different slot than original it won’t be and some failures cause NBU
to think the tape is “offsite” (i.e. not in the robot).   One thing
I like about robtest is the “s d” will show not only which drive
the tape is in but also the slot from which it originally came.

That was so damn simple it’s never

talk to it.  Hopefully I’ll remember this next time.  (Knock on wood –
haven’t had to do this in 3-4 months after having many issues for a few
before that.)   FYI:  On some HP-UX st also exists and may be better to use.

Paul, using robtest you should be able to unmount a tape.

1) run robtest
2) type: unload d1
3) type: m d1 s50

to move the tape in d1 to slot 50 (assuming s50 wsa empty)

Should work, I would not use the mt commands unless the robtest cmds fail.

[Veritas-bu] Clustered Master servers

[Bobby Williams]

Masters are Solaris 9, NB5.1MP4

If master servers are clustered with Veritas cluster, how does NetBackup deal 
with shared tape drives that both masters connect to?

Do we have to get SSO licenses so they can share the drives?  

Is there a cluster aware add on that I will have to get?

Please don't give your opinion, I am seeking info from folks that are using 
clustered Sun masters.  (not meaning to be rude, but to many erroneous opions 
can be harmful.)

Thanks.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Client Hostnames

[Hillman, Eric]

Thanks for all of your replies.  This has been a very interesting and
helpful thread.  I may have found one issues when using aliases however.
Can anyone confirm that you CANNOT use an alias of the server name when
backing up an Exchange server/cluster?  From what I'm reading, the
netbackup client needs to reference the Exchange application using the
actual hostname used when installing Exchange in order to successfully
access the specified storage groups.  This would mean that the actual
hostname of the box needs to be added to the Netbackup Policy and not a
"-backup" hostname.  Hopefully, this would be the only case that an
alias cannot be used.  Thanks!

Depends on environment.  We have a shared NBU infrastructure that backs
up multiple client environments, therefore we have the potential problem
of two different clients with the same short name.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Client Hostnames

[Paul Keating]

There's a difference between a second node name and an alias.

An alias is a DNS (or other) entry that points to another "name"

F'rinstance...

I have a master server with hostname "master" but the network interfaces
are called master-eth0 and master-eth1


In DNS I have
192.168.100.1   master-eth0
192.168.100.2   master-eth1

I also have an alias for "master" that points to master-eth0

All of my backup clients need to have master-eth0 and master-eth1 listed
as their backup servers...not "master".

This is because, when the client sees a backup request, it comes from
192.168.100.1, and then it performs reverse DNS lookup, and the name
resolves to "master-eth0"...so this must be the name it has in it's
bp.conf. we have no IPs in DNS that reverse to master, so while it is
the hostname of the machine, (and the hostname of the DR standby master)
it doesn't correlate to any IPsmakes it very portable for us if we
need to move to new hardware. We can have 10 backup masters all running
with the same "hostname" of "master", but the name doesn't exist on the
network, or in any naming scheme, except as an "alias" or a pointer in
DNS, so that we don't have to type in the "-eth0" when telnetting to the
machine, or launching the java GUI.

I can also take the catalog backup from this machine and restore it on
another machine with the same hostname.quite convenient.

Paul

Re: [Veritas-bu] Client Hostnames

[Martin, Jonathan \(Contractor\)]

Hrm... Never noticed this before.  I setup a test pointing
IMAGINARYSERVER1 to my Exchange Cluster here and Whalla - did not work.
Error 71 "None of the files on the list exist."  I guess you do need the
actual host (or cluster) name to backup exchange.  Not really an issue
for us currently using HOSTS files, but you could probably get around
anything with HOSTS files or static DNS.

[Veritas-bu] How do I make only one duplicate of a backup image using bpduplicate?

[Steve Kirkpatrick]

Hello,

I have NetBackup 6.0MP3 running on Solaris (in case it matters).

I am trying to figure out how to duplicate my Full backup images, but only 
once.  On the NetBackup server, I had to set "Maximum backup copies" to 3 in 
order to write out DSSU-based backups to both a Full pool (on-site) and a 
Duplicate pool (off-site).  

I have another set of Full backups that does not use the DSSU, they are written 
directly to the Full pool.  Now, when I periodically run bpduplicate to 
duplicate these backup images to the Duplicate pool, it does it twice on 
successive runs.  The first time it creates copy 2 and the 2nd time it creates 
copy 3.  Is there an easy way to tell it I only what one copy of the backup 
image?

I have some ideas on how I can script around this but I was hoping there was an 
easy way built into the product.  Maybe I am missing an option?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve.

I can confirm that Exchange gets very unhappy when the client name does
not match the actual hostname.

   Hello to all!  

I am trying to backup up all database Exchange 2000 (Microsoft Information 
Store:\)  but  
I only got  backup of some of those storage groups  and  I got the following 
message error: 

failure reading file: Microsoft Information Store:\ EDC First Storage Group\EDC 
Mailbox Store II  (BEDS 0XFE7A) 
failure reading file: Microsoft Information Store:\ EDCEM First Storage 
Group\EDCEM  Mailbox Store I  (BEDS 0XFE7A)
failure reading file: Microsoft Information Store:\ EDCEM Second Storage 
Group\EDCEM  Mailbox Store V  (BEDS 0XFE7A)

What does that mean?  

The Master Server Netbackup 5.1 (M2) is running on the server AIX 5.2  
meanwhile the media server Exchange 2000 is running on the server Windows 2000. 
  

If anyone has seen similar issues or has any suggestions with how to fix this 
problem,  your input would be greatly appreciated..  

Thanks in advance

Re: [Veritas-bu] How do I make only one duplicate of a backup imageusing bpduplicate?

[Paul Keating]

When you run bpduplicate, it doesn't consider how many copies exist.
It will do just as you ask and create a new copy, as long it doesn't
exceed the "max backup copies".

The simple answer is, if you don't want another copy, don't run it
again.

Vault is a little more intelligent. You specify a target volume pool,
and if a copy already exists *in that pool*, it won't make another.

bpduplicate is the manual way of duplicating, that circumvents the
"artificial intelligence" of Vault.

Cheers,
Paul

Re: [Veritas-bu] Can´t backup up all Microsoft Info rmation Stores!

[Martin, Jonathan \(Contractor\)]

Are the information stores themselves damaged?  The only time I've ever gotten 
anything like this I had to have my exchange admin run eseutil on the databases 
and logs to fix them up.  It was associated with data corruption and a disk 
failure.  I would try and move mailboxes in/out of these storage groups or 
check with users who have data on them because my first idea is that your 
information stores themselves are having issues.

   Hello to all!  

I am trying to backup up all database Exchange 2000 (Microsoft Information 
Store:\)  but I only got  backup of some of those storage groups  and  I got 
the following message error: 

failure reading file: Microsoft Information Store:\ EDC First Storage Group\EDC 
Mailbox Store II  (BEDS 0XFE7A) failure reading file: Microsoft Information

failure reading file: Microsoft Information Store:\ EDCEM Second Storage 
Group\EDCEM  Mailbox Store V  (BEDS 0XFE7A)

What does that mean?  

The Master Server Netbackup 5.1 (M2) is running on the server AIX 5.2  
meanwhile the media server Exchange 2000 is running on the server Windows 2000. 
  

If anyone has seen similar issues or has any suggestions with how to fix this 
problem,  your input would be greatly appreciated..  

Thanks in advance

Re: [Veritas-bu] Can´t backup up all Microsoft Info rmation Stores!

[Len Boyle]

Hello Juan, 

You need to look in the event logs on the exchange server. This should have 
more detailed error logs on the problem. That is exchange error logs not 
netbackup logs. You might also look at system or hardware error messages also. 
With the exchange error logs, you can check support.microsoft.com for the 
procedures to correct the problem. You will need an exchange admin person. 

Most likely it is a problem with the exchange data store. Sometimes the 
exchange store can be stopped and started to clean things up. Some times you 
have to do a restore. Some times it can be a problem with the data path. But as 
you say some of the data bases were handled, this most likely is not the case.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU Advanced Reporter

[John_Trainer]

Simon,  I looked at all those and
others including CommandCentral Service and Bocada.  Save yourself
time, just buy the Aptare StorageConsole.

Besides NBAR requires a separate license
and if that meets your needs then just upgrade to NBU6 and use the free
NOM (aka CCS lite)

[Veritas-bu] Interesting Error with NBU 5.1MP5 and Oracle

[Jared Still]

Though no errors were raised, there is definitely an error condition.The server is 5.1 MP5 on Windows 2003 Enterprise Server.The client is RH Linux ES 4, Oracle 9.2.0.6 with the NBU 
5.1 MP5 client.While investigating some backup issues, I found the following interestingcondition in a log file.  Though the template seen in the log clearly shows that database DB01 is to be backed up, database DB02 was the one that was 
actually backed up.This has been verified with bplist, and the fact that the controlfile autobackfilename inludes the DBID from DB01.   Both databases are on the sameserver, but the passwords for the NBU account is different on each. It appears
as if the NBU software is picking up the wrong database and password fromit's own data.  Losing track of pointers.Also, both databases have backups scheduled at the same time.Interesting, no?
I've opened a support case for this, but just wondered if anyone elsehas ever seen anything like this.-- Jared StillCertifiable Oracle DBA and Part Time Perl Evangelist
