[Veritas-bu] Compress NetBackup Catalog
Title: Message All NBU 5.1 MP2 Win2k3 + 2 SAN Media Servers I have a mirrored 76GB disk set where my catalog is stored. Presently I have 9GB of free space left. Reading the NBU Admin Guide on managing the catalog, I was interested in the section regarding compressing the netbackup catalog. NBU Admin P227 However, before taking this step I intend to take an offline backup and online backup of the catalog - but wanted to know if anyone else has used this feature before - any pros and cons to this. I am in the process of ordering 146GB disks, but I fear these will not arrive in time - but at least its a start. Any comments are welcome.

There is absolutely no good way to audit your licenses with any existing tool. You can have multiple virtual servers per physical servers (e.g. Windows cluster) that require 1 license per physical system, and you can have multiple operating systems on a VMware server that require one license per operating system type.

[Veritas-bu] Determining Number of Additional Client Licenses in NetBackup
I'm auditing my NetBackup environment to make sure that I have the number of licenses I need for clients and I'm finding the bpminlicense command somewhat unhelpful. When I run the command bpminlicense -list_keys -verbose I get output that looks like this file version= 0x0304 time added = 0x3c4bc801 Sun Jan 20 23:49:21 2002 hostname= kira product ID = 6 NetBackup Enterprise Server serial number = 3219 key version = 0x0304 count = 0 server platform = 0 Any platform client platform = 2 Any Windows platform server tier = 10 NetBackup Enterprise Server client tier = 0 No tier license type= 1 Permanent Site ID = 0 Any site Feature ID = 22 Additional clients + file version= 0x0304 time added = 0x3c4bc7ce Sun Jan 20 23:48:30 2002 hostname= kira product ID = 6 NetBackup Enterprise Server serial number = 4730 key version = 0x0304 count = 0 server platform = 0 Any platform client platform = 1 Any UNIX platform server tier = 10 NetBackup Enterprise Server client tier = 0 No tier license type= 1 Permanent Site ID = 0 Any site Feature ID = 22 Additional clients + How many additional client licenses do I have and how many of them come with Server? I'm assuming that 22 is a code for additional clients and not the number of clients. Any enlightenment will be greatly appreciated.

[Veritas-bu] Possible to downgrade from NB 6.0MP3 to NB 5.x without losing existing catalog data (i.e. backups)?
Hello, NB 6.0 has become more of a management challenge than I was looking for. Does anyone know if it is possible to go back to a 5.x release without losing the catalog data (and all the associated backups)? This is Enterprise Server running on a SPARC Solaris 10 box if it makes a difference.

[Veritas-bu] unix to windows using CLI
Hi, I am not an expert of backup but I have a task to accomplish using backup. I want some expert comments on the issue. I have 10,000 (400GB) files and may not be at same location on solaris file system(UFS), I mean those are selective files, you can not do /u01/*. I have to take backup and then restore on windows machine, again at selective locations. Can I do it using command line on both OSs. Means on solaris take backup CLI and restore on windows using cli. I am using netbackup 6.0 MP3.

Re: [Veritas-bu] BMR HPUX boot client failed
Make sure you did a prepare to restore, and that the boot server (or helper) is on the same subnet as the client. If there is more than one Ignite server on the subnet or if you are using a boot helper to boot from an Ignite server on a different subnet, specify the Ignite server to boot from by using the following command (replace x.x.x.x with the IP address of the Ignite server and y.y with the gateway): boot lan.x.x.x.x.y.y From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of chodhetz Sent: Monday, October 09, 2006 9:54 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] BMR HPUX boot client failed Dear all, i'm using BMR 6.0 MP3 BMR Main Server and boot server for hpux installed in NetBackup Master Server i want to perform bmr restore hpux client, but when i try to boot client to BMR boot server, show Booting...
