Re: [Veritas-bu] Media Write Errors - To Disk?!
Well have you enabled logging to check what happens at the time of the error? On the Windows system it would be Netbackup\Logs\Admin I think - also, normally the Windows Event viewer would give some indication of what is happening (ie: low on space, I/O error, scsi time out, ect). Anything like that reported Jonathan? Also, how large is the catalog - I recall someone on the list reported similar problems with disk catalog backups when it was attempting to write files larger than several GB. I assume tape catalog backups are fine :-) ?

As I eluded to in the E:\Catalog I've tried changing both directories (D:\Catalog D:\Catalog etc..) and Drives (E:\Catalog, D:\Catalog.) This particular server has 4 different disks / partitions and they all produce the same results. I'm a bit perplexed. -J -Original Message- From: Justin Piszcz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 13, 2006 3:02 PM To: Martin, Jonathan (Contractor) Cc: veritas-bu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Media Write Errors - To Disk?!

Sounds like you may have either hit a bug or bad sector(s) on the disk, I would guess the latter.

[Veritas-bu] 3 Schedules in 1 policy - Monthly has ran twice
Title: Message All NBU 5.1 MP2 Win2k3 + 2 SAN MEdia Servers Last week, I setup a policy to contain the following: Weekly Full Schedule Weekly INCR Schedule Monthly Full Schedule The Monthly Schedule has been set for Calendar, and ONLY to run on selected dates that I ticked (which shows a green tick). The Monthly and Weekly Windows are set exactly the same timeframe. I cannot think as to why this may have happened, because I set my other policies the same way, and their monthly ran last weekend, and this weekend, the weekly full schedules ran! Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong here?

Re: [Veritas-bu] NOM Hardware Requirements
FWIW, our NOM server runs in a VMWare partition and has 384MB memory and a 4GB root disk. The disk filled up at one point but having read the manual I invoked the NOM backup and log purge facility and disk space usage seems pretty stable now.

I remember the patches were 50-250MB as well, which I thought was crazy. I had set this up 4-5 months ago for test purposes and I do not recall the exact amount of memory; however, I do remember there were a lot of processes in use, the ICS stuff, a number of webserver-like applications for NOM, etc.. Perhaps someone on the list who is -currently- using NOM can shed some light on this? Thanks, Justin.
