Re: [Veritas-bu] CLOSE_WAIT

2006-10-30 Thread WEAVER, Simon

David
I have a Support Call open, in regards to Media errors, and the Symantec
Engineer said the following.


Simon,
Tcp tuning parameters changes the wait time for a port which is in a
TIME_WAIT state. A port will stay in this state for 4 minutes by default.
Decreasing this time allows the port to be closed sooner rather than later
allowing the port to be re-opened or stay as listening if need be. I noticed
VMD (the volume manager daemon process) in TIME_WAIT state. If NetBackup VMD
is timing out when trying to write to the next media or when trying to write
header information, this could possibly cause problems.

NOTE: For more information see Microsoft article # Q120642 at the following
URL: 

TCP/IP and NBT Configuration Parameters for Windows 2000 or Windows NT

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;120642 

I think this is the same link Steve sent, but does any of this help answer
your Q - For the record, I have NOT implemented this yet, as I have made one
major change and want to review this before applying any other fix straight
away (otherwise applying multiple fixes at the same time, means I have no
trackable method of knowing what fixed the root problem).

Subject: [Veritas-bu] CLOSE_WAIT


Hi All

Scenario : 

Master server Solaris 8
Media server windows 2000

Over the past weekend we encountered a whole bunch of 219's on jobs using a
particular media server, a netstat on the media server provided the below
snapshot. The CLOSE_WAIT entries seemed to hang around for ages,
additionally hogging sockets. On the master server everything was plodding
along as usual.

Q1. can anyone explain why these sockets on the media server do not close
fully and hang around for quite sometime ? If indeed the master server has
not 
finalised comms, what (on the master) would be keeping the socket open
between the two.

Q2. Does anyone know the default setting for the maximum number of
simultaneous tcp connections on windows 2000? 

Q3. If I was to add the registry key to tcp parameters "TcpNumConnections" ,
what guidelines could I follow to determine the number of connections ?

Q4. Not so long ago on the same windows media server I added the registry
key to tcp parameters "TcpTimedWaitDelay" in order to clear TIME_WAIT more 
quickly. Are there any known issues with windows 2000 and tcp
connections that I'm not aware off ?

Much appreciated

David Clooney

TcpTimedWaitDelay is the value that should help you close those sockets faster. I have to run to a meeting but will try to send more info later.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Duplicate BE images from DLT to hcart media

2006-10-30 Thread Mansell, Richard



Hi Simrat
 
We went through a similar exercise earlier in the year. 
Although you can import the BE tapes in to the NetBackup catalogue they don't 
appear in the duplication screen so you can't duplicate them. 

 
I raised a call with Symantec as I noticed that there was a 
command called beconv in the manual that could be used to convert BE catalogues 
to NetBackup. The binary didn't appear to exist though. This is apparently a 
utility made available in earlier versions of NetBackup (4.5?) but is now no 
longer available. I did consider trying to obtain an earlier copy of NetBackup 
and using that to do a catalogue conversion but they said that the way NetBackup 
treated BE data changed in later versions so it might not be a goer. It might 
not have saved a huge amount of time anyway as you still have to import the 
tapes.
 
In the end we did DLT to LT03 duplication in the old BE 
environment and now just import the LTO's in to NetBackup as and when restores 
are required.
 
Regards
 
Richard

Alas, NDMP is NDMP, so NAS or Mail appliance shouldn't matter much.
Just to confirm, are your tape drives connected/zoned to the appliance(backup

Our NDMP is not a NAS, but a mail appliance.  We're using a media server 
because of network config.

The oddity this weekend was that we received the fastest backup ever, but I 
can't solidly determine from where.  The NDMP appliance said only the test 
media server (Linux) was able to back it up.  NBU said that the production 
Media Server (Windows) did the deed.  Logs are not conclusive either.

I'm also still dealing with the message "Tape Media server is not active" with 
tape zoned and visible. Ideas?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Oracle agent issue

If you are using the Oracle agent, then you either have a template or 
script, or, I suppose you could type in the RMAN command by hand.  What 
is (or are) your RMAN command(s)?

We're on 6.0.  You have to install the NDMP components separately.  I'll

Re: [Veritas-bu] Memory usage under rhel 2.1

2006-10-30 Thread Joe Royer
Memory management in 2.1 is not great (2.4.9 kernel).  I'm assuming you 
are using a hugemem kernel, or it wouldn't access more than 4GB to begin 
with.

Check out
/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-e.59/Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt

You also might want to google:
  "linux 2.4.9 kernel tuning fileserver sysctl"

There are lots of similarities between NBU and NFS on linux WRT memory 
management.

Best answer:  Upgrade to 4.3, it made a world of difference for me.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Memory usage under rhel 2.1
To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu

Hi,
I have a media server (NBU 5.1 MP4) running under RHEL 2.1 AS. 
The server is a SUN V40Z with 8GB RAM. There are 6 LTO2 tape drives 
attachedto it. 
Under normal circunstances, each job is recorded on two tapes 
simultaneously
(on and off-site copy). 
My question is regarding the memory usage, which looks too low. 
NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS=64, SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS=524288, and the MPX of each 
of the 6 drives is 32.
So, according to the manual, the total shared memory allocate should be: 
NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS x SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS x MPX x Number of drives = 6 GB.

However, using linux top command, we see a plenty of free memory (5 or 
6GB),no matter how many jobs are running.

btpm complains also that it?s waiting for empty buffers.

Am I doing something wrong?

TIA

Re: [Veritas-bu] Linux Media Server + Win2K3 Master

2006-10-30 Thread Paul Keating
On 6.0, as the DB is on the master (EMM) server, and not on the Mediaserver, I 
would be inclined to use the Master.Actually, I would use(and am using) the 
master, regardless.
The only reason I wouldn't use the master, is if I was short on diskspace, and 
a media server had lots, and the NAS FS was large with lotsof small files.
Sure NDMP is chatty, but if the drives are attached to the NAS anyway,you're 
still minimizing network traffic.
I'm assuming you're talking about dedicated NAS attached tapedrives.

I've discovered the contributing factor to this, but can't find out why.

With the added test Linux Media Server, if I set the storage unit to be 
used by only that Media Server, it won't mount a tape, reporting that 
the "Tape Media server is not active".  If it's set to any available, 
the job will run, but not by the Linux media server.  So far, any job
ran to use the Linux storage unit are sourcing from the master server. 
Additionally, what I'm trying to back up is a NDMP device, and if I try
to create a NDMP storage unit, the Linux media server isn't even 
available.
So, it seems that I'm missing something.  Suggestions while I go off and 
dig through the Nix Admin Guide?

Re: [Veritas-bu] CLOSE_WAIT

2006-10-30 Thread Dyck, Jonathan
I'm also interested in this topic.  My "netstat -a" looked the same as
yours last week David.

Last week I ran into an issue where (what I think was..) some security
scans on my network for TCP traffic tied up a certain number of ports on
my W2k3 master and some NBU processes were unable to interact reliably.
Four levels of support were unable to suitably explain the problem to
me, and all we ended up doing was throwing in a TCP wait delay into the
registry,  which "worked" with middling success.  The issue has since
disappeared (mysteriously) - as I assume whatever activity that was
happening over those couple of days has since stopped.

Cheers,
Jon

Hi All

Scenario : 

Master server Solaris 8
Media server windows 2000

Over the past weekend we encountered a whole bunch of 219's on jobs
using a particular media server, a netstat on the media server provided
the below snapshot. The CLOSE_WAIT entries seemed to hang around for
ages, additionally hogging sockets. On the master server everything was
plodding along as usual.

Q1. can anyone explain why these sockets on the media server do not
close fully and hang around for quite sometime ? If indeed the master
server has not 
finalised comms, what (on the master) would be keeping the socket
open between the two.

Q2. Does anyone know the default setting for the maximum number of
simultaneous tcp connections on windows 2000? 

Q3. If I was to add the registry key to tcp parameters
"TcpNumConnections" , what guidelines could I follow to determine the
number of connections ?

Q4. Not so long ago on the same windows media server I added the
registry key to tcp parameters "TcpTimedWaitDelay" in order to clear
TIME_WAIT more 
quickly. Are there any known issues with windows 2000 and tcp
connections that I'm not aware off ?

Much appreciated

2006-10-30 Thread Koster, Phil
Title: Scalix message content





We have an old Storage TEK
9840 library that because of our setup requires a SCSI-to-Fiber bridge
(connected through a Dell 56f, I know, break out the history books) for our NBU
master to connect to it.  That connection is a little flakey and this weekend it
"hiccupped" on us effectively killing all of our back ups.  For some reason it
will not re-initialize itself when the communication is reliably restored. 
Management will not throw ANY money at this as there is a P.O. somewhere in our
purchasing department for a whole new tape library.  (BTW, we are running NBU6
MP2 on a Win 2K Server.)

Question is:

Will a "tpconfig -l" get us
to a point where we can tell what is going on and be able to parse it or should
we be doing something else?  

From my own experimentation
it looks like a tpconfig -l will not actually tell us the robot's status (always
shows up as a hyphen) but we can see the drive status which (near as I can tell)
should be UP, DOWN, or AVR.  So in theory we could parse for the AVR status on
the drives and go from there.  Problem is we have a second NBU server that uses
the same robot through our master that we will begin using soon to offload some
