Re: [Veritas-bu] Multipathing San drives

Hi again! Well that last image shows NO storage unit present! you could run the Device Configuration Wizard again, and it should find the robot+drives, and create the applicable named storage unit. Or you can manually create one. I am assuming of course that this image is correct, and that there is no storage unit present?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Quick Verify Question regarding upgrade for MP
Thank you Ed. I do appreciate the response. The Technote does indeed talk about the upgrade process being Master / Media / Clients in this order. I guess I was trying to find a possible in-trim work around to upgrade the Master and upgrade this single client to MP5 (which is LAN Based client) to prove all is ok. (without affecting the SAN Media Servers straight away and buy some time). But if the Business do not allow the downtime, there are no real options open here! And worse case Ed, I can revert the entire system back using a snap-shot based system which only takes 5 mins to do and 10 to revert back! Will keep the list posted if I try this the unsupported way.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Trunking in solaris...
Sorta true, Darren. However, since in an NBU env, the master initiates the backup, and theclient replies to the interface from which the backup was initiated, youget very good load balancing. Ie, the master server starts the backup via interface-A, the client seesthe backup request from interface-A, and then starts transmitting backupdata backup to interface-A. I'm getting almost exactly 50:50 loadbalancing of incoming data on apair of GigE NICs. You will need to have the interface name of both NICs in the clients'bp.conf files. However, I'm troubleshooting an issue with hot DB backups that I thinkmight be related to ambiguity between the interface names and thehostname.although I think I may be able to resolve it with a DNShunt pool.If that doesn't work, then I'll probably have to go withEtherChannel/Suntrunking for the master, though I'll probably leave themedia servers as they are.

[Veritas-bu] NetBackup Buffers
Hi All Has any one done any benchmarking with NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS, SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS, NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS_DISK, SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS_DISK, NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS_RESTORE, SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS_RESTORE and NET_BUFFER_SIZE with NBU 6.0 I read it somewhere that Veritas has upped the default values for these tuning variables and creating those entries in /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config is no longer neccessary.

[Veritas-bu] make_scsi_dev woes under Linux
Hello all, I am having problems with the make_scsi_dev command as well. I have read every thing out there and some are great ideas, however when I run it on a particular system it crashed the system, nowhere have I read this happening. if any one out there has info as to what the exact commands that are run within the binary it would be great. this may be a system problem and until i find out what is being run i am stuck between Veritas and IBM.

Wait for the completion of all backups and then run make_scsi_dev. Then configure all Linux drives. After that comment (#) the make_scsi_dev line at the NetBackup startup script.

The devices as created by the OS (st*, nst*) can change due to HBA driver upgrades, PCI bus detection order changes, somebody moving an HBA around on the system or somebody moving a drive around in the SAN for various reasons (port based zoning). Another problem is if any of the previous scenarios occur then NB creates entirely different /dev/st/*, /dev/sg/* entries to represent the new host/controller/target/lun detection order. Naturally either of these scenarios results in drive and robotic library id mismatches and either netbackup refusing to start or drives going into perm DOWN state. We can use 2.6 kernel udev rules to map WWNs to OS devices and always have consistent /dev/st*, /dev/sg* device names to get around the first problem; however the NB auto-created devices can still change so we are stuck with things occasionally breaking and then we waste a fare amount of time putting it all back together again. Is there some better way of handling this? Dan- * Note: The information contained in this message and any attachment to it is privileged, confidential and protected from disclosure.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Trunking in solaris...
Ie, the master server starts the backup via interface-A, the client sees the backup request from interface-A, and then starts transmitting backup data backup to interface-A. I'm getting almost exactly 50:50 loadbalancing of incoming data on a pair of GigE NICs. Fantastic. I'm letting through some of my greater familiarity with networker, where I would oftentimes have to explicitly provide the server interface in the configuration. So there is no ability to autobalance in that situation. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOShttp://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?

Re: [Veritas-bu] help please
I should add that for those of us who started using NetBackup for the first time from version 6 the catalogue volume pool is likely to be CatalogBackup (when using hot catalogue backups). We actually use the NetBackup volume pool for data backups (fed from scratch) as that seemed logical during the install. From the Admin Guide:- NetBackup automatically creates a CatalogBackup volume pool that is selected by default only for NBU-Catalog policy types. Offline, cold catalog backups use media from the NetBackup volume pool.

Re: [Veritas-bu] DB backup tapes and DR
I rotate my tapes - so every week, they rotate and stored in a safe. I have even created my own DR solution, which gives anyone the need to put in a CD, restore Server from image, and run bprecover. I used to do disk-based backups. Not anymore. I do however, take OFFLINE Backups of the system - though its not supported, but it does work and has been used as a last resort method.

I tried this once and when the db backup job ran the next day for the one remote site it complained about not having its netbackup tape in the robot.

Yes the NetBackup Pool is there by default, and yes if it remains unconfigured, new media goes into this pool, but ideally the NetBackup pool is for the placement of catalog backups. Its much, much easier to keep a track of the tapes by seperating them into corresponding pools. Of course, depends on your environemnt, type of client, backups, volume configuration, ect Regards Simon Weaver 3rd Line Technical Support Windows Domain Administrator EADS Astrium Limited, B23AA IM (DCS) Anchorage Road, Portsmouth, PO3 5PU Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Dave Markham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 December 2006 16:41 To: Curtis Preston Cc: nizar motasim; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] help please Thats odd then, why when configuring catalogue backups to tapes it will only allow you to input media which is assigned to the Netbackup pool? Dave Curtis Preston wrote: The NetBackup pool isn't reserved for catalogue backups. It's the default pool that all backups go to unless you specify otherwise. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Markham Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 3:34 AM To: nizar motasim Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] help please To note Nizar the Netbackup volume pool is a special pool reserved for the catalogue backups. I suggest you define a new volume pool for your backups and also create a scratch pool ( dont forget to check the scratchpool tick box ). Also dont forget in your policy or schedule to specify the volume pool you have just created.
