[Veritas-bu] Oracle backup with or without Advance Client

[Priatna]

Hi all,

RMAN can do incremental backup. An incremental backup reads the entire 
file and then backs up only those data
blocks that have changed since a previous backup.

my question with regards oracle backup type :
- Is BLI - Advance Client still needed, to take incremental backup?
- What is the additional benefit by using Advance Client BLI in the 
oracle type backup?

Thanks,
Priatna

Not a tool, but Veritas does have a performance tuning guide that gives 
you rules of thumb for configuration based on volume, number and type of 
tape drives, etc.  It's not great (how relevant is Mhz these days when 
you're talking about various hardware architectures?) but it's a decent 
start.  Start there and then ask specific questions.

Some vendors also have their own sizing tools.   You may have a local 
consulting company that has developed one.

It's not exactly cheap, but I think you have to talk to Aptare about the
specifics.  I get the impression that pricing is not necessarily a fixed
option. :-(

[Veritas-bu] RMAN recovery from tape with automatic channels

[Jared Still]

Whilst trying to simplify our restore procedures by using automatic channels
to configure RMAN for tape, I have run into the following problem.

A simple restore and recover operations fails because RMAN is opening
a disk channel rather than a tape channel.

RMAN> run {
2> #allocate channel ch1 type 'sbt';
3>  restore database;
4>  recover database;
5>  alter database open;
6> }
Starting restore at 20-MAR-07

allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=13 devtype=DISK
RMAN-00571: ===
RMAN-00569: === ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===
RMAN-00571: ===
RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 03/20/2007 12:05:59
RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
RMAN-06100: no channel to restore a backup or copy of datafile 10
...
RMAN-06100: no channel to restore a backup or copy of datafile 1

RMAN>
RMAN>
RMAN> **end-of-file**

RMAN> show all;

RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 5 DAYS;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO 'SBT_TAPE';
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; #
default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARALLELISM 2;
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' MAXOPENFILES 8;
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'D:\ORACLE\ORA92\DATABASE\SNCFTL01.ORA';
# default

RMAN>


As you can see, SBT_TAPE is set as the automatic channel.
The script works as expected if the 'allocate channel' line is uncommented.

Backups via the automatic channel work fine.

Environment:
Oracle 9.2.0.7
No Recovery catalog
Veritas NetBackup 5.1 MP5
Windows Server 2003 SP1

Has anyone here run into this?
Or know a possible solution?

I know there are some issues with NBU 5.1 and RMAN, so I guess
this could be another one.

I have searched MetaLink and googled veritas.com - not much help.

Thanks,

In my experience, with more than one stream, a bad idea.

 

I had 6 streams (tried increments starting at 2) running with a Windows media

Now with a SuSE based media server(s), all streams finish fine with no errors.

[Veritas-bu] Status 50

[Jack Forester, Jr.]

Greetings...

We're starting to experience a large number of backup jobs ending with a 
status code of 50.  Every now and then I used to see backups end with a 
50, but it was usually due to someone rebooting a media server in the 
middle of a backup.  The ones I'm seeing I can confirm that the server 
was not rebooted.  However, it appears that the backup is running to 
completion before getting the 50.  Backup times, number of files backed 
up, and kbytes are consistent from when the backup completes normally.  
After digging into the bpsched log (the only one I had active at the 
time) I do see things that suggest that whatever causes the error 
happens after the backup completes.  I never see "EXIT STATUS 50" in the 
bpsched log, but I do see "EXIT STATUS 0" in the log associated with the 
bpsched job for the job that gets a 50.  The images on media shows a 
backup image, and the backup and restore GUI shows files that were 
backed up.

I hope my description was coherent.  We're doing the standard 
stuff...enabling bptm, bpbkar, etc logs and hoping the error occurs so 
we can capture something in the act.  I was wondering if anyone here has 
seen this before, and whay you did to correct it.  We're running 
5.1MP6.  Right now, we're seeing this only on our test systems, but I 
how we can get a handle on it before (if) we see it on our production side.

Greg, I'm trying to convince my management to purchase it as well.  

Besides all the benefits of the visual dashboard and the daily reports
on utilization (Media Servers and tape drives), SLAs, Missing and
Suspect client backups; I am using custom reports to email our
compliance department of our daily job summaries.  In this report, there
is a Notes field added to the report that includes the Notes I add to a
JobID that either fails, retries or partially succeeds.  

Overall, I love the ease of creating so many reports that give me a
better picture of what my backup environment is doing.  

Phil.

They have recently added a policy audit module that you can access the
same way you would accecss an automated report.  We are currently on
6.0.14, I don't remember off the top of my head when they added the
access to the report.

The reports are in the /opt/aptare/database/custom_reports directory in

I can mirror most of this, plus add a few more.  One of the more recent
additions is tracking of policy changes.  We are just starting to use
this as an audit control of what changes are made in a given policy.  It
makes for a good balance check against our change management process.

We have also saved many hours of our operations staff's time by giving
them a single screen to monitor off-hours rather than have seven
distinct NBU Activity Montiors running to track job status.  The
consolidated views simplify and help target what we react to.

My favorite report is probably the Backup Duration SLA report.  It gives
a simple view of what backups are taking a long time to complete,
allowing us to target those systems as potential items to optimize.

I can mirror most of this, plus add a few more.  One of the more recent
additions is tracking of policy changes.  We are just starting to use
this as an audit control of what changes are made in a given policy.  It
makes for a good balance check against our change management process.

We have also saved many hours of our operations staff's time by giving
them a single screen to monitor off-hours rather than have seven
distinct NBU Activity Montiors running to track job status.  The
consolidated views simplify and help target what we react to.

My favorite report is probably the Backup Duration SLA report.  It gives
a simple view of what backups are taking a long time to complete,
allowing us to target those systems as potential items to optimize.

They have recently added a policy audit module that you can access the
same way you would accecss an automated report.  We are currently on
6.0.14, I don't remember off the top of my head when they added the
access to the report.

The reports are in the /opt/aptare/database/custom_reports directory in
a typical install.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Ststus code 223 ????????

[Hindle, Greg]

Try deleting that server out of the policy and then re adding it again.
Or you may need to delete the whole policy and recreate it. I have had
weird things like this as well and the only answer was to delete and re
add.

Hello all,

I am getting 223 errors while backing up my windows systems the guide
states the following:

Message: an invalid entry was encountered

Explanation: A request to the bpdbm process (NetBackup Database Manager
service on Windows NT) had invalid or conflicting information. This is
usually a result of using software from different versions together, but
can also be caused by incorrect parameters on a command.

Recommended Action: Verify that all NetBackup software is at the same
version level and the command parameters are specified correctly. If
neither of these is the problem, obtain detailed troubleshooting
information by creating a bpdbm activity log directory and retrying the
operation. Check the resulting activity log.

This sounds weird as the version hasn't changed.

I am currently running 5.1 mp5

Hi Sergey

In unix, they must be stored in /usr/openv/netbackup/bin
and be named bpstart_notify..
They must be executable and the policy  and schedue names are case 
sensitive.
There are examples in the manual.  I can send a sample of one of ours.. 
Everything must be correct
for them to work.

Re: [Veritas-bu] 219 when number of jobs are high??

[Paul Keating]

Started happening here early this year, only during the weekend fulls
and always around the same time, 07:10, Saturday morning.
 
happened every couple of weekes for a while, then got to the point where
it was every week.
 
After watching disk IO, I discovered there was a significant number of
waits on the /opt/openv partition, so I've since changed the /opt/openv
partition on my Master to a striped/mirrored (RAID-10) layout rather
than the mirrored/concatenated layout that it had previously.it was
originally built like that with only 2 disks in a mirror. As the data
grew we added 2 disks and extended the volume, but didn't change the
layout to striped, so it appears the problem started right around when
the data grew out of the first pair of disks onto the second.
 
I also added forceload statements in /etc/system for the SCSI and FC
drivers at the same time.
 
Haven't had it happen since.

Re firing the jobs after a few minutes succeeds, but not

Re: [Veritas-bu] RMAN backup notify scripts

[Evsyukov, Sergey]

Hi Patrick,
seems like this scripts prepeared for DB backup without RMAN. In this case 
standart bpend_notify script called by bpbkar:
 
15:16:59.146 [21123] <4> bpbkar PrintFile: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpend_notify
15:18:32.312 [21123] <4> bpbkar notify: INF - START bpend_notify
15:18:32.312 [21123] <4> bpbkar notify: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpend_notify 
v480b SUN_OS_DMZ SUN_OS_INC CINC 0
15:18:32.339 [21123] <4> bpbkar notify: INF - END bpend_notify

For RMAN backup bpbkar does not starts? rman connects to server directly. But 
we need some notify methods for backup statistic collecting

Re: [Veritas-bu] Unable to restore DBs on SQL2005 cluster

[WEAVER, Simon (external)]

Are you doing the restore by the virtual name?
Assume you have the logging set to max - must give something in the log file
to indicate the reason of failure.
 
Permissions set correctly?

Hi Dennis,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

I can confirm that the directory I am attempting to restore the date to does
exist and is a resource located on the cluster.

 

Checking both the bphdb and dbclient logs yields no additional information.
Unfortunately the SQL cluster config was implemented by and is supported by
a third party (my customer) and I purely supply managed backups therefore
identifying if this is a MSSQL configuration issue is proving difficult.

 

Any additional suggestions much appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

Steve.

Hi

 

2 things you can check:

Make sure that the directory you are restoring into exists, eg.
'g:\FTData\sysfttestCMS, 'g:\FTData.  The directories cannot be created by
the restore.

IF SQL is in the cluster, and the G:\ drive is an alternate location to the
original, then G:\drive has to be a resource in the cluster as well.

 

Also check the bphdb, and dbclient logs.

Hi,

 

I am attempting to restore a DB using the Veritas SQL agent on a SQL 2005
cluster with no success. I have managed to restore both the MSDB and Master
Databases successfully (by running MSSQL in single user mode for the Master
and stopping SQL agent for the MSDB); but the non system DB's are not
playing.

 

The following error message is being displayed:

I have attempted to perform the restore by using the Move template option
and renaming the file names, but again to no avail.

 

As I have had no issues in the past with regular MSSQL restores I presume
that this is probably a SQL2005 or cluster issue but am unsure as to where
to start after working on this for several days.

 

I would be grateful if anyone had any ideas or instructions regarding
restoring SQL 2005 clusters.

 

My environment is as follows:

 

Veritas Master & Media servers & client running Enterprise v5.1MP6

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Steve.

It depends on the tape (type) and network bandwidth and media server

Yes they need to be created locally for each media server that you wish

Hi 


I have setup a new media server. 

According http://support.veritas.com/docs/273532
  , one can increase 

the performance of Disk Storage Units and Disk Staging Storage Units by 

creating two files 


/usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS_DISK. 
Add the value 1048576 into the file. 

/usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS_DISK. 
Add the value 16 into the file. 


So far the two files exist only on a combined master/media server
(Solaris 8 , 5.1MP5). 

Can anyone confirm that this two file must be created locally on every
new media server in order 

to take effect for that new media server or is it enough when they exist
only once on the master server for 

the whole NBU environment. 


I thank you for your efforts. 


kind regards 


Stefan
