Re: [Veritas-bu] Hardware Recommendations for new setup
Will it be a master/media, or just a media with the Master at your Main site? Makes a bit of a diff, since a Master will have much more IO to the local catalog. With that much data, I would have no problem going with the T2000 with the 4 disks. Create a RAID10 RG, and cut it up into slices for OS and NBU. With striped mirrors, you should have any IO issues. You could probably make due with two separate RAID1 RGs, once for OS and one for /opt/openv/. The V240 has MORE than ample PCI IO for that amount of data, but if the T2000 is cheaper, I'd go that way. If/when you eventually need more performance for the catalog, you can put it on FC-SAN disk, or an external FC array.

Re: [Veritas-bu] host name changes
If issue is just a new host on old IP you should be able to add a new record to DNS (or /etc/hosts) that points the name to the new IP. NetBackup doesn't store IPs - it does a lookup by name. In DNS you can use PTR records to associate alternate names to existing hosts. In /etc/hosts you can just add the alternate name as an alias on the same line where you define the real name. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Justin Piszcz Sent: Monday, May 07, 2007 12:28 PM To: Shashi Kanth Boddula Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] host name changes Ouch.

[Veritas-bu] Re: Tuning Solaris 10 for NetBackup Media Server
The four onboard NICs as well as an extra 2-port NIC we installed are all GLDv3 devices. So, they take advantage of the new dladm command to do link aggregation. We had the networking guys configure the 6 ports on the Cisco switch (LACP protocol) and then we did the aggregation as follows: dladm create-aggr -P L2 -l active -d e1000g0 -d e1000g1 -d e1000g2 -d e1000g3 -d e1000g4 -d e1000g5 18 ifconfig aggr18 plumb nvsun14 up One would only use Sun trunking if the NICs or software could not take advantage of the new GLDv3 stack. In particular, we found that the ce (Cassini NIC) devices will never take advantage to of the dladm aggregation. Their performance is also much poorer because they bury the CPU. So stay away from them. But dladm rocks! ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Re: [Veritas-bu] Hardware Recommendations for new setup
Actually, I have noticed that most internal RAID controllers tend to be pretty brain dead when it comes to RAID-10 (actually RAID 0+1), doing a round-robin read down both paths which results in *slower* I/O than a single disk (in a 4-disk RAID-10 anyway). I actually did a head-to-head comparison, and with 4 disks, RAID-5 is faster than RAID-10 on most controllers. The only exception is large, sequential writes (cache handles everything else), and with something like the NBU catalog, your large I/Os are reads which are always faster on RAID-5 anyway, given the same number of disks. So, for my backup master, I have six internal drives. The first two are a mirror (RAID-1) for OS. Note: DON'T put swap on RAID-5. ...and the last four are a RAID-5 for catalog.

The only methods that I know of are to do the encrypting in hardware. You can use an external box inserted between the NDMP device and the tape drive.

[Veritas-bu] Backing Up Network Drives in Win2003
Due to some problems with the NDMP implementation in our NAS head I'm forced (temporarily I hope) to back up NAS volumes by mounting them on a server and creating a policy that allows metwork drives to be backed up. On UNIX this works just fine, NFS mount the volumes, set up the policy and watch it run. However on Windows it's not so easy. The Windows guy I work with (who is very, very sharp) has mapped two of the NAS volumes to drive letters on a Win2003 host. I've tried backing this thing up and every time I do I get type 71 errors (none of the files in the list exist). I've tried backing up using both the mapped drive letters and the UNC path and every attempt has failed. A bpdir -M from the command line of my master server does not show the drive letters of the mapped network drives. I don't know if this is relevant or not. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
