Re: [Veritas-bu] 5.1 Oct 2007 End of Support - UPDATED

[WEAVER, Simon (external)]

Guys
I am going to receive 100% clarification on this matter!
 
What is absolutely certain is the link / pdf may NOT be a true
representation of the current life cycle of 5.1 - remember, this PDF refers
to 6.0 only.
 
No mention of 6.5!
 
Also, PDF was created 15th Sep 05!
 
Will provide the list with more details later today.

There's no way that 10/2007 makes sense for EOL of 5.1. Assuming, and this
is a big assumption, given Veritas'/Symantec's history regarding making
their release dates with NBU, that 6.5 is released by then, given the
initial problems with upgrading from 5.x -> 6.x, they're not going to pull
the rug out of 5.1 just yet. If I'm wrong, that's going to be pretty sad.

Well think about it . Most companies announce end of life for a product

Right.  Restores don't use a storage unit the way that backups do.  You
just need to make sure that at least one drive is unused.  If you only
have one STU used by backups, then you did that when you decremented the
drive count.

(If you have multiple STUs on the robot with SSO, then this is harder).

I have a restore request that requires a dozen tapes to satisfy and the job 
failed with a media mount timeout and while nightly backups were running.

 

I'd like to dedicate a tape drive for this restore job so I decremented the 
number of tape drives in my storage unit by one and then created a new storage 
unit with one drive in it.

 

But I'm not sure that I've solved my problem since I can't direct the restore

Just to let you know how I handle things with our Notes Servers. The shop I 
work in has 10 Mail servers & 4 Apps servers.  I do fulls monthly, weekly 
cumulative & daily diffs w/trans logs being backed up as well.  We do the 
backup as a MS-Windows-MT.  

We have not had a problem with speed since the files are backed up this way.  
The Notes Agent killed the backup time in the test environment that is why we 
use MS-Windows-MT.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 5.x catalog format compatible between Linux and Solaris?

[Rongsheng Fang]

Great! I will be migrating from Linux to Solaris.

Those .f files under /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images and 
/usr/openv/volmgr/database are binary files. Are they compatible between 
Linux and Solaris? When you do the migratoin, did you just copy them 
over from AIX (or HPUX) to Linux and NetBackup can use them without any 
tweaks?

Thanks,

Rongsheng

[Veritas-bu] 6.5 Notes

[Martin, Jonathan]

Did anyone keep a copy of the 6.5 Beta Release Notes that were posted
here a month or more ago?  I have the original email but the link
doesn't work any more.  I thought I made a local copy but can't seem to
find it.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 5.x catalog format compatible between Linux and Solaris?

[smpt]

I've done AIX to Linux  and  HPUX to linux.
I don't see why you can't do a solaris to linux, as netbackup databases (for 
netbackup up to 5.x) is flat files.

The only think you cant done is windows to linux (maybe with unix2dos)

[Veritas-bu] locked/busy file action for windows clients

[Adeday]

How can I set the locked/file action for windows clients? I can set that for 
unix clients from the master server but I don't see the same option for the 
windows clients.

I am using NBU 5.1 Master/media.

Thanks

Re: [Veritas-bu] Starting an Archive backup from a policy [NC]

[misha . pavlov]

Maybe I am missing something, but I do not see the reason to use User 
Archive in this case ( files copy to central archive succeded or failed ). 

User Backups are always level 0 anyway and the jobs are logged in / 
tracked in Admin Console GUI as well, so they can be even restarted in 
case any problems with tape drives or such.

If the script to copy the files is running on the same server, where the 
files to be archived are, then I'd say the best way would be to have the 
same script to initiate the "User Backup" ( 
${NBUHOME}/netbackup/bin/bpbackup ).

, so ... 
1. copy files
2. backup up
3. clean up / delete
4. send customized mail notification / alarms

Seems pretty straight forward to me.

I do User Backups to backup databases dumps for Autosys initiated jobs as 
well as for SAs to do an offsite backup of the server we are about to 
decommission.
I wrote a quick shell wrapper to manage master server, log files location, 
files / dirs selection and it works like a charm.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Starting an Archive backup from a policy






This is just one folder I'm talking about here.  This folder simply has 
files that are recordings of every single phone call and cust service 
rep's computer screen while that phone call was happening.  Were talking 
about 100gigs per day and these people want to be able to go back a year!

So what we are doing is setting up a script to copy certain files (the 
ones that are over 24 hours old) and move them into this folder which will 
then be archived by netbackup.  Problem we have is if the folder is NOT 
archived (i.e. the script fails or doesn't run for whatever reason and we 
are not notified about it) and we don't catch it right away that drive 
will fill up quickly.  This is really my only option as no one wants to 
throw any more money into this project.  Luckily I have a ton of tapes.

My main question was that I wasn't sure if there was an alternative to 
USER Archive Backups.  It seems like a logical option to be able to have 
server directed archived backups in NB, I just figured I couldn't find 
where to do it.
Our big concern is that if the scheduled task doesn't run (which has 
happened and a server went without backups for 2 months) we would never 
know about it unless everyday we checked for a successful backup of the 
client initiated backups.

no, no, NO.  User Archive backups can be run only from the client system
for a reason.  You want the USER to be the one to shoot themselves in
the foot, not you.  User Archives are bad news, ESPECIALLY scripted
ones.  All it takes is one filelist entry to be wrong and your whole
client system is GONE (backed up, but gone regardless).

So, unless you are the admin of that client system, do not go near it.
A better option is to understand what you are trying to accomplish and
see if there is a better (safer) way to do it.  Archive jobs are not
really intended to be used as a space-saving technique, they should be
used to Archive data (Take static data that is logically related and
store it off the system).  That is not the same thing.

Having said all that, of course there are ways to do it (bpstart_notify
on the client for one) but you should really re-evaluate your needs.

I don't believe that customers are being placed between
a rock and a hard place - 6.0 MP4 is a stable release that works today.
I have not heard of any show-stopper bugs in 6.0 that would prevent
anybody from upgrading.  You may need an engineering fix or two, and
perhaps MP5 will include those, but in general, the current release
works for just about everybody.

If you really feel that 5.1MP4 is rock solid, and there
are no issues, why are you concerned with Symantec continuing to support
it?  You don't *have* to upgrade - just don't log a call and expect it
to get fixed.  If you have no issues, you'll have no calls to log and it
won't matter if it's supported or not.  I've got a non-Symantec product
running that we last logged a call on in 2000 (and our license agreement
says that we have to keep it under support as long as we're running it).

I also believe 5.1 MP4+ is the most rock solid product
I've run (less DSSU issues) and would prefer to stay on that version and
not be forced between choosing either 6.0 MP4+ or 6.5 GA

I would suggest for those in the group who are also
wanting to wait for 6.5 MP1+ to contact their Veritas/Symantec
SE/Account Mgr's and let them know as a customer you're being placed
between a rock and a hard place in terms of migration choices.

 

In talking with my former RTAM and current local
Symantec SE, I'm starting to hear they maybe considering the Oct 2007
date as a "soft" and not a hard date.

[WEAVER, Simon (external)]

Ok its just that the Nt clients run 3.4 still - they cannot be upgraded to
the latest IE version as some applications don't function with the latest
IE!

So effectively, until Nt has gone... We will remain on 5.1 - Because im sure
that (as you said) 6.0 will not work on clients under 5.1 or lower (3.4, 4.5
ect)

Simon,
 
Your answer is Yes and No.  
Yes: 6.0 can backup up NT4 if it has a 5.1 client on it.  
No: 6.0 has no NT4 client

 
I still have 3 NT4.0 machines I backup every night with NBU 6.0 MP4. The
client on them is 5.1.

I don't believe that customers are being placed between
a rock and a hard place - 6.0 MP4 is a stable release that works today. I
have not heard of any show-stopper bugs in 6.0 that would prevent anybody
from upgrading.  You may need an engineering fix or two, and perhaps MP5
will include those, but in general, the current release works for just about
everybody.

If you really feel that 5.1MP4 is rock solid, and there
are no issues, why are you concerned with Symantec continuing to support it?
You don't *have* to upgrade - just don't log a call and expect it to get
fixed.  If you have no issues, you'll have no calls to log and it won't
matter if it's supported or not.  I've got a non-Symantec product running
that we last logged a call on in 2000 (and our license agreement says that
we have to keep it under support as long as we're running it).

Netbackup server configuration should be-

to restict clients for alternate restore to specific clients -

no, no, NO.  User Archive backups can be run only from the client system
for a reason.  You want the USER to be the one to shoot themselves in
the foot, not you.  User Archives are bad news, ESPECIALLY scripted
ones.  All it takes is one filelist entry to be wrong and your whole
client system is GONE (backed up, but gone regardless).

So, unless you are the admin of that client system, do not go near it.
A better option is to understand what you are trying to accomplish and
see if there is a better (safer) way to do it.  Archive jobs are not
really intended to be used as a space-saving technique, they should be
used to Archive data (Take static data that is logically related and
store it off the system).  That is not the same thing.

Having said all that, of course there are ways to do it (bpstart_notify
on the client for one) but you should really re-evaluate your needs.

Did you make the modification son the Netbackup Master server, for an alternate 
(destsination) client to see the Source client. There is and altnames directory 
created on the master server.

Name of file being the destination machine name
Contents of the file: hostname of the source machine

There's also a keyword which you can touch in the /usr/openv/netbackup/?
directory to remove any restore restrictions.

All this is documented in Netbackup documentation.

Hope this helps.

It's not really an answer to your question :-O but Advanced Client

I couldn't agree with this more.  We had a couple commands that we
allowed certain users to sudo to that were READ ONLY tools, like
bppllist.  I don't even like our operators having access to the Activity

[Veritas-bu] NBU 5.x catalog format compatible between Linux and Solaris?

[Rongsheng Fang]

Hi,

Is the catalog format compatible between Linux and Solaris if both are 
running the same version of NetBackup Enterprise Server 5.x? I asked 
this question on this list before and got a couple of positive replies 
that said it was. Then I logged a case with Symantec support last week 
and asked about the Linux to Solaris migration. Here is what I got back 
from them:

"NetBackup catalog and database format is not compatible between Linux 
and Solaris even if both are running the same version of NetBackup 5.x."

Would somebody from Symantec or anybody who has done the migration from 
Linux to Solaris (or any other Unix platforms) kindly chime in and share 
your experience on this?

Thanks,

Rongsheng

[Veritas-bu] blib and exclude lists

[Whelan, Patrick]

Does anyone have a definitive answer as to whether blib backups will
read or not exclude lists? I have looked through the admin, advanced
client and oracle agent manuals with not success.

[Veritas-bu] Starting an Archive backup from a policy

[Schneider, Matthew J.]

Hello,

I'm trying to setup a policy to start an Archived backup from the media server 
instead of from the client.  In other words I would rather not use a script to 
start an archived backup from the client in the case the scheduled task or 
script fails, I would not find out about in the Activity Monitor.

We are running NB6.0 MP4, Solaris 9 master/media and this particular client is 
a windows 2003 box.  Thanks!

Regards,

Matthew J. Schneider

[Veritas-bu] Qlogic HBA failover in SUSE

[Hampus Lind]

Hi all,

 

I am trying to setup HBA failover on my SELS 9 master and media servers, but
I find little info on this on the web. Anyone on this list doing SAN disk
failover in SLES 9 environments? If so, how have you set this up?

 

I use Qlogic HBA, and run LVM2 on top.

 

Thanks and regards,

I like my solution too (biased maybe!) - but seriously, I am not a fan of
BLB - my first steps, would be to ask why you need them, and for what
reasons the Exchange Admin cannot configure Ex2k3 to do the same job, within
its own application!

I'm liking Simon's solution as a first step

200 GB * 1024 = 204800 MB
204800 MB/3600 sec = 5.6 MB/sec

Assuming a 100 Mbit/sec LAN, and giving you the benefit of the doubt on the
bits per byte and protocol efficiency calculations, the best you can hope
for is 10 Mbytes/sec over the LAN, and you are getting 56% of that. Factor
in the inherent slowness of brick-level backup (getting away from this is
another good recommendation), think time on the client, bandwidth contention
(applications if you are using the corporate LAN, and other backup traffic
on a backup LAN), and your rates do not seem unusual.

Back in the day when backup was my life, 200 GB was a fairly common
architectural threshold for SAN attaching a server for backup instead of
going over the net.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Exchange agent question

[WEAVER, Simon (external)]

Dave
You do not specify the version of NBU or even Exchange you are running. But
there is an Exchange Admin for NetBackup Administrators guide available to
do this task.
 
Although I do not do BLB, providing your backup account has access to
Exchange, it should be a case of launching the Backup archive, restore tool,
selecting the Exchange Backup Policy type and the exchange server where the
mailbox resides.
 
>From there, you will get a tree structure, and should find the mailbox in
question.
 
then I guess you restore.
