[Veritas-bu] kbytes (fragment size) missing for backup jobs

2007-06-12 Thread balasivamani

I have been trying to parse  and get the information of Backup jobs from 
bperror command's output. Generally the backed up amount(or fragment size) and  
throughput details are extracted from the line containsbptm successfully 
wrote string. But this line is missing for some successful backed up amount 
jobs. For same job even from bpdpjobs output backedup amount data is missing.i 
have attached the sample job output below. Can you tell me what kind of backup 
jobs are these and is there any way to get the backed up amount(or fragment 
size)  details?


Thanks in Advance.

[Veritas-bu] NBU 6 Tuning for Small Files Backup

2007-06-12 Thread Khurram Tariq

Hi All,

We have just migrated to a NBU 6 SAN based environment. We have a server
with a large number of small files (100k to 4MB) and its performing quite
poorly on SAN based backup (5MB per stream). Can anyone advise some tuning
parameters to  improve this speed? The library is L500 with FC LTO3 drives.

Regards,
Khurram

hi,
 
If the problem is when netbackup stat a directory, there is a module on
netbackup named : Flashbackup
 
this module is able to save a raw device but you can restore single files.

Re: [Veritas-bu] [ORACLE] Net Service Name (TNS Alias) ...

Hi all,

Certain behavior in NB6.0-MP4 is confusing me and I really want to know
conceptually if I have the following correct.

What I thought was meant to happen:

  * Within the NB GUI I am at the point of connecting to the required DBs.
  * I am to login with an account that has SYSDBA privs
  * I am to provide a TNS alias name

  Now, my issue is with respect to the TNS alias name. I was always under 
the
  impression that the TNS alias name is derived directly from where it is
  defined. In my case: $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora

  e.g. #grep HOST $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora
   (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 
myoracleclient.dsto.defence.gov.au)(PORT = 1521))

However, if I use myoracleclient.dsto.defence.gov.au as the TNS Alias in 
the NB
GUI, it just plain old does not work. And I will get an error stating:

   ERR - Unable to connect to mydb
Error code 12514

However, if I use 1 out of the 4 $ORACLE_SID names it works!

I am starting to suspect I should be getting the TNS Alias as such:

 #grep SERVICE_NAME $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora

  (SERVICE_NAME = db1.dsto.defence.gov.au)
  (SERVICE_NAME = db2.dsto.defence.gov.au)
  (SERVICE_NAME = db3.dsto.defence.gov.au)
  (SERVICE_NAME = db4.dsto.defence.gov.au)

So in the end I have it working, but I really want to know conceptually 
where I
am meant to derive the TNS Alias from ? Anyone ?

Cheers

Re: [Veritas-bu] Spam: NBU 6 Tuning for Small Files Backup

2007-06-12 Thread Wilkinson, Tim
Khurram,
 
Flashbackup will improve the performance (it caches the data as a sort
of snapshot then backs-up the snapshot so it's like a large file rather
than loads of small ones, or something like that) but because it
works per volume, you need the space for the cache, which is at least
the same size as the volume you are backing-up.
 
It will improve performance for loads of small files but probably won't
help too much if they are on a huge volume and they take up a small % of
the space.
 
Cheers,
 
Tim

Thanks. I've not used Flashbackup before so I'll have to read about it. The
utilization of the file systems I want to backup goes up and down
drastically (in a day) but it still worth giving it a shot. Is there a
separately licensed feature?
