Re: [Veritas-bu] Backups only writing to one storage unit group member
In our experience : DSSUs don't work in Storage Unit Groups at NBU 5.1 as NBU isn't clever enough to handle one unit being full and move onto another. Having said that, it shouldn't fail jobs when the DSSU is 100% full unless it hasn't found any old images which can be expired from disk (because they are on tape). So it sounds like maybe there is a problem with your staging jobs. I have had problems with staging jobs where there has been some kind of I/O error on the disk unit, which has caused the staging job to fail, but NBU has not recovered the job nor cancelled it, so another job never started (and the error wasn't picked up). I understand disk staging to be much improved in 6.5.1 so am hopeing to get upgraded in the next month or so. cheers, Phil -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Lowenstein Sent: 14 January 2008 19:05 To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backups only writing to one storage unit group member I'm on netbackup 5.1 mp4 on solaris.

Backups that point to these groups are only writing to the first member in the storage unit group, there's nothing being written to the second storage unit. The first storage unit is 100% full as a bunch of staging jobs haven't completed yet, but at least one backup so far has failed due to no space, even though the second member of the storage unit group is sitting there with plenty of space.

I'm not sure what you mean. Doesn't df show how full the DSSU is? Or do you mean how full as in what % remains to be staged to tape? I wrote my own disk staging script for NBU 4.5 which uses bpimmedia to list all details of all images in the DSSU then takes a minute or 2 to check the status of each, i.e. disk only / disk tape / various error statuses.

Without an inventory being run, NetBackup wouldn't know the tape was there so it shouldn't overwrite it.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU overwriting data on Tape
Even if you did update the inventory, if the tape has not been expired (images no longer valid) Netbackup will know about the data and not overwrite the tape. The only issue would be if you had a tape that had already expired, which you put into the library to restore from. You would have to do an import on the tape before you could restore from it, so in the timeframe between injecting the tape in the library, and doing the import, there is a small window during which Netbackup could overwrite the tape, assuming you did not write protect or freeze the cart. Sounds like a TSM zealot spreading FUD about NBU.

If you put a TSM tape in a library that is now controlled by NBU, then yes, NBU will overwrite it because it has no knowledge of the TSM database. Running an inventory isn't going to help in this situation, you will need to keep track of when TSM expires the tape so you can recycle it under NBU. If NBU put the data on tape, then no, it won't be overwritten until the retention period has expired. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 9:33 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU overwriting data on Tape Hi We are planning to move from TSM to NBU.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU overwriting data on Tape
I can confirm this action, as I've experienced it first hand. Where I've seen NBU find a difference between the inventory and the tape header is on a blind library (no barcode reader) or where a user has opened the door and physically manipulated tapes without updating the inventory. If you really want to eliminate the FUD overwrite problem, you need a tape library with a strain gauge on the picker arm, because we all know a full tape weighs more than an empty one. In addition to what everyone else said, if you put a tape in the robot and do not do an inventory in NetBackup, when NetBackup attempts to mount the tape that it THINKS is there, it will read the header of the tape and realize that the media-id on the header of the tape doesn't match what it thinks is in the library, so it will freeze that tape and not use it.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU overwriting data on Tape
In 2007, I received about 500 tapes written by Commvault Galaxy 5.9. I put new barcode stickers on the cartridge, loaded them in the tape library, inventoried them into the SCRTCH pool, and did not make any modifications to the media manager. It used them all without any complaints. Commvault writes their own tape format, which are not any of the known formats that netbackup will detect. I did the same thing with old AIT-1 ArcServe tapes, but did not get new barcode labels. -Jon I agree that this is the proper behavior, but I've never tested it with TSM tapes. I would put a TSM that you CAN delete in there and try to label it in NBU via bplabel without the -o option and see what happens.

[Veritas-bu] database consistency and Compression
Hi Gurus, Need help in doing Catalog Compression and database consistency check, I am working in an environment where we are running our master server on AIX with netbackup 6.0 MP4 and we have around 20 Media Servers(including 10 SAN Media Server) and more then 500 client , The environment is newly setup, so we have no schedule backup till now, we have a seperate team to manually initiate all the Clients backup and the backups runs continously without a free time in between. In the process of streamlining the environment, we daily cancel lots of running backups, and we always take the HOT catalog backup, there is also inconsistency in the database, because database clean up process doesnot run. So netbackup/db/images is increasing with a huge speed almost 5 Gb a day. We are also not compressing the catalog images. Now i want to manually initiate the Database Consistency check and schedule the catalog compression( my thinking is above both task requires no backup should be running at that time). Will Appreciate the help from all of you!!
