Re: [Veritas-bu] Disk Storage Unit - Maximum concurrent jobs setting (runs one job at a time)
Steve, Thank you for your answer. I do have Allow multiple data streams set to Yes for every class. As far as I understand - this setting affects NetBackup's ability to slice the backup for a single client into several jobs. I was looking for a way to backup several clients simultaneously. In the past I was able to run backups for 2 clients to the same tape (even with Allow multiple data streams set to No).

Re: [Veritas-bu] Master Server on a SUN Thumper?
Just as an asside, how many people are building Master servers on SATA? Thumper is a big box of SATA. Whats the performance of NBU 6.5 on SATA anyway?

After doing a bit more digging, I have learned that a SUN Thumper works well as a media server. Our local SUN office was able to provide some documentation outlining the process. They said the PDFs are distributable so if you can't find them via SUN, I've made them available for anyone to get from: http://www.sfu.ca/~bryer/x4500/ I don't see anything in the documents to explain the rationale behind requiring a separate master server. Of course two issues have been brought up here (BMR and the database performance). The documents show a stock Thumper (with RaidZ) being able to push 350MB/s. With mirrored pairs and additional network (or 10GbE) up to 550MB/s can be achieved. This is with Update 4 (8/07) of Solaris 10. I still would like to see a Thumper used as a master server assuming of course that BMR isn't needed. -- Jeff Bryer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems Administrator (778) 782-4935 IT Infrastructure, Simon Fraser University ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Sorry about that...misread the question. Here is something_that_might_help. 3.4 is along time ago, and I have not worked with Class Storage Unit, but you could try this. http://www.pcs-computing.com/support/nb_bpclinfo.html bpclinfo has a max jobs per class setting. Not sure if bpclinfo is on 3.4 or not? It doesn't appear to be in 6.5 (which is what I am running), so maybe it is an old command going back to 3.4?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Master Server on a SUN Thumper?
Actually we have some quite large (2TB+) Oracle Test/Trng databases using ATA drives in a Clariion CX700 arrays and get decent performance out of those. Of course that is hardware RAID. Not sure what the SUN Thumper uses. The database on NBU is relatively small by comparison though at the moment we do still have ours on EMC Symmetrix (DMX3) but that is more for the warm fuzzy we get from Symmetrix reliability.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Disk Storage Unit - Maximum concurrent jobs setting (runs one job at a time)
Mark,Carl, Thanks a lot. I didn't bounce the daemons (the backups were running and still running now) after bumping up the Maximum concurrent jobs as I hoped that change would take immediately. I will restart and let you know. I hope that this is the fix. I am trying to backup several clients simultaneously, so Maximum Jobs per client should not be critical for me.

[Veritas-bu] Netbackup 8X errors
Question regarding Netbackup 8X errors. Is it acceptable to get 8X errors? Is there an acceptable number before we should start to get concerned? We had a high number of 8X errors and resolved most of them. (the bulk was from a bad tape drive). Now when we come across any 8X errors we would do a long erase on the media and put it back into the scratch pool. This has corrected some of the 8X errors as well but not all of them. Anyone have any other Ideas or suggestions on this issue? ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Some are caused by tape drives and some are caused by communication issues between the host and the tape drive. If the bulk of your errors were caused by a bad tape drive, why are you doing a long erase on your media? How do you really know it corrected anything at all? If the tape media wasn't the issue in the first place, it certainly won't fix anything. And if it did fix anything, you've got flaky media and it should be destroyed - doing more I/O on the media won't make things better.

[Veritas-bu] Status 1's and exclude lists (was Top 20 (or so) misunderstood things about NBU)
I think that Jeff has the right idea here. Building an exclude list for things that cause a status 1 can be very helpful to you if you are in a S-OX environment. I guess I'd have to modify my review it once and ignore them after that... position. If you review the status 1's on a regular basis and check with the application owners to ensure that the files are NOT critical to a restore of the application (like some error log files or such) and place these files into the exclude list, then you are covered. This will switch the system getting status 1's to status zero. That way IF things change (like someone adding a new application or the application starts to behave differently, you will notice it because you start seeing status 1's. Definitely agree with having an exclude list for the database stuff if you are handling the database backups separately as a special form of backup. -stuart From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Lightner Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 6:13 AM To: Weber, Philip; VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Top 20 (or so) misunderstood things about NBU I'll have to disagree with the idea of not using exclude lists. A couple of reasons to use them: 1) Separate OS and application/database backups. You do not want to have a policy that backs up from / on a system that has GBs or TBs of database on it when you have a separate policy for the database backups. In multi-tier environments it is even more important that you backup the DB from one server along with middle tier or other levels from other servers as part of an environment backup rather than a server backup. 2) Not having excluded the known items that can't be backed up (e.g. /proc on Linux, door files on Solaris) you have no idea whether the status 1 you just got was only for those known items or for other items that WERE critical to you ability to recover. In at least one Federally regulated industry I was expected to explain every file that caused a status 1. If I did that in the official backup documentation (required by those same regulations) I could put it in the exclude lists and NOT have to explain it each day. For those of us that know and love S-OX this might be a good pre-emptive measure for overzealous S-OX audits. -- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
