[Veritas-bu] RESOLVED: Each stream uses different tape for RMAN 1-channel backup
I finally resolved this issue and the cause was something I never would have suspected. It turned out that my tape drives were flagged as "needs cleaning", which apparently causes NBU to unload a tape immediately after a stream is written and ignore any type of normal unmount waiting period. I reset the mount time on my drives to clear the flag, and suddenly the same backup job used one tape.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Media Tracking -
We've used Vertices with the Netbackup automation agent for about 6 months now. We only have around 6000 media. Overall we've been happy with the product. It was very helpful to have at audit time. The company is responsive and the problems we've encountered have been fixed quickly. We did some custom post processing and simple bat scripts to further automate things to meet our needs. I'm hopeful the new web version will reduce some of the customization needs but we haven't started playing with that version yet. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of rvadde Sent: Monday, June 16, 2008 5:07 PM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media Tracking - This thread is to get a feeling of what others are using for tracking their media.

[Veritas-bu] NB 5.1 mp7 scheduled jobs does not starts
I don't know if your jobs ever went active or not. Typically if bpsched is not scheduling jobs - something (obviously) caused it to stop responding. Things that may be the cause: 1.CLIENT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT's being set to more then the default of 300 seconds (check the bp.conf file). * If that is the root cause - grep the bpsched log for "timeout " (note the space on the end - if you do not include a space in the search you will get tons of queue timeout messages). 2. Insufficient message queue space. * Check the bpsched log for messages about "suspending process", "queue full" and "defer/undefer" messages. Those are indications that message queue space is not adequate and should be increased. (this applies to Unix of course) 3. A corrupt bpsched.d worklist file. (in netbackup/bin/bpsched.d). * If you have checked for items 1 and 2 - then it's best to stop nbu, and cleanup the worklist files in that directory and then restart (this includes the drive worklist files). Oh - and you can increase logging on the fly for bpsched for version 5.1 (not sure which patch version this started at) - but run: netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpschedreq -verbose # # is the verbosity level. Hope that helps. +-- |This was sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [EMAIL PROTECTED] +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Many of the notifications are generated by notify scripts that live
somewhere
under /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/. The originals are in the "goodies/"
subdir,
and are intended to be customized as needed. On Solaris, you would need
to
add "-r [EMAIL PROTECTED]" to the "mailx" command used to generate the message,
e.g. in mail_bp_reports.
> If not, can it be done with sendmail on Solaris? :)
That's a sendmail question, but you may be in need of enabling some form
of sender masquerading. On Solaris, look in /usr/lib/mail/README for some
flags you can set in /usr/lib/mail/cf/sendmail.mc and then regen
sendmail.cf
based on those settings.

Marion
