[Veritas-bu] Cross-Platform Remote Admin Console
Folks, We have just installed NBU 6.5.2 on Solaris 10 with a mix of Solaris 10 and Windows Server 2003 Media Servers. We have a temporary requirement to allow the Windows Media Servers to run the Admin Console with a Change Server to the Master Server. The only trouble is that the response is dreadful. The server itself is relatively powerful, DL380 G5, 2 x Quad Core 2.3GHz Intel Xeon processors, 16 GB RAM and 1 GB NIC. The usual network and performance indicators don't show an issue, but trying to load any information into the console from the EMM takes an age! Is there anything in particular needs to be tuned here?

[Veritas-bu] Status code 28 (failed trying to fork a process) NBU 6.5.1 on HP-UX 11.31
Our environment is Netbackup version 6.5.2; HP-UX 11.31 (11i v3). We have been getting intermittent status code 28 errors we have opened up a case with Symantec but haven't heard anything yet. We cycle NetBackup and things clear up for about a week and then we get the code 28's again. Anyone out there seen this problem? Thanks in advance..

[Veritas-bu] Vault question.
One of our Vault polices was in a hung state. I thought I accounted for all of the batches before I killed the job. After killing it, batch 22 of 43 completed, 0 of 10 images duplicated. Since I killed it, there is nothing in the failed.images file. The batch log in the sessions folder shows nothing. What is the easiest way to find out what images were not duped? Thanks. ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

I've got a few guesses that you can research: 1. Make sure reverse DNS is fully functional 2. Make sure that the admin console is in the master's bp.conf 3. Make sure that the admin console is in all of the other media servers' bp.conf (or registry as the case may be) 4. Make sure that if there any firewall rules open for your master to get to all of the media servers that the hole is also open for the admin console. .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA RHCE, BCFP, BCSD, SCSP, SCSE mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] If I've helped you, please make a donation to my favorite charity at http://firstgiving.com/edwilts ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] Directing Backups to dedicated drives
Hi, 1. I suggest you, that let master server handle robotic arm ( Robot Control Host ), NetBackup 6.5 need more resource than lower version. 2. Only NetBackup software will be install in Master server, so all resource will only for NetBackup software in Master Server. 3. You can use SSO to device drives for media server. 4. To define how many drives will be use for each media server, it's according to how big data in media server and how big loads through that media server from clients. 5. To determine how many drives for each media server, first you have to know how many clients will be backed up through that media server, and are there any other applications such as Oracle or SAP in that media server ?, see from media server resource side. rgds, Wong Utan - Original Message - From: "NBU" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, July 07, 2008 3:28 PM Subject: [Veritas-bu] Directing Backups to dedicated drives > > Hi Forum, > > I have a setup of netbackup 6.5.1 having 1 master server and 4 media > server with Storagetek SL500 Library having 16 drives. > > 1 media server is having robotic arm configured on it with 5 drives. > 2 media server is having 5 drives. > 3 media server is having 6 drives. > > My requirement is of directing few critical backups to dedicated drives > only assigned for these backup. > > Can anyone help me out in doing this in my backup environment. > > +-- > |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 > ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
[Veritas-bu] Solaris_x86 hardware class
Folks, Can someone explain how I add Solaris _x86_10 as an operating class in NetBackup 6.5? Do I have a separate client to install or is it simply a case of running the new_clients script? If the latter what is the syntax? I see the new_clients script in bin/goodies and the comments suggesting what values to use, basically, Existing H/W Class Existing OS Class New H/W Class New OS Class. However, from what I can tell the H/W Class remains Solaris and the OS Class becomes Solaris_x86_10. Do I uncomment the line New_CLient and supply the following values or am I missing something? I can find a working example!

[Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6.5.2 and NDMP Backups
After updating to 6.5.2 all my NDMP backup jobs were failing with status code 114. Looking at the job log I found this message path UNKNOWN. For some reason it looks like the ndmp agent is not sending the correct information about the backup path to Netbackup. Does anyone know how to correct this problem? +-- |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
Re: [Veritas-bu] Solaris_x86 hardware class
Paul, I believe you need to install the Solaris 10_x86 client software on the master server. This is one of the questions in the initial install script, where it asks if you want to install additional clients on this system. I usually install them all. Yes it wastes space, but then all the supported client classes are right there -- just in case. I have been unsuccessful in manually creating directories in /usr/openv/netbackup/client to trick NB into showing the client types in the policy. When you add the client software, this is one of the directories that are populated with client types and their supporting files. -Jon > Folks, > > > > Can someone explain how I add Solaris _x86_10 as an operating class in > NetBackup 6.5?

[Veritas-bu] Fun with EMM internals
Has anyone had the time to look around at the various binaries included with the internal ASA database in /usr/openv/db/bin ? In particular, I've been playing with dbunload and was wondering if there's anyone who knows something about ASA or Sybase who could explain why it dumps what look like a perfectly good reload.sql command file and associated files for the tables, but then refuses to reimport them into a clean EMM database (without erroring out. Lots of "Primary key for table 'EMM_AllocationStatus' is not unique" and such errors. And yes, I know support would laugh themselves silly if I tried calling this in. Just thought I'd see if anyone else is out there causing trouble and had any ideas. =) - John Nardello [ Obligatory CYA - No, I did NOT tell you to go play with those commands on your production NetBackup server. ] ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] Solaris_x86 hardware class
Jon, Thanks for the response. I released that I had only installed the Solaris (SPARC) client initially as I had not expected we would require Solaris_X86_10 at this time.
