Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup on RedHat Entr. or windows server 2003?
I am upgrading our backup system and cannot decide between running Netbackup on RedHat enterprise or Windows Server 2003. I am new to NBU, so I am no t sure if there is a difference running the software on those two. Any suggestions on performance, limitations, problems or ease of maintenance NBU on either of them would be appreciated. We have a fair bit of Linux and Windows in our environment. A key point for us is that Linux is *MUCH*MUCH* easier to recover from any sort of backups than Windows, especially if you don't have identical hardware to recover on. Remember that, in a disaster-recovery situation, one of the first things you'll need recovered is your master server. - Bluejay Adametz Definition: Expresshole n.

[Veritas-bu] nbcc error on nbu 5 to 6 upgrade
Guys i'm doing an upgrade and have an error when running nbcc. Solaris 8 on sparc going from nbu 5.0 to 6.0mp4 The error is :- CONSISTENCY_ERROR Oper_16_4 on the media db pass (2 of 3) I have found this from googling and its going to be difficult to get a case opened quickly (due to work politics) so i'm wondering if anyone has any experience remedy advise? - Media DB Integrity Operational Checks: Oper_16_4 - Occurs during the checking of the Media DB. This inconsistency code indicates that the media ID is assigned in the Volume DB, that there are no images in the Image DB and that the media has not already been targeted to be FROZEN.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Media server installation
Yes, you can do this and you don't need any special licensing to do so. Very simple, just attach the 4 new drives to your new media server (SAN or direct SCSI, it doesn't matter) and configure Netbackup to know that the robotic control host is one of the original media servers. This configuration can be done via the device wizard in the admin console or via tpconfig on the new media server. That's it, nothing more to do.

If you read it correctly, you're right and my answer was wrong. We need to know *which* media server those 4 new drives are physically connected to.

Hi! I had a similar inconsistency result, this is the reply from support: There are several reasons for these tapes to be listed, the most common of these is that when you ran the consistency checker the tapes were waiting to be deassigned during the next catalog cleanup process, as there are not a large number of tapes I am thinking that this is probably the case. If this is indeed the case, then there should be no problem with performing the upgrade. I then ran a: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpmedialist media.txt sent the media.txt back to them and he replied after about an hour that it was OK and that we were safe to upgrade.
