Re: [Veritas-bu] Can't access policies from Java GUI
The issue is specifically that NOM causes the nbsl (NetBackup Service Layer) daemon to dump core (which, incidentally, it does in /, at least on HP-UX, which is just Swell). NetBackup can function normally for backups without nbsl running, but various pieces of the GUI interface can't work without it (polices as mentioned here, but also the robotic inventory dialog). The Java GUI's error message is, as you note, fairly worthless. The full-on Windows GUI is a bit better, suggesting that the NetBackup Service Layer Service (Service Layer Daemon) is down. As near as I can tell, there's no problem caused by simply starting nbsl back up again (just run /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbsl; it fork()/execv()s on its own, no need for a nohup or anything).

Re: [Veritas-bu] Vault licensing with 6.5
Generally you license the number of drives in the library that will be participating in Vaulting operations. The Base License gives you the Vault functionality plus 4 drives that can be used for vaulting purposes (in-line tape duplication, ejection, multiple catalog backups, etc.) Each additional drive requires an additional Vault Tape Drive license. The Unlimited License is just that, unlimited Vault Drives (but not Library-based Robotic Drives - you still need to license those separately). Here are some examples on how I believe this works (I'm still setting this up myself since my company just purchased Vault): If you had a single site, with a single library that has 4 drives in it. All you need is the Base License and you're done. Those 4 drives can be used for backup/restore functions and vault functions. If you had two sites, each with a library that had 2 drives in it. All you need is the base license since 2 drives in one site are handled by half the base license and the other 2 drives are handled by the other half. If you had multiple sites, each with multiple libraries, you could purchase the base license, then additional drive licenses to cover those drives that would get used for vault. So in my case, I have the base license + 2 additional drive licenses for one site, 2 more drive licenses for another site and 2 more for yet another site. This is independent of the robotic drive licenses which is 6 for one site, 4 for another (2 libraries) and 4 for another (2 libraries). Your best bet if you are still confused would be to talk to a Symantec Sales Rep. and they can walk you through what you would need licensing wise... but I think it's pretty straightforward once you understand that the base gives you 4 drives to use, and then you purchase additional drives beyond that.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Sharepoint (MOSS) 2007 Document Level Backups
Thanks I already have the EEB installed, but still have the issue with the NFS in the restore of a single document As I have told Symantec I think this agent is very untested/undocumented and shouldn't have had left the lab yet Michael 2008/10/6 SimonD [EMAIL PROTECTED] I posted the same question on the Symantec Forums, and was able to get some resolution to the problem. There is an EEB provided by Symantec Support, and this does indeed fix the issue (for me anyway). I haven't had a chance to try the restore yet (I'm waiting on my Sharepoint Admin), but I am able to browse the backups and drill down to a document level. To those of you trying to backup Sharepoint components would be wise to look at the bpresolver logs as this was key to me understanding the directives I could use, and the correct syntax for the filelist. The documentation is VERY poor in regards to MOSS 2007. To get all the information required, I initially backed up the whole sharepoint environment by using one of the front end servers, and the following directive, and then looking back through the log to find all the sub-component syntax: Microsoft SharePoint Resources:\* If the backup doesn't work with with above directive, then you have a permission/configuration issue somewhere. The ONLY directive you can use for document level backups is (example site is called Main, yours will surely differ!): Microsoft Sharepoint Resources:\Windows SharePoint Services Web Application\Sharepoint - Main\* NOTE: You can ONLY have one site per policy, which means you can't use ...\Sharepoint*\* for instance, to cut down on the number of policies. Michael, in answer to your question about NFS, it doesn't play a part in the backup process, only when you come to restore. From talking to support, I am under the impression that when a restore is initiated (providing you have backed up to disk), the NetBackup server will share the DSU using some arbitrary name, and then the client will mount that share up locally, and then basically extract the file(s) you need.

[Veritas-bu] Sharepoint (MOSS) 2007 Document Level Backups
I agree totally. It's been very poorly implemented/tested. Like I said I haven't got to the restore yet, so I couldn't say if it works yet. I'll let you know as soon as I've tested it. One thing I'd like to ask you. When you browse for backups via the BAR GUI on the client, can you see the Sharepoint objects/components to backup and can you drill down on them? I have a problem at the moment in that although I can backup the objects, I can't browse to back them up at the client level. It would be interesting to know if you had the same problem.

Re: [Veritas-bu] IMAGE DB Client List
I believe that it's explicitly what Daniel requested, and I can think of
several use cases for which you would want to know this, even if you didn't
have images in the catalog for those clients any longer. (Gone from the
catalog isn't the same as the tapes were destroyed or overwritten.)
In any case, ls -l /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images | awk '$2 3 { print $NF }'
should you the clients that still have images. (Field two in long-form ls(1)
output is number of links, NetBackup leaves either 2 or 3--depending on use--.
files around in those directories it doesn't remove.) Take that with a grain of
salt, I didn't check all that carefully. (maybe du -sk * | awk '$1 0 { print
$2 }' would be better.)

I also ran into this problem as well. It's been a while, but I believe that you have to have the fully qualified domain name of your NB master first in the hosts file.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Vault licensing with 6.5
Thanks Matt and /Ed. On Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 1:24 AM, Clausen, Matt R [EQ] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Generally you license the number of drives in the library that will be participating in Vaulting operations. The Base License gives you the Vault functionality plus 4 drives that can be used for vaulting purposes (in-line tape duplication, ejection, multiple catalog backups, etc.) Each additional drive requires an additional Vault Tape Drive license. The Unlimited License is just that, unlimited Vault Drives (but not Library-based Robotic Drives – you still need to license those separately). Here are some examples on how I believe this works (I'm still setting this up myself since my company just purchased Vault): If you had a single site, with a single library that has 4 drives in it. All you need is the Base License and you're done. Those 4 drives can be used for backup/restore functions and vault functions. If you had two sites, each with a library that had 2 drives in it. All you need is the base license since 2 drives in one site are handled by half the base license and the other 2 drives are handled by the other half. If you had multiple sites, each with multiple libraries, you could purchase the base license, then additional drive licenses to cover those drives that would get used for vault. So in my case, I have the base license + 2 additional drive licenses for one site, 2 more drive licenses for another site and 2 more for yet another site. This is independent of the robotic drive licenses which is 6 for one site, 4 for another (2 libraries) and 4 for another (2 libraries). Your best bet if you are still confused would be to talk to a Symantec Sales Rep. and they can walk you through what you would need licensing wise… but I think it's pretty straightforward once you understand that the base gives you 4 drives to use, and then you purchase additional drives beyond that.

[Veritas-bu] Backing up clustered virtual hostnames on SAN Media Servers with 6.5
Up to and including NBU 5.1, we backed up clustered applications on HP Serviceguard clusters, Sun clusters and even MS clusters using the same method. Each of the physical cluster nodes was an NBU SAN Media Server, with it's own storage unit(s), but we would also define a storage unit for each clustered application. These storage units would have the applications virtual hostname defined as their media server. The clustered application's backups would be use the virtual hostname as their client name, and would be directed to their virtual storage unit, which would utilise the Media Manager configuration of the underlying real Media Server. This meant if the application failed over to another node, the storage unit effectively failed over with it, meaning backups always ran locally on the media server, no matter which node the application was running on. Does anyone know if similiar functionality can be achieved with NBU 6.5? This cluster is actually Oracle 10 RAC running on unclustered Redhat 5, but the concept is similar to the other clusters in that the database I am backing up (using RMAN) uses a virtual hostname and could be active on any of the phyiscal nodes. Each of the physical nodes is a SAN Media Server. Simply adding a SERVER= entry for the virtual hostname does not work. I've tried using nbemmcmd -addhost to add the virtual hostname as a media server, which seems to work, however it appears as a disk only media server. The nbemmcmd -addalias looks interesting, but the alias name still needs to be tied to a physical server name. I need some way of defining a floating alias for a media server. I've also tried MUST_USE_LOCAL_DRIVE, and creating a storage unit with Any available as the media server. This works perfectly if I am backing up the physical server hostname, but if I am backing up the virtual hostname, it is not recognised as a media server with local tape and the backup is sent to some other storage unit. There must be some way to do this. I wonder if I am over thinking things and not seeing something incredibly obvious. Any ideas appreciated. - Dean ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
