[Veritas-bu] Reg: LTO3
Hi all, i have a query regarding netbackup. I have scheduled two backups ( both are incremental backup ) for a single server with time difference of 1 hour by mistake . But, only the first backup got triggered automatically, while the second schedule was not at all triggered. To my surprise, when i enabled multi-streaming , i saw both the schedules were triggered. Can someone explain why the second scheduled backup was not triggered with multi-streaming disabled. Cheers!!

Dear All can any one tell me how to make one alert policy for all policies in the master server at one time as i have 400 policy in my system ,so i think its not good to make one alert policy for every policy of them ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
[Veritas-bu] Change Media ID in Netbackup
Netbackup 5.0MP7 Solaris 9 master. I've realised Netbackup is using the last 6 chars of a barcode to generate media id's rather than the first 6 which i'd prefer. I know i can alter this for media introduced into the unit with MEDIA_ID_BARCODE_CHARS = 0 8 1:2:3:4:5:6 in vm.conf, BUT if i do that a media which is assigned to say Weekly_Full will then become scratch as Netbackup will think of it as a completely new media won't it? e.g Barcode BK0001L2 Current Media ID = 0001L2 vmquery -m 0001L2 shows media information vmquery -m BK0001L2 shows not present in database. If i take the tape out and add the vm.conf entry what will happen? Therefore is there a way to tell Netbackup change the media id you know from 0001L2 to BK0001L2 ??

[Veritas-bu] Change Media ID in Netbackup
You can do little changes like changing the tape type but changing the barcode will make you not be able to restore the data on the tapes as is. You can import the images on the tape after you change the tape barcodes but that is going to be one LONG process +-- |This was sent by steve.s...@compucom.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] Change Media ID in Netbackup
If the MediaID is already in the Volume Manager you should be good to go. Netbackup scans the barcode, sees that it is already assigned a MediaID and uses that. If you want to re-label the media to the new standard, you have to wait until the media is scratch, delete it from the volume manager and then put it back into a library and run an inventory. Be careful with mediaID errors. I.E. Netbackup writes the MediaID to the header, so if you change a media from 2-8 to 1-6 you need to run bplabel to re-write the header. -Jonathan -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Dave Markham Sent: Thursday, April 09, 2009 5:41 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Change Media ID in Netbackup Netbackup 5.0MP7 Solaris 9 master.

[Veritas-bu] Media servers on MSCS clusters
Good day I need a little clarification on some licensing. If I remember correctly the shared storage option and the openstorage option used to be both enclosed in one option, this being openstorage correct? I am reviewing how SAN media servers might be installed into a clustered environment. Specifically the Enhanced media server configuration. On Page 115-116 of the high availability guide. ftp://exftpp.symantec.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_Enterprise_Serv er/290237.pdf The last bullet in the installation prerequisites state that the openstorage option is require for backup to tape. This would use the shared storage option for tape would it not? This would make more sense to me if this is a typo left over from old documentation. The usage here is to have a san media server not being failed over ( stand alone) on both nodes of a mscs cluster but running the backup policy via the cluster virtual name, the tape drives and disk Storage units would also be mapped to this Virtual name. Has anyone used a configuration such as this? What are people's opinions on backing up (multi TB) clustered environments? Any insight would be greatly appreciated Thanks SSS Sean Spellacy Senior Technical Analyst, IMIT, Backup and AntiVirus Vancouver Island Health Authority ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] cannot add new tapes into volume in media server
You should NEVER have more than one volDB in ANY version of NBU - that's asking for problems. Up to version 5.1, each media server has its own device database (robotic_def and ltidevs) as well as own mediaDB but only one volDB for entire environment (usually on Master). Although it is possible to have more than one volDB, Symantec recommends one only. See the topic called 'Volume Database Host' in the Media Manager Admin Guide: There should be only one volume database host per global device database host (see Global Device Database Host on page 8), and both of these key databases should be located on the same server. This server is known as the Media and Device Management Domain (MDM Domain) server. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of footsoldier Sent: 09 April 2009 02:05 To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] cannot add new tapes into volume in media server hi Patrick, no problem, thks for helping, if i got chance i will ask that consultant why my volume database got corrupted, but my domain design isn't orthodox enough to begin with, i have 1 master and 1 media in the same domain each with it's own volume database, the media one got corrupted while the master has no problems.

So, anyone ever do this? Install your NBU master onto an NFS share for /usr/openv? I'm looking to do this with v6.5.3 and was curious if anyone else has tried it.

It would be from a NAS array and if that tanks then I've got bigger problems. But that's what replication to a different array is for.
