Re: [Veritas-bu] 6.5.4 Remote Java Admin probs

[Rusty.Major]

Dave,

I can't tell you how glad I am to see someone else with this issue.

Since 6.x, we've had some really strange issues with the Java GUI that 
we've chalked up mostly to version differences througout our environment 
(we managed quite a few different NBU domains geographically dispersed). 
We upgraded an environment to 6.5.3 a couple of weeks ago and subsequently 
upgraded the remote windows Java GUI to 6.5.3 (from 6.5.0) and now it will 
not work at all on this freshly upgraded site, as well as another site. 
The remaining sites all work just fine. Keep in mind that we have changed 
nothing else and suddenly this site and another (that was working great 
before) are not working with the java gui.

The login screen works fine and I can see comments about it building 
panels and whatnot and then it switches to the Admin Console view and it's 
completely blank. I get nothing.

I have a case open and I've done lots of DNS/bpclntcmd troubleshooting and 
sent all kinds of logs, even from a working server so they can compare 
them and they still haven't found anything. Again, nothing changed except 
the patch to 6.5.3 for one Master and the Java GUI and it immediately 
broke something for at least two environments. I have not yet uninstalled 
the Java GUI 6.5.3 patch to get at least some functionality back, but then 
we can't get to some panels at all at that level.

As soon as I can get about an hour free, I'm going to do a snoop on the 
working server and non-working server and dig in to that.

I've never been a big fan of the 6.x java gui as it has been super flaky. 
My kingdom for a web interface.

[Veritas-bu] 6.5.4 Remote Java Admin probs






Guys i recently upgraded from Nbu 5.0MP7 to NBU6.5 on Solaris 10 Master.

All went well.

We access the infrastructure through a windows terminal server which i 
installed the Java Admin console on. Again everything fine.

I updated to 6.5.4 on the master and all was good.
I updated to 6.5.4 on the windows java and now the gui is just behaving 
strangely.

Once logged in I can't seem to get any panes to get data and it just 
sits there with the clock spinning for some time.

I'm a bit confused as to where to look for problems. I'm not doing any 
authentication fanciness or anything i'm just logging in as root using 
the console.  It was all perfect at 6.5 base though.

Anyone seen this at all?
Cheers

We noticed that on the "new" unix clients as well. They've added an rc 
script (nbclient) for BMR and the san client.

I got clients that are SAN Attached client, but NetBackup is starting a Service

Service is called "NetBackup SAN Client Fibre Transport Service"
It does not start, but I do not need it!

Any reason why it cannot be set to manual?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Storage Unit Rules for Wizard

I'm not sure where this information is kept for UNIX, but if you hit the
Storage Configuration Wizard in Windows there is a "Configure Drive Name

[Veritas-bu] Udev rules for Linux distros prior to 5.3...

[Jonathan Dyck]

Linux gurus,

I'm flailing away here trying to get some udev rules in place on RedHat
release 4, Nahant Update 5. I'm basically trying to accomplish this:

http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-4202

But with an earlier version of RedHat.  Anyone have experience with udev
rules out there?  I've posted prior to this with very few bites, but
there doesn't seem to be a lot of admins out there creating these (I'm
guessing people just recreate their device database after every
reboot?).

Here are the rules I've created:

[root@<> ~]# more /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
KERNEL="nst[0-9]*", SYSFS{dev}="9:128", NAME="nst100"
KERNEL="nst[0-9]*", SYSFS{dev}="9:224", NAME="nst100a"
KERNEL="nst[0-9]*", SYSFS{dev}="9:160", NAME="nst100l"
KERNEL="nst[0-9]*", SYSFS{dev}="9:192", NAME="nst100m"

KERNEL="st[0-9]*", SYSFS{dev}="9:0", NAME="st100"
KERNEL="st[0-9]*", SYSFS{dev}="9:96", NAME="st100a"
KERNEL="st[0-9]*", SYSFS{dev}="9:32", NAME="st100l"
KERNEL="st[0-9]*", SYSFS{dev}="9:64", NAME="st100m"

And the udevtest's I run seem to work (for example):

[root@<> ~]# udevtest /class/scsi_tape/nst0
version 039
looking at '/class/scsi_tape/nst0'
configured rule in '/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules' at line 1 applied,
'nst0' becomes 'nst100'
creating device node '/dev/nst100', major = '9', minor = '128', mode =
'020660', uid = '0', gid = '6'

And my /etc/rc.local file to make it automatic after each reboot has the
lines right at the end:

/sbin/start_udev
/dev/MAKEDEV sg

From what I can tell, my nst and st files get created ok (do I even need
st devices with Netbackup 6.5 MP3.1?).  Running the following fails
however, without finding the /dev/nst100 device path:
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/scan

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Jon

Re: [Veritas-bu] 6.5.4 Remote Java Admin probs

[Dave Markham]

Yep all done.

It works and i can connect it just doesnt seem to get any info back in 
the right hand panes, and yes it was working fine at 6.5GA but after the 
6.5.4 its behaving strangely.

I have checked the .vrtsnbuj shortcut to have NBJAVA_CONNECT_OPTION=1 
and even increased MAX_MEMORY and still the same issue.

Cheers
