Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP to basic disk
I was finally able to get back to this problem. Apparently the job actually is running. On the NBU gui it appears that nothing is happening, no byte count, etc. However when I looked at the target drive itself the img files were there and growing, but extremely slow for an ndmp job. The situation is this. We have a netapp on which we recently implemented the snapshot for exchange feature for our exchange2007 system. Since we require 3 months of snapshots but don't have nearly enough space to leave them all there we want to back the snaps up to disk. So the snaps are on fibre attached netapp volumes and the ndmp job grabs the snap and is writing it to a basic disk. The basic disk is actually a 6TB GPT volume that is made up of fibre attached netapp SATA space. I also tried redirecting to another disk SATA space that is on a clarriion. Once again, extremely slow throughput. Directing the job to tape gives me more expected results. David Spearman County of Henrico, Va.

[Veritas-bu] Oracle Database Restore Problem
Dear all, I have a problem when restoring the Oracle Database on AIX Linux clients. The problem is related to privilege issue. I used NetBackup client (Backup, Archive, and Restore), by running this command on AIX (using Xmanager) Linux: /usr/openv/netbackup/jbpSA I used the 'Oracle' restore type and the database to be restored has been shown at the 'Directory Structure' of jbpSA, but I was unable to drill-down/expand the database's tree. When it asked for username (SYSDBA privilege), password Net service name (TNS Alias), I've tried to use the correct 'sys' userID password and TNS alias (I've double checked those entries with my system administrator), but it's failed with this error message: Oracle Connection: ERR - Unable to connect to elodev. Error code = 12560 I've tried to run the jbpSA using root oracle users, both resulted the same error. Since I got those error when I expanded the database tree, I can't run the restore as well. I've tried to test the 'sys' user within sqlplus command (logged on as a root user), and it's failed with this error message: ERROR: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges But, when I tried to logon using the oracle user, it was successful but it's still failed when I run the restore using jbpSA. Could you please help me solve this problem? Since I'm a novice in Oracle DB, is there any guidance which I can refer to? If possible, please give me the step by step information about restoring an Oracle Database to AIX Linux platform. FYI, both the NetBackup master client (agent) use the same NetBackup version, which is 6.5.4. Thank you in advance. -- Best Regards, Adrian Soetanto PT. Bentoel Prima - Infrastructure Staff Jl.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Veritas Netbackup Report Status by each mount point.
I don't have a script that'll do this - it's possible, I think but it'll
be a major pain to create.
You'll have to use bpimagelist to get the majority of the information,
it'll have the start elapsed times (you can calculate end time) for
each image. It'll also have the backupid for that image.
You could then use bpflist and that backupid to get a view of the backup
which occurred. From that, if you sort to the shortest path (by subdir
count) you could then infer which filesystem was backed up by that
backupid.
Just quickly... here's the IMAGE record from a backup of mine:
IMAGE lp91 0 0 8 lp91_1261022563 Smaug_FS 0 *NULL* NetBackup Incr 1 3
1261022563 2742 1263700963 0 0 44557223 6643 1 29 0
Smaug_FS_1261022563_INCR.f *NULL* *NULL* 0 1 0 0 0 *NULL* 1 0 0 0 0 0 0
*NULL* 0 0 0 *NULL* 586876 0 0 709075 0 0 *NULL* *NULL* 0 0
Buried in here are field for start time, elapsed time, etc.
Then you could cross-reference through bpflist:
bpflist -client lp91 -backupid lp91_1261022563 \
-policy Smaug_FS -d 12/15/2009 -rl 9 -option ONLY_DIRS \
| awk '{print $10}' |sort -r | tail
...and it returns...
/smaug/vol/documentum03/ap04_data_dcm/index/data/fulltext/
/smaug/vol/documentum03/ap04_data_dcm/index/data/
/smaug/vol/documentum03/ap04_data_dcm/index/
That last line is the top level of the files that were backed up.
It probably could be sorted better - use a field-count based on / as a
field separator. Shortest field-count wins.
Something like this will print the smallest field-count based on a /
separator (replace the sort|tail with this):
awk -F'/' '{if(NR==1){f=NF;save=$0}
else{if(NFf){f=NF;save=$0}}}
END{print save}'
It's a starting point anyway.

My Majority backups are being done by multiple data Streams and

I use this method for a backup checker that polls the catalog to see
what's been backed up. Yeah a lot of work to create, but can be
powerful.
I'll fill in a couple of bits on my use of bpflist.
You could then use bpflist and that backupid to get a view of the backup

Then you could cross-reference through bpflist:
bpflist -client lp91 -backupid lp91_1261022563 \
-policy Smaug_FS -d 12/15/2009 -rl 9 -option ONLY_DIRS \
| awk '{print $10}' |sort -r | tail
One thing about bpflist. Once you have the backupid, you don't need the
dates (or the policy). It makes you give a date argument, but you could
just toss in a random date in the past.
Also, I guess I'm just lucky, but when I look at my images via bpflist,
the top of the tree for all my devices is always the first entry. So I
just read the first entry and toss the rest. So far so good on NBU
standard clients and on Netapp NDMP jobs.
Only thing it doesn't work on in my environment is an Isilon filesystem.
That one doesn't necessarily record a file for the top of the tree on an
incr. The file list only shows changed files which may be a couple of
levels below the requested point.
/smaug/vol/documentum03/ap04_data_dcm/index/data/fulltext/
/smaug/vol/documentum03/ap04_data_dcm/index/data/
/smaug/vol/documentum03/ap04_data_dcm/index/
That last line is the top level of the files that were backed up.
It probably could be sorted better - use a field-count based on / as a
field separator. Shortest field-count wins.
Note that you've asked for all those files with the -rl 9 on your
command. You could also run the command with -rl 1, -rl 2, ... until
something pops out. I'm not sure that's any easier than postprocessing
the output, though.
If these are all standard backups, the -option FILESYSTEM_ONLY should
help isolate them. But that option doesn't seem to help me with my NDMP
backups. I still see all the files/dirs.

[Veritas-bu] MS-Windows Synthetic problem with MSCS
Okay, so I have a problem with backing up MSCS clusters with ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES backup selections. The cluster nodes not holding the volume attempt to backup the volumes and fail. This was easy enough to fix with policy specific client exclusions, and these exclusions for the clustered volumes get skipped correctly when backing up with Full, or Differential-Incremental schedules, and images for those volumes don't get created. The Synthetic Full schedule however errors out with the cluster volumes with an exist status 671. Is there something I am missing? The client exclusions are set up right as they work for the other schedule types. Do the synthetics ignore the exclusion lists since they are not touching the client system? In Legato, the ALL backup selection skips volumes that are associated with an MSCS cluster. Is there a policy specific way I can do the same thing? ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
