Hi,

Not connecting, turn up verbose = 5 and check bpcd/vnetd logs.
Also run all of the IP forward/reverse/DNS checks in both directions.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] DR test questions



I'm about ready to perform a DR test  

I need clarification on a few items 

Master is HP-UX 11.11 @ 6.5.4 

::---  DR master has a different name then the current production
system... 

Would a complete restore from the production work OK after I change the
DR systems name 
to that of the production box?  Or do I need to re-install NBU?  If I do
need to re-install...  Is it a matter 
of running the install script?  I'm so use to Solaris and not
HP-UX 

::---  Recovery without import process 

In the past we used the Recovery without import process  That was
with 5.1... 
This is the 1st DR I've had to deal with that's at 6.5.4...  Can I still
use the same process 
I used with 5.1? 

Thanks

Hello
I have a guide that can be downloaded here

http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/278562.htm

If you can create a folder called BPBKAR that may help and will create a
log file to assist.

Any error messages in the Application log on the Windows 2008 Server?
I take it, that this is a Windows 2008 64-bit Server and not a Windows
2008 R2 64-Bit Server?

And is it just a standard File Level Backup you are running? And you
have installed the correct client version (64bit) on the Windows 2008
box (I found this caused my status 11, but not saying this is your
problem).

Justin,

Thanks for the reply.  For whatever reason things seem to have magically
started working again.  All I did was shutdown Veritas (again), turned
up the verbosity in bp.conf, and restarted it.  When it first started I
still didn't have bpdbm, bpjobd, etc, running.  The vnetd log had a lot
of errors.  When I ran bpdbjobs from the command line, nothing came
back.

While looking through the bpdbm log I found no errors but a lot of
entries like it was doing backups.  About 10 minutes later I ran
bpdbjobs again and everything showed up and some jobs were running.  I
think this are restarts of some failed jobs so we'll see how they do.
So far 4 of them have completed successfully.

Since I leave the country on vacation tomorrow morning I don't plan on
touching anything else on it today :-)

Thanks again for the help.

My coworker here modified one of the key files for NetBackup 6 once but
didn't bother to bounce NetBackup to see what effect his change had.

 

Later he goes on vacation and I bounce NetBackup while dealing with a
fairly minor problem.  It didn't come back up and after spending 24
hours on the phone with NetBackup support I figured out what the problem
was.  NetBackup never suggested looking at this file  - I just happened
to notice the file date was newer than the previous NetBackup bounce
while I was on one of my interminable holds with them.What was worse
is they couldn't tell me what the fields in the file he changed were for
even after I discovered it.   Luckily I'd taught him at a previous job
to always save originals when editing files for quick back out so I was
able to revert.  

 

Now any time he says I'm going to... and it is heading into a weekend
I'm on call I tell him No, you're not!   He's a pretty smart guy but I
figure he should have the ...um...joy of dealing with the results of his

wow a lot of great info.

Thanks for the replies.

Here is the story to date:

We found the old robot and drives (ADIC Scalar 100) but we are having trouble 
with it (don't know why... its only been sitting for 6 years).  So I'm thinking 
of doing a tape import route.

After talking to my vendor they want $14k for a new LTO3 drive and $10k for a 
used one.  My boss threw the PO back at me. haha don't blame him.

My major question going forward is this:

These tapes were created under NB 5.1

I'm running 6.5.3

Will they import?

Thanks again for all the replies.

well good guess I better get started!

on a side note.

I got my Red hat 7.1 box running NB 5.1 back up and running.
The robot (adic scalar 100 with two lto-1 drives) is alive but the picker seems 
broke so I can't teach the robot or get it to inventory tapes.
in an effort to restore jobs without importing them to my current redhat 5.4 NB 
6.5.3 setup I attached an lto3 standalone drive to the old setup
I'm unsure how to do a restore relying on the standalone drive only.

The catalog still shows the tapes in the robot but as I said... I can't do a 
tape inventory.

When I start a restore job it just sits there... I imaging getting hung up on 
the bad robot.

any ideas?

If I could restore all the images to one of my raids... I'll just re-archive 
the stuff under NB 6.5.3

You can run bptestbpcd from the master and media servers to verify

bptestbpcd -host hostname -debug

In place of -debug, you can use -verbose, or no option at all, but they 
get gradually less detailed respectively.

If the robot isn't working, you can select the tapes that are in the
robot in the GUI.  Click move, make sure Volume is in a robotic
library is unchecked and hit ok.  The catalog should show the tapes are
not in a robot.

Now when you need them for a restore, you should get a pending mount

I just exclude the images directory as that's the bulk of the size. There 
are also other configuration files and whatnot scattered all over that I'm 
not sure are captured in the hot backup. The size of the rest of the data

2010-01-21 Thread David Stanaway
Answering my own question,
This was resolved by turning off multistreaming for this policy. With
multistreaming, a separate stream was spawned for each drive, even if
the drive was filtered out and gave errors with the synthetic.

This problem did not occur when the policy was set to not use
multistreaming. Kudos to NBU support for solving this one.

 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] Help : Error on Netbackup Puredisk Job Backup

2010-01-21 Thread Ahmad Abbas Ilyas
Hi all

 

This master server has two clients. This error occurred only on one client. 

While another can be backed up successfully. I found an error occurred on
one of my puredisk master server job backup this morning. 

It failed to backed up its client completely. I have trying to restart the
puredisk agent service on the client. 

But the same error still occurred when I try to run 'manually backup'
process.

Please find the detail job on the log attached file.

 

Can anyone fix this ?

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

[Veritas-bu] Wildcards in Policy-BackupSelections

2010-01-21 Thread Dirk.Mueller
Hi,

I have some server where I want to backup a specific folder. This folder is 
shared to different drives:

Server A: C:\aaa\test
Server B: E:\aaa\test

Is it possible to backup the folder test of all servers in one policy with 
wildcards?
I tried something like *:\aaa\test, but it didn´t run.

Kind regards
Dirk

Re: [Veritas-bu] I inherited a mess.

2010-01-21 Thread WEAVER, Simon (external)
Hello Sagz
Importing media and tapes from a 5.1 system into a new 6.5 is fully
supported, and will work.

Just please remember that it is a 2 step process. 

1 Hour to read the header
4 Hours to read the entire tape.

There is a section covered in this in the Sys Administrators Guide, but
you can check the tool out for yourself by performing the following:

Launch the Administrator Console
From the main window (If you see it) select IMPORT IMAGES and follow the
Wizard on screen.

Alternatively, on the left hand side of the window is the NetBackup tree
structure. Click on Catalog and on the top left click IMPORT and under
MEDIA ID select the Media in question.

As I said, it is all covered in the Manual :-)
Hope this helps a little bit!

I know from Experience the ADIC Scalar 100 is not good, and when it is
under load, problems arise. If it helps at all, it may be advisable to
ensure you have the latest Tape Drivers and more importantly, all
Firmware on all drives and Robot are at the same revision.

This caused no end of trouble :-(
Simon

wow a lot of great info.

Thanks for the replies.

Here is the story to date:

We found the old robot and drives (ADIC Scalar 100) but we are having
trouble with it (don't know why... its only been sitting for 6 years).
So I'm thinking of doing a tape import route.

After talking to my vendor they want $14k for a new LTO3 drive and $10k
for a used one.  My boss threw the PO back at me. haha don't blame him.

My major question going forward is this:

These tapes were created under NB 5.1

I'm running 6.5.3

Will they import?

Thanks again for all the replies.
