[Veritas-bu] Redirect Restore Oracle
Hi All, Currently we are using NetBackup 6.0 and Oracle 10. The configuration is including: - NetBackup Master Server (6.0MP7) - NetBackup Media Server (6.0MP7) and Oracle Agent (source backup) - NetBackup Agent (6.0MP7) and Oracle Agent (destination restore) The Oracle backup in Media Server is working fine and using RMAN. Then I need to restore the Oracle of source backed up into another Oracle Agent (destination restore). Anyone has ever performing alternate restore to another agent, please kindly share your experience to me how to customize the RMAN script and requirements in the NetBackup side. Your help is appreciated. Regards, Moehatdee ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
[Veritas-bu] NBU 7.0 hotfix 7.0.0.1 for Microsoft Hyper-V
Good morning forum., The release notes for NBU 7.0 say that hotfix 7.0.0.1 is needed (see page 76 of ftp://exftpp.symantec.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_Enterprise_Serv er/340098.pdf) Does anyone know where we get this from. We've contacted Datalink support who we use for tier 1 and 2 support on our Symantec products and they have yet to get back to us with where we can find this patch. Fileconnect doesn't have anything either. I thought NBU 7.0 was supposed to work with Hyper-V out the box, how come we need to apply a hotfix to get it working ??

[Veritas-bu] AFS backups / restores with Solaris or Linux
Greeetings, At my work we use several AFS file servers for storage. We have been using netbackup to backup and restore these servers for many years. They are all running on Solaris 10 on SPARC hardware. We would love it if it would be possible to switch to using Red Hat Enterprise Linux for these AFS servers. The SPARC stuff is just too expensive. And their is the uncertanty about Oracle's takover. I do actually use RHEL 5 to run some AFS servers that don't need to be backup up... When I last tried setting up a server and doing a backup/ restore with a test AFS file server running under RHEL 5, it did not work. Restores from a backup done on a SPARC system worked on Linux. But a backup would not work. Instead of backing up the /vicepa patition volumes it tried to backup all the actual files on the /vicepa partition. On our Solaris and Linux AFS fileservers we are using namei type AFS fileservers. The files have names like: /vicepa/AFSIDat/R1/R5y0U/+/+/06 these files contain the actual data that is used by the AFS volumes. It shouldn't be backing those up. Instead it should be doing a vos dump command to copy the .backup volume. The backup selection in the client is: /vicep[a-z] I was wondering how I could go about reporting this bug? Any chance it could ever be fixed? I have been told netbackup does and doesn't support AFS fileservers any longer... I'd hate to have to cobble together our own backup solution when netbackup has been working so well all these years. The versions of netbackup client I tried were: netbackup 5.1, 7M. netbackup 6.0, 4M. netbackup 6.5.3.1. The version of afs we are using on our servers is 1.4.11. I was told by a Linux sysadmin I know that this used to work with RHEL 3. But he didn't provide any further details such as the version of netbackup client it used to work with. Another group has taken over our backups and soon I will not have access to a tape robot any more or a netbackup server. After that I will only have access to the clients. As for the group taking over our backups their blanket answers are: AFS + netbackup will only be supported and work on solaris 8 which is rubbish since I have many Solaris 10 systems and it works just fine. Solaris 8 was end of lifed so I know using it forever is not a realistic answer either. Our Sun hardware is out of warranty and getting older every day. I know a lot of other services have moved away from UNIX to Linux over the years so it should be possible for this last one of our dependencies to get fixed if symantec still supports afs. Thats the big if I guess. I tried asking about this topic on the openAFS mailing lists but was told symantec didn't care about AFS support on Linux and that we should cobble together our own solution. I fear this is not an option and that in the end taxpayers dolars will be wasted on expensive Sun hardware if this is the only asnwer. We also can't dich AFS yet. Thanks for any ideas anyone might have.

AFS will continue to be supported with NetBackup 5.x clients running under 5.x or 6.0 servers. .../Ed Ed Wilts, RHCE, BCFP, BCSD, SCSP, SCSE ewi...@ewilts.org Linkedi http://www.linkedin.com/in/ewilts ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

[Veritas-bu] Flashbackup restores to Windows a success but no data on Dr
We have been trying to restore about 1.5 TB of data to our File Server which is a newly built staging server. We're restoring it from the original File Server which was backed up using Flash Backup (raw). Most of the restores have worked, however, it fails when we select individual folders are failing with an status 5 so we decided to move to full volume restores but when we restore it completes successfully but when we login to the source server, there's no data on the drive. +-- |This was sent by kenisha.hes...@usmint.treas.gov 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] Why SAN speed is too much slow
The fact that you are getting 50 MB/s to the switch tells me that something down stream. Your server configuration is probably fine. Here are some things you can check: 1. The speed and type of the port the tape library is connected to. A speed of 10 MB/s can be caused by port mismatch for zoning. This probably will not be the problem. 2. The speed of the fibre connection to the tape drive or library. This is similar to the switch. You might be having the fibre bridge on your library hard coded to 1 gig while the switch is 2 gig. There may also be a configuration on the bridge that sets the speed to the tape drive. It could be set to a low speed.

I am able to take the backup of the File Server through SAN using Media Server. I have done all the necessary tunning buffering in order to increase the speed, it has increased the speed but not adequate. The speed for my backups is 10 MB/S. I have checked even the performance graph on the SAN Switch. At port number 3 SAN Switch is receiving nearly 55 MB/S but suddenly it's speed lowers down at nearly 10 MB/S and start transmitting at the same speed to tape library. At other end the end from the port 5 of the SAN Switch to the Tape Libraray the speed again becomes fast. Is it possibe that the SAN Switch is not properly configured. Because I have done everything in order to increase the speed from the Netbackup end. I even have checked the console of the tape library but to no avail. Can any body guide me what are the necessary actions i can take in order to get the desired result for the SAN. I am using Windows Netbackup server 6.5.3. This Netbackup server is installed on the 2003 R2. I have made the File Server (FS02), as the second (additional) media server for SAN having version 6.5.2. The File Server (FS02) has Windows 2008. This File Server (FS02) is clustered with another File Server having name FS03. The problem for the low speed is possible due to some cluster issue?
