[Veritas-bu] NetBackup media server and Sun Coolthread Servers
Hello All; do you have any experience about netbackup media servers on Sun Coolthread servers? I am wondering how netbackup perform well on Coolthread servers? Which one do you recommend between Mx000 and CoolThread servers? Best regards; ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Which one do you recommend between Mx000 and CoolThread servers? All of our recent NetBackup server purchases have been T5120s. They run just fine. We aggregate the four GigE NICs via dladm(1M) for extra bandwidth (round-robin at the L4 layer). Plug in dual HBAs and you'll have plenty of bandwidth both in and out. The CPU comes with on-die dual 10 GigE if you really want network bandwidth, but you'll be taking up a PCIe slot for each interface. So if you want many HBAs (and not just one dual-ported HBA) you many need a T5220 which has more PCIe slots. Personally I think the T-series would be better than the M-series, as you want parallelism for multiple I/O streams, and that's what the CoolThreads servers were designed to handle: parallelism. AFAIK, the M-series is more about single-thread performance (we have a few for some of our Oracle DB stuff). ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
[Veritas-bu] Duplicate from multiple tapes in different robots?
I'm doing a conversion from LTO2 to LTO5 and I think I either ran into a limitation I didn't know about or a bug. NetBackup 6.5.6, Solaris 10 Master / Media. I was duplicating a large image than spans a couple source tapes. Those source tapes are not in the same robot due to sorting / shuffling. The duplication process failed after it attempted to mount the first tape it needed that was in the 2nd library. In the job details it shows current media S00768 complete, requesting next media Tape.TLD002.1:S01209 the problem: tape S01209 is not in the robot housing the Tape.TLD002.1 drive. It appears the reservation system looked only at the first tape needed when it requested a tape drive and assumed that drive could be used for all media. Did I find a feature or bug? -- Jim VandeVegt | Technical Integrator, ETG Physicians Mutual | 2600 Dodge Street | Omaha, NE 68131 402.930.2649 | PhysiciansMutual.comhttp://www.physiciansmutual.com/ | jim.vandev...@physiciansmutual.commailto:jim.vandev...@physiciansmutual.com Insurance for all of us.™ health | life | retirement This message and any attachments are confidential, may contain privileged information, and are intended solely for the recipient named above.

[Veritas-bu] restore not starting

Re: [Veritas-bu] restore not starting
While this doesn't *exactly* fit your scenario, I ran into this same problem several weeks ago, and was able to use the following Support doc to troubleshoot the issue: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/283322.htm Basically, it walks you through the process of using nbrutil to determine whether a given piece of media is already allocated for something else, and shows how to release it.

Re: [Veritas-bu] restore not starting
As an FYI: I ran into this once on doing a restore of a job that had multiple streams one of which died. On trying to restart just the dead stream it failed because the media was still reserved by the original restore job even though it wasn't actually using it. The only way to have cleared that would have been to stop the entire job (which had the still running other streams). I opted to wait until those streams finished and the original job freed the resource. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Hudson, Steve Sent: Friday, June 04, 2010 1:35 PM To: Victor Engle Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] restore not starting If there is a process ID number you can do a help on nbrbutil and there is a way to kill the allocation of this media.I think nbrbutil ? will give you the syntax -Original Message- From: Victor Engle [mailto:victor.en...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, June 04, 2010 1:29 PM To: Hudson, Steve Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] restore not starting Thanks Steve.
