[Veritas-bu] NetBackup media server and Sun Coolthread Servers

2010-06-04 Thread Asiye Yigit
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;

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] Duplicate from multiple tapes in different robots?

2010-06-04 Thread Jim VandeVegt
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?

[Veritas-bu] restore not starting

2010-06-04 Thread Victor Engle
List,

This is probably a simple question but here goes...

I start a restore the the restore just waits for media with the
following message in the job details tab...

06/04/2010 12:12:58 - awaiting resource MXX010. Waiting for resources.
  Reason: Media is in use, Media server: N/A,
  Robot Type(Number): NONE(0), Media ID: MXX010, Drive Name: N/A,
  Volume Pool: N/A, Storage Unit: N/A, Drive Scan Host: N/A,
  Disk Pool: N/A, Disk Volume: N/A

Netbackup show the media sitting in a slot in the library and the
library web interface confirms the media's presence. The media is not
in a tape drive being used. Why does netbackup indicate that the media
is in use? How can I troubleshoot this?

Thanks for any pointers!

Re: [Veritas-bu] restore not starting

2010-06-04 Thread Joel Sadler
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

2010-06-04 Thread Lightner, Jeff
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.

 Subject: [Veritas-bu] restore not starting

 List,

 This is probably a simple question but here goes...

 I start a restore the the restore just waits for media with the
 following message in the job details tab...

 06/04/2010 12:12:58 - awaiting resource MXX010. Waiting for resources.
          Reason: Media is in use, Media server: N/A,
          Robot Type(Number): NONE(0), Media ID: MXX010, Drive Name: N/A,
          Volume Pool: N/A, Storage Unit: N/A, Drive Scan Host: N/A,
          Disk Pool: N/A, Disk Volume: N/A

 Netbackup show the media sitting in a slot in the library and the
 library web interface confirms the media's presence. The media is not
 in a tape drive being used. Why does netbackup indicate that the media
 is in use? How can I troubleshoot this?

 Thanks for any pointers!
 Vic
