[Veritas-bu] Hot_Cat_Restore_Server
Morning Just a quick question. I have a SAN Media Server on legacy hardware, Win2k3 x86 NBU 7.0.1 and I need to migrate this to newer hardware. I noticed under the Hot-Cat-Backup Wizard, I only have option to recover full or partial catalog. So question is, if I shutdown the old Media Server, and install new Media Server, same Server Name / IP, is the EMM going to be happy with this? I was going to shutdown all services / processes, backup the NetBackup Folder \ Registry and once I done the new clean install, Shutdown Services, import the registry and NetBackup folder and restart services.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Hot_Cat_Restore_Server
Thinking about it more, I am starting to think, if its same name / patch / IP, then Hot_Restore may not be needed if its San Media! So I think I might be right, but clarification would be nice. _ From: WEAVER, Simon (external) Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2011 9:41 AM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Hot_Cat_Restore_Server Morning Just a quick question.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Hot_Cat_Restore_Server
Simon, Does your old media server has any robots or drives attached and how many media are assigned to each robot. You may have to install netbackup on new media server and move the volume database from old to new media server And to update the EMM database we can run the nbemmcmd -updatehost command for the new media server. Anyone has better options please do share. Thanks, Saran On Tue, Apr 5, 2011 at 1:41 AM, WEAVER, Simon (external) simon.wea...@astrium.eads.net wrote: Morning Just a quick question.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Hot_Cat_Restore_Server
Its using SSO, so was going to reapply the license keys, re-run Device Config Wizard. My feeling was that 6.x and 7.0 may not required a restore of Cat BU - As its a SAN Media, same IP / server / platform, just different hardware, it should be ok. That is what my feeling is.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Hot_Cat_Restore_Server
Probably goes without saying / is already in your off-list steps, but just deactivate / reactivate your media server to stop NB trying to send jobs to it / querying it during your upgrade. But as you’ve deduced, no catalogue recovery is required for these changes (unless this media server is hosting your EMM DB, but I’ve assumed that’s on your master).

[Veritas-bu] anyone who has experience on hyper-v backup
When backing up Hyper-V guests, I've seen throughput averaging around 11MB/s, but with peaks as high as 40 MB/s. I would like to see better, and suspect it would be better as the load on the servers were minimal during my testing. +-- |This was sent by spal...@spaldam.com 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
[Veritas-bu] bpduplicate to multiple drive
To run multiple streams of bpduplicate form the command line, requires running mulitple bpduplicate commands. You'll have to write a script that splits up the images list into groupings and then runs a separate bpduplicate command for each grouping. Be careful with this however, if you are reading from tape (hopefully not), you should group them by the Media ID they are on as to prevent a delay in one stream as it waits for the other to release the tape it's using, just to have the other then wait for the same tape to be released again, and so on. +-- |This was sent by spal...@spaldam.com 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

If I were to have my Information Security team provide only one of the passphrases when setting up the KMS database, which one would it be? In other words, which one would be required to rebuilt the entire databsae, and without it I would not be able to re-create any of the keys used by the tape drives? We don't want any one person to be able to re-create the database using the passphrases. I'm leaning towards the Key Protection key as it seems to tie into all the other keys, were the Host Master key is only there to protect the Key Protection key and nothing else.
