Re: [Veritas-bu] New Media Server and restore client issue
Can you please specify which version of netbackup is on master and all media servers. Would suggest try restarting the services on master and the media servers before troubleshooting further because these kind of peculiar problems get resolved after that On Wed, Jul 13, 2011 at 12:04 PM, claude.ange...@swisscom.com wrote: Hallo , I have an existant Master/Media and a separate media in one domain. Now I added 3 new media servers systems. It seems ok , I see in the Host properties-media Server : OS , version , connected I did not restart the master server , only a rereadconfig. And in the Media And Device Management - Devices -Media Servers , I see those as active for disk (nor for tape because I am using a disk solution as replacement for the tape/library) And the version. Now one of clients cannot restore from this standard media server , like before the installation of the new media. The restore process takes the new one instead, and it not works. We don’t want that it takes the new one actually. We don’t have a backup of this client via this media. The bp.conf of this client has entries of all new media servers , as well the actual. We disabled the new media servers to be able to make the restore We tried the FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER in the Master server , but witouht success. I already read a post about a similar issue , but that was not really solved .. Or to restrict media servers entries in the client bp.conf Thank you very much.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Uncofigured server group (Any) when trying to change storage unit for policy
Good to know that your problem has been resolved. Whenever we open the java console all policies are locally cached on the system where java console is installed and whenever you make changes, java console doesn't refresh automatically. We need to do it manually so that updated policies can be locally cached.

[Veritas-bu] NBU Standard vs VMware?? confused :(
Currently I have NBU 6.5 master and media server and around 40 NBU Windows clients with standard licenses. Nothing fancy. Our VM environment has 9 ESXi 3.5 hosts with 50 VM's and shared datastores. About 10 of those VM's are using the standard NBU clients to backup to tape. Nothing fancy there either. ;) I'm looking into possibly moving to a VMware NBU configuration? and backup VM's via datastore, etc.., but I'm not 100% sure how this is configured. And honestly, I'd like to stay with the cheapest solution (regarding NBU licenses). I also heard that if I just purchase Enterprise licenses for each ESX host, I can use as many NBU standard clients on VM's that I please. So as you can tell, I'm a bit confused and need to know my options and which is the most cost effective. Any help or advice is much appreciated!

Check with your vendor on specifics. You can purchase enterprise client licenses and perform direct backups of the Vmware datastore. This has some benefits. You can do off-host backups in a SAN storage environment. VM disks with lots of files can be backed up faster than having the virtual server walk it's filesystem. Or you can purchase standard client licenses and perform standard backups within each virtual server. In both cases, you only need them for the physical machines. You used to need one enterprise client for each OS type (windows, linux, etc.) on each physical machine, but I believe with 7.x (or possibly even 6.5) that is no longer necessary. -- Darren ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
