Re: [Veritas-bu] FlashBacup - Restore Question
Hello Simon, For 2nd, there was an issue late in 6.5.x with pst files with high data movement (mail copy, deletion etc.) during snapshot time. These pst files were restorable but some of the mails were missing which were moved during snapshot time. It's fixed with 7.0 onwards.

Re: [Veritas-bu] ACSLS 8.0.2 and NBU 7.1(.0.2)
It turned out rpcbind was not setup correctly. This is a note that the Sun Engineer sent me: Symptoms Although RPC is enabled on the ACSLS server, RPC clients cannot communicate to it. rpcinfo, when called from the client server, fails with an "Authentication error". # rpcinfo -p acsls_hostname rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Authentication error; why = Failed (unspecified error) Changes New clustered servers with Solaris OS, Solaris Cluster, ACSLS and ACSLS HA installed successfully. Cause rpcbind service was configured to have SMF property config/local_only set to TRUE. (By, default, it should be set to FALSE.) This SMF property is used to allow or disallow access to rpcbind by remote clients. Thus, a value of TRUE will disallow remote access. Solution 1. Verify the RPC bind service's local_only property setting: # svccfg -s bind listprop | grep local config/local_only boolean true 2. If set to TRUE, change the setting to FALSE; then, list the property again to verify change: # svccfg -s bind setprop config/local_only=false # svccfg -s bind listprop | grep local config/local_only boolean false 3. Refresh the service to activate the new value: # svcadm refresh bind -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of John Meyers Sent: Monday, October 03, 2011 3:48 PM To: Rusty Major Cc: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] ACSLS 8.0.2 and NBU 7.1(.0.2) Just a data point for you.

Hi All, Fresh install of NBU 7.1 with ACSLS 8.0.2, both on Solaris 10. I am unable to get NBU to communicate with ACSLS without forcing the port to communicate over in vm.conf (ACS_CSI_HOSTPORT). This works fine until the ACSLS application is restarted and the port changes.

ACSLS is configured with default settings. I have an ACSLS 8.0.2 server working with NBU version 6.5.x without any issues (same default ACSLS settings and no entries in VM.CONF).
