[Veritas-bu] Comments on NBU 7.5
Hi, We're running NBU 7.1 and planning to go with 7.5. Is there anyone here running it? Has it been stable for you? Was the upgrade smooth?. Please share. Thanks in advance! Jorge ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
[Veritas-bu] Comments on NBU 7.5
Jorge, I just completed the upgrade from 7.0.1 to 7.5.0.3 last week. The upgrade process was extremely smooth- I encountered no install issues with either the base 7.5 upgrade or the 7.5.03 patches/EEBs. I was ablet to do the master server one day, and the media servers on another. The migration of the flat-files into the database was stunningly fast for us. I have 54K records and it only took 11 minutes. The only issue we saw was due to an extra flat-file directory we had created while working with Symantec support on another issue- the duplicate client name caused some issues, but once we identified the extra directory and removed it all went well. Since the upgrade the only issue I've seen is that AUTO_UPDATE_ROBOT in vm.conf is no longer obeyed. I have a ticket open with Symantec- but I'm hearing that this is not a common issue. That said- the usual caveats about upgrades apply: good catalog backup, get the latest patches from SORT/support, and so on.

[Veritas-bu] There are no files matching the specified criteria
This is an answer to an old thread about this problem: when I try to restore files from a backup the NetBackup GUI reported There are no files matching the specified criteria. I'm having the same problem. I've been working with Netbackup for 10 years. I know 100% for sure this is not user error on my part. This happens to me when I'm trying to restore from a backup of an extremely large number of files. When I go to restore them, it looks to me like the console simply times out. Like the original poster, I'm running netbackup on a Solaris master, though I'm running a newer version: 7.1.0.3. Back in the day when catalog files were stored in .Z format, I could uncompress big ones manually before trying to run a restore from a very large backup, but I'm not aware of any trick I can use on the current catalog format. Anyone got any ideas? I'm going to look at the command line and see if it can help me...

Re: [Veritas-bu] There are no files matching the specified criteria
What I did was change the global timeouts for restores to be 120 minutes. I had that problem when attempting to restore a file from a backup with 10 million files on a 250 GB drive. The restore would always fail before I did this. I know the timeout is a bit extreme but I tried changing to 20 minutes then 60 minutes and the job still failed.

Re: [Veritas-bu] There are no files matching the specified criteria
We’ve had to do the timeout change as well when attempting certain SQL restores. Specifically it was: CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT we changed from 7200 (2 hours) to 32000. My notes show that we found that we could change it just before the restore was started and then safely change it back after the restore had started so as not to impact anything else. However, I haven’t seen that issue for quite some time and had forgotten about it until Doug’s email so I’m not sure if it is still an issue (or solution).
