Re: [Veritas-bu] Is the veritas-bu list still alive?

2017-06-04 Thread Bob

Yes, Social gets a lot of attention, but email lists are still the 
best vehicle.
I use Eudora for email and their list and moderator are the example 
of how a list can:

1. Be run with a great moderator (I call her the Queen of Eudora)
2..act as a source of knowledge as people are reporting new actions 
all the time (I have been using Eudora for 20 years and still learn 
from the list)
3. Problem solving. If someone on the list can not respond to a 
problem, then it is almost time to give up

Actually, not give up but re describe the problem.  (99% success rate)
4. Eudora list is "email" and Eudora email is txt, makes searching simple.

wish there was a similar list for recovery/backup!

That was my thought as well.  There seems to be a general trend toward other
social media outlets for a lot of things instead of mailing lists.

Maybe NBU is just so easy now, nobody needs to ask any questions about it
anymore? ;-)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Slow backup for MSSQL DB server with man DBs?

We have a MSSQL server with ~200 very small databases. This takes a very
long time to backup as each DB spawns a new job that needs to get qued
then start up the media session etc.

We used to back it up with Legato pretty quickly, but now the lag is
quite noticeable and it eats into our maintenance window.

Is there anything we can do to decrease the lost time between backup
jobs for a SQL policy with the $ALLDATABASES target with this many
databases?

When trying to add more than 200, we are getting

 

Already configured the max number drives for this version

Adding this drive would exceed the maximum allowed

 

Surely 200 is pretty minimal, or possibly a licensing issue?

[Veritas-bu] locate database files in clients system level backups

2009-02-27 Thread Stump, Bob A

 Hello,

I have a thousand clients on several sites throughout the U.S. I want to
be able to determine if a client has a database on it that is getting
copied to tape by a NetBackup system level backup. I thought that
perhaps I could use the NetBackup image catalog.  I was thinking that I
could uncompress and convert the clients image files to ascii using
bpcatlist/cat_convert and search for .dbf, .mdf, .ldf etc... in the
files. Has anybody done this that could help me get started?

Thanks,

Bob Stump

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5.1 restores miss files

 

I've just got back to the office after a 24 DR test and wanted to get
this question out there before I forget.

 

We found during our testing that even if an entire directory tree was
selected to be restored, after the restore finished we would be missing
random files and directories.  Re-running the restore with the same
parameters would almost always lay down additional data which should
have been restored the first time around.  

 

Once we turned these servers over to our DBA's to run their RMAN
restores, we spent several hours completing additional requests for
individual files to be restored which had been missed earlier on.  When
we would drill down to check that these files existed we always found
that they were there.

 

For reference, all of our backup data resides on 2 Data Domain storage
devices so it isn't an issue with missing media.

 

Has anyone else seen anything like this ? 

 

Thanks,

I use a company to do it.
Was Media Recovery - Now known as dataSPAN.

1) They will degauss onsite before the tapes leave your building
2) They may buy the tapes from you after that (they clean and sell them
as used - because they are degaussed before they leave your site they
are good to go)
3) They will also physically destroy them and take care of the disposal
of the leftovers in proper environmentally fashion.
4) You can get a certificate that says you had so many tapes or cd's
destroyed for audit compliance.

I have used them for years.

1. How do you handle it?
2. You can send tapes off-site to Iron Mountain, degauss them before you

send them off-site, that is one option.
3. How much are the machines that "securely" and physically destroy the 
tape media?
4. If they're physically destroyed, how do you deal with the tape
shards, 
how do you dispose of the material?

How do others on this list deal with bad tapes (with thousands of errors

etc) how do you properly dispose of them?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Duplicating tapes with Veritas NBU 4.5

2009-01-06 Thread Stump, Bob A

NetBackup does not duplicate tapes. It only duplicates images.
Use bpimagelist to determine the names of the images on the tapes.
Then use bpduplicate to make copies of the images on a new tape.

Hello all,

I am working with Veritas Netbackup 4.5 Data Center and I'm faced with a
problem.
We have a pack of written tapes (multiplexing mode use when backing up)
that contain only a few kb of data.
As we are running out of tapes, I'd like to know how it is possible to
duplicate the content of one MEDIA to another specific MEDIA ID,
without erasing what has already been backed up ?

For instance :

images on :
MEDIA001 : server A image volume 7kb
MEDIA001 : server B image volume 8kb
MEDIA002 : server C image volume 5kb

I aim to get all images from MEDIA001 onto MEDIA002, that would enable
me
ton get theses images on MEDIA002 :

MEDIA002 : server A image volume 7kb
MEDIA002 : server B image volume 8kb
MEDIA002 : server C image volume 5kb
Total data volume on MEDIA002 : 20kb

then being able to scratch MEDIA001 tape

First I was thinking of bpduplicating command, but it won't give me the
result needed.

Thank you

David

[Veritas-bu] Is there any way to find an expired image on a tape?

2008-04-24 Thread Stump, Bob A

Is there any way to find an expired image on a tape? NetBackup removes
the catalog information concerning an expired image. The tape remains
assigned to NetBackup until all images on the tape have expired.  There
could be an expired image on a tape that you could bpimport and do a
restore of the image. 

You would first have to identify the tape and expire all active images
on it before you could bpimport. Identifying the tape is the hard part
when there are hundreds of possible tapes. I would think you would have
to mount the tape and read it to see what images were on it.

Another possible solution is to setup a temporary master server and
bprecover an old catalog to it. Any other solutions?

2008-04-18 Thread Stump, Bob A

Makes no sense that they remove a command that allows putting or getting
a file on a client yet leave bprsh.

bprsh allows root to run any command that is in the
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin or volmgr/bin as root on a client.

Any command could potentially be placed into those directories. It
doesn't have to be a NetBackup command.

bpgp is like a speck of sawdust in the eye of security while bprsh would

Just wondering if you NetBackup 6.5 admins can check to see if bprsh
still is available. bprsh is similar to remsh or rsh 

# bprsh -Q
bprsh [ -l username ] hostname command [ -FF ] [ -SO filename ] [ -SE
[filename] ]

-SO writes all stdout to filename
-SE writes all stderr to filename, or, in the absence of a
filename,
appends/catenates all stderr to the end of stdout.

In the absence of -SE in either form, all stderr will be
interspersed in the stdout as it was issued.

In the absence of -SO, -SE and -FF, everything is written to
stdout as it was issued.

-FF ignores all output, and just starts the command, not waiting
for completion;
-FF will override -SO and/or -SE if present.

Use quotes as required, especially around the command pathname
(escape the quotes).

Note: The list of commands allowed is extremely limited.

NOTE:
On Unix clients, only commands found in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bin or
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin can be executed.

This might force me to start backing /usr/openv a few thousand times :-(

 

Normally, I don't do that because you have to already have NetBackup
installed and configured before you can do a restore.

When you have a few thousand clients the amount of data in the
/usr/openv filesystem quickly adds up.

Especially including all the verbose=5  NetBackup logfiles.

This took all day to suss out.

If you have gdb installed on your NBU6.5 server, then this script will
start nbgp with some suitable args and then sets a breakpoint when it
calls it's internal function "copy_file_from_server". At this point we
squirt in a new filename then continue execution and bingo, you can pull
whatever you want from any client.

Usage: scriptname   

eg: my_bpgp.ksh my_server01 /etc/passwd /tmp/passwd_from_01

Here's the script: apart from the shebang it's all one line. Take off
the dev/null 2>&1 if you don't trust me on my first post and want to see
what it's doing. I won't be insulted :) The printf is 'typing'
instructions to gdb, passing in dummy args (-po DBEXT and -job 2).
Unhindered, the program would attempt to fetch
/usr/openv/tmp/blahblah_DBEXT.2.trace_file - nbgp is like bpgp except it
only pulls certain files. What we do is trap it's internal call to the
function copy_file_from_server and clobber in our own filename.

#!/bin/ksh
printf "set write\nbreak *copy_file_from_client+0x10\nrun LOG -cl $1 -po
DBEXT -job 2 -lfn $3\ncont\nset \$i3=\"$2\"\ncont\nq\n" | gdb

Re: [Veritas-bu] Assign priority for backup clients

2008-02-07 Thread Stump, Bob A

Please see the NetBackup system Admin Guide II Chapter 5 on prioritizing
queued jobs. Usually the clients will run top-down from the lient list
but that is not constant as a separate priority would be.

For example, assume that clients ant and beetle have backup jobs that
are in the same policy and have the same retention level. Also assume
that the schedules for these backup jobs both have a frequency of 1 day.
If the last backup for client ant ran 25 hours ago and the last backup
for client beetle ran 26 hours ago, then both clients are overdue for a
backup. However, the client beetle job is the most overdue and will run
first.

This approach ensures that a backup that was not successful during its
previous backup window has priority over backups that were successful.
This is important on a busy system where the backup window can sometimes
close before all backups can begin

Again, the best solution is to break out the critical clients into their
own policy and then you can give the policy a higher priority. This is
another case that Mr. Preston is once again shown to be correct :-)

We are using NBU 6.0MP4 as Master/Media Server. Within a policy, say if
there are ten clients, how can we assign priority for each of these
clients. So that the critical clients are backed up and avoid 'client
backup was not attempted as backup window was closed' message. I cannot
increase the backup session window as it is already extended to the
maximum possible.

Please let me know how to assign priority to backup clients within the

bash-3.00# vmquery -m 0081L2
Could not query by media ID 0081L2: volume does not exist in database (35)

Is there a documented process for recreating the VolDB?

I'm looking into whether or not this is true.  If it is, it's time for
an email campaign. 

Some see it as a security hole, and I think that's ridiculous.  Anybody
who is root/Administrator on a NetBackup master can push any file to any
client any time they want via a backup/restore command.  Removing bpgp
only makes it take a few minutes instead of a few seconds.

Other complaints about it over the years have been that it doesn't check
for like/like. You can overwrite a directory with a file if you tell it
to.  For example, the following command would be VERY BAD!

WRONGWAY# bpgp to client /etc/hosts /etc #DON'T DO THIS

While this would be perfectly valid syntax with copy, cp, rcp, mv, etc,
it is NOT proper syntax with bpgp.  The command above would overwrite
the /etc DIRECTORY with /etc/hosts, which, of course, would not be good
for your client.  (Some have even overwritten their root mount point.)
Perhaps they got too many calls from people that did just that.

Of course, about five lines of code could have fixed that problem.  It
doesn't allow you to copy a directory, but it doesn't check if what
you're copying to is a directory. A simple check that the target file is
or is not a directory would have sufficed.  If it was a directory, it
could just exit with error.  But they chose instead to just pretend the
command didn't exist.  It's not documented; there's not even a Usage
statement in the command itself, even if you do strings.  If you call
support and complain they tell you it's not supported.

How are we going to maintain exclude lists?
They've taken away our tools.
We either need to have them back or be given an alternate solution.

I'm looking into whether or not this is true.  If it is, it's time for
an email campaign. 

Some see it as a security hole, and I think that's ridiculous.  Anybody
who is root/Administrator on a NetBackup master can push any file to any
client any time they want via a backup/restore command.  Removing bpgp
only makes it take a few minutes instead of a few seconds.

Other complaints about it over the years have been that it doesn't check
for like/like. You can overwrite a directory with a file if you tell it
to.  For example, the following command would be VERY BAD!

WRONGWAY# bpgp to client /etc/hosts /etc #DON'T DO THIS

While this would be perfectly valid syntax with copy, cp, rcp, mv, etc,
it is NOT proper syntax with bpgp.  The command above would overwrite
the /etc DIRECTORY with /etc/hosts, which, of course, would not be good
for your client.  (Some have even overwritten their root mount point.)
Perhaps they got too many calls from people that did just that.

Of course, about five lines of code could have fixed that problem.  It
doesn't allow you to copy a directory, but it doesn't check if what
you're copying to is a directory. A simple check that the target file is
or is not a directory would have sufficed.  If it was a directory, it
could just exit with error.  But they chose instead to just pretend the
command didn't exist.  It's not documented; there's not even a Usage
statement in the command itself, even if you do strings.  If you call
support and complain they tell you it's not supported.

Yes, the beloved bpgp is gone from NetBackup 6.5.
Worse, restoring bpgp from a 6.0 backup does not help.
The restored bpgp fails with a core dump.

[Veritas-bu] 3rd party scheduling

2008-01-16 Thread Stump, Bob A

I have seen a trend to stop using NetBackup for starting and monitoring
backups. The move has been to doing all command line backups from a 3rd
party scheduler as part of a true enterprise scheduling, monitoring and
management implementation. NetBackup is simply one of many products that
are controlled by the enterprise 3rd party sheduler/monitor. What are
the drawbacks to moving in this direction?

What are some of the enterprise scheduling and monitoring/management 3rd
party solutions have you recently seen? Autosys? Stonebranch?

[Veritas-bu] NBU pattern matching

2008-01-07 Thread Bob Rice


Hi all,

NBU5.0mp3 on Solaris 9.

I'm having a difficult time setting up a Policy using pattern 
matching so that I can chop up large file systems into multiple 
streams.  Specifically, I am trying to use [a-zA-Z] pattern matching 
arguments against a Windows machine, but can't seem to make it work 
properly.  I have been successful using C:\a*, C:\b*, etc..., but 
would prefer not to create 36 entries in the backup selections.

Another I that I thought might work is to populate the Include list 
programmatically, via an LS or DIR?  Does anyone know where that file 
resides on a Windows box?


Thanks in advance,
Bob

Re: [Veritas-bu] How Many Engineers Does It Take To Backup a Lightbulb

2008-01-04 Thread Stump, Bob A

Randy,

There is an ancient riddle that applies to this.

How many cows' tails would it take to reach from here to the moon?

Answer...only one, if it is long enough!

 

Complexity of the environment is the main determination factor.

There are small complex environments that require a lot of attention and
thus many people.

There are HUGE environments that are simplistic and thus require fewer
people to maintain.

What is the difference between a complex and a simplistic environment?

Answer ... the quality of planning and the confidence level of the
NetBackup admin to stand up to management.

It doesn't matter how sharp the "Engineers" are if management does not
back them up.

 

Service level agreement, (SLA) is another important factor.

If you have a 7/24/365 environment with SLA then number of people
required goes up dramatically.

It doesn't matter how talented and capable the people are, burnout can
and will manifest in turnovers.

Turnovers are BAD and can drastically affect your SLA due to the
learning curve.

Even the most knowledgeable NetBackup guru will have a learning curve
when introduced to a new site.

Minimize that by having an adequate number of people to allow for sick
days, vacation, and training and compensation time.

 

Meetings!

That word in itself should be an adequate argument for at least another
person.

 

Go for quality NetBackup engineers that use the CLI vs. the GUI

Scripting can/will help keep a tight environment.

I'd say it's a display problem limited to the Java admin console.

Hello,

I am leery about a request that came in to setup rsync between the
production master server and the master server at a DR site for keeping
the NetBackup catalog up to date. I know there is always supposed to be
a separation of production and DR/lab sites in order to protect the
safety and well being of the production site. Rsync works with the
superuser root having ssh capabilities both ways. GASP!

 

However, I know there are some of you that use this approach. How do you
protect your production site with confidence that you and your
management keep your jobs?

 

Thanks,

When we recreated the policy, a FULL backup was triggered even though we would

Since I'm somewhat of a newbie to storage management in the Open Systems world, 
I didn't expect it.  Fortunately, the unplanned FULL backup didn't cause any

That's what I was guessing.  Based on some previous conversations here, I
just finished breaking out all the clients into discrete policies.
Hopefully, they'll be fine.  I'll probably leave them deactivated until my
weekend full cycle and recreate the same, broken policy to keep it going
this week.  Or would either way trigger a full?

2007-08-14 Thread Swartwood, Bob

We had a similar problem a few weeks ago and contacted Symantec/Veritas.  We 
got no explanation but were directed to recreate the policy and the problem 
went away.  I.E., the policy definition was corrupted.

Our symptoms were that the incremental repeated essentially every 30 minutes 
until the window expired.  At which point we got a status=196.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Odd Policy Behavior


When I came in this morning and looked at my backups, I initially noticed
that one client ran repeatedly.  I sorted the activity monitor by client
name, copied and pasted into Excel, yielding 792 rows.  Now, I've gone back
and am seeing that the other clients in this policy kicked off repeatedly.
And at least one other policy did the same.  The policy backs up the clients
each in a single stream with ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES.  Last night's job was a
Differential, so the backup times were small.  The first client I saw showed
re-running the job every minute or two.  For instance, it ran initially at
23:30 for 4:50 minutes.  It kicked off again at 23:35 (duration 1:46);
23:36...

-Original Message-

Dear fellow NetBackup laborers,

It's been awhile since I've participated in this forum, but I would like
some opinions on DR for a large enterprise environment that simply has
too many media servers to list all of them in bpsyncinfo.

I am proposing to do the following for backing up the catalog
information in NetBackup 5.x media servers:

1. Remove the file lists for the media servers from the bpsyncinfo.
2. Create a single standard NetBackup policy for all UNIX media servers
   /usr/openv/netbackup/db
   /usr/openv/volmgr/database
   /usr/openv/var
   /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf
   /usr/openv/volmgr/vm.conf
   /usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_*
   /usr/openv/netbackup/include_*
3. Create a single windows NetBackup policy for all window media servers
   C/Program Files/VERITAS/Netbackup/db
   C/Program Files/VERITAS/volmgr/database
   C/Program Files/VERITAS/var
4. Create a bpsyncinfo that would only include the master catalog files

This is kind of like the 2 tape system for backing up large catalogs as
described in the NetBackup Sys Admin Guide. I think this should be OK
because in a disaster scenario the master server will be bprecovered
first. Then, if the media servers are one of the master server's regular
backup clients then it would have all the information it needs to be
able to restore the catalog and special files to the media servers as
its clients.

[Veritas-bu] FYI on how to set freq to less than 1 hour

2007-03-29 Thread Bob Stump

No problems in this post. I am just sharing a solution you may be looking for 
in the future J Scenario: I need to run a backup every hour on the hour and the 
backup lasts for about 15 minutes.  I've created the policy and schedule and 
set the frequency to 1 hour. The first backup runs on the hour, but the next 
schedule occurs one hour after the previous job ends and not from the original 
start time.  e.g. Job starts at 9:00, ends at 9:15, next job starts at 9:15 
which is NOT on the hour. See the dilemma? Well, most of you already understand 
the concept of frequency creep. Obviously I needed to set a frequency that is 
less than 1 hour but, NetBackup has 1 hour as the shortest frequency interval 
for a schedule. My solution was to use the command 
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpplschedrep with the modification of *freq 
1800. That set the frequency to 30 minutes (60 * 30) Funny thing is that the 
schedule still shows 1 hour frequency in the GUI. But thats OK! The frequency 
of 30 minutes works great! No problems in this post. I am just sharing a 
solution you may be looking for in the future J

Why not just use CLI /usr/openv/netbackup/bp?
Change the date to Feb 17 (1171691274) and the
source to nydux-25k106,and the Directory Depth

Re: [Veritas-bu] How can I retrieve files backed up from backup id(from command line)

2007-03-29 Thread Bob Stump

Definition of each field in bpflist command output. 
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/271392.htm

Details:
* When running the bpflist command, there are several cryptic fields
that return in the output. There are 17 fields
and are defined in this TechNote, 1 through 17.

* This example applies to standard backups. There may be exceptions
with AFS file systems due to the differences in mode bit rights.

Example of the output from an execution of the bpflist command:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpflist

9 0 9 49 47 1 0 0 35651584 /test/ddd 33188 root other 20 958143374
958143227 959788518

1. file sequence number in the backup image (starts at 1, a zero means
this file is NOT in the image)
2. compressed size in bytes, plus 7 as safety margin (0=not
compressed)
3. number of characters in the path name 
4. number of characters in the files file line from the field *after*
the path name to the end of the line
5. starting block of this file's data in the backup image
6. in_image flag (0=not in image, 1=in image)
7. raw partition size in bytes (0=not a raw partition)
8. size of the file in GBytes (only set if the file is bigger than 2
GBytes, otherwise zero)
9. file system physical device number
10. path name
11. mode bits in decimal (convert to octal - see below)
12. owner 
13. group
14. real size in bytes (as in on-disk inode)
15. last access time
16. last modification time
17. last inode modification time

The 11th field on each line is the file/directory permissions in
DECIMAL.
To see the file permission bits more clearly, convert the value into
OCTAL.
E.g.: if the value in the file is 16877 decimal, this is actually 40755
in octal, which indicates that it is a directory (04) with
permissions rwxr-xr-x (00755).
A full list of the meanings of all the mode bits can be found on a
Solaris system in /usr/include/sys/stat.h towards the bottom of the file
(or in the equivalent header file on other UNIX platforms).
It can be confusing because the permission bits are listed in octal,
but the rest of the bits are listed in hexadecimal - it often requires
writing out the value in binary to be clear about which bit positions
are set.

No man page for bpflist (in 5.1 MP4 at least).  Even though you
specify
the backupid you have to specify the start and end for some reason or
it
will say "no entity".

bpflist -j will make it produce help/usage display so you can see all

The bpimagelist command gives me the following for images created on a
specific
day for a particular policy:

   IMAGE nydux-25k106 0 0 7 nydux-25k106_1171691274 nydux-25k106 0

Does anyone know if there is a command to retrieve the actual files
backed up
(or even better, the list of directories passed to the bpbackup

to be
backed up)?
I would like to input the backup id (nydux-25k106_1171691274) and get
more info

[Veritas-bu] media server question

2007-03-26 Thread bob metcalf

I have a master/media server
set up--Solaris machine attached
to an STK libary.  Four LTO drives
and one robotic arm, direct-attached
to the host.

I have two drives in the STK, currently
unattached and unused.

If I want to add those drives to the NBU
config, do I have to add them to the
existing master/media server?  

Or is it possible to create a media server,
direct attach to that, and have the master/media
server with the robotic attachment manage the
tape manipulation in the new media server?

Thanks.

Re: [Veritas-bu] add_slave_on_clients

2007-03-15 Thread Bob Stump

Hi Patrick,
If I remember right, when you and I were with OpenVision/VERITAS ancient days 
ago, the add_slave_on_client running on the master could be used to update all 
of the UNIX clients with a new media server name. It wouldn't need any 
parameters. If anyone still has a NetBackup 3.4 then they could verify the 
bourne shell script. Unfortunately it is now an executable :-(
 
Basically it used "bpgp" to collect all of the UNIX bp.conf files onto the 
master and grepped for "SERVER = " and appended the new server as "SERVER = 
NEWSERVERNAME". The it again used bpgp to push the bp.conf back to the client. 
It always looked nasty because you then had multiple entries for media servers 
in the new file. They should have done a sort -u or something.

 With Netbackup 5.1, I would also recommend making sure that your Windows 2003

Re: [Veritas-bu] Tape drive woes

2007-03-13 Thread Bob Stump

yes, STK/Sun is notorious for going in and changing firmware which causes the 
mapping to go bad.
Remap the drives and then set up persistent binding.

>>> "Ellis, Jason" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 3/13/2007 12:24:09 PM >>>

We have been having some problems with some of our tape drives and believe to 
have narrowed it down to a problem with the drives themselves. Our current 
environment is a single Master server running Windows 2003 Enterprise SP1 and 
four Media servers running Windows 2003 Enterprise SP1. All our servers are 
running NetBackup 5.1 MP4. About a week ago Sun (STK) was onsite to perform 
maintenance. As part of the maintenance they performed testing on our drives 
and updated the drive firmware to the latest revision. However, since then a 
number of our drives have not been staying up. After spending several days 
troubleshooting the issue from an OS and NetBackup perspective we seem to have 
narrowed the problem down the drives. The behavior is that we can UP the drives 
in NetBackup and they will stay up until NetBackup attempts to mount a tape and 
run a backup job to the drive. These drives are shared among two Media servers, 
and it seems that the device host they go DOWN on is consistent with the Media 
server that initiates the backup job to the drive. Looking through the 
Application Event Log Ive noticed the following errors: TLD(0) drive 18 
(device 9) is being DOWNED, status: Unable to open drive TLD(0) drive 15 
(device 7) is being DOWNED, status: Unable to SCSI unload drive TLD(0) drive 19 
(device 10) is being DOWNED, status: Drive does not exist in robot  Number two 
looks like a problem with the drive itself, however numbers one and three 
almost looking more like a device path problem within Netbackup or Windows. In 
Device Manager we can see the proper number of drives and all the drives have 
the proper VERITAS drivers installed. Additionally running a tpautoconf *t 
and a scan will show the proper number of drives. We also double-checked the 
SSO configuration and corrected a few errors, but this did not seem to have an 
effect on the problem. Has anybody else seen anything like this before? If you 
need more information on our environment let me know. Thank you in advanced for 
any help you can provide. Jason Ellis

This is an issue with both vendors.  First, Veritas/Symantec is at
fault
for not being able to provide an accurate running version number for
their products.  As a customer community, we've been grumbling about
this for several years and they have yet to globally fix it.  It's an
issue because without doing something like file checksums and file
dates, even Symantec can't tell you what version you're running.

It's a problem with Qualys because they're basing a security statement
solely on the version string they get back during their scan.  I've
seen
many similar issues with scanning for security vulnerabilities in open
source software where the vendor doesn't understand that distributors
like Red Hat backport security fixes into older releases of software. 
Qualys could, and perhaps should, maintain checksums of all the known
images.

It's not politics - it's a real weakness in both vendor's product sets.

  Both of them need to realize that secure systems can only happen
with
a partnership between the vendors and the customers.  All of us *MUST*
be able to accurately and definitively identify what version we're
running and what patches need to be applied.  If they continue to make
it hard, our systems *will* be vulnerable and we *will* blame the
vendor
for releasing products with security holes.  I can't ask the admins to
check 300 client systems and verify what versions they're running (and
they have to sign on to each box to do it) - the master server has to
talk to the friggin' client anyway and it should do the asking. 
That's
what computers are for.

The response I got from symantec is that the vulnerability has been
resolved and that they are not responsible for other companies'
software.
I don't know what Qualys response is because I am not a customer. I
asked our security group (the customer) to obtain an official response
from Qualys.

Qualys could, and perhaps should, maintain checksums of all the known 
images.

It's not politics - it's a real weakness in both vendor's product sets.

  Both of them need to realize that secure systems can only happen with

a partnership between the vendors and the customers.  All of us *MUST*

be able to accurately and definitively identify what version we're 
running and what patches need to be applied.  If they continue to make

it hard, our systems *will* be vulnerable and we *will* blame the
vendor 
for releasing products with security holes.  I can't ask the admins to

check 300 client systems and verify what versions they're running (and

they have to sign on to each box to do it) - the master server has to 
talk to the friggin' client anyway and it should do the asking.  That's

what computers are for.

They are unable to exploit it. 
The specail patch and/or subsequent MP's resolves the problem.
The problem is the software does not acknowledging that the resolution
has been accomplished.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Bpexpdate -deassignempty problem

2007-02-22 Thread Bob Stump

How to manually remove a tape completely from NetBackup/Media Manager.
http://support.veritas.com/docs/208420
 
Details:
First, if there are images on the tape, they need to be expired.  This
can be done by: 
 bpexpdate -ev  -d 0

This will not completely free up the tape if the tape is frozen or
suspended, so the command(s):
bpmedia -unfreeze -ev 
or
bpmedia -unsuspend -ev 
may be needed.

At this point there will be no image database entries for that tape and
the media database should show the tape as not assigned therefore
allowing the tape to be reused. However sometimes the image database and
the media manager database can be out of sync, and the tape may show as
still assigned, or if the tape has a NetBackup database backup on it,
there would be no image entry to begin with.  When a tape shows an
assigned date, but no images are related to that tape, it will show up
in the available_media report as dbbackup.  To tell if a tape actually
has a dbbackup on it, the command:
 vmquery -m mediaid
will show a status, where 0x0 means normal backups, 0x1 means NetBackup
database backup and 0x2 means Storage Migrator.
If it is 0x1, be certain this is not a database backup which will ever
be needed.
If it is 0x2, it is in use by Storage Migrator and understanding of the
use of the tape by Storage Migrator (not covered here) is required.

To free up the tape, when it has an assigned date but no images in the
database, the command:
vmquery -deassignbyid   
must be run, but the status will be displayed as 0x0, 0x1 or 0x2 and
needs to be just 0, 1 or 2 in the vmquery -deassignbyid.

At this point the tape is available to be used for backups.

If the tape was bad or destroyed and that is why it is being removed,
the command:
vmdelete -m 
will remove the last remnants of information about it from media
manager.

There are other options which may be specified for the above commands. 
Some are to specify server names, volume database host names, etc.  If
the NetBackup/Media Manager setup is complex, those options may be
needed.  The full paths to the commands mentioned are:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpexpdate
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpmedia
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/available_media
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmquery
usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmdelete
All but available_media have man pages.

Media SharingThe media sharing feature allows multiple NetBackup media servers 
to activelyshare a given tape media for write purposes. Media sharing reduces 
tapemedia-related expenses by enabling increased media utilization which in 
turnreduces amounts of partially full media and total number of tape media 
requiredto store a given amount of backup data. Media sharing reduces the 
vaultingrelated expenses because fewer pieces of media will need to be vaulted 
and fewerpieces of empty media will need to be placed into the scratch pool. 
Media sharingalso provides the ability to "hand off" a mounted tape to another 
media server,eliminating mount time for backup to different media servers.

It may take longer. It may take less time. It depends on the environments.
You basically have to read the original and write the copy.
Read and write using the same media server.
You do not have to have the original media server do the duplication.
You can use an alternate read host.

Is there a 3rd party solution that is compatible with NetBackup?


>>> "Steven L. Sesar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 1/22/2007 12:46 PM >>>

Teaming occurs at layer 2, layer 3 depending on implementation. That's
a negotiation between the NIC and the switch. I don't believe that NBU
has any provision to virtualize or treat two interfaces as one.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Starting a backup job manually from remote?

2007-01-09 Thread Bob Stump

One thing to remember is the retries selected in the "global attribute"
as the number of tries per hours, is not used for manual backups.
In other words, you get one shot at the backup. If it fails it will not
automatically retry on its own.

Just create a cron job (script) that
calls"/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpbackup"  with the parameters you need.

You will need to create a  user backup  policy on the Master server for
the client you are backing up.  You can have the 
script create the directory, call bpbackup and clean up afterwards. 
The bpbackup parameters are in the manual 
or on google.  Be sure to use the -w parameter so the job will wait
until the backup is done, and then your script will 
continue.

[Veritas-bu] Starting a backup job manually from remote?




Hello!

With NetBackup 5.1 on a Solaris master server, is it somehow
possible to start a backup policy manually from a remote client?

What I'd like to do:

I'd like to setup a Unix cron job somewhere (ie. not necessarily
on the master server). This cron job should do some stuff (like
populating a directory) and then make Veritas NetBackup start the
backup and after the backup, it should cleanup the directory which
has just been backed up. I fear that I cannot use the Veritas
NetBackup scheduler (cf. thread "Pre-/Post-Exec scripts with
NetBackup 5.1?").

Thanks a lot for any help,

Alexander Skwar
