Re: [Veritas-bu] Which is Best for My NetBackup Master - 32
Ed, I think you misunderstood. "The next thing you should do is determine where your pagefile is located on physical drives. Ideally it should be local (not on a SAN drive) and should not exist on the same physical drive as the operating system. An exception to this could be if you have raid on the local disk." What I meant to convey is that if you have 2 physical disks and one is C: and one is D:, and the OS is installed on C:, you'd want your pagefile on D: The reference to an array was meant to reference the fact that, as an example, if you have 5 disk in a RAID 5 array, and C: and D: were both on that array, it wouldn't matter which logical volume the pagefile resided on. The same would hold true for a mirrored pair.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Which is Best for My NetBackup Master - 32
Karthikeyan, An easy thing to do is to look at the performance tab of Task Manager during a time of heavy usage. There you will get an idea of how the cpu load is distributed, and what your memory utilization looks like. It's just a snapshot in time, but it's a good place to start. If you want more data, you can use Perfmon. The next thing you should do is determine where your pagefile is located on physical drives. Ideally it should be local (not on a SAN drive) and should not exist on the same physical drive as the operating system. An exception to this could be if you have raid on the local disk. Next look at the size and settings of the pagefile. You may want to play with this setting a little to find out how it behaves in your environment. One setting to test is to reduce the pagefile size to something small enough that it is just big enough to hold dumps created when something goes wrong. Set this to be static. That is, the maximum and minimum size for the pagefile are the same number. If the pagefile was originally set to be dynamic (different maximum or minimum sizes), you may want to first delete the pagefile, reboot, and defrag before creating the new static pagefile. This could potentially assist in making the pagefile more contiguous on disk. After each modification, check performance in Task Manager during the same period of heavy usage and see if the sustained memory utilization has increased with the modified pagefile parameters. I've included an excerpt from the Windows 2003 Server help. Some of the information agrees with what I wrote above, and some may appear to contradict. My recommendations are based on various experiences in my environment. As always, "Your mileage may vary". Only testing will reveal what is best in your environment. Good luck, Kent Eagle MTS Infrastructure Engineer II, MCP, MCSE Tech Services / SMSS "Managing computer memory When your computer is running low on RAM and more is needed immediately, Windows uses hard drive space to simulate system RAM. This is known as virtual memory, and is often called the paging file. The paging file is similar to the UNIX swapfile. The default size of the virtual memory page file (named pagefile.sys) created during installation is 1.5 times the amount of RAM on your computer. You can optimize virtual memory use by dividing the space between multiple drives and removing it from slower or heavily accessed drives. To best optimize your virtual memory space, divide it among as many physical hard drives as possible. When selecting drives, keep the following guidelines in mind: Try to avoid having a page file on the same drive as the system files. Avoid putting a page file on a fault-tolerant drive, such as a mirrored volume or a RAID-5 volume. Page files do not need fault-tolerance, and some fault-tolerant systems suffer from slow data writes because they write data to multiple locations. Do not place multipage filesiles on different partitions on the same physical disk drive. You can choose to optimize your computer's memory usage. If you use your computer primarily as a workstation, rather than as a server, you can devote more memory to your programs. Your programs will work faster and your system cache size will be the default size that came with Windows. If your computer is used primarily as a server, or if you use programs that require a larger cache, you can choose to set aside more computer memory for a larger system cache."

Re: [Veritas-bu] Encrypting offsite tapes
Hello Rongsheng, I think there may also be a 4th option, though potentially more expensive than an appliance solution if you don't already have the hardware- IF you have LTO4 at your primary site and you either have (or don't need) LTO4 read capability at your offsite: You could create a policy that calls on a vault profile that duplicates the tape using hardware based encryption. The caveat here is you would need to worry about EKM (Encryption Key Management) and the fact that encrypted data doesn't compress quite the same as unencrypted data. This could lead to slightly increased tape utilization. FWIW: We are not currently using LTO4. We tested software based encryption and found the system overhead and tape utilization prohibitive. We wound up with an appliance based solution that is actually quite fast, but short of getting off tape all together, I'm looking forward to LTO4. -Kent -- Message: 18 Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2008 11:52:07 -0600 From: "Ed Wilts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Encrypting offsite tapes To: "Rongsheng Fang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" You have 3 separate options: 1. Client-based encryption. Free with 6.5 (and you may be able to get free licenses for 6.0 if you're under maintenance). Adds a load to each and every client. From what I've heard, it's not pretty. 2. Media-server based encryption. Puts the load on the media servers instead. 3. Encryption appliance. Not cheap, but they encrypt at wire speed while writing to the tape drives. Decru, now owned by NetApp, is the current market leader. Brocade is also now partnering with NetApp to build the next generation - basically a Decru encryption appliance built into a 32-port Brocade switch. Not even close to cheap :-) We chose option 3 and have Decru appliances in front of all our tape drives. Everything that's written to tape is automatically encrypted - we don't need to think about it.

Re: [Veritas-bu] A cautionary tale about media vendors (cont'd).
Back in the bad old DLT IV days - We had a media vendor beating down our door; touting low cost media, and offering to buy our old media, sell us used, or both. They too claimed that they would destroy all the old data via a multi-step process, while maintaining a comprehensive "chain of custody" for all our old media. I wasn't sold on the idea, and didn't want to buy used. They kept cold calling and emailing until they got around me; and they finally came in with a price so low on "new media" that management said that even though I had purchasing authority in the past (no problems with media or vendor), they were going to try these guys. I said that was fine, as long as it was NEW MEDIA. I even called the vendor's sales weenie beforehand, and let him know that the purchase of this media was time sensitive,(don't you LOVE "Just in Time" inventories?) and that they had just one shot to "get it right". Our shipment arrived, and some of the tapes looked like they'd been through a coffee grinder. There were even post-it notes and permanent marker writing on some of the tapes indicating their vol-ser's and contents, etc! All the seals on the tape cases were broken, and worn. NOT ONE of the tapes was new. I checked the tapes and, you guessed it, the original customer's data was still on them! I called the vendor's sales weenie and gave him an ear full! He was far less than apologetic, and didn't seem to have the good sense to at least pretend to be embarrassed. He stated they were using a new supplier and decided to try them on our order. When I asked why they didn't catch the fact that they were used at their office he stated they were dropped shipped to us without ever going through the parent company first! Nice way to handle a brand new, cautious account... Needless to say, I didn't again, haven't since, and won't ever use that vendor for anything I have purchasing authority for! E-V-E-R!!!

Jeff, The mix was deliberate. Please re-read my post & it should become evident as to why. There was no implication that someone stated they had experienced data loss. In fact, nothing in my post is really speaking to dedupe or data loss. It's about the posts themselves... - Kent -Original Message- From: Jeff Lightner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2007 12:36 PM To: Eagle, Kent; Curtis Preston; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Tapeless backup environments Not an attack - just a question: Did someone in this thread say they HAD experienced data loss due to deduplication?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Tapeless backup environments
Sorry, but I just can't keep from jumping in at this point. Not taking either side, but... Are you seriously suggesting that a quote from "Wikipedia" constitutes empirical scientific research? I could place a posting on there that either concurs with, or totally rejects the position of that posting; and someone else would come along and claim it as gospel. I would be the first to admit that "bob944" has made more than a few posts that have "pushed my chair back a couple inches", but at least they made me THINK! Saying " This is the part where I believe you've made your mind up already. You're saying that no matter what the entire world is saying -- no matter what the numbers are, you're not going to accept hash-based de-dupe. Fine! That's why there are vendors that don't use hashes to de-dupe data. Buy one of those instead." Is pretty gutsy since you have another post within the past few days stating you're ready to RETRACT what you already blogged on this, or blogged on that. Wouldn't THAT be saying that up until that point, YOU WERE SAYING "that no matter what the entire world is saying -- no matter what the numbers are, you're not going to accept..." If I am asked to restore something for the CEO, and can't, it won't matter a hill of beans what all the theory was and what the odds were. I either can, or I can't. I'll be accountable for that result, and why I got it. As someone so accurately posted recently: We're in the recovery business, not the restore business. I would thing that almost everyone on this forum does some kind of pilot before rolling something out into production. I hope I'm wrong. I love to learn. I'm actually signed up for one of your classes next week. But, if quoting everyone else's posts/blogs/Wikipedia entries, etc. without backing up re-posting them with empirical evidence or firsthand testing is your program agenda, I will skip the engagement...

To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" At the risk of chasing windmills, I will continue to try to have this discussion, although it appears to me that you're already made up your mind. I again say that no one is saying that hash collisions can't happen. We are simply saying that the odds of them happening are astromically less than having an undetected/uncorrected bit error on tape. And I believe that the math that I use in my blog post illustrates this. I said: > As promised, I looked into applying the Birthday Paradox > logic to de-duplication. I blogged about my results here: > > http://www.backupcentral.com/content/view/145/47/ > > Long and short of it: If you've got less than 95 Exabytes of > data, I think you'll be OK. Bob944 said: >>One of us still doesn't understand this. :-) Got that right. :-) >>Your blog raises a red herring in misunderstanding or misrepresenting >>the applicability of Birthday Paradox. I completely disagree. If you read the Birthday Paradox entry on Wikipedia, it specifically explains how the Birthday Paradox applies in this case. All the BP says is that the odds of a "clash" (i.e. a birthday match or a hash collision) in an environment increase with the number of elements in the set, and that the odds increase faster than you think: * The odds of two people in the same room having the same birthday increase with the number of people in the room. If there are only two people in the room, those odds will be roughly 1 in 365, or .27% (leap year aside). If there are 23 people in the room, the odds are 50%. * The odds of two DIFFERENT blocks having the same hash (i.e. a hash collision) increase with the number of blocks in the data set If there are two blocks in the set, the odds are 1 in 2^160. If there are less than 12.7 quintillion blocks in the data set, the odds don't show up in a percentage calculated out to 50 decimal places. As soon as you have more than 12.7 quintillion blocks, the odds at least register in 50 decimal places, but are still really small. And to get 12.7 quintillion blocks, you need to store at least 95 Exabytes of data. >The number of possible values in >BP is 366; there is no data reduction in it, no key values. An >algorithm which reduced the 366 possibilities the same way that hashing >8KB down to 160 bits would yield infinitesimal keys smaller than one >bit, an absurdity.

Doug, We have also seen these errors occur in the manner you describe.

Re: [Veritas-bu] excluding a single host
There is also another wrinkle to this methodology (at least in versions prior to 6.0) that I don't think has been discussed yet - If you remove the client from the policy, and the client only lived in that one policy, you have lost all your client host properties (exclusions, email addresses, etc.). One way to prevent this is to first add the client to a "temporary" or "holding" policy which you can deactivate or blank the schedules if you wish. When you add the client back to it's original policy, all your client host properties have been preserved. As long as the client goes back to it's original policy, you also have it's prior backups that are still in the catalog for it to reference for CINC or Diff backups.

Greetings, Is anyone running Sun StorageTek Business Analytics 5.1 (formerly known as GSM) on a Windows 2003 NBU 6.0 Master server? Sun is supporting up to NBU 5.1 on W2K and W2K3 Master servers, but are saying they need you to switch to a Solaris Master in order for Sun StorageTek Business Analytics 5.1 to run on an NBU 6.0 Master.

[Veritas-bu] NO_SIXTEEN_BYTE_CDB touch file. Anyone else need this?
Environment: NBU Enterprise 6.0 MP3 Master Server - Windows Server 2003 SP1 HBA Emulex LightPulse LP11002-E Media Servers - Windows Server 2003 SP1 HBA Emulex LightPulse LP1 Encryption -NeoScale CrypoStor FC702. Firmware fc-2.3.2-Build3 Library - ADIC (Quantum) i2000. Firmware 4.4.2 Drives - IBM FC LTO2 (IBM Ultrium-TD2). Driver 6.0.7.1 Drive Firmware 5AT0 The issue: After a firmware upgrade on the i2000 and the CryptoStor's to the levels noted above, all jobs using the Master server as the Media server would fail with Exit Status 84. All jobs submitted to the Media servers ran without incident. The only common denominator seems to be that the Master server has Emulex LightPulse LP11002-E HBA's, and the Media servers run Emulex LightPulse LP1 HBA's. The solution provided by NeoScale was to utilize the following touch file on the Master: < install_dir >\ Volmgr\ database\ NO_SIXTEEN_BYTE_CDB " touch file. This fixed the problem, but to this day no one seems to really know why. There is an active case open with all 3 hardware vendors. The following Tech Note was offered as a partial explanation; but it falls short of being directly applicable to our problem/environment (we are running FC LTO2's, not AIT-4). http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/281312.htm I can't help but think this environment is not all that unique. Is anyone else running this configuration, and if so, do you have to use the touch file?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Symantec ?!Support?!
Patrick, One additional benefit of opening the case via email support is that when you get the confirmation email, you generally get a case number. Having run the gauntlet of Veritas/Symantec Tech Support numerous times in the past, I've learned to call support with the "existing case number" in hand, and then have the call escalated if it's not moving along at an appropriate pace.

Re: [Veritas-bu] DataDomain ddr460 restorer storage unit setup
Hi Jamie, We've been using a DD460 for a while now with great success. Compression/de-duplication, or whatever you want to call it, does indeed get better over time. One note of caution I'd throw your way is to ensure that your DD460 is setup properly to send the daily alert summaries and daily auto-support logs to Data Domain Tech support ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Additionally, support is based on the West Coast of the US. If you're not in that time zone, I'd strongly suggest you get set up to have the emails sent to your local support rep as well. We're on the East Coast, and had a couple bad drives that waited a good deal to get addressed because of the time differential. Otherwise, great solution at the price point! Kent C.

Backups will go to a DDR460 restorer with a three week retention and from there will be duplicated to tape and also replicated to DDR460 restorers at a remote DR site. Right now I have one storage unit created on each of my DDR460s with the maximum concurrent job parameter set to 16 jobs. On my tape based storage units I have "maximum concurrent drives used for backup" set to 6 and "maximum multiplexing per drive" set to 6., so in theory things are roughly equivalent. I have a higher concurrent job number set on my disk storage units, based on DataDomain's recommendation to make up for the fact that we don't multiplex backups to the DDR460. Is anyone else using these and if so do you have any suggestions? So far the technology is working pretty well and now I'm ready to do a full-up test to see how well it handles our entire backup load.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Does CryptoStor Tape play nice with SSO?
Jason, We've been using several CryptoStor FC702 models for over a year now. Our shop is Win2K3 Master & Media servers, with 7 FC LTO2 drives in a robot. They are all SSO. We chose the CryptoStor product over the others we were evaluating primarily on the simplicity of their key management strategy. The bonus was, letting the CryptoStor do the compression (encrypted data doesn't compress at the drive), we got better compression than when the drives were doing the compression! We have also used the SCSI version, which is the SC502. My recommendation for anyone entertaining a CryptoStor in a SCSI environment is to use the Fiber Channel based FC702 with a Fiber to SCSI bridge (NeoScale may still offer a special bundle with a Crossroads bridge). You also only get AES256 in the 702 as opposed to the 502. Support has been good to date.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Media write error at NDMP
Yoseph, The CDB issue in this technote relates directly to SCSI commands/calls, and NDMP so I feel it may still be appropriate for you to investigate this. As I mentioned, my environment was also divided between master server and media server, but we only experienced the problem on the master. The nice thing about the touch files is you don't even have to cycle services. I believe you can create them anytime (except when a catalog is running). It just "reads" it when the next backup launches. You can delete it when NetBackup isn't doing anything. If you're not comfortable with the proposed solution, I would strongly suggest opening a call with Symantec support to get their input. There may be a better way.

[Veritas-bu] New 6.0MP3 Master server, old 5.1MP3 Media server
I haven't been able to find the answer to this question in the SAG... We have an existing windows 5.1MP3 environment with 1 Master and 1 Media server. We are tossing our catalog (only 2 weeks right now) so we don't intend to do an NBPushdata. We want to take the existing Master off the network, then build a 6.0MP3 Master server on new hardware using the same IP address and DNS name, "discovering" the Media server and storage units. Because of a short maintenance window, we want to then take the new Master off the network, and put the old one back in service until the next maintenance window. This will allow us to rebuild the policies against all needed storage units, volume pools, etc. off line. We'll add the clients into the policies during the next maintenance window. We've know how to handle all the WWN/alias parameters in the fabric, and can deal with the changing windows SID, and MAC addrs for the NIC's. What I need to ensure is that the 5.1MP3 media server will still be viable after the new Master is built if the old 5.1 Master has to go back into play if things go bad or we run out of time. We intend to create the volume group and pools on the new server (so they can be added to the policies off line), but do not want to add any volumes to ensure the Media servers (or old Master server, if it has to be re-instated) media manager database doesn't get confused. How does an NBU 6.0MP3 Master handle the volumes assigned to an 5.1MP3 Media server? Does the 6.0 Master take "ownership", or does the 5.1MP3 media still have it's database? Thank you, Kent C.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Restoring Windows shared folders
Tony, The Share itself is more an object or property of Active Directory than a file attribute. As long as the share properties (share name, path, etc.) and permissions have remained the same, you'll get the folder back, including any NTFS references to it being shared, when you do your restore. If the share has been deleted from Active Directory your restore will only yield a folder. Does this help?

[Veritas-bu] NetBackup 6.0 MP2 post install errors
Greetings, Has anyone encountered the following error when attempting to launch the Administration Console after an installation of NetBackup 6.0 MP2? "Adaptive Server Anywhere Network Server encountered a problem and needed to close." Clicking "OK" in the error dialog for the error above yields another message that states the EMM database is trying to start. It fails, and brings up the EMM message again. Clicking OK again seems to work as the admin console finally starts up and you can see job history. However, there is NOTHING displayed in the topology view. Checking the services on the Master Server shows the "Adaptive Server Anywhere - VERITAS_NB" service is set to automatic, but has not started, and it's status field is blank. All NetBackup services are started with the exception of Vault Manager. Manually starting the Server Anywhere - VERITAS_NB service is successful. If you then close the Admin Console and double click the icon to reopen it, the Server Anywhere - VERITAS_NB service stops, (status is blank) and the whole process repeats. Environment: NetBackup 6.0 MP2 on W2K3 Compaq Proliant 8000 with 4/700 Mhz Xeon processors, 3 Gigs RAM. ADIC s24 with 2 SCSI SDLT drives. All firmware, drivers, microcode, and patches are up to date. NetBackup 5.1 MP3 was uninstalled from this machine. It was rebooted, and any remaining references to NetBackup were removed from the file system prior to the install.

[Veritas-bu] re: ADIC i2000 Scaler Robot and LTO3 Drives
Hi Diane, We have an i2000, but have not installed an expansion cabinet yet, which it sounds like you have. My suggestion would be to check the ADIC console in partition view to see if the partitioning for the slots in the extended area you’re trying to use for NetBackup are defined correctly. BTW – Have you called ADIC about this yet? We’ve received EXCELLENT turnaround from them on the few issues we’ve had… Good luck, Kent C.

[Veritas-bu] Identifying vault duplication tapes
NB 5.1 MP3 W2K Master & Media servers. I've got a couple clients that write their primary copy to disk. There are a couple different policies that do this. We've got an early am off-site requirement that precludes waiting until we run our am vault eject profiles to do the duplication. So, what we've done is create a policy that calls for/runs a vault profile that runs the duplication from disk to tape. It is scheduled to ensure it will run after the jobs that write to disk have completed. We will be keeping the tapes off site longer than the job history is maintained in the activity monitor. The issue I've identified is that since the policy does not write to the tape (it's the vault process that actually writes to tape), the recovery report does not show what tape was used for the policy/client. The duplication job will show the tape(s) used in the activity monitor until they roll off. I thought to narrow it down by using a unique volume pool for those jobs, but it still wouldn't identify what tape you needed for a specific policy client, and if we increase the number of policies/clients being backed up to disk in this manner, the unique pool method would be too much to sort through. My question is: How can we generate a report to be included with the off-site tapes to identify the tapes created by the duplication process as described above? Thanks, Kent C.

[Veritas-bu] Duplication job killing NB Catalog job
Greetings, Windoze 2K3 Master & 2 Media servers, NetBackup 5.1MP3 SSO, ADIC I2000 fiber LTO2. I have 2 interrelated questions: 1. We have 2 clients being backed up to the same DSU. The clients reside in independent policies, but are often running concurrently, for at least part of their active time. We have a duplication job we've set up as a vault profile to duplicate the images to tapes. The profile is currently being launched manually by an operator when they see both jobs have completed. I would like to automate this process, but can't find any verbose notes on bpend_notify.bat, which I think will do what I want? (P.S. - Windoze isn't my choice: I'm fairly familiar with batch files & not afraid of the CLI ;-) 2. Other backups are running and completing while the process above is transpiring. We've noticed that if all other jobs but the duplication process have completed, NetBackup will attempt to run a catalog backup. This results in a failure of the catalog backup with a "124" error which says the one of directories was not available for backup. My guess is it's one of the Master Servers catalog paths as it's still running the duplication process. Manually running the catalog after this scenario is always successful. If the duplication process and all other jobs have completed the catalog backup is always successful. Is there a way to have NetBackup treat the duplication step like a regular backup job so it will not attempt a catalog backup during the dup? I can't figure out why NB thinks the schema is quiesed when this process is still running? We could try to script it to run after the duplication process, but the duplication process wouldn't necessarily always be the last job to run (due to growth, we might have other backups still running after duplication has completed).

RE: [Veritas-bu] error code 134
Hi Frank, I don't think you have yet stated what NB version you're on or what OS you're using? We experienced jobs failing with 134's instead of 196's after upgrading our Master & Media servers to 5.1 MP2 on Win2K. The issue was fixed by upgrading to 5.1 MP3(It also fixed exit status 41 errors we were getting when backing up servers that were running Legato Diskxtender). You'll probably want to upgrade straight to 5.1 MP3A, to fix the Java vulnerability, if this applies to you. Good luck, Kent C.

Also, you may notice 134 when there is no storage unit readily available, meaning in use by another backup/restore job when the backup starts; however, this should go away when the resource becomes available. I have noticed that the if the job opens without a resource available and then the start window closes before the resource becomes available you will get the 134 error instead of the expected 196.
