My shell scripting is shaky at best so I'm hoping that one of you may be
able to help me out.

 

I'm wondering how I would go about editing the
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/backup_exit_notify.sh script so that it doesn't
inform me via email of successfully completed backups.  Basically I'm
only interested in backups that complete with a 1 or higher.

 

I have modified our bp.conf to keep 3 months of jobs in the activity
monitor so will be able to check here for successful backups.  I really
only need to be informed if a backup has failed.

 

Thanks in advance,

[Veritas-bu] Ejecting media from ACS using a script.

[Fernandes, Eustace]

Tape Library ACS  SL8500
Procedure  
1. Produce eject list and eject using vmchange (done this and works
fine)
2. Physically remove media from the cap
3. produce report that matches the actual media removed from the cap
(currently there may be a discrepancy between the eject list and what
was actually in the cap. 

Challenges 
How can I check the contents of the cap from the script?
OR
What command can I use in a script to inventory the ACS  SL8500 Tape
Library after the media is removed from the cap
Then I can do a diff between the eject list and what is still in the
library, which should give me a list of what was actually ejected. 
Any ideas

Hi Eustace

 

Changing the retention of a policy never affects existing backups. If
you want to change the retention for already written images you have to
use 

 

bpexpdate -recalculate -backupid backup_id -copy number -ret
retention_level

Here is a thread of another person having a similar issue and what he

I am trying to add another volume pool to my environment today, and it
failed with an EMM Database Error(196).  I've searched through google
and support, but don't anything that pertains to this.  What I did find
with vxlogview is this:

4/13/2006 09:20:35.385 V-111-1049
[MachineConfigImpl::helperQueryNbpushdataConfig] EMMServer generic error
= nbpushdata must be run to complete the upgrade
4/13/2006 09:20:35.385 V-111-1049 [MediaPoolImpl::CreateMediaPool]
EMMServer generic error = cannot add media pools until nbpushdata has
been run

I've been running for a while at MP2.  Why would I need to run
nbpushdata?  I've been dealing with this for several days, and earlier
ran nbpushdata, which created more problems that it fixed.  I'm back
today with a catalog restore, but back with the Volume Pool error.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Jason

I also have just found from where my headaches came: the voldb in
volmgr\database has some old volume information in it.  There are old
volume pools with tapes assigned that we long ago deleted.  That's where
my messed up media came from.  Any ideas of how to run nbpushdata
without corrupting all I have now?

[Veritas-bu] Recovery server with media and volume info

[Fernandes, Eustace]

Title: Recovery server with media and volume info






Objective to do a bpmedialist and vmquery -a on a new servre (same name) using old servers *DB files.

I lost all my EMM information shortly after I upgraded to 6.0 and would like to know how I could use the old 4.5 DB info to list my volumes and media

I have mediaDB volDB glogBD poolBD ruleDB from 4.5 MP6 

I re-installed 4.5 MP6 on another server (same name as the original)

Then copied the DB files to the new system (same host name where the copy DB files came from)

However netbackup does not start, errors daabase auto-upgrade failed: invalid database version header (56)

Also when I try and tpconfig to add drives, I get error could not get GlobalDB host info.

Any ideas  .. I would like to recover my media and volume on a new server(same name as the DB files)

RE: [Veritas-bu] Inline tape copy slow

[Fernandes, Eustace]

Title: Message



thanks for your reply.
30mb/sec that is double the speed I get for a normal backup 
to a single tape
what version of Netbackup are you 
running?
what speed are you getting for a normal backup, non-ITC? is 
it approx 30mb/sec?
 
Did you tweak buffers or anything in /etc/system, 
etc.. to get this to work?
NET_BUFFER_SZ  = 26214
NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS = 32
SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS = 65536
don't know if these are related but I'll mention them just 
in case ./db/config   shm and ENABLE_SCSI_RESERVE
 
I am consistently getting 8 mb/sec on ITC independent of 
what pair of drives are used, but 16mb/sec for duplication and normal 
backup(single tape)
Any ideas? .. could it be the LTO drives Vs 
SDLT320?

I'm 
using ITC.
 
Second 
copy is 20 miles across town via FC over DWDM.
 
both 
targets are STK L700e loaded with Native FC IBM LTO2 drives, connected via 
SanBox2 Sun (QLogic) switches (Soon to be replaced with Brocade 3800s surplused 
from another project) and Sun (QLogic) X6768A HBAs
 
Can 
write 30+ MB/s to two tapes simultaneously.performance hit over a 
single drive is negligible.
 
Are 
you doing correct benchmarked tests that aren't being affected by other 
influences?
i.e., 
with no other backup or restore jobs running, you're backing up the same 
machine (same data set, same network connectivity, etc, etc) twice, each time 
to a single drive, to each of the two drives (eliminate the 
possibility that one particular drive you're only using in the ITC config 
isn't the problem) you will use for the ITC job, then repeating the exact same 
job using ITC to the 2 identical tape drives?

RE: [Veritas-bu] multiple tape format in one library??????

[Fernandes, Eustace]

Title: Message



question you change type in the volDB to match the 
available SU?, i.e. 
if you want to do restore from a tape that is marked as 
type DLT2 and the UNIT did not exist, can you 
change the volDB info to reflect its now a DLT3 to match 
the currently available SU with type DLT3?

No 
problem with that.  That's the right way.  
 
By the 
way, LTO3==HCART3 is just a convenience.  There's no coorelation between 
the "3"'s in those names.  You could configure them as HCART (or DLT2) for 
all Netbackup cares.  NB just matches the type in the VolDB with the type 
on the STU.

  5.0
   
  already have multiple stu's, for another reasonnot a problem 
  there.
   
  Thanks to Samuel, I think I got what i needed.will configure 
  the drives and media as different formats ( LTO2 -> HCART2  and LTO3 
  -> HCART3) and create a new storage unit for the HCART3 
  format.
   
  anyone see a prob with that?

What 
version of NetBackup are using? There was a bug in 4.5MP6 that didn't allow 
multiple storage units for a media server from the GUI, you can still do it 
from the command  line.

  veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.eduSubject: [Veritas-bu] multiple

  Is anyone 
  using multiple tape/tape drive formats in one library with a single media 
  server?
   
  for 
  example:
   
  one server, 
  one library
  some LTO2 
  drives, some LTO3 drives.
   
  how do you 
  manage it? can't (from what I can tell) assign each type of drive to a 
  different storage unit (without a second media 
server).
  Do you have 
  both types of tapes, and let NBU assign jobs and tapes to drives as it 
  pleases?
   
  I want to 
  avoid my LTO2 tapes being loaded into LTO3 drives and being written so 
  that they can no longer be used in an LTO2 drive.
   
  Also, I'd like 
  to send slower (100mb/s) clients to LTO2 drives, and GigE clients to LTO3, 
  etc.
   
  best way I can 
  see to do that is to add another library for the LTO3 drives, so that 
  there's a separate storage units with just those drives, OR add a second 
  media server, and configure zones to allow each media server to only see 
  one type of drive.
