[Veritas-bu] LTO3 and LTO2 compatibility
I need to send some tapes to a site with LTO2 drives. Unfortunately, we are running LTO3. Will they still be able to read these tapes? I realize this is the opposite of the compatibility matrix, but I've never tried this and haven't heard results from anyone else. If this won't work, if I duped them to LTO2 MEDIA, but still written from an LTO3 drive, would that be compatible with the LTO2 drives on the other end?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Change retention in all tapes in a policy
You can force the cleanup by doing: bpimage -cleanup -allclients And, it seems to me that you are changing ALL backups done by policy Users to retention level 8. If you have more than one schedule in this policy, they've all been changed to 1 year retention. So, if you have a daily backup you keep for two weeks, it is now at 1 year retention. Also, reading your email I noticed a possible typo. Your explanation said you created a custom retention level 6, but your command copy/paste said it was rl 8. Which is it? This could be a big difference, as in 1 year versus infinity!

Re: [Veritas-bu] Error 41
Create the logging directories on your client and set your logging on the client to the maximum. Run a test backup or wait for the scheduled backup to run and then look at your BPBKAR log. If that log contains TCP 100052 or 100053 delays, you may have a bad network card or network card driver. if this is the case, I would start with upgrading the driver. If that doesn't fix it, Veritas Support has an application you can run that will examine the network and can tell you if you have any strange things happening on the path between the client and media server. Also, a 41 can occur if the box is rebooting or loosing the network connection during backups. Verify that isn't happening.

Re: [Veritas-bu] BPCLNTCMD -HN truncates IP address
Just got this from support: We recently identified a defect in the 5.1 MP6 version of bpclntcmd. When an IP address is greater than 13 characters, the IP address will be truncated to 13 characters in length. Note that the number of characters is including the dots or separators between the octets. This issue will be addressed in a future release. While this has caused us a great deal of confusion when attempting to troubleshoot suspected name-resolution issues, it does not appear to have any affect on the ability to back up or restore. So, it appears that it's just a cosmetic issue and does not effect the backups/restores/functionality within NetBackup. In my case, the two servers I was having problems with have been backing up successfully. I now believe it may have just been coincidence or some other network issue that was causing these servers to have backup problems, and suspect this to be the same issue with others who may be having problems. -Rusty -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Weber, Philip Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 10:39 AM To: ENAJ (Ena Jensen); veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] BPCLNTCMD -HN truncates IP address I'd never seen this before but funnily enough just tripped over it on a couple of clients I'm moving from NBU 4.5MP9 master to 5.1MP6 master.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Aptare and NBU reports not matching up ???
Phil, There is an issue with 5.1MP6 that requires a replacement library file. In my experience after I upgraded to MP6, this caused ALL jobs (not just one or two like you mentioned) to not capture total MB, MB/s, # files and tapes used. I don't believe there is a docid, but you can reference my case number 280-994-548 if you think this might be your problem. Be warned that if the images have already expired, there's no way for Aptare to go back and get the job info (obviously). -Rusty From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Philip McDougal Sent: Friday, March 09, 2007 5:16 PM To: Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Aptare and NBU reports not matching up ??? Hello All, I am having a problem with my Aptare reports not catching all the data (or not processing the data) that is occurring in my NetBackup jobs. I had 2 clients initially fail with a Status (14), then they retried a 2nd time and were successfully backed up. However, when I check out the Aptare report, it only recognizes the first attempt and therefore shows only 0-Bytes and a Successful backup for the job. It seems like it doesn't recognize the information or details from the Netbackup retry. This has happened more than once for me and support is a little stumped. I'm wondering if anyone else has witnessed this behavior or if I'm missing a configuration setting. I have set the ignore retries setting for the browser reports but this shows up when I turn it off and from my custom XML reports as well. Any insight would be great! Thanks, Phil.

[Veritas-bu] Sort of OT: Aptare/HBSM/3rd Party NBU Reporting Users MUST READ
Just a heads up for those using 3rd party reporting/trending tools who are on or plan to upgrade to 5.1MP6: There is a bug in a library file in 5.1 MP6 that will cause Aptare StorageConsole/HBSM (Hitachi's rebranded name of the product), possibly other reporting tools and maybe even the included NBU tools (bpdbjobs, etc.) to not collect, at a minimum, total MB, MB/s, and tapes written for all/most jobs. To my knowledge this has only affected a couple of other Aptare customers, but it has certainly caused me lots of pain and I still have several weeks of missing info. Quoting the engineer when I asked him about any data loss, The data is stored correctly in the appropriate NetBackup databases. Any reporting tools that rely on libVcom such as bpdbjobs, will truncate date and time output information until the fix is applied. My case number with Veritas/Symantec for this issue was 280-994-548. If you plan on upgrading to 5.1 MP6 and use any 3rd party reporting tool, especially Aptare/HBSM, make sure you get the updated library file from Veritas. Since applying the Veritas fix, all data has been gathered correctly.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Multiple copies and restores..
1)Restores are always done from the primary copy. 2)Assuming your example still holds true, if the current primary copy is removed (as in exported/vaulted, damaged, lost, etc.), you will need to promote another copy to primary for restores to work. Unless you mean that the existing primary has expired, then copy 2 becomes copy 1 (primary) and copy 3 now becomes copy 2 and you won't have to do anything for this scenario.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6.0 Performance Very Slow
You can try to break up the sets of data into multiple streams to get the speed up. For example:New Stream M:\directory1\ M:\directory2\ New Stream M:\directory3\ New Stream M:\directory4\ and so on. Of course you'd need to do some research and make sure that you divide up the streams into even chunks of data. You can also use wildcards if your directory structure is large. Review the Manuals for more info on using multiple streams and wildcards. You also said that this is a Media Server. Have you presented tape drives to this server and setup a storage unit? If so, is the policy using this storage unit? The speeds you've stated lead me to believe that the backup is occurring over the network instead of SCSI or FC. Taking advantage of a storage unit on this media server will be your biggest increase in speed if you aren't doing that already. -Rusty From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ganapathy GSent: Monday, September 11, 2006 6:34 AMTo: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.eduSubject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6.0 Performance Very Slow Recently I Installed Netbackup 6.0 MP3 in our environment with the following architecture. 1 Master Server and 2 Media Server.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Volume Pools [recommendations please]
Why is it bad practice? I don't understand the big deal about not separating different retentions to different pools? If they all use the same pool, they are separated automatically, you just can't 'see' it. If it's just for visual peace of mind, then I understand. In a shop where we have multiple sites with multiple customers (450+) who each have at least one volume pool, it's becoming imperative to 'downsize' into much fewer pools, and we will let multiple retentions go to the same pool (not to be confused with mixing them on the same tape). -Rusty -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Markham Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2006 11:35 AM To: Paul Keating Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Volume Pools [recommendations please] Correct.

But since we are Solaris, I'm having trouble verifying the device file is pointing to the right drive/serial number. Veritas has a technote here: http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/193280.htmbut that is the extremely lengthy way to do it.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Windows backup failing to Unix Server - Succeeds to Windows server
Title: Windows backup failing to Unix Server - Succeeds to Windows server All serversshould be defined in bp.conf on the Unix Master server, no matter what OS.

Our Windows Admin has attempted to setup a Windows machine to be backed up by our Unix Master. When he does he gets a Status 59 which means the server isnt recognized by the client. When he uses his Windows Master to do this it goes just fine. Per the troubleshooting we turned on logging on the client. In the bprd log we see lines like: bpcd valid_server: comparing cthroat.water.com and atubks01.dsw.net. atubks01.dsw.net is the name of the Unix server. cthroat.water.com was our old server and that address has been aliased to point to the new server. After the initial statements we see bcd valid_server hostname comparison succeeded so that seems good. Later in the log though I see it comparing the Windows Master to my main Production DB server which is confusing because: 1) Weve told it to use the Unix Master which doesnt know about the Windows Master. 2) It says the Production DB server is not a server (presumably meaning master) which is true but also says not a media server which is NOT true. If this were Unix Id think he had odd entries in bp.conf that needed to be changed. However I dont know Windows and didnt see anything called bp.conf when doing an explore of the Netbackup directory there. Any ideas on what I could check? The troubleshooting guide makes it clear this is an issue with the client recognizing the server not vice-versa so I need some idea what to check on the Windows side. Jeffrey C.
