Re: [Veritas-bu] Sun Trunking vs. Redhat Linux ???
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Yes, it is called bonding. It has several options for configuration, you would be looking at running it in a load balancing configuration with LACP, the /etc/modprobe.conf settings for that would be something like: options bond0 lacp_rate=1 mode=4 miimon=100 But this will also depend on your switch vendor. I've only used two(2) NICs in a trunk, so I would imagine you have some testing ahead of you to not only get it to function as you wish, but also get the desired throughput.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Question Regarding Linux 2.6 kernel udev rules for tape devices
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The option in the vm.conf ENABLE_AUTO_PATH_CORRECTION will take care of what you need between reboots as it has reconfigured without issue for me with a 2.6 AMD64 kernel for more that 2 years. So if all underlying drivers and SANs have been configured correctly, then a /dev/nst# set of character devices have been created. Once you configure them in the gui or tpconfig, NBU will perform a scsi query and attach the outputed serial number to that tape devices. With the above configuration option, it will adjust the tape name to the new /dev/nst# on reboot if there was a change. If you want to go down the route of udev, the default configuration will point to /dev/tape%e but the NBU tape drive configuration tools I don't think will recognize anything but the no rewind devices (/dev/nst?) format although I've never tried. It looks like you may be on a RH4 based on your kernel version. FYI, the udev and multipathd implementation in RH5 was cleaned up quite a bit from and admin's management perspective.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Linux tape discovery / cleanup
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Yes, several differences. Adding and removing simple SCSI devices has turned out to be easy enough in Linux. The complexities of multipathing software and volume management tools makes removing devices more difficult, but Linux isn't the only one that suffers from that. Take note that one thing I do miss in Linux is that the iostat command does not have the ability to show tape devices and their utilization which I find very useful in the world of NBU. If the tape device is fibre channel, then you can get some of that depending on the HBA model and the driver version and if its through a switch, you can get it from there as well. Still not the same.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Linux tape discovery / cleanup
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Lots of data on Google for this. You can remove/add scsi devices at different levels. You can always remove (unload) the module for the SCSI/FC driver and reload it as long as you take care of all the dependencies. You can be far more precise with /proc/scsi/scsi for removing a device with: echo "scsi remove-single-device #1 #2 #3 #4" > /proc/scsi/scsi where: #1 = controller number #2 = channel number #3 = SCSI id #4 = LUN number and to add if you know all the particulars: echo "scsi add-single-device #1 #2 #3 #4" > /proc/scsi/scsi If you are running a 2.6 kernel version of redhat (RHv4 or v5), you can also use the /sys/class/scsi_host/host#/ routines. There may be needed tasks performed in /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modules.conf as well as making a new boot image (initrd with the command mkinitrd). These changes do require a reboot.

Why can't the master and media servers be on both networks each.
Set the client name in the policy to go over the front network
for those systems that only have one NIC, and set the name to
one that is on the backup network for those hosts that have
the second nic?
What about 802.1q?

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 what do you see when you... cat /proc/scsi/scsi If it isn't there, then your O/S isn't seeing the drives, check your zones again. Also, are you using the included qlogic driver to the kernel (which distro and kernel are you using?) or have you installed the qlogic Linux drivers? There shouldn't be a "driver" for the LTO3 drives, it should be seen as a SCSI "st" device and the NBU install should set up the SG driver correctly. There are also great docs included with NBU for this. I would also help when asking questions to supply all the data needed: - -O/S version and architecture? - -NBU version and MP level? - -which qlogic cards?

Re: [Veritas-bu] LTO3 and Disk Staging
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Some quite valid points. The splitting of a DSU's to alternate media servers sounds like requirements from Veritas engineering would be needed as the images on disk would be owned by a different media server. I suppose scriptable be I can foresee several potential hiccups in the event of errors. Have you identified all the performance stats for each item in the mix? So, for instance: max read/write of one tape drive max read/write of two or more tape drives at the same time max read/write of one LUN from CX max read/write of two or more LUNs from CX at the same time utilization rate of FC ports in switches throughout fabric Not to ask a silly question, but are you sharing data paths at all? There have been some posts in the past week or two on max transfer rates round on LTO3, have you researched the archives of this list? How big a system is the media server? Does it have the bandwidth to perform what you want it to? These all may be futile questions as you may have reached the limits of your storage system. The obvious but potentially more expensive solution is to spread your load across more media servers. It is a fully supported configuration...

Re: [Veritas-bu] How many servers per NBU Policy? - Poll
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Not really a useful stat. Everyone's NBU implementation is generally different based on lots of factors. Clients may or may not be bundled into policies for business or security reasons, platform commonalities, and of course schedule windows. As a first stab, I usually bundle systems with similar services into the same policy. But that almost always gets split up a bit. Database backups generally tend to be one client per policy, but there are exceptions. As usual, everyones millage may vary.

If you're alright doing command line loops or writing short shell scripts, here
you go:
for i in `bppllist` ; do
printf "$i:"
bpplclients $i -l | awk '{printf $2":"}'
printf "\n"
done
That will give you an output of
policy1:clientA:clientB:
policy2:clientC:clientd:
etc... Just replace the ":" with a "," or whatever separator you want
This is for bash or sh, modify the loop syntax for csh/tcsh
If you are running windows, install cygwin

There are many ways to test tape drive throughput from a media server. Simple dd or tar commands and all the way up to bpbkar. When you quote your read speeds of 130mb/sec, is that during a restore process through netbackup?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Disk Storage - Advice / clarification
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Simon, At one customer site, I setup dssu's to perform cumul incr within policies. I needed to make sure as they were adding clients on a regular basis, that I could house at lease 1.5 full backups per client within the dssu for the include list specified. That As time flows along, the cumul incr balance out and reduce in size as the fulls were configured to go straight to tape since I had the time on the weekend to endure the slow client performance and resource hogging. As far as what you are doing, sounds great as long as you have the disk space for it. Keep in mind that volume pools are a per dssu match, so if you have multiple clients going to the same dssu that you ultimately want on different volume pools, straight phase 2 isn't going to help you. You can always do some bpduplcate fun to get around that if you have the time to customize. Hope this helps.

As far as going over the HWM, what does 90% work out to when taking into account the fragment size? I've run into a situation where instead of queuing the job or failing with no available storage units, I got 129's when the next unused DSSU in the SUG already had active jobs and the additional pushed it passed it's allowed limit. I've been wrestling with DSSU type functions in NBU since using Vault as the phase 2 solution, so the process has made some good advancements, but it still required a good level of over engineering when it comes to available resources still as when it gets close to those limits, it becomes unstable in my opinion.

Re: [Veritas-bu] DSSU Storage?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I have a couple of customers using DSSU's in NBU6. First of all, I do use storage unit groups with multiple DSSUs as part of them. Almost all have "re-used" existing storage as a general trend, so the back end storage has been RAID 1 or RAID 5 more times than not. The size of each DSSU depends on what the client profiles, back end storage density and policy/schedule quantities and frequencies. Kind of need to put all that in your brain and make a best guess. I have found that setting the mfs on the DSSU hasn't aided any of the situations I've set up and in fact when using multiple DSSUs in a storage unit group, the smaller (512mb) mfs has better distribution on smaller sides DSSUs. Flushing is done only after phase 2 is complete and successful. So if your schedule is not frequent enough, it will not prune out images as there would still be only 1 copy of that backup image. Looking forward to next updates when the volume pool can be specified at a more granule level instead of all disk staging for that DSSU goes to one pool. I've taken the approach for some customers to have cumulative or incrementals go to DSSUs and fulls and archives go strait to tape. Also, setting the storage unit group usage profile is something to consider if you go that route (prioritized, least used and failover). As far as HWM and LWM, I've generally left the HWM default (98%) and set the LWM to sometimes 60%, but that depends on the available resources for phase 2 and the frequency as well. If you want to have the most possible images on disk for faster restores, then taking your LWM down to 40% will make that difficult.

Re: [Veritas-bu] CLI or GUI
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 GUI has improved dramatically over the last few versions. CLI gives instant results where the java gui has been known (in the past) to give old data. Not to mention scripting/automation/customization with reporting, scheduling, provisioning, installations, DR, etc. I think the GUI can be good for someone new or for operations people that need that. I've seen a lot of locations write a customized menu driven interface for the tape handles for inserts/exports and job submission. Many larger more complex locations need to not use the NBU scheduler and go with an logic based company wide scheduler, CLI helps this move smoother as well. CLI also gives you a closer connection to understanding what is really happening behind the scenes which is invaluable when it comes to problem solving.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Anyone have an StorageTek SL500 library?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I've deployed and worked with several at different clients so far and my opinion seems to be shared with the STK deployment engineers so far. The only thing going for it as far as my experience goes, is the expandability or growth potential which translates into TCO. When they work, they work fine except for any interaction you have with them directly. NBU knowns how to manage them well. I've worked with most of the other STK libraries except for the SL8500 and here are my gripes: Manual intervention includes 2 buttons and 5 LEDs that blink in a strange and partially undocumented way. There was plans for an LCD interface that would sit inside the grill, but that has not made it out of STK/Sun yet. The out of band management is through a user unfriendly GUI that now also runs on Solaris but used to only be windows. With this gui, you can see some parameters but not all. There is no way of seeing exactly what is happening within the library in real time. Most enterprise libraries have this, like the web page that the L180 and L700 and others have, where you can watch the picker take a tape and move it to a drive for instance. It wasn't until recently that you could get an inventory of the library through this management tool. Thank goodness for robtest but some customers are talking about doing the closed circuit TV thing again to see what is going on. There have been several topics pop up where even the support and field engineers didn't know how it works. For instance, setting up automatic cleaning and getting a count on how many times that cleaning took place. Since the picker or robot is a shelf that moves up and down the SL500, there are circumstances where it gets in a stuck state if the power is reset or down and requires the use of the "magic ratchet bar" so that you can open the door to reset things. Hard to explain, only through experience can you appreciate that one. They do work, but from an enterprise stand point, there are better solutions, even from STK/Sun, but thats only my opinion.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Setting up a Backup Lan
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The easiest thing for this would be to have the O/S take care of the routing based on the names within the policies. So you currently have client = 1.2.3.10 mediasrv = 1.2.3.5 and then you have a cross over cable and the other nics doing their thing client-bu = 10.10.10.10 mediasrv-bu = 10.10.10.5 In the policy, the client would be known as "client-bu" and the bp.conf or windows config of the client would specify SERVER = mediasrv-bu CLIENT_NAME = client-bu Careful how you manage the client directly from the master server if it is not on that same network, you will have to manage it from the media server. Then make sure your name resolution works out mapping forward and reverse correctly either DNS or static files. Good luck.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Move /usr/openv to NFS mount coming from NetApps
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I would think veritas support would not recommend this or condone it, but if you have no other choice, make sure you have the underlying network infrastructure/arch worked out. So the network connection to the netapp from the master server, can it be on a different link than how the NDMP backups take place (unless the drives are on the filer). Is that link resilient, if solaris ipmp, if linux bonding, if Windows ???. Bottom line is that you are going to tie your backup, or more importantly, restore to a separate infrastructure, not that this is right or wrong, you just need to think about the ramifications. Is the NetApp clustered? Replicated? Also, on nbu server startup, make sure that the mount is there before NBU starts. If you are running out of catalog space, then take note of how that catalog backups run and what impact that will have. Also, there may need to be some tuning if this is NFS for the mount, such as turning off acl checks, making it run over tcp, make sure the mount is hard but intr, etc... If this were to work, then it would give you clustering capabilities as well as an interesting DR solution.

There also needs to be cleanup features in the event of the job getting canceled
by the admin (150) or of the stream gets retried or any other non-standard begin
and end game. So if I understand what new features 6 allows for, then the
parent
job can be where you perform all your magic with multiple streams. Look forward
to testing it or hearing of anyone else who has actually tested it.
