Re: [Veritas-bu] Quick Erase Script (Windows)

Daniel, I use the follow script (nothing to do with scratch tapes) when space 
gets tight on our DDs and I want to pre-expire some NBU images.


#!/bin/sh
for tapeid in `cat delete-DD.txt`; do
    slot=`vmquery -m $tapeid | grep robot slot`
    slotn=`echo $slot | cut -b 13-`
    barcode=`echo $tapeidL1`
date
echo $barcode
echo $slotn
# Netbackup Expire the tape.
  bpexpdate -m $tapeid -d 0 -force
  vmdelete -m $tapeid -h b2u32
#
# DD - Export/Delete/Add/Import the tape
ssh -l sysadmin datadomain vtl export DD-VTL slot $slotn
ssh -l sysadmin datadomain vtl tape del $barcode
ssh -l sysadmin datadomain vtl tape add $barcode capacity 100
ssh -l sysadmin datadomain vtl import DD-VTL barcode $barcode
  done
ssh -l sysadmin datadomain filesys clean start
-
The L1 above is because we use LTO1 in the DD.
SSH keys are setup from one of our Linux Media Servers to do both the NBU and 
DD commands.

Try running quick erases on your tapes after you run a filesys clean and then 
run a filesys clean again and see if you recover additional space on the DDR’s. 
This will tell you how efficiently you are using your tapes. In addition, this 
is information we received from our Data Domain representative and from other 
techs we have worked with so this takes us right back to why we need the 
script.

When you use Data Domain DDR’s if one of the tapes becomes scratch and is not 
re-used right away, they hold data that is not cleaned up on the DDR until they 
are used or quick erased so there can be a few GB’s or several hundred GB’s 
that can be sitting on the DDR that can be cleaned up.  Which is why we are 
looking for a script.

I'm sure what you're doing works fine.  But you can replace everything

inventory afterward.  (And it'll work with any VTL)

We have an SL8500 that will be sharing applications (NetBackup and
Quantum Storage Manager).

The Quantum will be using 9840D tape drives and NetBackup will use LTO4,
and we are not hard partitioning the library. The tapes for the
different apps have different barcode schemes. The NBU tapes all start
with BKP***.

Is there a way to tell NBU to only add tapes that start with BKP to its
volume database?

I have scanned through the manuals and done some volume previews with
different options and nothing has worked so far. ACSLS reports both
9840D and LTO tapes as HCART so I cant specify that way...

Re: [Veritas-bu] Adding a DataDomain VTL need advice

2009-10-14 Thread Randy Doering
Wayne, We have a couple of DD690s (1 Appliance, 1 Gateway) and I've really got 
only good things to say about them. They're easy to setup and configure (VTL 
and NFS).

You might want to consider what your retention periods will be for the data you 
keep on it. We use 3 months max for the VTL, and anything over goes to Physical 
Tape for offsite storage.

At www.datadomain.com there is a pointer to a Best Practices guide for 
Netbackup.

I am making the assumption that you:

a) have no requirement for offsite storage or to put it in industry
terms, 
a disaster recovery requirement, and

b) are comfortable with keeping all of your backups on virtual storage.

Personally, I would be uneasy with this, because in the event of a 
catastrophic failure with your VTL (as highly unlikely as it is) your 
backups are gone.  If you are a smaller shop, this risk is acceptable.

On the upside, the performance increase is going to phenomenal.  We just

replaced a non-deduping EMC VTL with a newer one.  One of the things
that 
NetBackup required was to actually emulate the EMC virtual library. 
Otherwise, you will run into some licensing issues.  No biggie, the EMC 
could emulate as many drives and as many tapes as the physical disk 
storage would allow.  There is probably something similar with the Data 
Domain.

[Veritas-bu] MS SQL Restore

2009-05-28 Thread Randy Doering
Got a MS SQL user who needs a restore of MS SQL database from last night.

We've been doing these SQL backups and this is the first time a restore is 
needed. It was already in place when I got here.

The user is in the SQL part of NBU (6.5.3) and kicks off  his restore request - 
with the start/end dates selected.

The process sits for a moment and then he gets: ERROR Initializing NetBackup 
Catalog. This could be caused by a missing or expired NetBackup license key.

I put a MS SQL Server extension license key on the media server that does the 
backups, but the error is still there.

Any idea what the problem could be?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Full backup followed by a Differential= Another Full

2008-12-12 Thread Randy Doering
Thanks for the replies/pointers to this question. The 200644.htm doc was 
helpful.

Now, I've tested 3 environments: Isilon - NDMP; NetApp - NDMP and Solaris - 
Standard backup.

In each case, I used a chgrp command to change the ctime of a small set of 
files. I then kicked off a Differential for that client.

And in each case the small set of files that I had changed were included in the 
Differential Incremental for each client.

I don't have USE_CTIME_FOR_INCREMENTALS in any bp.conf files on clients/media 
servers or master server.

So, I'm still confused, and I guess I'll open up a ticket with Symantec to try 
and get to the bottom of this.

Thanks again,

Turns out, the chmod/chgrp needed to be rerun on Monday/Tuesday this

 Any thoughts?

 Since this is NDMP, Netbackup isn't making any of the file level
 decisions.  It's just passing a set of parameters to the host (dump
 level, date of backup, file path, tape drive, etc...) and letting the
 make the selections.

 I don't have it in my notes, but you can up the log level of ndmp on
the
 isilon and view exactly what NBU is sending over.  It'll show up in
the
 ndmp logs.  Ah.  Found my notes...

 On any node of the cluster, edit the file
/etc/mcp/templates/syslog.conf
 and change the line:
 *.=info /var/log/isi_ndmp_d
 to:
 *.* /var/log/isi_ndmp_d
 This should increase the logging levels on the cluster for ndmp.

 You may want to check with your support contacts before doing this,
but
 it's just a log level change.

 With that in place, you can start a manual differential and see what
it
 looks to be doing.  You'll be able to kill it so it won't consume
tapes
 for you.  If nothing looks obviously wrong, you may have to contact
 support.

 Good luck!

[Veritas-bu] Full backup followed by a Differential = Another Full

2008-12-10 Thread Randy Doering
Greetings,

Backup Client = Isilon NAS Unit - NDMP. NBU version is 6.5.3.

Did Complete Fulls, with all of the /ifs/projects/ areas in the Backup 
Selection, starting on 11/26.

This past weekend I kicked off Differential Incrementals for the same Backup 
Selections.

All of the areas in that /ifs/projects appeared to have completed as expected 
except for one.

With this one (10+TBs, 1,643,099 files) during the backup NBU said it was doing 
a Differential, but when it was all done, it had actually backedup everything 
again.

I can go into Backup and Restore for this client, and choosing show all 
backups, it will show the Full that was started on 11/26 and will also show 
the Differential  that was started on 12/6 with the same Modification date 
(prior to 11/26) for each.

Wouldn't have noticed so much, but with it taking 4+ days and using 16 tapes, 
has got me wondering about it.

If I kick off another Differential this coming weekend, I certainly don't want 
to have yet another backup that gets all of the data once again.

Any thoughts?

 Backup Client = Isilon NAS Unit - NDMP. NBU version is 6.5.3.

 With this?one (10+TBs, 1,643,099 files) during the backup NBU said it
 was doing a Differential, but when it was all done, it had actually
 backedup everything again.

 If I kick off another Differential this coming weekend, I certainly
 don't want to have yet another backup that gets all of the data once
 again.

 Any thoughts?

 Since this is NDMP, Netbackup isn't making any of the file level
 decisions.  It's just passing a set of parameters to the host (dump
 level, date of backup, file path, tape drive, etc...) and letting the
 make the selections.

 I don't have it in my notes, but you can up the log level of ndmp on the
 isilon and view exactly what NBU is sending over.  It'll show up in the
 ndmp logs.  Ah.  Found my notes...

 On any node of the cluster, edit the file /etc/mcp/templates/syslog.conf
 and change the line:
 *.=info /var/log/isi_ndmp_d
 to:
 *.* /var/log/isi_ndmp_d
 This should increase the logging levels on the cluster for ndmp.

 You may want to check with your support contacts before doing this, but
 it's just a log level change.

 With that in place, you can start a manual differential and see what it
 looks to be doing.  You'll be able to kill it so it won't consume tapes
 for you.  If nothing looks obviously wrong, you may have to contact
 support.

 Good luck!
