Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup Blat
I have several scripts for daily monitoring that either call the installed instance of blat directly or reuse the nbmail.cmd script. 1. A daily status report which details any backups which ended in an error status, any that are still running at the time of the report, any that are still running from the previous day, and any that were expected to run, but have not. 2. A daily report of how many tapes are available in my scratch pool. 3. Status reports for several backup scripts which coordinate to shut down services and databases and perform some cleanup tasks, then fire backups, then monitor for all the relevant backup streams to complete before rebooting servers or restarting services and databases. The status reports tell me when these processes start, when the end of all the streams are detected, and when all of the restarts are completed. I like scripting, so I've likely called this other places I am forgetting. Also, I have scripted batch files for windows for a long time, and consider blat a very normal tool to have in such processes. While an SMTP client is a fairly simple thing, if I need one from a batch file BLAT is my first choice. (CDO form VBScript or PowerShell, and unfortunately I don't write Perl, so I can't say.) If anyone with a copy of Tim Hill's, Windows NT Shell Scripting, on their shelf is complaining about blat's use, I'd consider the complaint, but outside of that I wouldn't give it much thought. Blat's license affirms that it can be redistributed or even sold. Of course it then confuses this by acknowledging that parts of the source come from other sources, indicating it may be otherwise encumbered. In any event, I'd have the lawyers consider whether it can be redistributed with your product before writing your own SMTP client. Patrick Sweeney (978) 787-4553 patrick.swee...@axcelis.com I.T.

Alternatively you would need to run the command on the master server. I have some processes where I run a script prior to kicking off the backup, and then fire off the backup command on the master server by using schtasks.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Real time failure notification
Travis,
I have three possible solutions for you - I think. I haven't tested the
example I am providing here, so you'll probably need to do a little debugging.
1. Run BPDBJOBS at a regular interval, and parse for jobs of type backup, whose
parentid is equal to its own id, with a status greater than 1 and an end time
greater than the last time you checked. The batch file below uses gawk 3.1.0 -
hopefully there are no typos.
You could set this to run as a scheduled task at some appropriate interval -
like once an hour maybe.
(Careful -lines may wrap) You could actually do something simpler here if you
just wrote the whole thing as an awk script - but this should work.
REM DETERMINE THE LAST Time this was run
REM We will use this as the cutoff time and ignore older errors
FOR /F %%i in (LASTRUN.TXT) do (

)
REM Now record the current time for the next run
ECHO. | gawk {print systime()} LASTRUN.TXT
REM Now run bpdbjobs and find backup errors since the last job,
REM but only if the parentid is the same as the jobid
REM for more info on the fields returned by bpdbjobs take a look at
REM the Veritas NetBackup Commands; Windows; Release 6.5
bpdbjobs -most_columns |gawk -F , {if ($34 == $1 $2 == 0 $3 == 3

For /f %%i in (NewAlerts.txt) do (
ECHO JOBID = %%i %%i.error
ECHO EXIT STATUS = %%j %%i.error
ECHO POLICY = %%k %%i.error
ECHO SCHEDULE = %%l %%i.error
ECHO CLIENT = %%m %%i.error
call %NB_MAIL_SCRIPT% whoe...@wherever.tld Backup on %%m Exited with Status
%%j %%i.error
DEL %%i.error
)
2. I have posted a set of bpstart_notify.bat and bpend_notify.bat scripts
intended to perform a set of actions only once. These are at
http://www.netbackupscripts.com/index.php?topic=4.0
My production environment isn't as intense as some, so your mileage may vary
with these.
I think these could be modified as follows to satisfy your requirement:
In the bpend_notify.bat file
Echo the exit status of each stream to an individual file - and overwrite that
file if it exits with a different status, i.e.
After the line
@DEL NBSTREAM_%STREAM_NUMBER%.%SPECIFICITY%LOCK
Add the following line
@ECHO %5 NBSTREAM-%STREAM_NUMBER%.%SPECIFICITY%RESULT
Now, in the section of actions to be performed after the last stream, read
through those results, and if any are greater than 1 - alert.
(Then clean up the results files)
So, after the line
@REM Perform the actions you want after backup
Add the following block. (My apologies for the apparent clumsiness of this -
specifying a fileset, never seems to work as I would like.)
(That and ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION doesn't seem to work as I would like in a
nested FOR, but does when called.)

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Real time failure notification
Looks like parent_end_notify does what I need for multistreamed jobs.
It doesn't get called for jobs without multistreaming though. I guess
having an environment with policies that have multistreaming on and
off makes this harder.
For the other questions that were asked...this is NB6.5.2 and its.a
solaris master, so no blat.exe.

Re: [Veritas-bu] 6.5.2 upgrade failing
You could also run bpps from the netbackup\bin directory to see what NetBackup processes are running, and run bpdown to end them gracefully - assuming no backups are running at the time.
