Re: [Veritas-bu] SAN Switch Change caused NBU7 to lose tape drives
Not sure on the Windows side, as that sounds like hardware/firmware. However, on the Solaris media server try running tpautoconf -report_disc Its possible EMM is having "issues" with the new WWNs being presented and thinks some of the drives are duplicates. Fairly easy to clean up once you know what EMM is thinking: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/271366.htm - Original Message - From: "Brandon35" To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Sent: Wednesday, July 7, 2010 10:03:53 PM Subject: [Veritas-bu] SAN Switch Change caused NBU7 to lose tape drives Hi everyone, In one of my environments we replaced our old SAN switch with a new Cisco. We went from 1 fabric on the old switch to 2 fabrics on the new Cisco switch. We split up the tape drives 1, 2, 3, 4 on Fabric A. 5,6,7,8,9 on Fabric B. After this switch, our media servers are having enormous trouble seeing the tape drives at all. One media server see's 6 tape drives which makes no sense at all. One media server see's all 9. Another media server see's 7. No rhyme or reason to any of it. Why would a switch change cause this? Our zone's have been thoroughly checked multiple times. Each tape drive is presented to the media servers, I assure you. One of our Windows media servers see's only 6 tape drives in Device Manager, but San Surfer shows that the HBA see's all 9 A Solaris 9 media server see's 9 tape drives, but netbackup only see's 7. So, what do you guys think could be going on? Do I need to do something to the HBA's like reset, so they forget the previous paths? Could tape drivers be the potential issue, can tape drivers cause an issue with 1 switch over another? I am completely out of ideas so im throwing random ideas out... Anyone?? +-- |This was sent by brandon.pawoll@mda.mil via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - veritas...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP authentication failing for NetApp.

We have a non-root account on the filer (ndmpuser) and have given it a password. This has been used by Operations Manager in the past with no problems. When I try to set up credentials for that NDMP host, I use the user name "ndmpuser" and the encrypted password I got from running "ndmpd password ndmpuser" on the filer. This fails authentication. The filer is running NDMP version 4. The error message is coming back saying the media servers could not be reached or the credentials are invalid. The tape library is on the master server so I have not set the filer up as a media server. The filer is a production system getting backups from 4 different countries so I'm reluctant to start changing NDMP levels or password length options. Please tell me what I'm missing.

Yes, but if you want to back up Exchange 2007, then you will want to use
NetBackup 6.5. NetBackup 6.0 does not have support for Exchange 2007.

I would recommend upgrading to 6.0MP4 first, and get that working.
Let 6.5 stabilize for awhile before making that plunge. 6.5 was just released.

Subject[Veritas-bu] Netbackup upgrade 6 or 6.5
Has anyone got 6.5 yet? We are running NBU 5.0 MP7 on a predomintatly
solaris platform. We are due to upgrade h/w and s/w and i was wondering
was it worth going for 6.0 which seems to be used quite a bit by people
now, or do we go to new 6.5 ?
Also we have around 20 servers including a 2 node Sun Cluster ( attached
to T3 arrays ) running oracle10g. Is there anything special which can be
done with 6.5 or is it just worth still doing filesystem backups direct
to Tape
Thanks

Re: [Veritas-bu] Many false "50" errors and "200" errors
There are a number of known defects with MP4. Open a support ticket,
specifying the string of 200s. errors. After you provide logs and get through
the escalation process you will be rewarded with a package of post-MP4 binaries
and libraries to install.
-- Original message --
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Ever since we upgraded to Netbackup 6.0MP4 on March 12 , we have started seeing
alot of what I call false "50" errors.
( we usually get these when we stop services on the master server, and they are
explainable) But now, we have been
getting them even though we have not stopped the services or interrupted
anything.
We are also getting a large number of "200" errors.
In all cases when the jobs are re-run they run fine.
Has anyone seen this with Netbackup 6.0MP4?
