[Veritas-bu] Backups showing up as empty directories
I tried using the physical node name instead of the virtual and it has the same problems. It also seems that the only problem directories are the larger ones that are shared out via the clusters. I don't know if that is relavent.

[Veritas-bu] Backups showing up as empty directories
Ugh...ok I forgot that this isn't on a san anymore. They are physical drives now. But that has been that way for a while and the problem just started 6 months ago. Also, sometimes if I mess around with the client (failover / reboot clusters) I can get it to do 1 good backup.

I have Netbackup 6.5.5, windows master server, windows 2003 client. Here is the set up 2 cluster nodes we will call a & b. A has a SAN share of F B has 2 SAN Shares labeled drive E and G. E:\blah\ and G:\blah2\ are set up as shares in the clusters. For some reason when I do backups I'm getting a successful result however it is only backing up the top level directory on the cluster shares (blah and blah2).

[Veritas-bu] Can't upgrade past windows netbackup client 6.0
I have over 300 clients out there and out of those I can't seem to get a handful of them upgraded past 6. Now I know that unlike 6 and before, 6.5 requires communication with the server, however there are no firewalls in the way. And the servers backup with no problem with the older clients installed. The only error I see in the logs is "Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x800401F0" and of course during the install the app says "Installation was interupted". I know it's not the master servers since they have no problem getting to other clients. DNS is not an issue because the master is a unix server and I use the hosts table. And as stated there are no firewalls in between. Anyone have any idea's because I can't think of anything else. This is happening on both 2000 and 2003 clients, I have ran it locally and tried to push it from another client. I have ran it as administrator (run as) and as an adminstrator account. There is no UPS software on these servers (only article I could find on it). +-- |This was sent by steve.s...@compucom.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

[Veritas-bu] can't re-use older tapes with new library
Here is the problem. Some time ago we upgraded a library from an lto to lto3. Now they scan differently and I set barcode rules to get the tape numbers to match. The problem is that the older tapes are showing up as write protected. I assume this is because the media id and the id that netbackup puts on the tape do not match. I have tried to use re-label with both gui and command line. I can't figure out how to get around this one. p.s. None of the data on the tapes is needed. We just don't want to throw away hundreds of LTO tapes. +-- |This was sent by steve.s...@compucom.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

[Veritas-bu] Change Media ID in Netbackup
You can do little changes like changing the tape type but changing the barcode will make you not be able to restore the data on the tapes as is.

[Veritas-bu] Can't upgrade past 6.0 client
The problem is not with the OS type... it is the same 2000 and 2003 that I have hundreds of other clients installed with. The error as well as the fact that the older clients of netbackup (which don't require any real connection to the master server to install) show that it probably has something to do with port connections. There are no firewalls in between the servers and the master servers have hundreds of other clients that installed and backup with no problems so I know it's not the master servers. I have tried to upgrade from 6 (the latest version that works) as well as direct to 6.5 from clean and not been able to. So I'm trying to figure out if it is a problem with the port on the client servers... how the heck can i figure out what is causing the problem? +-- |This was sent by steve.s...@compucom.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
