Re: [Veritas-bu] Exchange 2007 with CCR - Passive Node Backup

2008-09-30 Thread Smithers, Mike
Status 130 is a very generic error with snaps with exchange. It could be 
multiple issues. You will have to dive into the VSS logs or look into VSS 
provider logs for your storage array.

Are you doing IR snaps as well. Also what storage array are you using.

Thanks Mike

I haven't seen exactly that ("Error attempting to find volumes to snap"), but 
I've just slogged through a variety of 130 errors to get to a working 
configuration.

Are your replicas healthy in the Exchange console?

Did you set the HKLM\System\CCS\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersSystem\Enable 
Remote Streaming Backup registry key, as explained at 
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa580485(EXCHG.80).aspx?

Did you restart the clustered mailbox server after setting the registry key (as 
is not mentioned at that link but is mentioned in the Exchange help topic)? You 
do that in the Exchange Management Shell like this:

Stop-ClusteredMailboxServer  -StopReason "Enable Remote Streaming 
Backup" -Confirm:$False
Start-ClusteredMailboxServer 


The client-side log you want to be looking at is bpfis, and you'll want to look 
at it both on the active and on the passive node. While testing, I recommend 
that you force backups to the passive node (they'll fail with a 130 if it's 
unavailable), but you probably want to permit falling back to the active node 
once you're running live.

2008-09-24 Thread Rosenkoetter, Gabriel
You shouldn't be specifying either the active or passive node name as a client, 
you should be specifying the cluster's virtual name as a client.

Also, note that you must run the NetBackup Client Service as an AD-level (not 
local) account that has local admin access on each server and admin access to 
the Exchange cluster for LCR/CCR snapshot backups. Running the client as 
LocalSystem will not work. (The documentation's a bit hazy on this point. It's 
clear that that's necessary for individual mailbox backups, it's not so clear 
that it's required for the cluster backups, but it makes sense when you think 
about it: the Exchange cluster isn't logically attached to either node, so 
neither node's LocalSystem has sufficient permissions.)

Folks,

 We're running Netbackup 6.5.2.

 We're just now setting up a Netbackup Policy for Exchange 2007 running in a 
CCR cluster.
 The backup has been defined to "backup the passive node first, but if not 
available, backup
 the active node".

  The question I have is client definition in the Snapshot policy (within 
Exchange Policy) required
  to backup the Exchange database:

When we put both physical CCR cluster node names in the policy's client 
list, it starts backups
for both nodes, and looks like it does "snapshots" for both nodes, when 
only the "passive node"
should be snapshotting, and getting backed up. Why is that happening ??  
Anybody have a
"passive node" Exchange backup set up and working ???

  An obvious solution would be to take the "active" node server out of the 
policy's client list, but
  then if a failover occurred , and the "passive" node switched to what is now 
the "active" node,
  would the "passive" node backup still work without that physical server in 
the policy's client list ??

The Netbackup documentation update for 6.5.2 is not too clear on this !!
