Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP restore failed from path UNKNOWN after upgrading NB to
Hi, I've not run into that issue, but you can find the release notes here: http://clientui-kb.symantec.com/resources/sites/BUSINESS/content/live/DOCUMENTATION/6000/DOC6396/en_US/NB_7506_Release_Notes.pdf From the looks of it, there are a number of changes, the first two below: ■ An issuecan occurifa NetBackup Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) backup policy is configured with the directive set type=tar in the backup selection. Parent directories in the path of a file that an incremental NDMP backup saves may not be present in the backup image. For more information on thisissue, refer tothefollowing Technoteon the Symantec Support website: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH202412 ■ Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP)backup performanceisadversely affected when the logging level is set to 4 or 5. The performance effect may be serious enough to cause NDMP backup failures. Symantec recommends that you set to the logging level to 3 or lower to avoid this issue. Justin.

[Veritas-bu] NDMP restore issues OST -> Celerra (VNX5700)
We are having some issues testing a restore of a 1.4TB EMC Celerra PFS backup The backup was done with vbb format and no DAR (set HIST=n), filesystem has approx 20 million files and 1.4TB. Backup was to an OST storage unit via network. I have tried recreating the restore filesystem twice. The first restore looks like it restored all the data, but was part way through a second pass restoring ACLs and then eventually aborted (2813). Error ndmpagent(pid=) aborting operation - no mover progress Error ndmpagent(pid=) NDMP restore failed from path /root_vmx_X/fsmount_Y Info ndmpagent(pid=) done. status: 5 restored image xxx.x.xxx_ - (file read failed(13)); restore time 1 00:05:17 end Restore; elapsed time: 1 00:05:17 NDMP policy restore error(2813) I wiped and recreated the recovery filesystem and started a second restore, and got the same error, but at a different time, and the data hadn't appeared to have completed being restore yet, (it was about 1/10th through) and it hadn't applied any windows ACLs. I am thinking it is a datamover ndmp agent issue on the NAS side, but not really getting traction either way. Has anyone ran into this in their own environment? I am just glad it is a test restore so I can take my time. We don't have any issues with similar restores for smaller volumes (500G, smaller number of files), also without DAR. ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Possible, maybe. But the way to do this is not well-documented anywhere. If the source data was from a netapp, then then the datastream is decodable via ufsrestore on solaris. The Netapp site has a KB for this: 1010683 The problem is that the file on tape is encapsulated with some NBU format information. So you would have to position the tape past the NBU information to the beginning of the Netapp data stream. I've had the details for that in the past, but I can't seem to find them at the moment. If your source NDMP host was something other than a netapp, then ufsrestore has no guarantee of working. It may be some other format. -- Darren ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP restore issue
user had asked if it was possible through netbackup and which is not possible. NDMP backups are done at block level and normal backups are done at file level and which is why it is not possible through netbackup But if you ask that by trying manual dump command then you can surely do On Sun, Jul 10, 2011 at 3:41 PM, Len Boyle wrote: > It might be possible.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP restore issue
It might be possible. In general one has to remember that the ndmp device is generating the backup stream using native utils. I believe that for netapp ndmp they use the netapp dump command which came out of same source as solaris.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP restore issue
Well restoring ndmp backups between different ndmp devices is possible but you only need to make sure that source volume path exists with sufficient space equivalent to the bakcup size on the destination path. why i say that because its been tried and tested where we ran into a situation when source ndmp device was decommissioned long ago but backups were still on tape and we restored its data on a different ndmp device.

As far as I am aware, you cannot restore NDMP backups to non-NDMP devices and writing NDMP backups to different NDMP devices is hit or miss.

[Veritas-bu] NDMP Restore issues
We are running into an issue when trying to restore a large number of files from a backup image that lives on a DataDomain VTL but it was created from a NetApp filer that was direct-attached to the Virtual Tape drives on this VTL. When we restore a group of folders with file in them, either only some of the folders get restored or some of the files are missing. This is being done with DAR enabled. I know there used to be limit of 1024 files per folder with earlier versions of DAR. Is this still the case? I can see all the data gets backed up, but the restore does not return all files/folders within the expected dataset. This is all being done with NBU 6.5.3. Anyone ran into this before? Any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated...

The Celerra images are already on tape, so duplicating them doesn't get them on the Netapp filesystem, it just gets them on another tape. During duplication, NBU doesn't need to interpret the content of the images (like using 'cp' on an encrypted file). During restore, something does have to understand it. -- Darren ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

The problem is that the NDMP host is free to use any format for the backup, so Netbackup can't guess and try to interpret it. You also have the problem that an NDMP host may have odd metadata that is stored. How do you restore it? (may not be possible) I've heard (but have no personal evidence) that the celerra NDMP stream is tar-like. You could try pulling the blocks off the image into a file, then feeding it to gnutar and see if it can recognize the data. Actually, I just found a Celerra backup document that suggests that possible formats are 'tar', 'cpio', and 'emctar'. I don't know what the last one is, but I'd try gnutar first. It's nice that it will skip the NBU header on the tape stream and try to find the tar information later. If it's cpio, you're going to have to remove that header yourself. Oh, and in case it's not obvious, none of this is an "NDMP restore". You're going to have to do this on a computer, then pump the data back into the netapp. -- Darren ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP Restore to alternate vendor filer
Is this old data you have to restore or do they just want everything off the Celerra so it can be shutdown ? You could just mount the Celerra source shares & NetApp destination shares up to an intermediary server and robocopy/rsync them through the server, instead of having to restore them. Would take a little while but be pretty easy to setup. You could also ask NetApp directly - they ought to be pretty helpful if they know they're replacing EMC gear in your DC. =) - John Nardello -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of RKastner Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 2009 1:54 PM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] NDMP Restore to alternate vendor filer Hello to all, i have to restore NDMP backups (several TB) made from an EMC Celerra to a Netapp filer.

Any hints are highly welcome Thanks in advance Roland +-- |This was sent by roland.kast...@computacenter.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] NDMP restore problem.
Hello, We have a restore problem with NDMP since we upgraded to 6.5.1 2 weeks ago. Not all restores but for some of them we get this error: 10/14/2008 14:50:01 - begin reading 10/14/2008 18:39:33 - Error ndmpagent (pid=18519) ndmp_mover_get_state failed, status = 18 (NDMP_XDR_DECODE_ERR) 10/14/2008 18:39:33 - Error ndmpagent (pid=18519) connection 0x8182870 ndmp_message_process_one_failed, status = NDMP_ILLEGAL_STATE_ERR 10/14/2008 18:39:33 - Error ndmpagent (pid=18519) eof is set - connection 0x8182870 At this point job just hangs. If we point to a file in a directory we want to restore there is no problem. We can restore top level ie /vol/vol0/. However if we go down the path a select directory there above error appears. Has anybody seen this? --Rajmund ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP restore problem - NDMP_HALT_INTERNAL_ERROR Type 5on Solaris Server with 5.1 MP4
You have to look at the logs on the netapp. You can look in the /etc/messages file, but I suspect that you will not find anything. There is also an ndmplog (watch my spelling) If memory serve me you issue the command on the netapp of ndmpd debug xx where the higher the number the more detail. so 50 is good, I think 70 is the highest. A good chance that this will give you the info you require. After the restore can you see the file you are restoring. We have one set of data that always gets a return code of 5, but it is after the restore is finished when it is trying to change the permissions on the file, which fails. But the file was restored. len From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JAJA (Jamie Jamison)Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2006 8:46 PMTo: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.eduSubject: [Veritas-bu] NDMP restore problem - NDMP_HALT_INTERNAL_ERROR Type 5on Solaris Server with 5.1 MP4 I'm trying to restore a file from an NDMP volume and it fails with 'status 5 - NDMP_HALT_INTERNAL_ERROR'.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP Restore
No, but there are technotes about how to restore from an NDMP tape to a non-NDMP system. I seem to recall it involves skipping over the first file on the tape. I think you would also need to think carefully about the format the tape is written in. Celerra defaults to 'dump', if you enable path history you make it use tar - this may be easier to handle on the other system - but be careful if you have CIFS shares, I'm not sure tar format preserves NTFS ACLs.

RE: [Veritas-bu] NDMP Restore
Thanks for the info. So if I go to NB admin console, I have to select a directory then select individual subdirectories under the main directory and select the files to restore. This presents a nightmare if I have lots of subdirectories because I have to get to the files to take advantage of DAR. I am sure there are folks out there with more than 1TB of data, it looks like it is almost impossible to restore that amount of data with hundreds of subdirectories. With my testing, restoring 1TB will take days if I have to restore from the main directory.
