Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 6.5 Release Update 3 Hotfix 1 (6.5.3.1)

[Rosenkoetter, Gabriel]

Um, and install that patch soon, at least on your masters. Because any policies 
that span 02:00 tomorrow morning (presuming you've got your clocks set to a 
time zone that follows DST) will continuously requeue after successful backups 
if you're still at 6.5.3 or below.

Of course, if the reason you can only reboot at certain times is because of 
running backups , vaults, or other NetBackup activity, then you are still stuck 
in that window, since you will be bringing NetBackup down.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 6.5 Release Update 3 Hotfix 1 (6.5.3.1)

[Rosenkoetter, Gabriel]

[I exchanged a few out-of-band emails with John about this, and anticipate that 
he'll post when he's done with his testing, but he suspects a different part of 
his environment than the 6.5.3.1 update at this point.]

For what it's worth, not that I tested every corner case, but I just backed up 
17 RHEL clients through my test environment at 6.5.3, saw ~ 40 MB/s aggregate 
throughput (to a disk STU), dropped 6.5.3.1 on the master, and reran the test 
with the same results. (I'm not pushing the client update just now because 
those are actually clients from a production environment.)

So if others were, as I was, alarmed by John's report and back-pedaled on 
updating, you're probably safe to (do your own testing! and then) go ahead and 
upgrade.

Wow.

Can you get some solid metrics on the speed drop?

Is it only Exchange clients that are affected?

Are these clients, SAN clients, SAN media servers, etc?

Have you opened a case with Symantec over the issue yet?

(Yes: I'd recommend updating the client software. As I believe I mentioned on 
list, the security vulnerability, part of what 6.5.3.1 corrects, affects all 
members of your NetBackup system, including clients.)

I'm sorry, I know that we can install the hotfix on the clients as long as the 
master and media has it.  I wanted to know if the vulnerability exists on the 
clients as well and if the hotfix Should be installed on them.  i can install 
the hotfix on a dozen servers quickly but installing it on over 1000 clients is 
a headache.

A DVD ISO for 32bit would be nice too,  I know you have a patched binary
set there,  how hard would it be to create an ISO?  There are a lot of
your customers that would rather have a 32bit install instead of having
to install all new machines twice.

[X_S]

I'm sorry, I know that we can install the hotfix on the clients as long as the 
master and media has it.  I wanted to know if the vulnerability exists on the 
clients as well and if the hotfix Should be installed on them.  i can install 
the hotfix on a dozen servers quickly but installing it on over 1000 clients is 
a headache.

The standing rule of thumb is that the master always has to be the highest
version, then media servers, then clients.  So upgrade the master, then the
media servers, then clients.

There's also an FAQ entry that says the admin consoles have to be at 6.5.3.1
if the master is 6.5.3.1.  And the standing rule of thumb is that NOM has to
be at least at the release of the master.

Does anybody know if this is cumulative?

Or if you have to do 6.5.3 AND 6.5.3.1 when installing new clients?

Since 6.5.3 is not a base release either, we're now telling our admins they
have to install 6.5, then the 6.5.3 patch, and then the 6.5.3.1 security
patch.  Can we PLEASE have a remastered 6.5.3.1 full install kit so they
only have to do one install?

Thanks,

NetBackup 6.5.3.1 Hotfix is not cumulative unless the LiveUpdate package
is used.  If you use the patch containers instead of LU, you must have
6.5.3 installed as a base.

 

6.5.3.1 is a small patch release that will address two issues with the
scheduler.  NetBackup 6.5.3.1 is the first "triple-dot" hot-fix release
produced by NetBackup, and it delivers a vulnerability fix, a scheduler
correction for windows that span midnight, and corrective fixes to the
scheduler when spring and fall daylight savings time changes occur.

 

NetBackup 6.5.3.1 Hotfix is posted to the Support website.  A full list
of package links available for download can be found in the following
technote:  http://support.veritas.com/docs/319624

 

We have been updating the LBN with information on 6.5.3.1, see 
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/315021.htm  and we will
continue to revise the FAQ http://support.veritas.com/docs/319637
