Re: [Veritas-bu] Sharing a library
While we do a mix of both, I personally like the "backup to a file on disk then backup that file" method. If you've got the space to keep a file or three on disk, I find this works best as I usually don't have problems with having to support the agent and dealing with the finger pointing between backup admins and database admins. It's also quicker to recover from the flat file since it's already on the system and just needs a DBA to recover it.

I agree with Mr Dyck; sharing an unpartitioned robot between two applications that are not aware of each other, relying on barcodes is not the way I'd go. Not to sound snarky, but NetBackup has an "inventory robot" command, not an "inventory part of a robot" command (vmphyinv aside). In my limited experience with partitioned libraries, I'd recommend revisiting that; it's what partitioning was designed to do, IME it's bulletproof, and you don't have to jury-rig procedures for two applications. > Is there a way to tell NBU to only add tapes > that start with BKP to its volume database? If you were determined to do this with barcodes, you could use a barcode rule to recognize that BKF (you'll never have more than 1000 BKF tapes?) for your production pool and everything else goes to the "do not use these tapes" pool. An better way would be to define either the 9840 or the LTO drives and media as something other than hcart. Say, manually change the LTOs to anything other than hcart and set up a barcode rule to make BKP media that same type. > I have scanned through the manuals and done some > volume previews with different options and nothing > has worked so far. ACSLS reports both 9840D and LTO > tapes as HCART so I cant specify that way... ACSLS would handle this situation (ACS pools and matching volmgr directives in NetBackup), though if you get the INVENTORY_FILTER directive wrong you'll be back in the same boat of inventorying tapes you don't want to see. (Caveat: haven't had an ACSLS setup in ten years so this may have changed.) ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] Sharing a library
I agree that it isn't usually good policy to risk apps overwriting each others tapes, but in this case we are protected because the NBU media server is zoned into only LTO4 drives and the other application owns only the 9840D drives. What I ended up doing is letting NBU do a library inventory and then I deleted the 9840D volumes out of the media list. Not a big deal for us because the 9840 tapes are for archive and never leave the library and these NBU backups will have only a couple of months of retention so there will be hardly ever be any coming and going of media... -Original Message- From: Jonathan Dyck [mailto:jd...@bank-banque-canada.ca] Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 1:14 PM To: judy_hinchcli...@administaff.com; jpis...@lucidpixels.com; Schaefer, Harry Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Sharing a library I'd recommend you look into native partitioning options for the SL8500.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Sharing a library
We shared tapes between Netbackup and Omniback in the same library.
It seems to me the tapes needed to have ownership changed, so you could
set ownership for the Quamtum and a different ownership for NBU.
Ownership is handled by an ACSLS command set owner, etc

[Veritas-bu] Sharing a library
We have an SL8500 that will be sharing applications (NetBackup and
Quantum Storage Manager).
The Quantum will be using 9840D tape drives and NetBackup will use LTO4,
and we are not hard partitioning the library. The tapes for the
different apps have different barcode schemes. The NBU tapes all start
with BKP***.
Is there a way to tell NBU to only add tapes that start with BKP to its
volume database?
I have scanned through the manuals and done some volume previews with
different options and nothing has worked so far. ACSLS reports both
9840D and LTO tapes as HCART so I cant specify that way...

Re: [Veritas-bu] Sharing a library
That's where I was experimenting with different barcode options and using the preview function, but no matter what I used for a barcode rule, it seemed to ignore it and the preview displays all of the tapes in the library...
