If the client is not a Media Server, then get that configured, using SSO to
share the tape drives.
Alternatively Flash Backup has been mentioned on this forum a few times. No
real experience of it, not sure of the pro's and cons (well a pro would be a
better quicker backup).

The command for sgscan is: *sgscan tape*.
how about the result from: /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/scan -tape ?
then you can verify with: *mt -f /dev/rmt/xcbn status*
is it the path changed? or maybe the drive missing from the OS?
If not, maybe the drive defected. Consult with your support vendor.
RGRDS.
Add VERBOSE entry to /usr/openv/volmgr/vm.conf. Stop/start media manager
daemons.
Device errors (as well as reason for drives being DOWN'ed) will be
logged to Syslog.

Smitha,
I can only speak to 5.1 but the answer may be the same.
"bppllist -allpolicies" will display what is configured to get backed
up.
bplist will display what was actually backed up on a client.

Make sure your storage unit definitions allow multiple jobs per drive.
Be sure your policy allows multiple jobs (allow multiple data streams)
and "limit jobs per policy" to more than one.
Even then, you'll only share tapes if it's the same retention period and

I believe you need to make your system (the client you are backing up) a
media server.
I believe that is a seperate license from Symantec.

I'm pretty sure that if you have a box that does its own backups that isn't
your master, you'd need a media server license.
I think, as well, you could get a San Media Server (or San Server) license
that's a little cheaper than a full-blown media server if it's only gets itself.
It's a pay-for,
Thanks for that Rob,
That makes sense - a media server is what i need to make the windows server
into. I currently have no media servers - just a master and some clients.
I am going to price a license.
I am also going to look at a private Gig ethernet connection
Thanks, Dom

Thanks Carl, I am going to look into setting it up as a media server now

Yes we had exactly the situation. We determined with the help of our friends
at Symantec / Veritas that there was indeed a bug and they sent a replacement
binary for bpbrm.exe for our windows media servers. In actuality what was
happening is that when the restore was initiated bpbrm.

This information is dated. With 6.0MP4, the default buffer size is 256K.
If you have a NET_BUFFER_SZ file, delete it.

Before we upgraded to disk to disk we used multistreaming on our 5TB of
Windows file servers (two separate servers.) I think we ran one stream
per disk and we got about 2-3MB/sec per stream so we totaled a
respectable 10MB/sec. Flashbackup is another way to go.

Agree, what is the network speed?
Multiplexing is only going to help so much.
You can also tune the client buffer size to 128KiB, I hear this is
supposed to help, default is 32KiB.

If anyone wants to confirm please do! :)
I got the windows client upgraded to 6.0MP5 (was 5.1MP4/5.1MP6 before,
neither worked) then I could perform the restore.
With 6.0MP4 it could restore to 5.1MP4 and 5.1MP6 without any issue.
Nasty bug!?

We have similar setups, and a combination of Flashbackup and DSSU has been our
best result. You will get much better performance to disk than tape, then run
it to LTO without affecting your client. I would also suggest you split your
server into separate policies for each drive letter, then
What is your network speed:
This may not be your problem if you are getting 2000KB/sec, but might be
worh a try.
However that is slow. I get that only on a couple of very old Compaq Tru
64 servers that max out
at 100MB
Check these settings:
If you are running 1G then be sure the NIC and the
Symantc's suggestion for volumes with millions of small files is to
perform a raw volume backup. The drawback is you loose single file
restore capability. The other option is to purchase an Advanced Client
license and use FlashBackup which is a raw volume backup with single
file restore capability.
Daniel,
Flashbackup might help.
Otherwise where is the bottleneck? disk? network? cpu? filesystem?

Hia,
My master backup server is a Sun Solaris server.
I just tried to add the policy via the wizard. Then it tells me the

So I am guessing the way I put in my filesystems is with the wrong
syntax.
And the wizard also didn't ask me about a cache device.
Anyone?
