Re: [Veritas-bu] VM Master / Media Servers

If its not supported by Symantec, and you have a client that does not have the full experience of Netbackup or the hardware, then they could find themselves out on a limb ! Just want to avoid that From: Chacko, Savil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent:

[Veritas-bu] Best way to measure if a drive is being used?

vmoprcmd -d ds? Or other method? I would like to poll every 5 minutes for example from the master preferrably for all drives and find out which are in use and which are not, I know some scripts were posted to this list awhile back to do just that but I was curious if anyone had any

Re: [Veritas-bu] VM Master / Media Servers

Can you please be more specific on your massive I/O problems? Are we talking about SCSI? Fiber? Tape? Disk? VMWare claims 60,000 I/O per second per ESX Host (assuming your disk can keep up) and explicitly says no tape drives for their configs. I'd assume your problems are related to tape

[Veritas-bu] exam-250-365 (MPITSO, TSHEPO)

I took the 6.5 windows unix beta tests. I didn't study anything, just winged it. They're not ALL that much different from previous NetBackup exams they just have some 6.5 specific function questions added. Study anything your rep listed as a new and improved feature for 6.5 and that should cover

Re: [Veritas-bu] VM Master / Media Servers

Not conflicting responses. Two responses to two questions: does it work at all and is it supported? It's definitely not supported, but I have found it to work in a LAB situation. It suits my purposes in a lab, but I don't know why anyone would use it in production, nor would I. How's that?

[Veritas-bu] Any DLO Users Out There

Netbackup Enterprise Users, I know this listserv is mainly for the NB Enterprise Platform users, but I was wondering if there are Netbackup Desktop and Laptop Option (DLO) users out there who are backing up PCs with DLO. We are current using the legacy Netbackup Professional to backup appx 8,000

Re: [Veritas-bu] VM Master / Media Servers

I could see using VMWare for your master server and taking advantage of its superior DR capability via replicated storage. In the event of a DR scenario, simply fire up the VM master out in DR, attach a few physical media servers and you are good to go. -Jonathan -Original Message-

Jonathan Seeing as David is from Symantec, I kind of guess this is I/O to a physical tape library, as I use ESX alot here, just not in a Netbackup VM environment. -Original Message- From: Martin, Jonathan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 23, 2008 1:24 PM To: Dave Carpe;

Re: [Veritas-bu] VM Master / Media Servers

Right - I was trying not to assume anything. For all I know, he means pure disk. I'm really looking for credible test results of VMWare I/O issues. I've seen some pretty credible benchmark results for applications like SQL Server and Exchange but we're headed in the Virtualization direction

OK. The OS Compatibility Guide will show you that VMware supported as a client only and then references the best practices for backing up VMware document: http://support.veritas.com/docs/278064 The best practices document discusses running a media server within VMware on page 12:

Hello everybody, ok it is not supported. It' clear for me... problems are related to robotics/san etc... But why do not support a Virtual Master Server if all robotics stuff is duty of a physical media server? regards, Andrea
