server.
Setup is of 6.0 Mp4 Master/media servers.
Can any one help with complete steps to be done.
Thanks

Tim,
I thought I might add what I suspect is another side effect of 6.5.2a.
We have been running 652 with no problems except for the hot catalog
backup critical policy. Hot catalog works fine until you put in critical
policies. However when we went to 6.5.2a our two media servers would
drop
Hello,
I am trying to achieve the streaming of five mount points on an HP-UX client
to one LTO-1 tape drive. I have run into a strange issue though.
If I set multistreaming to five, and multiplexing to five, I see each stream
as a job in the activity monitor. However, NBU is breaking up each

If the filer doesn't have any actual NetBackup software behind it (using
NDMP?), it might not be possible to label a tape in a drive (virtual or not)
that is connected to a filer. It might be a good idea to have at least one
drive in the VTL show up on the master or another media server, so
Thanks
Yes we use NDMP, interesting thoughts about having one of the drives
visible to a media server, will check it out.

I don't really know why you would be getting 5 streams per mount point. I
have never seen this. But then, I haven't messed with include and exclude
lists like you describe.
Why not just setup a policy with the five mount points you want to backup
specified in it's selection list? With allow
HI,
Delete the drives from NBU. If you are using SSO delete them only from the
old media server.(If you do not use SSO delete the robot too)
Do the zoning of the drives so only the new server can see the drives (and
the robot, if necessary).
Configure the drives at the OS (drivers)
Rerun the
Do you use calendar schedule to the Automatic Backup schedule?
If yes reduce the open window of the Automatic Backup to just 10 min or
whatever is smaller than your SQL backup time.
O, I forgot that there is a bug at netbackup 6.0 that is doing exactly this.
Upgrade to the latest patch.

Make sure you don't leave media assigned to the old server.

Dean and Justin,
Thank you very much for your replies.
I need to use ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES (I think) because there are two clients in my
policy. Basically the backup runs like this:
1. - client1: make clones of production file systems
2. - client2: mount clones of client1's production file systems
Once you have blat installed, you will need to edit nbmail.cmd to allow the
emails to be sent.

If you use bpverify, it reads the media and compares the contents of the media
to the catalog.
It is faster than a restore but Ed is right, it will not tell you if you are
backing up the right things.
It should not be affected by changing files on the client though.

It does not verify the data itself, only the contents of the catalog as
you said.
I have seen restores fail and bpverify says the tape is ok.

How many folks use this? Is it intensive? What is the recommendation for
running this?
Thanks,

Thanks Justin.
I think using two policies for this going to work. The NEW_STREAM directive
and individual pathnames is streaming five file systems at a time to one
tape drive.
Now on to testing restores!
Thanks again for your help.

Nor will it tell you if your backups are any good. Only a restore will tell
you that.

Whew, that's a relief for my side of the house but I really do empathize
with your pain, Ed, as it was painful rolling back. I felt I couldn't
risk reapplying 6.5.2A in the Symantec case I opened to have Symantec
troubleshoot my production environment while missing backups.
Here's to 6.5.3 and
