Justin, If the Oracle agent did not change from the prior release, Symantec does not re-kit and re-release a new version. As far as I know, there is not a 6.5.3 Oracle agent; we're using the 6.5.2 agents in our environment. --Larry On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 6:02 AM, Justin Piszcz

If the clients are UNIX or Linux you can try doing login from the master to the client then doing a check to see from which IP or hostname the login appears on the client. If it shows IP instead of hostname it might be a sign the IP isn't recognized as the master's hostname. -Original

[Veritas-bu] Tape media destruction questions.

2009-01-07 Thread Justin Piszcz
Had a few questions. 1. How do you handle it? 2. You can send tapes off-site to Iron Mountain, degauss them before you send them off-site, that is one option. 3. How much are the machines that securely and physically destroy the tape media? 4. If they're physically destroyed, how do you deal

You might want to degauss even before sending out to such a company. At least one poster on this list noted how he had gotten used tapes that were supposedly wiped but on checking he found other people's data. As for us we degauss any bad tapes after images have expired in NBU. We don't destroy

I use a company to do it. Was Media Recovery - Now known as dataSPAN. 1) They will degauss onsite before the tapes leave your building 2) They may buy the tapes from you after that (they clean and sell them as used - because they are degaussed before they leave your site they are good to go) 3)

We're running 6.5.1 and not having this issue. Also FYI - Upgrade from 6.5.1 to 6.5.3 would not be as painful as the one you just went through. From 5.1 to 6.0 there was a major change in the way things were done. We upgraded from 6.0 to 6.5 with no real issues. -Original Message-
