You can install UNIX/Linux clients from the Java GUI. But not windoze clients. At least the option doesn't appear. If you click on Policies -- Summary of All Policies -- Clients then right click on a client it will show if you can install/upgrade of not. Regards, Patrick Whelan NetBackup

I had this question a while ago, as a Linux Master could push the client out, but from what I can see, the Windows Master cannot do this feature does not appear to be there ! Simon -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu

Wow. I never thought I'd see that day a Unix guy standing up for the GUI. Doesn't that violate your command line creed? Don't let bash shell find out! ;) For Windows, Symantec provides a silent install batch file or you can create an .msi transform to install remotely. Simply share the client

We use Disk Stage Storage Units (DSSU) almost exclusively for our backups. As someone has already mentioned, you can stream many slow clients to a DSSU without impacting your speed significantly. To do this with tape you would have to use multiplexing, which is a real performance killer come

Even we old time UNIX curmudgeons see value in some GUI. What we see NO value in is a system that ONLY does GUI. You simply get far more control with CLI flags and scripting than can be built into any GUI. (Well actually you might be able to build it into a GUI but your box' radio buttons would

Hello, I am running NetBackup 7 OpsCenter right now against all my NetBackup 6.5 Masters, no issues at all. I have all the same functionality as with old NetBackup NOM, I was able to configure all the same alerts. As, I have the license for the Backup Reporter Analytic, it works fine as well.

I am in agreement with Ed, We could backup to disk ok, but getting it of disk to tape took longer and we could not get it finished before the next nights backups, and that was when we had SDLT tape drives. I now have LTO4 drives and backup straight to tape and I still cannot keep all the tape

What we do here is backup to dedupe devices (Data Domain) then vault to tape. This has the benefit mentioned below that the restores for recent backups (we keep 30 days on DD) are fast because there are no tape operations involved. -Original Message- From:

If you have a unix master, you can install to a unix client using the console. My window servers I do with System Center or with the install script - choosing servers on the network. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu

You are so right. The only time I use the java gui is to push the unix upgrades. And I only use the windows remote admin console, because it is easier to look at the jobs, and to eject tapes. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu

Thanks Martin. Good info. What criteria do you use to determine the number of concurrent jobs for a DSSU? Is it reasonable to determine the concurrent DSSU sessions based on the speed of the clients? For example, If I have a disk to which I can write 100MB/s and clients that can write 5MB/s then I

I started with a calculation like that, but I also incorporate destaging speed. I've never used anything higher than 16 concurrent writes, and that is for incremental backups. With incremental backups, I don’t care as much because even if the destaging speed is poor, the amount of data is so
