Re: [Veritas-bu] Ops Center

Hi, Well there are several documents available on Symantec website. There is even a sizing document. We are using OpsCenter with 3 masters and it runs smoothly after I configure database server to use 4GB of cache. It requires lots of memory. CPUS/Cores usage increases when you run reports. Greg

Re: [Veritas-bu] Ops Center

My VM that had our test OpsCenter vapourised but it was fine while it was available, certainly not obviously worse than NOM. What we did do was the tuning documented in the NOM guides to set the DB cache a bit bigger - there is a section that is basically Sybase tuning. I admit that it was onl

[Veritas-bu] Ops Center

Hi, For those using OpsCenter-- is it very slow for anyone, does it run quickly for any customers using it? Been using it with several master servers, its so slow (5-10+ min to load). Any optimization tips/etc? One ops center server per master maybe? Justin. _

[Veritas-bu] NDMP in Practice

Hi, I have solved this problem by gathering (every morning) a list of all the netapp volumes in my estate (>vol status), and a list of all my netbackup policies (>bppllist), and effectively doing a "difference" between them.. No difference => No volumes being missed by netbackup Differences =

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP in Practice

In a previous life where we had weak change control and this scenario was a problem, I wrote a script to dump and sort the policy (bppllist -l... | grep "^Include:" | sed…| sort…), and compare that list to a similarly transformed list of "ls /net/$filer/" on the (Solaris) NetApp management host,

Re: [Veritas-bu] Question about SUSPEND behavior

Thanks "smpt1", I think we will integrate the script with VTL reporting to get a list of the tapes that are in the VTL when the suspend job is run, then we can run the suspend script against that list later (either manually or automatically). Thanks, Mark From: smpt [mailto:sm...@peppas.g

Re: [Veritas-bu] Question about SUSPEND behavior

Hello, You cannot change the attributes of a tape when the tape is in use. I had the same problem with you and my solution was to make the script to track the tapes that ware in use and exclude them from any action or report. We had to be sour that the tape was exported or duplicated with the nex

Re: [Veritas-bu] Question about SUSPEND behavior

Suspend prevents new jobs from selecting the tape. Although I've not seen this myself it makes sense to me that a suspend done after the tape was assigned would have no effect on that existing assignment. To have a backup release a tape the best way to do it would be to suspend the backup jo

[Veritas-bu] Question about SUSPEND behavior

Hi folks, My customer has implemented an offsite strategy that calls for tapes from the previous night's backups to be suspended after the backup cycle so that they can be completely replicated offsite from the production VTL. A job is run every day at 14:30 pm that suspends the tapes writte

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP in Practice

I would say firstly: disregard shares... NDMP is performed at the volume level, so that is what I would be looking at ("vol status" or "df") For me, we track the backups using change control (so our documentation required for creating a new volume also highlights the requirement for a backup re
