We are currently doing testing with Netbackup 7.0 (currently on 6.5.4) and when I tested the command it worked fine. We are on a Solaris master server, if that makes any difference. [thylacine:root]: bperror -U -backstat -hoursago 96 -by_statcode 0 the requested operation was successfully co

Unfortunately I cannot suggest a resolution to the issue, however I will note that we just upgraded from 6.5.3 to 6.5.4, and I updated my desktop Java Console to 6.5.4 as well, and everything has been working fine since. In fact, in comparison, the 6.5.4 version of the java console "seems", so f

2009-05-19 Thread Green, Steven
We have long ago "solved" (as best anyone can solve this architectural shortcoming) the handling of pre/post script with multi-stream backups. Our environment consists of Solaris master and media servers (unix). We only have a small number of hosts that use multi-streaming due to their large size (

I have run into an issue during testing of NB 6.5.3 that I wanted to share with the group. Perhaps someone else running 6.5.3 can try and duplicate the problem and help determine whether this is a furreal problem, or something peculiar about our environment. Here is the scenario: * Backup

Pat, We backup a Celerra (NS80G) with dedicated tape drives and also perform a weekly full and daily incremental. We've not had to concern ourselves with ctime/mtimes of files - just set the policy schedule to an incremental type (we run diffs) and let 'er rip. We do VBB backups of our Celerra rat

I have two Solaris 10 media servers attached to an ACS library (via ACSLS), and have the latest Sun patch clusters installed, including the -14 rev of this particular patch, and have no problem. The mpt driver is for locally attached Parallel or SCSI devices, so your library physical connectivity m

There is an engineering binary fix (bpdbm) for the compressed catalog/restore issue with MP5. We have requested the binary, have it in place and it took care of the problem. Of course this is all the more proof (like we need more) that Symantec's QA testing of their product stinks, but I assume al

We've recently acquired a Sun T2000 for use as a media manager to replace an old and dying Ultra450. The server configuration is as follows: Solaris 10 8-core, 16Gb Emulex LP11000 (dual-port) for disk-SAN connectivity (2Gb/s port speeds) to CLARiiON CX380, using Leadville

For what it's worth I have also had a strong need for the same report functionality. We use the Notes field to document failures for critical servers as part of SOX compliance reporting. Having a simple way to generate a list of failures for a server group with any attached Notes is part of our
