I took the 6.5 windows & unix beta tests. I didn't study anything, just winged it. They're not ALL that much different from previous NetBackup exams they just have some 6.5 specific function questions added. Study anything your rep listed as a new and "improved" feature for 6.5 and that should cover most of it.

I think I may have some corrupt files that are helping create larger than expected image catalog files. We normally run a full backup on Friday. My plan is to get rid of the old TIR files and let the full backup create a new file. I believe I did this in the past, but don't remember since it has been at least 5 years since I did it. I shouldn't need to do anything other than delete or move the /usr/openv/netbackup/tir_info directory on the clients correct? I had previously posted about why the catalog images for our hpux servers were so large. I haven't heard anything back from a support call I opened but I did decide to find out if the compress was working and how old the files were when it started compressing them. I found nothing was compressed. I then found that it is looking for /usr/bin/compress which did not get put on this new build (RHEL4.5). I was able to get compress/uncompress on the server and it did compress and saved quite a bit of space. At least the file system should not fill up. The image directories are still more than 3x larger than the old 5.0 server which is why I'm thinking the TIR files may be hosed up.

These 4 drives were shared with other media servers. I removed the drives temporarily because I was having some problems with NDMP -- but now when re-adding them back in as ndmp drives I get the following error: "drive name already in use." I only get the error when trying to add the drive to my SSO configuration as an ndmp drive. I've tried doing the tpautoconf -replace_drive drive_name -path path_name ... and I've tried doing the tpautoconf -report_disc on each of my media servers but I haven't had much luck in resolving the "drive name already in use" error. This error occurs after clicking the OK button in the 'Add New drive" window. I've opened up a ticket with symantec but it has been two weeks and still no solution.

Most of us can breeze through current e-mail's by topic and decide to read it or not. For some who are focused in the 5.x, 6.0 to 6.5x upgrade process, I've unexpectedly found good information in e-mail's whose subject descriptions don't reference anything to do with the issues or problems in the 6.x upgrade process. This suggestion may also be helpful as we migrate through the 6.5.x + releases/patches in the upcoming year(s). My suggestion is certainly not limited to my area of focus, but perhaps for any of us who may want to first qualify their primary question or issue based their current running version level 1st, and the issue 2nd. I just recall this being a "norm" 4+ years ago. Maybe long term member's like Ed, Simon and Justin or others, including the WEB Master can chime in and correct my assumptions on forum protocol.

Here we're not doing any 64 bit Windows yet so unfortunately I can't answer. The fact that the 32 bit client for Linux can be made to work on 64 bit Linux suggests there is likely a way to do it on Windows so long as it has some sort of backwards compatibility like Linux does by installing libraries for that purpose. At least we know hardware isn't the limitation so if it doesn't work it would be the OS. ________________________________ From: Dave Carpe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 11:44 AM To: Jeff Lightner; WEAVER, Simon (external); veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] looking for x64 NBU 5.1 Client Linux on x64 is referring to the AMD Opteron and Intel EM-64T processors, so x86_64 would be correct.

Given that it seems reasonable subscribers should open all messages to see if they can offer the assistance requested rather than simply choose to read the ones they think will help themselves. 5) Why limit it to version? Why not platform (Windows 32 bit, Windows 64 bit, Windows XP, Windows NT version, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, UNIX: Solaris 8, 9, 10, OpenSolaris, FreeBSD, HP-UX 11.0, 11.11, 11.23, AIX... 6) Some folks are just contrary. :-) The deal is there is a lot of information that may or may not be relevant to the question asked. Ideally the user is including that in their post. If not one can question (as I did yesterday on the question about x64). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Jacobson Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 1:12 AM To: nbu Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU - Subject Topic Context Forum, With so many good and critical topics discussed in this invaluable forum, I'd like to propose a suggestion to the forum in returning to a Veritas version level description in the e-mail "subject" area first, which could help each of us determine, in part, if we wish to open, review and respond in support.
