Hello Larry, An interesting list.
if you have clients/servers behind firewalls you may not be able to use the ping command as the firewall may block. This is for questions 1 and 13. If you are at level 6 you can use the /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bptestbpcd command to check that the clients can talk to netbackup. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Mascarenhas Sent: Saturday, April 26, 2008 6:02 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Health Check Script Hello, I'm writing a Netbackup Health Check Script to "proactively" check the status of my infrastructure. This will help me to be aware of potential issues & then correct / fix them so that less time is spent troubleshooting the problems after a failed backup. To that end, here's my list of items I'm checking for (in no particular order). Please provide comments / suggestions / additions regarding this list and what you think of this idea. 1. Ping the client (IP/Media Server). 2. Media Server status (via vmoprcmd - Tells you if offline). 3. Verify if NBU processes are running. 4. All Tape Drives are UP. 5. Long running backups. 6. Pending Tape Requests. 7. Enough tapes in the Scratch Pool (quantity). 8. Robots are accessible. 9. Any policy was changed and what was changed. 10. New policy added & details. 11. Verify the installation directory and files have not been changed. 12. Verify connectivity via Netbackup (eg from Master Server run bpcoverage -c <hostname>. 13. I'm tempted to rsh to client and then run bpclntcmd -sv. 14. Verify the performance files are in place (eg NET_BUFFER_SZ). Thanks. -- Larry Mascarenhas [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
