EMC Networker V7.6 SP1 is here. Well, for Unix anyway. Check the release notes for info on fixes and features. Once nice added feature is you can setup scheduled clone operations - it obsoletes my homebrew script, but it's good to see that they added this feature. I had to move my cloning to...

I have an open case with Sun on this too... library works fine with Solaris 9, disappears with Solaris 10. Question: Did you perform a "Live Upgrade" to get from Solaris 9 to Solaris 10? In my case, I did use LU and the library disappeared once I booted into Solaris 10. For fun, I tried a...

I should have also mentioned this: If (for example) you are restoring an entire directory for a user "jones", e.g. restore of "/home/jones" - any symbolic links that exist in /home/jones will be restored automatically. If you are doing a file-by-file select-n-choose restore, then you will need...

EMC Networker performs a backup and restore of any symbolic links on Unix/Linux systems... the backup job runs as "root" on the client, so it has access to all files/directories. Normally, symbolic links aren't hidden to a root-level user, thus the backup properly backs them up and restores...

Check out this EMC tech bulletin: http://solutions.emc.com/emcsolutionview.asp?id=esg104075 esg104075: NetWorker: Potential data loss issue using Path to Tape on NetWorker 7.5 and DL1500/DL3000 firmware version 1.1

Here are the two quick n' dirty to do what you want: mminfo -q "level=full" -r "volume,type,pool" mminfo -q "level=incr" -r "volume,type,pool" Look in the Command Reference Guide for the mminfo command to further tune them as you need. Output example (from Unix system): bash-2.05$ mminfo -q...

I grabbed a bad example in the above file and the board software here doesn't permit edits. It should be using $now in a lot of spots where it outputs the current date/time to the logfile instead of `date`. It works, but isn't very clean. Replace and test as you see fit.

Here is the nw_pre_backup.ksh that does the actual DB shutdown on our Sun unix (Solaris) client. Note that we log processes before and after DB shutdown to a logfile so that we have a trail if something goes haywire. We also change the system login message to tell any interactive user that a...

I will post examples of my DB shutdown and process checking scripts...

Here's what we do at our shop that works 100% for us (a Unix shop)... nothing magic here, it is well documented in the NetWorker docs; but you need to have someone that is well versed in the DB stop/start scripts and rolling your own scripts: First, to have this scripting run on the client for...

Read the manual section on MMINFO in the Command Line Reference Guide... you can tune the following as you see fit: mminfo -q "volume=000123" -r "volume(8),client(14),name(16),level,totalsize(8),ssflags,sscomp,ssbrowse,ssretent" The above will show all saveset info for volume 000123...

I resisted making striped pairs because things in "test" have a habit of finding their way into production (in my shop). It's a gut-level reaction (to avoid stripes), but maybe with ZFS it wouldn't be so bad. Ultimately, I'd like to have ZFS manage each drive at its own native level without any...

I don't know the 3310, but if you can create single drive LUNs, that should do it. I would expect them to have to be NRAID (No RAID?), but if Sun says it can't be done, I'd believe them. I'm thwarted from creating a LUN for each individual disk. It won't let me do a single drive... NRAID (as a...

Confirmed... cannot be simply done. Rumor has it that if the I/O board and midplane are replaced, then it can become a JBOD unit. I'm not against doing that, but by the time I buy the few parts I might be able to get a whole (used) JBOD 3310 box. The 3310 is a "mature" product... I'm just...

Has anyone success in using a 3310 RAID disk array as a JBOD? I wanted to offer all 12 (SCSI) drives in my 3310 disk array to the operating system so that I could experiment with ZFS - creating mirrors, raidz, etc. and test the performance. If I had a JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) box, I would...

Ummm... can't you just do it via the GUI interface --> Configuration --> Staging --> (name of your active staging) --> Properties --> Operations tab --> Start Now: Stage All Savesets ??

I did some homework a while back and selected NeoScale CyrptoStor Tape 700: http://tinyurl.com/3avko6 I have yet to order a couple of the units. I spoke with one of their techy/sales types and they said that their box can encrypt with keys each unique to each tape volume. Note that you may...
