    Determining copy-2 media ID

    Beginner question I know but I don't deal with duplicate tapes often. We're not using vault, just making inline copies. The primary backup tape is off-site. How do I determine what the copy-2 media ID is for a particular file so I can promote that tape to primary? Is it as simple as expiring...

    NB 6.5.2 error 24 or error 58

    Resolved... though not really through Symantec. It's an selinux problem. Don't know how I didn't see it earlier. Turns out Symantec has a document on it already: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/290148.htm But their techs didn't know about it. heh. Hope this helps somebody else. Mark

    NB 6.5.2 error 24 or error 58

    I've set up a test server to play around with 6.5.2. I have everything set up properly as far as I can tell (master server running RHEL 4 ES). I can probe and back up a linux client running version 6.0mp5, but if I push (or install from CD even) the 6.5.2 client to it I can no longer probe it...

    Anyone backing up Mac Leopard (10.5) with NB6.0?

    According to Symantec, backing OSX 10.5 is only supported under NB 6.5. Is anyone backing it up using 6.0 or earlier? Thanks, Mark

    Catalog fails after moving "openv" directory.

    The hot catalog backup in NB6 doesn't allow you to specify the files or paths. However after much research and an email to Veritas tech support I found the answer to my problem! Turns out that Netbackup doesn't support having the openv directory on an NFS file system!!! Go figure. So I...

    Catalog fails after moving "openv" directory.

    I've tried manually kicking off a catalog backup and it still fails.

    Catalog fails after moving "openv" directory.

    We are running out of room on our current "/usr/openv" partition, so I rsynced the data to a new larger partition. I stopped Netbackup, ran bp.kill_all, synced the two partitions and changed my soft link under /usr to point to the new "openv" partition. No Problem. I ended up having to reboot...

    NB6 can't backup NDMP

    Fixed it! I had to escalate the severity with Veritas, but once that happened it was fixed in a day! It turns out that if you have several network interfaces you need to specify which one you want NDMP to use in a file called: /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/ndmp.cfg In this file you put...

    NB6 can't backup NDMP

    Thanks dgallegos, But I've already checked both of those things. Oddly enough, a call to the NetApp tech support line reveals that they are still testing against NB 4.5 and don't have NB 6 installed yet. Sheesh!

    NB6 can't backup NDMP

    According to the NB6 NDMP PDF (lots of acronyms there eh!), I need to install some software on the master server, but I can't find the CD they require. I asked the vendor who gave us the temporary NDMP license and he said that NB6 now comes with the NDMP software installed, you just need the...

    DSSU won't do multiple copies?

    Thanks again Qdog! I'm always amazed at the amount of help and knowledge on this forum. Hopefully someday I can give back as much as I take.

    DSSU won't do multiple copies?

    Worked like a charm, I would have never guessed that was the problem! Thanks Qdog! Any thoughts on why synthetic backups won't allow multiple copies?

    DSSU won't do multiple copies?

    This is for netbackup 6 mp4, runnig on redhat linux 4. I've set up a Disk Staging Storage Unit that writes to a local RAID and it works great. However, when I set up the staging schedule to write this data to tape the option to make multiple copies is grayed out. I would like to make two...

    Netbackup smart enough to use multipath fibre?

    I'm new to fibre channel and multipathing so if something below sounds nubish please forgive. My question is: Is Netbackup Enterprise-6mp4 smart enough to NOT send all the data to the drives down just one fibre? I don't mean two lines to one drive, I mean will a multipathed server send data to...

    ADIC SDLC TLM setup problems

    It's Fixed! I was poking around in the SDLC config and found a place where the drives were not bound to Client1. I modified one drive and was successful in labeling a tape. Whew, what a pain, now I can move on to the next crisis. Cdpwin12, thanks for all of your time and effort, Mark

    ADIC SDLC TLM setup problems

    I've got the media and drives all set to HCART2, but I had to into the fourth tab 'media type mappings' because setting a barcode rule didn't work. The media mapping originally had LTO set to 1/2" Cartridge Tape so I changed it so now it says 1/2" Cartridge Tape 2. That got the tapes to show...

    ADIC SDLC TLM setup problems

    I had the tapes go in to the Scratch pool, but I've played around with moving them to other pools as well. The drives are HCART2, but for some reason the tapes come up as just HCART. Shouldn't they should come up as HCART2 since they're LTO2 tapes? I've also played around with manually adding...

    ADIC SDLC TLM setup problems

    I'm setting up a new NB6 system that's connected via SDLC to an ADIC S10k. There are six LTO2 drives connected directly to my master server via fibre channel (well, through a fibre switch, but not through the SDLC). My OS is RedHat Linux 4 ES. I've finally managed to see the library (using a...

    Multiple copies using synthetic full?

    I'd like to do synthetic full backups under NB6-MP4 for linux, and I'd like to make 2 copies of the synthetic full. However when I set up the policy, if I select the synthetic backup option, the multiple copies option becomes greyed out. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem other...

    Netbackup Enterprise - LInux or Windows

    We've been using NB under Redhat Enterprise Linux since 4.5. In the beginning I felt as if we were beta testing the software for Veritas, lots of strange problems and lengthy tech support calls. However, since 5.1 and now with 6.0, it's been much more stable and quite easy to work with. I...
