I would just go to the jukebox config in Networker and switch the order of 2 and 3 there. Your order would something like 0,1,3,2 and networker will be happy.

Oh yes, we have this. I reported it to AMCC and Legato; unfortunately AMCC is no longer updating the driver so it will not be fixed. That said, the driver is more stable than all previous ones. To work around we limited the targets that inquire and (Networker's lus) see. In the lus.conf...

Sorry, I got confused also. Are you saying you'll run a second full backup instead of a clone? Or are you saying you'll simply turn on auto-cloning for the full group that is now run seperately?

I think I know this one.. In the saveset recover window or such check the savesets (5 of them?) that you have...are they the same amount of time apart? If so, what your seeing is the full backup running longer than or up against a firewall timeout value. Check the tcp connection timeout...

That message can come from the backup server being busy. Busy doing what is a good question. When the server does a bootstrap save one could get this message; the mediab is unresponsive (queries and updates) when a bootstrap save occurs. If you have a group or groups doing this (look for...

There was some rumor, and I have not seen it that some have gotten some improvement on Windows backups with the ignore directive which tells it to not look for .nsr (or nsr.dir) files during the backup. That is, ignore local directives. I tried this on some our backups and saw maybe a 2 to 3%...

..and your saying that you have Gigabit Ethernet on the backup server and on the client and you notice little improvement? You should get above 5MB/sec at some point. If you really have 9200 million files, yes, you may need to back it up differently.

Is this one saveset (393GB) ? Perhaps it can be broken into several savesets based on top level directory?

If your limited to several 100 Mbit/s NICs I'd get as many as possible. We see 2 or 3 LTO2 drives can max out a 1000 Mbit/s (GigE) NIC. If we assume you want each LTO2 to do 30 MB/s (and the NICs can be teamed such that their bandwidth is added) you'll need 18 100Mbit/sec NICs. On...

If you say your backing it up over the network and one or the other NIC is 100 Mbits/sec then that is a bottleneck. A 100 Mbit/s card will do about 10-12 Mbytes/sec max..not even enough to drive 1 LTO2 drive to maximum speed. Your rate posted averages to about 5MB/sec but most likely burst...

The change journal can be turn on/off, the settings can also be changed...from what I've seen the settings only take effect or go into effect after a full backup (which 0's out the change journal). This had helped with large incrementals we were getting with the archive bit set. Don't know if...

Your saying the incremental is as large as a full but still saved as level "incr"? Something may be touching all the files and setting the archive bit? If the change journal is used (which could address such a problem) the default values for it need to be raised to get it to work properly.

The command you want is nsrmm -d volumename. You'll need to do this for each volume bulk erased. If you use a barcode scanner you may be able to feed the barcode to this command avoiding mis-typing. I concur that we did run into problems bulk erasing SDLT tapes that have a calibration...

Do you have labels set to match barcodes? Maybe it misread the barcode and there really is a volume with that barcode name?

Your saying the required volumes window does not call it out but it is indeed needed? I'd run an mminfo for the client and time period your restoring from before kicking off a restore then. It sounds like a bug in Networker.

Have you checked what's on the tape(s) that are listed? I would used a mminfo -a -v TAPENAME or something. Are there any savesets related to what you are restoring? If not, is the tape being called out always the same? Can it be deleted from the mediadb?

Wallace88.. Yikes. Do you know if the parallelism bug exists in 7.1.1 ?? This sounds like a pretty serious bug...if I schedule one group with a savegrp parallelism of 1, when that groups runs the whole server will be reduced to 1 session? Do you have an LGTpa number for it that I can ask...

Yes, Networker can back up to 12 to 1000 drives at once. If automatic cloning is done for the group it will then clone your 1000 tapes one tape at time. You can write scripts (and maintain them) that sort the ssids and clone them reading from multiple drives and writing to mulitple drives...

Edit your lus.conf with an entry for your JNI card? It could really be anything on your SAN. Is your JNI conf file correct? Cabling, zoning/LUN security? Its really hard to tell without more information.

Networker does require free space in /nsr. What does Legato have to save about your error message? The way I see it the choices are: a.) More space is actually needed in /nsr. b.) The message is automatic and erroneous. c.) The message is automatic and the threshold can be configured. I...
