Yes Wenyee99, we've in fact just done this, moving from a E280R to a v440 server. Just make sure they are the same name and the IP addresses are the same for the new server as the old server. The tape drive type may not be as important, cause you can use a disk based catalogue backup - or as we...

Make sure you Master is on MP6. Install the software on the client (I believe the binaries are the same used for Solaris 9 servers) and again patch it to MP6. On UNIX masters you then have to run /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/new_clients to get Solaris Solaris10 as an option for a "new"...

You have to you the bostart and boend sscripts to stop the service on the Windows server and then start it back up again after the backup completes. Syntax will be something like: bpstart_policyname net stop AV_Software_Service_Name bpend_policyname net start AV_Software_Service_Name I...

Thanks comtec.... it is a Sun server, so I will look further in the rmt commands. For question 2 - lets say the files are exactly the same. Indeed, they will be cause this will be a controlled test. Simon Goldsmith Storage Engineer

All, Say I write a backup to a brand new fresh tape (in one fragment, not multiplexed). This backup uses hardware compression. The image will reside from block 0 (or as near as possible, the tape header will take up a block or 2) to a random block further on the tape. First question, how can I...

Dorga, Yes I think it is. ACSLS 6.x is not compatable with NB 5.x+ but I think 7.x is ok with 3.4 cause we were going to do that scenerio (a NB 3.4 and 5.1 system in the same silo) and I'm sure STK told us that was the only way to do it; however, in the end we didn't need to :o) Simon Simon...

Bob, Thanks for the link.. the NB 6 tuning guide is something I have read and studied before, but PGPhantom's doc is useful... however, it still doesn't really answer the question. Veritas state: IMPORTANT: Because the data buffer size equals the tape I/O size, the value specified in...

Hi All (been a while!!), SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS - Does anyone have an information on what this value should be set to for different tape drive / controller cards? I know that the value should not be greater than the maximum tape drive I/O block size, but what is that for different drive...

Steve OT, Many Thanks... exactly spot on!!! Simon Goldsmith Storage Engineer

All, Can anyone help with this one? We have a backup server running Backup Exec 9.1 (sp2) during the inital install we added a serial number from a Exec 7 Exchange Agent. 9.1 took the number and reports that the Exchange Agent has been installed. We've created a mailbox and given rights to the...

run bpps -a at the bottom of the Report you will see ARO process if its running. Also the Advanced Report application is installed by Default in /opt/SUNWnbaro. Also you can look in /etc/rc3.d for S90nbaro; this is the startup/shutdown script for Advanced Reporter. Finally, point a browser to...

Try kill -9 on the process (if on a Unix server) or "end process" via Task manager (if on an NT server) or you can delete the job from /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs... pick up the job number from the Job Monitor, then delete the job from that directory. It is advisable to bounce Netbackup after...

Depends on whether you care which tapes you want to eject... if you just want to make room in the silo and you don't mind which tapes you eject use acsls: eject acs,lsm,cap_id (e.g. 0,0,1=acs0,lsm0,cap1) volrange (e.g. K0000-K0010) Other wise you will need Netbackup to generate you a list of...

But a SAN drive is a local drive!! A NAS drive is a Network based drive. Simon Goldsmith Storage Engineer

A split catalogue backup can "selectively" backup the images of servers that are needed for DR purposes - this would speed things up. The concept of the split catalogue backup is that a "standard" netbackup class backs up the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/* or...

Help. I want to create a generic script to pull complete file lists from client backups. This is easy to do with the bpflist command for Unix clients because the files are never fragmented - that is they don't have spaces in the file path. This means that awk can be used to pull out the file...

I agree with the majority on this thread that Solaris is better for a number of reasons: Stability and performance being the main 2. However, you have to remember that scripting / ftpin' / mailing etc are included as standard in Unix and therefore it gives you more opertunity to customise your...

Solved it myself!!! The pool part must be the pool number - not the name... stupid me!!! Simon Goldsmith Storage Engineer

Anyone got any ideas about this one? I want to change all unallocated tapes in the silo to the SCARTCH pool. I've generated the list of these tapes, however, when I run the following command: vmchange -M master1 -h master1 -p SCRATCH -m mediaid the tape "mediaid" is moved to the pool of...

I have a Windows 2000 server running Citrix XP that the backup is failing with rc 41 on the System_State part of the backup. If the backup is run without the System_State directive it works fine. The file it is hanging on is rastls.dll. Anyone know what this file is / does? Same file each time...
