Bad expiry dates with AIR and custom replication periods

$

0
I need a solution

Hi all,

I have 2 netbackup appliances running 7.5.04.  One device replicates images to the other using AIR.  I've setup some custom retention periods, though when replicated the image always has a 1 week expiry date on the target appliance, instead of the custom period.

The issue never happens on the source appliance, wether custom or standard the expiry date its always correct.  The destination appliance works fine when using AIR with standard retention periods.  The custom periods are setup on both appliances

Outputs are attached for a testing job.  It should expire on the destination device after 1 hour

any help is appreciated :-)


Offline catalog backups failing with status code 141

I need a solution

Hello,

We are facing this problem since we enabled NBAC on NBU 7.5

8/9/2013 10:06:33 AM - Error bpbackupvxss(pid=20964) path (fiws) specified for bpbackupvxss is not an absolute path   
8/9/2013 10:06:33 AM - end Catalog Backup; elapsed time: 00:00:43
file path specified is not absolute(141)
8/9/2013 10:06:33 AM - Error bpbackupvxss(pid=20964) catalog backup to path F:\Veritas\NetBackup\db\NBU_VSSDB_IMAGE\FINDC14-CATALOG-HOT FAILED
 
fiws in the first line actually is a part of the server name where NBU is running, so it seems like the rest path has disappeared and thus it is not absolute, isn't it?
 
I've read these two threads:
 
They both say "Correct the file specification and retry the command."
But what file are they talking about? We tried to create a new Policy for this, but the wizard didn't require any file specification except a path to backup itself. In our case it is a separate drive - G:\BACKUP.
 
There was anoher solution: go to NBU Management -> Catalog -> ???
But in our case Catalog submenu contains nothing, so it's not an option.
 
It always comes along with status code 29:

How to change default port no on NBU for NDMP type backup/restore?

I need a solution

Hi All,

I am running NBU 7.5 on Linux machine.

My NAS device gives me option to change the port, instead of using default port of NBU, i.e., port no:- 10000

So how can I change the port on my NBU server? So I can test my NAS box with different port.

 

Best Regards,

Ashish Barot.

 

nbcatsync can't find duplicated backups from different NBU environment

I need a solution

We have 2 NBU masters 7.1.0.3 on linux at 2 different sites, Production and DR. We are currently using OST and SLPs to replicate backups done on one site to the storage unit of the other side. For example, the 2 sites both have 2 storage units

 

 PRODUCTION                                                                                          DR SITE

production_local_stu                                 =                                            production_remote_stu
DR_remote_stu                                        =                                            DR_local_stu

 

The production site contains the a local storage unit, and a remote storage unit which points to the diskpools on the DR site. The DR site contains a similar setup. From this setup, backups done on each site are replicated to the remote storage unit.

We have a similar setup comparing to http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/how-can-i-get-remote-nbu-env-ostdatadomain-see-duplicated-images-another-nbu-env#comment-6664681, although we do not have DataDomain. Both the sites are seperate NBU sites.

However, when trying the above solution, we are stuck at trying to use nbcatsync to sync the dr file. It tells us .

#> nbcatsync -sync_dr_file ./production_catalog_backup_1375627523_FULL
All media resources were located
Primary Disk Media Id Current Disk Media Id
==========================================
nbcatsync: No copies of> Catalog Image (production-massvr01-bkp_1375627523) found

 

So what are we doing wrong? The backup and duplication jobs seems to have no errors, and we are also able to verify that the backups in their respective remote storage units. 

Thanks in advance!!

I have a query related to the upgrade of clients.

 

We have upgraded the Master Server, Media Server and few clients from 7.1 to 7.5.0.4 version.

 

We have a mix of clients like AIX, Solaris, VMWare, Linux and some Windows clients.

 

Now I want to upgrade the Clients from 6.0 versions to 7.5.0.4 version for all the clients across the Infra.

 

Kindly provide me the documentation/ web link to verify the compatibility with the OS versions/Hardware/Processor etc., and the Netback up Client version.
