Hello. Have a client that has been successfully backing up over the last week, however, it began throwing status 84 errors over the weekend.

___________________________________________________________________________________

This is the only client backing up to this particular media server / storage unit. It had success until 2 days ago, and no one has been on campus since last Fri. Any guidance? A google search mentioned dedup jobs may still be ongoing etc, but the last good backup was on the 24th - can't imagine a differential backup would take 2+ days to process, so I figure something is going on.

Unable to send Alert Mails through Netbackup 7.0.1

I need a solution

Hi Experts,

I am new to NB and trying to configure mail services on my NB7.0 server.

I started by using the following Netbackup doc.:

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH32539

and set my id in both the Global & Universal setitings as prescribed in the doc.

Later I tried a test backup with a wrong table name, so that it should fail and I should get a mail.

Result: No luck.

2. On further analysis came across the 'backup notify' feature and also entered my mail id and tried.

No luck this time too.

3. Tried with a sample mail:

Mail -s "hello" <my mail id>

This time got the error:

Postfix/public/pickup doesn't exists

I created the dir using FIFO command and also started the postfix service

4. When I ran the command again, got the message, you have a new mail in /var/mail/root

but I couldn't found my mail over there.

5. Tried again with the test backup but no luck.

 

Plz. suggest if I am missing something.

Thanks.

Regards,

Manish

Hi

To fix  Missing drive path on Master server

I run

 

bp.kill_all--shutdown netbackup

 

1. Remove the drives from NBU config (tpconfig -delete -drive <drive index>

                                       (tpconfig -l   ---> for drive index)

2. Remove the /dev/rmt/ files 

                                        ($rm /dev/rmt/#cbn)

3. Run devfsadm -C -c tape

 

cd /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver
sg.build all -ml 9 (where 9 is the highest lun)
 
rm /kernel/drv/sg.conf

Tape bar codes / media ID's

$

I need a solution

Hello. I'm moving tape drives over to my new environment, and ran into a problem with media ID's not being unique. I dont think this is a problem with NB, more of a lack of understanding on my part. If anyone could shed some light on this, I would be forever grateful. (well, maybe not forever. )

 

Anywho, when I log into my Dell Powervault 132T admin gui, and run library inventory, I see bar codes of this nature :

000029L3

000003L3

000002L3....etc.

After adding my new robot, I try to run inventory, and it shows these:

Slot    Tape  Barcode     

====    ====  ============

   1     Yes  000029       

   2      No

   3     Yes  000006       

   4      No

   5      No

   6     Yes  000003       

   7     Yes  000002       

   8     Yes  000001       

   9     Yes  000099       

  10     Yes  000013 

______________________________________________________________

So if I try to just add these listed above, it tells me the ID's are not unique, and will not proceed. I've looked into the Media ID Generator under advanced options and tried toggling that - (my thinking is what I specify here will re-label / identify these tapes). This didn't work either. Also, in 'advanced robot inventory options', I have 'use barcode rules' checked.

So is there a way to accomplish what I would like to accomplish, without using all new labels? Is there a generic way to label these during an inventory to make them unique? This forum has been of great value so far, and I appreciate any assistance that can be provided.

Thanks!

Hello. Trying to add a new robot through the 'configure storage devices' wizard.

 

Master - windows server 2008 R2 enterprise

media server - same OS as above

firewalls both turned off, UAC turned off.

Can ping back and forth, have had no issues with backups so far, but I get an error when trying to scan the host for attached devices (does not matter what host I specify, always get this error).

Get a pop up that states "Could not scan host list: Server Connection failed. Verify services or daemons are up and running (195)."

Currently have an active back up ongoing, but not on this media server. Worked with Symantec earlier regarding status 84 error on seperate media server. Any help?

2) install backup client on client server.

3) run command on client server  Install_path\NetBackup\bin\bpclntcmd.exe -sanclient 1 & reboot the client.

4) After that I run device configuration wizzard & got SAN client discovered there & I got my client in SAN client tab.

  Now I have following querry

 1)how to configure the backup for this SAN client over SAN .

2) Where to connect the tape drive ( on media server or on SAN client )

 3) FT server or FT media server is required or not.

NDMP backups with EMC Celerra DART 6

Hello Everyone,

We recently upgraded from DART 5.x to 6.x on EMC Celerra NS480.  All our NDMP backups are failing.  Any thoughts on changes in this new DART version that are affecting this? We are running NBU 7.0 with Solaris master server and combination of Windows and Solaris media servers.  All NDMP backups fail with error 99.  Very little info on NBU side.

I was getting this error on Celerra:

But now it appears I have regressed and only get this error on Celerra:

Hi Folks..

There is space issue on my Catalog.

For some months, we are bound to take all backups with infinite retention.

Thus, we decided to archive the catalog. Now when i archive the catalog, the archival is successull.

When i check it through bpcatlist -online -before-days <> command, after my archival process, i dont see any information in the output. Thus i consider whatever i am archiving is proper. Even no error are seen in activity monitor or in putty session from where i fored the ./bpcatlist command.

But unfortunately i don't see any reduction in my catalog size. Kindly help me identify the issue.

Regards,

Sahil
