Paul,

  Our master and media servers are HP/UX 11.0 running 3.4.1_3. The Windows 
client was a Win2K 3.4.1 client. My admin console is a desktop Win2K unit 
running 3.4.1_3 with the NetBackup Windows administrative server installed. It 
is not actually a master or media server, but when you look at what is 
installed, almost all of the normal NetBackup server tree is installed.

  The problem with the admin consoles is that they have to have a SERVER= entry 
in all your master/media server's bp.conf. This is fine if you have good DNS 
and your console is on the network all the time. What we have found is that you 
have a busy master server, it is querying all SERVER entries in the bp.conf all 
the time. If you start having a couple of these SERVER entries time out, your 
master server can actually hang.

  So, yes, having an Windows admin console is very handy. But, you need to 
treat is almost like a server - have it on the network all the time with a 
static IP is best. We have also set up a small W2K server that we can all 
connect to with Terminal Server or PCanywhere. This works well for those 
administrators who have laptops that are constantly going in and out of the 
network with DHCP.

Yes, this is getting VERY interesting. When you say Windows 2000 Admin
console, can you describe what you mean ? Is that Netbackup server
software installed on a W2K machine ? If so.. (and i see that you also
have the server on a HP/UNIX as well) which one is your master and which
one is your media, and what are the advantages in your setup, of having
both ? (I am seeing some advantages already)

We currently have Solaris 8 master/media and Solaris 8 media running
Netbackup Datacenter 3.4.1

Thanks,

Paul

Paul,

  Now this is interesting. I ran bpgetconfig from our HP/UX 3.4 master
and a Win2K admin console against a Win2K client.
  The Unix server did not return the Exclude or Include lines. In fact,
the Win2K admin console returned 136 lines of output while the Unix
server returned 92 lines. 
  In my case, the Win2K server is returning much more than the four
lines of exludes and includes.

I'm seeing all the other attributes, but not the include / exclude
I am on a 3.4 Unix master and querying a windows 2000 client.

The attribute is there.  To see its syntax, exclude something on one
NT
client, then use bpsetconfig to grab it's config.  You'll see the
attribute.
