Caleb,

Which directive are you using for the system components?  There is a known issue with using the System State directive on Windows 2003, you should be using Shadow Copy Components or All Local Drives to ensure all objects are secured.

Does anyone have any experience turning off SCSI Reserve / Release in NBU 6.0 with NDMP SSO?  I have 24 LTO-3 drives sharing between a local Linux host (NBU 6.0MP4) and 11 Celerra data movers, which are configured to *use* SCSI reserve / release by default.  If a data mover panics and fails over while holding some SCSI reservations, those particular drives become useless to me (SCSI reservation conflicts on my host) until I reboot the robot and the host.  Running a reset from Netbackup fails, as it thinks the drive is in use, and if I run it from the command line on the generic device, it clears up the reservation conflict, but the local device paths are still hosed.

Do I still need SCSI Reserve / Release if Netbackup is the drive broker in this case?  Looking through some of the Celerra documentation, it says to disable reserve / release if doing dynamic drive sharing in ARCServe and CommVault, I'm wondering if NBU would be similar?

EMC and the robot vendor both say to turn SCSI reserve / release off, Veritas says to leave it on; anyone out there with any experience with these issues?

thanks.

Clem,

Doug and I hate SPAM as much as you do.  We have placed as many controls on the list and the forum as we could possibly place to eliminate it.
Unfortunately, if someone wants to ignore all those warnings and post unsolicited commercial postings in an obviously technically-oriented mailing list, the only thing we can do is block their address from all further postings, and we do that very quickly.

The funny thing is that, as long as I've been on and off this list (and other lists just like it), there have been far more posts like this one _discussing_ the occasional SPAM than there are actual SPAM messages. 

I would say you have two choices when you get such a message:

Passive:

Consider it just like the other few SPAMs that make it through your other SPAM filters and just delete it. Trust the list and forum admins to do the right thing.  We're watching for these messages and will block the person immediately.  (You can also be assured that a bunch of other people will choose the active approach.)

Easy Active:

Forward the SPAM to abuse AT backupcentral DOT com and/or veritas-bu-owner AT mailman.eng.auburn DOT edu .  Doug and I work together on this.  If you forward it to the wrong one of us, we'll send it on to the right one.  (If you want to save Doug's time, any messages that came from the forum interface will have the abuse AT backupcentral DOT com address at the bottom and you can send them straight to me.)

Peace, love, and death to spammers. ;)

Currently I am unable to consistently restore Windows 2003 Servers with SP1 or above. I am running Netbackup 5.1 MP4 on the clients and the NetBackup Server. The data restores fine but the system state does not. Some services do not register such as SQL or IIS and at times the security settings. If I use NT backup the server restores work fine. I also had some success using
the W2KOption -restore    -same_hardware 0 command. I talked to the Symantec
engineer and he said I should not need to use that command. I agree but we have not been able to figure what is the cause of this problem. I gave access to the engineer to perform a restore in our test environment to make sure that I wasn't doing something wrong, but still no success. Any suggestions would be appreciated.



Thanks,

Caleb
