1. Tape went down due to room temperature (Asif Iqbal)
Asif,
You can remotely up a drive but you first want to ensure that there is
no tape in the drive or else it will go down again, and cause a backup
falure.
>From the host connected to the library robot use robtest, pick the
library and type "s d" and then press return looking for Drive 3.
Then press q twice to exit. You don't want to stay in robtest too long
because it prevents nbu from sending any mount requests.
If there is a tape in there you must eject it and move it back to a slot
in the library, and run vmupdate to update VolDB.
There are two ways to eject a tape and up a drive. One way is remote.
The other requires you to log into the host.
Remote method
vmoprcmd -h $MEDIA_SERVER -reset 2 (This attempts to eject the tape and
move it back to the slot)
vmoprcmd -h $MEDIA_SERVER -up 2 (This ups the drive)
If you log into the media server use the command
mt -f /dev/rmt/1cbn offline (This ejects the tape but leaves it in the
moun=th of the drive)
Then log back into the host connected to the robot and use robtest to
move the tape back to a slot, robtest, "m d3 s#)
Then from the media server type, tpconfig -up 2.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi,
I am planning NetBackup installation. I need to know what licenses I
need for Exchange Server.
I have one Master server and one set of Exchange clustered server
connected to SAN that I would like to backup. It will be a SAN backup.
Please let me know what licenses I should order.
Thanks
Kathy

Your master server must be licensed.
if you're backing up the "OS" on your Exchange environment then you will
need one windows client license per host....ie, a three node cluster,
you'd need 3 windows client licenses to backup C: System_state, etc,
then you'd need one Exchange license for the actual exchange instance.

Asif,
Do /dev/rmt/cbn definitions exist? More then likely the drives might
have tapes stuck in them. Try mt -f /dev/rmt/?cbn? status to see if tape
are stuck. Also perform a robtest. If you run robtest make sure no jobs
are active. Also look at your logs /usr/openv/vol/debug for more
information.
Thanks,
Chris Hall

Hi Greg,
In my last site we ran everything on VCS so we setup our master
server as a clustered application within that framework and NetBackup
has all the scripts to install on cluster nodes - this gives you
cover for local hardware failure. To cover us for site failure we
used VVR/GCO in async mode to basically fail NetBackup between sites.
If you don't want to run VCS locally you can just use VVR to fail
over between sites. Its also alot more straightforward if you
separate media/master server functionality when you're clustering.
There is also a change in clustering between 5.x and 6 whereby all
the application binaries are stored on each cluster node rather than
in a shared filesystem so this complicates the upgrade process slightly.
Experience of using NetBackup replicated with VVR was good - just
takes a bit of time to get it engineered and running - after that it
seems to work well...

Is there any CLI or script used to poll all the clients for their

It has been about a year since I ran 5.1 so I don't quite remember how
they ran but with 6 a failed backup, like a full monthly, will retry at
your set frequency (in our case 12 hours) until it completes with a 0 or
1. Sometimes it will try and run the same job everyday for a week. We
rarely have to manually rerun jobs now. But I do agree that 5 is more
stable. The 6 upgrade has required a lot of work to get 99% success.

Forgive me if I am wrong, but doesnt 5.x offer the same functionaility
of failed backups (retry!)
Because that is what I am seeing here, in a 5.1 environment...... As
long as the window is open, the backups re-try until the threshold hits
the limit or the backup completes.

In an environment with multiple media servers you only have to
recover the Master in a DR. This allows us to be up and recovering any
server in the 2 hours it takes to recover the catalog. If a media server
is needed for throughput you can do a basic install of Veritas on it and
be up and running. With all the data on the Master the media servers do
not need any data recovered to be functional. I like the way it auto
restarts failed jobs, but it bit me last night when a job tried to run 5
times and now I have 23 failures on the report for 1 server.

What advantages do you see in 6.x over 5.x? What things are
better and easier etc. I need to get some points to be used for planning
a 6.0 upgrade.
