Mark,

 

Don’t leave us hanging, what were the changes to nbrb.conf?

Hello Mark

 

I have had the same issue, it is probably because of the way 6.5 allocates tape drives, where a job get a certain tapes and not just one of free ones. I had a case with Symantec where got some settings to nbrb.conf to get it to behave like Netbackup of old.

 

Regards

Michael

We have just upgraded to 6.5.1 and we're now seeing a large number of 196's from backups that sit queued until their windows close.  The only change to our environment has been the NBU upgrade, all other hardware etc. is exactly the same as it was in 6.0 MP4. We also had an issue this weekend where our hot catalog policy stopped running for no apparent reason.  Tech support could only suggest deleting the old Catalog policy, restarting the NBU services and then re-creating a brand new catalog policy.  This has worked but doesn't explain why the catalog would just fail !!

 

At the moment the most noticeable improvement over 6.0 MP4 seems to be the speed that the admin console responds while navigating around it.  Very helpful when we have to keep going in and manually kicking off backups of policies that didn't start during their allotted window !!

 

Mark

I am in the process of going to 6.5.1 and will be interested in getting some good comparison figures, as the hardware is going to remain unchanged.

 

In my test environment, some LAN based clients have seen a "small" increase in backup speed, but that does not interest me as much as the "recovery" speed, which I would see as slightly more important.

So you believe the Netbackup software itself was the performance limitation in your environment?

 

Otherwise, I assume you made some significant hardware or process changes as part of your upgrade.

I would have to say that I love 6.5.1.  I have seen client backup speeds increase by 7 times.
