Re: [Veritas-bu] VBR Setup Q's

Right, we're looking to getting into the same boat as you
Rusty.
On
another note (to close the original question ;-), I've "fixed" my VBR setup
issue: it just started working after I cycled the Netbackup services a few
times (due to a SFHA upgrade I was performing on the Netbackup cluster).
Clear
as mud.
Boris,
VBR will not be
included in 7.0. There will be some reporting included in Ops Center which may
be new reports to the base NetBackup product, but there will also be another
option for additional, advanced, reporting - this is probably the stuff most
of us would want.
My XSP licensing
also includes VBR, but we still decided on Aptare anyway as it had already
paid for itself.

Unfortunately I am in the same situation. I have Aptare and I am happy
with it, but now we have VBR for free, and it will be included in NBU 7.0. My
management doesn't want to pay for the renewal for Aptare :(
It looks like
Symantec is going to force a lot of customers to use their reporting tool
rather then anything else. I was hoping to use Aptare for the storage and VM
environment as well. Symantec priced us too high for the storage side
thought.

That's crazy. It sounds
like they are digging for more info or trying to get you to convert to
VBR.
We are on
this licensing model and the data we send them is via Aptare. I don't
understand why they are making you do that.
Sorry, that was of no help to you.
We installed an older version of VBR to test against Aptare and it wasn't
anywhere near as complicated as you are describing.
I might suggesting making sure
that there isn't a specific port/ports that need to be open? Does VBR have the
equivalent of checkinstall?

Hello
all,
(Hopefully there's a user or two out there who's using VBR instead
of Aptare ;-)
Long story short, Symantec is trying to convince
me to change my licensing scheme to a completely usage-based licensing model
(some of you probably are doing this) instead of the current individual
license purchase/support I have currently. Doesn't cost me anything to
check it out, with the caveat they're forcing me to install and configure VBR,
even though I have a fully functional Aptare server that could give them
(likely) the exact data they need.
Anyways, VBR 6.6 looks like a beast,
this user's guide is 617 pages long and honestly, for the once per year
I'm going to run a report (if I go through with this), it ain't worth fully
learning. Looking for some quick hits on how to set it up. I've got the
VBR install done, and I've set it up pretty much as far as I can go without
help. Here's what I've done:
1) Install VBR Server onto a Windows
server.
2)
Install VBR Agent onto the same Windows server.
3) Install RAC (Netbackup Remote
Administration Console 6.5GA) onto the same Windows server.
4) Added the name of the
VBR Server to the bp.conf on my master server (RedHat, 6.5.3.1) , confirmed
the VBR server can run a "bpdbjobs -S <master_server>"
successfully.
5) Added a data collector instance within the VBR Agent
configuration.
I left the polling intervals at their defaults, and
backups ran normally last night but no data was collected. Did I miss
out on any key setup steps?
Cheers,
Jon
