The Fiber Transport media server (which has a FC target mode driver so it can
receive data across the SAN) is ONLY required when you want to use a SAN Client
to transfer data to a media server. The data then goes across the SAN vs. the
LAN.
A SAN media server, because it only backs up itself, not other clients, only
uses FC for disk and/or tape access, so an FT media server is not applicable.

Cross-platform catalog moves are not supported. In this case you're going
from SPARC to x64. I can't comment on whether or not it will work, but I'm
pretty sure it's unsupported. You can/should open a case with Symantec to
verify.

Hello,
However, hw contains same OS. I mean both os is Solaris 10.
I will open a case to Symantec.
In fact, I opened for moving the catalog from linux to solaris.
They said moving operation is supported between any kind of unix type.
It really worked in my test environment from linux to solaris.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Any companies that restore legacy platforms

I'm looking for a company that is able to do legacy platform restores of
old operating systems and software versions. I knew of 1 or 2 companies
many years ago that use to provide a service of restoring your older
backups if you couldn't anymore.
Some examples would be restoring from older DLT, LTO or even 9840 media
that contains backups of Solaris 7 or 8 hosts running older version of
Oracle. You can't even buy a SUN server anymore that doesn't require
Solaris 10 as a minimum. A similar thing can apply for legacy Exchange
backups from versions such as 2000 and even 5.5.
Anyone know any companies still around that offer a service such as
this?
Thanks!

I have also heard good things and have had one or two extensive
discussions with their engineers, they seem (have not tried them yet) but
from talking to them, they know all things netbackup and have tools to do
things you can't do with the regular NBU suite.

You may find its not supported (I think they refer to Symantec

me.

It acts much like a normal media server and you just do that, you just
have to get the license installed to allow it to be a SAN Media server.
As such it can only back itself up.
If you have direct attached drives you issue.
If you have a library - you can have some drives just used by that
server (but if those drives fail it cannot use any of the other drives
in the library) If you want your normal media server and your SAN media
server to use any drives in the library you will need to get an SSO
license so they can all share the same drives.
Not that setting up a SAN media server does not make it backup over the
san... if you want that you will have to set up the Fibre Transport -
you will need to look more into that as it only works with specific
hardware.

We are about to set up a system with a NBU SAN Media Server to give

I have not been able to find any documentation on how to install and

an ordinary media server installation and configuration? Is it only
the license that is different?

You don't specify if your query is about "all backups" or about
NetBackup backups.
My average is about 95% - failures due to Change Controls on the servers
- but the Netbackup retry configuration means that most of the time the
second try works. Some failures due to not getting it configured
correctly the first time.
------
Now this is with my new library - and the reason I have a new library is
because my old one was failing too much - at that time my backup average
may have been 80 to 85 %

Hi,
Exp. w/ Sun SL8500s here, all redundant parts for the most part, works
very well (w/ dual ACSLS hosts HA).
Although people have noted on this list before that the ADIC i2000's work
well too.
The Sun SL3000 is good but if you have two robots and one of them gets
stuck pulling or putting in a tape _AND_ the other robot cannot push the
stuck one out of the way (into the service bay) then you may end up with
an inoperable robot.
We looked at the same thing..
With the SL8500 you have four LSMs, (8 bots total) so if one LSM has a
problem, it will not affect the other 3.
For the SL3000 it is one robot that controls all the levels of the robot.
Justin.

Actually if you think about it a SAN Media Server is no use as an FT Media
Server - as it cannot backup other clients. Strangely it could restore them as
SAN Media Servers are allowed to do alternate client restores...just not
backups.

It acts much like a normal media server and you just do that, you just
have to get the license installed to allow it to be a SAN Media server.
As such it can only back itself up.
If you have direct attached drives you issue.
If you have a library - you can have some drives just used by that
server (but if those drives fail it cannot use any of the other drives
in the library) If you want your normal media server and your SAN media
server to use any drives in the library you will need to get an SSO
license so they can all share the same drives.
Not that setting up a SAN media server does not make it backup over the
san... if you want that you will have to set up the Fibre Transport -
you will need to look more into that as it only works with specific
hardware.

We are about to set up a system with a NBU SAN Media Server to give
the system direct access to tape drives
due to high throughput requirements.
I have not been able to find any documentation on how to install and
set up this. Is it so that we should perform
an ordinary media server installation and configuration? Is it only
the license that is different?
Sincerely

It just depends on if you have a "need" to have the data only travel the
SAN or if it is ok to travel the LAN.
I have SAN media servers but do not have FT. Just depends on what you
want. But I know a number of people who thought SAN media server meant
by default that it backed up over the SAN.

I have a problem.
I'm new to Netbackup. Currently we have a 6.53 install with a Spectra Logic
t950 robot with LTO-4 Drives and LTO-4 Media. However there used to be a
different server with LTO-3 drives and LTO-1-3 media and a different hostname
and catalog this was decommissioned about 3 years ago.
Now I have a couple requests to retrieve data off some of the LT0-1 media and
the old catalog is no where to be found.
I have an LTo-3 Drive but its standalone and won't integrate with the robot.
How would you all proceed?
