Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup Archive and Restore taking forever on DR server

Ed, Rusty,
Have you noticed if the
load on the DNS servers has gone down? I remember building an HPUX master
server with thousands of clients. Our master server hammered the DNS server.
We ended up configuring a DNS caching server on our own master. It didn't
add a lot to the load on the master, and it severely reduced the network
traffic to the DNS server and almost eliminated the load on the DNS server.
I haven't run with 7.x
yet and since we are in process of building out a 7.x Linux master server
I was kind of curious to see if this was still an issue with 7.
Thanks,
Bryan

If this is version 7.0.1, there is a
hostname caching 'feature' now in NetBackup (Which I do NOT like, Symantec!!!).
It caches the IP for each host configured in NBU and sometimes this can
result in the incorrect IP being tied to the hostname. The default TTL
for this cached data is one hour, but you can refresh it by running the
following command on the Master/Media server(s) and/or clients:
bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache
So, you could see that even though the name resolution may be fixed in
DNS or hosts, NBU may still have it cached. I've heard there's a way to
reduce the time this is refreshed, but I don't remember where it's at.
The DNS caching behavior
is controlled by the 2nd parameter of the
master server's VNET_OPTIONS in bp.conf; units are in seconds. The
default in 7.0.1 is 1 hour, but we've reduced this to 5 min in our
environment without ill effect:
VNET_OPTIONS = 120 300 200
40 3 1 30 5 1793 32 0 0
