Hi Jason

 

Try

vmoprcmd -xdraw -h media-server

 

In my opinion the output is much easier to parse.

 

Cheers

I've been working on rewriting some scripts that I received from a list
member.  Originally, they were written for Unix, and I'm running Windows.
What I'm up against is this: I need to check the drives to see if they are
holding the tapes I want to export.  Here's what was used:

vmoprcmd -d ds -h master_server

 

However, the output is less than useable on a Windows box without installing
extra stuff.  Here's the sample:

 


                                  DRIVE STATUS

Drv Type   Control  User      Label  RecMID  ExtMID  Ready   Wr.Enbl.  ReqId
  0 hcart3   TLD                  Yes    LT0007  LT0007   Yes     Yes
0
  2 hcart3   TLD                  Yes    LT0007  LT0007   Yes     Yes
0
  1 hcart3   TLD                  Yes    000108  000108   Yes     Yes
0
  1 hcart3   TLD                  Yes    000108  000108   Yes     Yes
0

 

 

Is there an easier way to grab this information?  And by easier, I mean
something that VBScript could use?  Without awk here, I'm dead.  And before
you mention it, I know there's a windows port of awk.  I'm trying to do this
as self contained as possible.

 

Thanks,

Jason

From my understanding, SMTP is just the mail server.....Blat is a
client.
 
On a unix box, you might be running sendmail (SMTP), but you still need
to run mail, mailx, (blat) etc, to send alerts.
 
In a corporate office environment, you might be running Exchange, but
you still need Outlook (or another POP/IMAP client) to talk to Exchange.

                Yes,  but that only states that the nbmail.cmd in bin
directory may need to be configured.  When looking at that script,  it
only refers to using BLAT.  No info on SMTP

        Yes, of course your right. Param 4 is schedule type, param 5 is
status. But what's param 6, stream number? I can not find any
information about that in the 5.1 nor the 6.0 documentation???

From what I understand, this is for the GUI only, and only affect things
like reporting times, so if you don't have the Java GUI installed on
this particular server, then the referenced directory would not exist.
 
I'm guessing since a windows server has its own "windows" GUI, then
there wouldn't be much reason to have the Java GUI installed.....hence
the missing dir.
 
If however, you have the Windows Java GUI installed on your
PC/workstation, you'd probably find the directory there, and that would
be the box you'd want to apply this patch on.

From what I understand, the issue is Here:
 
We then setup a policy for Exchange DB backups using the Exchange
Virtual Server Name (Difffernt Hostname/IP than the NBu Virtual Name) as
the client & the NBU Virtual Server Name for the Media Server in the
Storage Unit and configuring the policy to use that SU.

Your Exchange Virtual Server Name and the NBU Virtual Server Name for
the Media Server must be one and the same.
 
Netbackup does a client/server hostname comparison when the backup
starts. If the hostnames are the same, you're good...if they're not the
same, you need a "full" media server license.
 
That's kinda the whole crux of the SAN Media Server concept.

        Hi All:
        
        Am working to try and get a Clustered (SFWHA v4.3 MP1) Exchange
Server to function as a SAN Media Server (and have the Media Server
failover with the Exchnage instance).
        
        Here's our setup:
        
        2 Node Cluster SFWHA v4.3 MP1
        Windows 2003 Server (Standard) SP1
        MS Exchange 2003 SP2
        NBU v6.0 MP4 (SAN Media Server)
        MS Echange Agent
        SSO enabled and devices properly configured and operable from
both cluster nodes.
        
        We were told by Symnatec support to add the local cluster node
hostnames as Media Servers an then to use the NetBackup Virtual Name as
the owner of the Storage Unit configured for the SAN Media server.
        
        We then setup a policy for Exchange DB backups using the
Exchange Virtual Server Name (Difffernt Hostname/IP than the NBu Virtual
Name) as the client & the NBU Virtual Server Name for the Media Server
in the Storage Unit and configuring the policy to use that SU.
        
        We tried to run a backkup and NBU complained that the SAN Media
Server license didn't allow you to backup other hosts and errored out.
        
        Other than upgrading the SAN Media Server to a full blown NBU
Media server license, is there anyway to configure the cluster and/or
the NBU policy to work successfully with a SAN Media Sever?
        
        Any input or suggestions would be appreciated.
        
        Thanks in advance,
