Misha,
My heart goes out to you, you're not in the best situation.
I have worked at a place with a similar size catalogue but they are worse
off in that they have no downtime. They were getting quite a bit of support
from Symantec. Symantec would get them to run several queries and request
the output. They would then instruct them on which commands to run and which
records and/or images to fix.
All I can say is that if you can't afford the downtime then you may need to
log a Sev 1 and/or get Symantec consulting involved. Again, I feel for you,
I really do. I am in a similar situation but have a smaller catalogue and do
have enough time (fingers crossed) to run nbcc.
I know there is atleast one guy reading this mail group who could help you
but it's a question of how busy he is right now.
Good luck !
Dom
PS The place I mentioned before and it's probably not the only one, didn't
have any catalogue backups until NB6s hotbackup was available to them. It
brings it into perspective on how some sites function.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Catalog size, bpdbm, nbcc ( UNIX ) [NC]
UNIX admins:
I wonder how common it is to have a catalog of sizes at or above 600GB and
if someone can share practical tips, tricks and just general experience
they use to deal with tasks like:
a) performing catalog backups
b) performing a consistency check
c) dealing with catalogs corruptions
The issue I have to deal with right now is increased ammount of unfamous
"unable to process request(228)", which from my experience are catalogs
corruptions, caused by hardware hickups, server panics, etc.
To address the corruption by identifying orphan entries, one should run
when no backups are active
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm -consistency
The issue is that with 500GB catalog size it takes almost 40 hours for the
command to complete and I do not have that 40 hours window ... the longest
window I have is 6 - 12 hours.
I'll deal with this specific problem as I did before, but in any case just
wanted to hear the community thoughts on catalogs sizes, NBCC, error 228
and all that non-sense we have to deal with.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP and SSO in NetBackup 6.0 [NC]
Hi Mike,
Effectively, there is nowhere this information on Symantec site. If this
is a prerequisite, Symantec would have to give this information on a
document.
For me until now , this is not a prerequisite but I'm not sure, and I
don't know if my Netapp's contact know about this. I will ask them and let
you know.
If somebody knows, welcome...
Gilles.

Gilles,
I am not 100% sure of this, I believe "tape.reservations scsi" is
required. I would suggest that, since this is an option in the NetApp OS
not a NetBackup option, that you check NetApp's support to see if that
option is needed for drive sharing.
Thank you,

Thanks,
Do we need to setup the NetApp option "tape.reservations scsi" on the
NetApp filers or is it not necessary ??

Justin,
The answer to your questions is yes, if you were at 7.1.1 or 7.2.1 or
higher of the ONTap OS for all the NetApp filers involved you could do SSO
with the Master, Media, and NDMP devices having any number of them sharing
the same drives.
Thank you,
