[Veritas-bu] FW: Anyone heard of 6.5.2a ?

People,

This info pertains to the files I mailed info about earlier.

The three files that you refer to comprise the entire set of code changes that are planned for release in the forthcoming 6.5.2a.

These changes fix two different issues that happen to produce the exact same symptom:

   for a multistreamed policy...
   on a master that has been UPGRADED to 6.5.2...
   if the first schedule to run for that policy is an incremental...
   that incremental will back up ALL files, not just the recently-changed ones.

   (this will only be true for this very first time the policy runs the incremental schedule; subsequent incremental backups of this policy will behave properly)

This info was told to me by support when they mailed me but forgot to mail it out until someone (who prefers not to be named, thanks X) reminded me about the info.

Cheers,

Dominik

All I have received after installing 6.5.2 is a couple of library binaries and a command that appears to link them in.

libVdb.so
libVdbMT.so
streamsfile_update

Not sure if this is or will be part of 6.5.2a ??? Anyway, have not applied them as yet as since I haven't had a chance to bring our master server down.

Is 6.5.2 being promoted as a fix for windows environments ? We have a mix of windows and unix clients but our master server is running Solaris 10 x86. Does this mean it probably won't fix the issues on our master server ?

So, not for that particular bug.

I've found 6.5.2 to be quite stable (and to fix some problems I've had with network timeouts backing up Active Directory hosts in a VMware environment as regular clients) under with an HP-UX 11iv2 master.

Mark,

Is this with windows or UNIX as well ? My 6.5.2 Solaris 10 install seems to be running fine with some critical policies listed.

Regards,

Dominik

Jay,

The critical policies issue was raised by another member of this mailing list a while ago but even after removing these from the policy, the catalog will still fail every now and then. It appears to be an issue with nbdbm database verification but they have been unable to debug it yet. I hadn't heard of 6.5.2 until I talked with support yesterday, hence my question.

Thanks

July 10th is the release date.

Here's a note about the catalog backup issue:
