Upgrading Solaris clients
I need a solution
Hi All,
I am upgrading Netbackup Solaris clients, as i have only 512 Mb space in most of the servers, which cannot be expanded further.
So i downloaded software in client and chnage below parameter in ./install script
TMPDIR=${TMPDIR:=/tmp} to TMPDIR=${TMPDIR:=/var/tmp}
It worked for me to successfully install client.
However i cant copy that software in each client due to its size hence :
Is this software can be copied to Solrias client from master server for local installation on client.
instead of downloading complete client package -->NetBackup_7.6.0.1_CLIENTS1, can i just copy below file on Solairs clients.
[root@xxxxxx save]# pwd
/usr/openv/pack/NB_CLT_7.6.0.1/save
[root@xxxxxx save]# ls -ltrh
total 1679631
-r-xr-x--- 1 root root 819M Jul 3 2014 NB_CLT_7.6.0.1Solaris.070314_150617.tar.gz
Also let me know , if is there any way i can modify :
update_clients script in master server to use /var/tmp , instead odf /tmp.

VMware Permissions
I need a solution
So I have found this link and used it to setup the initial configuration...
https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH130493.html
My question is whether or not this is the latest and greatest? Are there other permissions that have been proven to be useful to have? We periodically seem to hit some kind of reset button where SAN method restores work for awhile and then stop working. We do our backups via the SAN method which work fine so its odd that we have issues now and again with the restores over SAN. I want to ensure I have the best practices in place for vmware backups and restores.

master and media servers lose tape drives after library reboot
I need a solution
This sounds like a dumb question, but I have looked high and low for a solution here in the forums as well as various vendor sites. Nothing. The basic problem is that our master and media servers lose connectivity to robot and tape drives within a library if the library goes offline (say, for a reboot or even hot-swap replacement of a controller board.)
Our NBU 7.6.0.4 environment consists of a master server and 22 media servers, all running RHEL 6.6. A number of the media servers, and the master server, are zoned a Quantum i6000 tape library with 26 LTO5 drives. We're using Emulex 8Gb HBAs throughout.
When we lose connectivity to our drives and robot occurs, the only effective resolution we've found is to then reboot all of those 23 hosts, which is obviously disruptive to our users (particularly DBAs, whose frequent backup jobs take a hit when there's no server to back up to) and time-consuming for our server team as well.
Upon reboot, all the drives return to normal operational status and are visible from the hosts we expect to see them ... device paths remain the same, etc.
Our belief is that the servers should automatically see the devices when the library (and its drives) return to normal operational status, but this isn't happening. Is this expected behavior? Seems to us that we ought to be capable of replacing a hot-swap controller board (or even rebooting the library) without bringing the entire environment down.
Thoughts?

NetBackup License Keys in use - Symantec Sales Order Certificate
I need a solution
Hello Guys,
Hope you all being good.
I have NetBackup environment where a dedicated Assest Management team takes care of the procurement, renewal and purchasing of licenses w.r.t our NBU. The guys are getting reminders that some of the licenses as per the Symantec Sales Order Certificate are going to expire next month in Sep-2015.
They are really not sure whether those licenses listed in Symantec Sales Order certifcate are currently being used in our NBU environment or not.
They have come to the Operations team to assist them with this information if these licenses/license keys are really in use.
They have given us Symantec Sales-Order certificate which lists the customer information, sales order number, and license keys along with quantities purchased. But I am unable to find any of such license keys which are listed in the certificate in the bpminlicense command output.
C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bpminlicense -list_keys -verbose
1) I would like to know if I am looking at the right place or Am I doing something wrong here?
2) Are the license keys listed in bpminlicense command output are the only ones in use in current environment ?
3) Shouldn't the ones listed in Sales-order certifcate match the ones in bpminlicense command output?
4) How is this possible that none-of the licenses keys listed in Sales-order certficate matches the one in bpminlicense output ?
5) Or is there any other command/output/screen I should look out for which shows me whether the ones listed in Sales-order certficate are indeed in use or not ?
I have faded-away customer sensitive info in above snapshot for the purpose of anonymity.
Please assist on priority.

DB2 backup not complete DB2
I need a solution
Hi all,
Recently, we have tried to backup a DB2 server at our customer's DR site. We have copied the db2.conf and online backup from the DB2 server at Production site. Every thing is the same for both of the server except for the server's name is different. So we locate the db2.conf at <install_path>/DBEXT/db2.conf and the backup script in the same location. The question is when we ran the backup, the parent job complete without the child job even running. What could be wrong? We tried to look into bphdb log but no error recorded. As for the Production server, the backup is complete successful.
Please advice.
Thank you

Netbackup 7.7 Vault Manager service not working...need assistance
I need a solution
Windows 2008r2
Media/Master are on the same server.
Problem existed prior to 7.7 upgrade and new license purchase.
Problem:
Vault Manager Service not working. 'Vault Management' option in the left pane of Administration Console does not appear. Service is set to Automatic with same account details as ever other Netbackup service. I can start the service but appears to have no impact. If I start the service and reboot server, the service does not start on server start up.

VSS question
I need a solution
Hi,
We get intermittent 156 errors on windows backups relating to open files and the Volume Shadow Copy service. I've read this doc about it - https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH38709.html - but have a few questions.
I understand that Netbackup with VSS attempts to make a temporary point-in-time backup copy of an open file and then backs that up. Does it do this with all open files? What if I had a 100gb SQL database mdf file that was open, would VSS attempt to make a temp copy of it?
If I turn off open file backups for a Windows server does that mean I get no backups of open files, including all the key exe files that the windows system and applications run? It sounds like a backup with open file backups turned off would be fairly useless if used to restore a server - is that a fair assessment?
Thanks

Net backup additional media server communication issue on master server.
I need a solution
Hello,
I have installed netbackup master and media server on server [host1] which is redhat linux server with text + GUI mode. Then I have created on more additional media server in same network on another server [host2] which is also redhat server but only text mode is installed on it.
My both the servers [host1] and [host 2] are communicating with each other. Both haveing static ip address.
On [host2] I have install only text mode of redhat...so I am not able to open netbackup console on [host2].
I want to connect and manage [host2] Netbackup console from my [host1] Netbackup console with help of option [Host Properties - Media server (Right click) - Change server]. But change server option is not highlited. And in media server list only local media [host1] server is listed. Remote media server is not avaiable there.
What will be the issue. How can I resolve this and will be able to manage addition media servers from master server.
Regards,
Santosh Pawar.
