Flex Appliance support for iSCSI
Hi folks, Does anyone know if Flex Appliance supports iSCSI, as we intend to use the MediaServer application as our "Backup Host" for Nutanix AHV cluster backup, which will require iSCSI protocol to perform the backup through Nutanix's "iSCSI data services IP address". If not, this mean that we'll have to configure a separate Server/VM with iSCSI, right ? Regards.Flex Appliance Sizing
Hi Guys, I'm new to Netbackup products, even more so to its Appliances. We've received a new Flex 5260 appliance, which we're going to configure. Before starting the configuration, we're consulting the Veritas documentation to better understand how the device works. For a first review, two questions come to mind: Size of the application instances volumes : In our Appliance, we'll create two instances, one Primary and one MediaServer (MSDP); How can we get NBU recommendations regarding volumes sizes ? (Primary Catalog, MSDP, AdvDisk, Staging ... Etc). In the configuration of a new MediaServer instance, we came across the following volumes : MSDP, AdvancedDisk, Staging. And since we are going to use Dedup, then automatically we'll create an MSDP volume. In this case, should we set AdvancedDisk and Staging to 0 GB ? What is the purpose of the "Staging volume" ? Is there any sort of Sizing Tool provided by Veritas for this purpose ? To get the right requirements for each component depending on the environment to be backed up (Number of clients, FET, BET ...etc.) Thanks in advance for any provided guidance. Regards.
Integration NetBackup Appliance - Nutanix
Hi Guys, I´m following the documentation but I´m lost at the point to take backups, so I have some questions: - According to the documentation, we should use ISCSI, is this documentation related to backups/restores? - The Primary and the media server are in the same 5250 NetBackup appliance, should I need an access host? - If needed, is this access host a VM in the Nutanix environment?
Master and media instance connectivity issue in 5260 flex appliance.
Hello, I have connected eth1/nic2 and eth2/nic3 to a 1G network switch temporary (Later will move on 10g network) and created a bond between these interfaces with bonding mode balance rr. Assigned VLAN tags to the bond interface and created master instance but getting instance connectivity issue (destination host unreachable). Please suggest.failed disks
Hello, We have an appliance 5250 S series with two shelves 2u12 we get 2 disks failure (1 disk on each shelf), a hot spare drive from each shelf has replaced a failed disk we have opened an SR with veritas and they are shpping two new disks our question is the following : what is the situation if another disk get failed before we recieved the new disks? knowing that the volumes are pre configured with raid6 , does the data will be lost ?
