Different networks on Flex Appliances
Hi Guys, I hope you can help me with this, our customer bought 2 Flex Appliances 5350 and we have clients from two different network segments (192.168.x.x and 10.70.) I´m not sure about the deployment, the whole idea is to have only one MSDP server and only one worm server. Does anyone knows how to configure this? How the cabling would go? My idea is to cable two ports to each switch and then assign each link aggregation on each instance, am I right?
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.
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 ? Thanks for your answers :)Flex OS version 3.0 is not really compatible with 10.3.0.1 NBU version?
Hello, We are aware that the flex OS version 3.0 is not compatible with NBU version 10.3.0.1 however we have this scenario that we are required to upgrade the NBU Primary/master server to version 10.3.0.1.The primary/master server is BYO (physical server, not an instance of that flex appliance) but the disk pool is one of the instance of that flex. If we proceed to upgrade the primary/master server, Do you know if the backup and restore will not be working after upgrade since they are not compatible? Note: We have currently issue with flex OS upgrade to the latest one that's why upgrade of OS is not possible right now.
