Expired Tapes not changing over to Scratch NBU10.5
Dear all, I`m seeking your advice on troubleshooting this issue. We run several master servers on different sites in our nbu environment. One location has problems with transferring expired tapes automatically to the scratch pool. NBU 10.5 on Windows Server 2022 (Same Master+Media server) Already tested: 1. Checked for "NoExpire" file 2. Checked bptm log for any "delete_expired_media" entries -> these can be found frequently 3. Ran bptm -delete_all_expired (no output in cmd was given) G:\Veritas\NetBackup\bin>bptm -delete_all_expired 4. Ran bpexpdate -deassignempty \NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bpexpdate -m A00212 -deassignempty Search for empty media that meet the following criteria: Media id: A00212 Continue? y/n (n)y No media matching criteria were found to be deassigned. no entity was found 5. Checked media for its origin pool vmquery -m A00212 -X ... Previous Pool: Scratch 6. Checking tape media with bpmedialist \NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bpmedialist -m A00212 Server Host = sbbg05 id rl images allocated last updated density kbytes restores vimages expiration last read <------- STATUS -------> On Hold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A00212 3 2469 10/15/2024 19:00 10/18/2024 23:34 hcart 12306768008 0 MPX 11/18/2024 22:54 N/A EXPIRED FULL 0 The only thing that seems to be working at the moment is manually resetting the tapes through bpexpdate <mediaid> -d 0 Any advice? Thanks!Automating a NBU Restore with bprestore
Greetings, NetBackup 10.3.0.1 Master and Media servers Entire environment is Linux - RHEL 9 I'm looking for a way to automate a NetBackup restore in a script. I do speak "BASH". :-) I would like to take the server name, start and end date range and the path/filename from a menu and then do all the crunch work behind the scenes for data recovery. Some of the data will be on disk in the MSDP pool while others will be older data to be restored from tape. Backup policy is a Standard policy backing up 2 specific locations on a Linux server. Has anyone done this already? Tips and Pointers welcomed. :-)
Where's my Gigabytes?
I've got a duplication running (manual "bpduplicate" with a "-Bidfile") that seems to be moving about 50G every 10 minutes or so (just an "eyeball average"). This is definitely not reflected in the GB/sec counter at the bottom of the job detail screen. Even if I acknowledge that it's not frequently updated or even updated only in between images in the list of images supplied to bpduplicate, I seem to be missing a lot of gigabytes. Anybody know where my GB are? screen snap attached. -Mark
Cumulative Incremental Netbackup
Good morning, I am currently experiencing a backup problem on our file server. This is a multi TB server. FULL backup takes around 30 hours to back up (it takes place on weekends) We have implemented the cumulative incremental backup week. Some weeks, the backup will be completed in 1 hour or 2 hours Other weeks it will take 14 - 15 hours to complete. There aren't as many files modified to save for that long a week. I've heard of backups based on the archive bit. Can you tell me if in my case it is better to deactivate it? Thank you in advance for your feedback. We are currently in Netbackup 10.3.0.1, and my file server is in Windows 2012 R2
How to add a Oracle RAC instance with #nboracmd to 10.4
Hi, we use Netbackup 10.1.1 with OIP in our production and manage our Oracle assets with #nboraadm. - Everything works fine! In our Test environment we use Netbackup 10.4.0.1 and everything has changed :-( The CLI commend #nboraadm was replaced with #nboracmd and this command is not so powerful! With the command "#nboracmd modify database" i'm able to register the Database, but it is not possible to add a new Instance to the Database. Has somebody the same issue and can provide a solution? I'm sure over the API it will work, but i don't use API scripts.Orace RAC credentials validation is failing
Hi, Customer has oracle RAC (12CR2) on top of windows 2016 (two nodes) which is compatible in netbackup CL. communication is working fine and confirmed that port 1556 is enabled between client and master and media and vice verse. (bptestbpcd and bpnetconn are successful). webUI discovery is able to discover the databases but when we are using the credential validation we are facing below error the same account (oracle sys) is working fine locally on instances (so it is not locked out nor has permission issue as it is DBA ). anything I am missing in this scenario?
