Hello colleagues: I need to verify if we can scan VMware images which reside in OST devices (HPE Catalyst and/or Dell DataDomain). I have configured my environment with NBU 10.4.0.1, byo RHEL 9.2 media server. I am able to scan Standard and Windows workload type but not for VMware type. The error that appears in the scan job "Skipping backup image: ClientName from scanning due to reason: Instant access capable copy not found" I have testing Instant access for the VM used to scan the image and it is not possible to use IA. I know that VMware workload type is compatible with malware scan, but I wonder if actually the image need to reside on MSDP storage server instead of OST storage server. I dont find any compatibility document regarding this, have you experienced this problem?. Thanks and best regards oolmedooolmedo2 days agoLevel 426Views0likes1CommentVeritas Flex appliance - network bond layers
We have a flex 5360, and we duplicate to an access 3350 We have been seeing performance issues, and they were resolved by changing the xmit_hash_policy layers By default it is layer2, needs to be changed to layer3+4! ssh to flex, run "support shell" command to get limited shell cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0 BONDING_OPTS="mode=802.3ad miimon=100 xmit_hash_policy=layer3+4" If you don't have the layer3+4, you are not using all your outbound NICS! Our flex was setup by Veritas and even after almost a year of calls for issues no one realized this was configured less than optimally! I am seeing tremendous improvement in throughput after making the change and rebooting my flex.Genericus3 days agoModerator47Views1like2CommentsLow replication speed between Netbackup domains
Good afternoon! There is a problem. There is a low data transfer rate between the main Netbackup domain and the remote Netbackup domain. The transfer rate is approximately 5-10% of the total channel bandwidth. Low speed is observed when performing backup vmware, file system, and, finally, -auto image replication. The probable cause of low speed through the data transfer channel is latency. Perhaps colleagues have experience working with a channel that has high latencies? What transport and application level parameters are applied, including? What set of Multi-Threaded Agent parameters do colleagues use? Please share your experience. For information. Parameters for nbd transport, which are applied on media servers: \Common Files\VERITAS\VxMS\Shared\VDDK\bin\VixDiskLib.ini vixDiskLib.nfcAio.Session.BufSizeIn64KB = 16 vixDiskLib.nfcAio.Session.BufCount = 4AndriiPushkarov3 days agoLevel 552Views0likes1CommentWORM Instance in Flex Appliance
Hi guys, We are about to deploy a Flex Appliance WORM instance, and we have some concerns regarding its usage : Do we still need a MediaServer instance when using the WORM instance? Is the WORM instance considered as WORM storage that still requires a MediaServer instance to write to it, or is it an all-in-one instance (MediaServer + WORM storage)? In summary, when creating the WORM instance, does NBU recognize it as a MediaServer or not? When working with WORM, is deduplication still utilized? Typically, we create MSDP volumes within MediaServer instances. Wondering if WORM uses also Dedup. Does enabling WORM impact the appliance's capacity consumption? Some other vendors claim that enabling WORM can double or even triple capacity usage when using Dedup with WORM, which raises concerns about its practicality in our case, because the capacity of our Flex system is already low, and if that's the case, we'll have to avoid using WORM. Thanks in advance for any feedback given. Regards.Solved160Views0likes6CommentsCustomized Amazon Provider doesn't list bucket in disk pool wizard

NetBackup supports Instant Access for VMware virtual machines, SQL Server, Oracle, etc., through MSDP BYO servers. Can the backup copies used for instant access be stored on third-party dedicated backup devices, such as Dell EMC's DD storage devices or Huawei's OceanProtect X-series storage devices?gang7 days agoLevel 318Views0likes2CommentsOracle Backup - Database must not contain any data files that are in backup mode.
Dear online team, Since upgrading from NetBackup 9.1 to NetBackup 10.4 we I have errors with Oracle backups if two jobs are run simultaneously. Let's say large database that needs 10 hours for the FULL backup to complete. During the time this backup is running, another Archive Log backup starts. (we have archive log backups running every half hour) This Archive Log backup fails with following error that was not the case previously: (5457) Database must not contain any data files that are in backup mode. This was not the case before and you could run as many jobs as you want at the same time.. This only happens to container databases that has pluggable databases inside the container. CDBs Has anyone experienced anything similar? Any help would be really appreciated. I even updated to NetBackup 10.5 but issue still remains..17Views0likes0CommentsThe service user account does not have the write permissions on the specified path.(9202)
