Re: Restore to Original OS from Alternate (Parallel) OS
Hi Martin, Luckily (???), this is not a DC. Its a 2000 member server with SQL abd about 15 other apps. I've never had much luck bringing a dead OS back to life from tape. I'm hoping that by 'unmounting' the origianal OS we may have a better shot. Jeff261Views0likes0CommentsRestore to Original OS from Alternate (Parallel) OS
Hi All, I have a Dell 2650 that is dead. It appears a failed UPS coupled with dirty power has corrupted the original OS install. I can't get in to the recovery console. I can't get my sysadmin tools to work on password recovery because there a no DOS PERC drivers. I was able to load another instance of the OS (in \WINNTNEW). \WINNTNEW is sharing a lot of things with \WINNT. If I load BUE 9.1 onto the new OS (rather than Program Files, using a folder in \WINNTNEW), can I perform a restore to the dead OS? I'm concerned with SystemState. Has anyone had any luck with this? Thanks, Jeff261Views0likes2CommentsRe: Swapped out Dell PV122 TBU unit
Hi Michael, We found on a similar PowerVault (132T) a FW upgrade did wonders for the way BUE played with the PowerVault. I also found that you do not want to check "Inventory Drives when Backup Exec starts". It seems if the PowerVault is initailizing or performing its own inventory, and then BUE issues an Inventory command, the unit will freeze. I now manually Inventory from BUE after the PowerVault has stopped its inialization and inventory process. Jeff382Views0likes0CommentsRe: Veritas Version 8.6 upgrade
Do you have a test environment? IIRC, BUE 9.1 honors the 8.6 serial numbers. Try downloading 9.1 here: http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/264658.htm For service packs and driver updates, see: http://www.veritas.com/be_support/www?schDType=ALL&schDVer=9.1&cmd=docPages&product_code=10&pageid=1&sort=&docOp=search&sOrder=null&cat=null&scat=null&can=null&scn=null257Views0likes0CommentsMultiple Tape Alerts after Inventory
Hi All, After I swap in tapes to a PoverVault 132T, I receive the message below. I used to think it was due to Hard Read/Write errors on the media, but it is not the case. What would be some common causes of this issue? The critical below is of concern. Additionally, the PowerVaulty has completed it's inventory befor I run the BUE inventory. Also note that this message is inserted between the inventory of slot 2 and slot 3. Is this significant? A quick search last week turned up nothing on the issue.
