status 2106 "Disk volume is down", reauthorizing each media server to the storage server

Hi All,

 

I have a similar problem like this KB article: 

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH190904

 

My question is how to do the "reauthorizing each media server to the storage server" ?

 

Thank you, 

Iwan

    (Add OpenStorage credentials)
       tpconfig -add -storage_server <server name> -stype <server type>
                [-proxy <proxy server name>]
                -sts_user_id <user ID> [-password <password>]
                [-st <storage type>]
                Valid values for storage type (can be added together)
                 Formatted Disk = 1 (DEFAULT)
                 Raw Disk = 2
                 Direct Attached = 4
                 Network Attached = 8 (DEFAULT)

    (Update OpenStorage credentials)
       tpconfig -update -storage_server <server name> -stype <server type>
                -sts_user_id <user ID> [-password <password>]

  • Hi rk1074,

    Thanks very much for the command, but I can just try it next week. I will let you know the result.

  • How close is the tech note to your situation?

    Disk volume down is often casued by lack of response during very busy periods

    This can be helped by adding a touch file to your Master and Media Servers (use the equivalent path for Windows):

    /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/DPS_PROXYDEFAULTRECVTMO

    Add a value of 800 to this file and then re-start the NetBackup daemons / services

    This helps stop the disk (Enteprise Disk / de-dupe etc.) from going up and down during busy backup periods

    Hope this helps

  • Hi All,

    I am sorry to take this long to response back. Actually today I have a chance to try it. The real situation actually is like this:

    o We have 2 master servers in 2 sides(let say side A and side B) for DR purpose using VCS 5.1 (NetBackup 7.5.0.4)

    o The Open Storage is DataDomain

    o On side A the backup to the DataDomain already running fine

    o But after we fail-over to side B all other backup using the Tape ok, except  to the DataDomain, like the article I mentioned before, it said need to "reauthorizing"

    o As suggested I tried using the following command:

    # tpconfig -update -storage_server dd2bck -stype DataDomain -sts_user_id admin -password *****

    and give me this error:

    sts_get_server_prop_byname failed: error 2060001
    one or more invalid arguments
    Invalid server information for type DataDomain server ddroc1bck.
    Authorization failed for OpenStorage server ddroc1bck

    o BTW the command, where should I run on the master server or media server?

    Any  suggestion?

  • Hi All,

    Our SI who did the installation solved the problem, actually the DDboost plug-in was never installed on the master server on the DR site (ddroc1bck).

    After we install the connection are working.
