New version of virtual machine which can be used to testing and training.

MHVTL is a open source VTL project developed by Symantec employee - Mark Harvey. (http://sites.google.com/site/linuxvtl2/)

I added ISCSI functionality by integrating MHVTL with STGT (http://stgt.sourceforge.net/)

___________________________

Ubuntu Server 11.04 x64 (without kernel patching and recompilation)
VMware Virtual Machine (Fusion, Workstation)

IP: 192.168.52.143 (/etc/sysconfig/network)
login: user1
pass: user1
root - "sudo su -"

300 GB btrfs filesystem on lvm (lvm and btrfs can be easily resized)
___________________________

mhvtl 0.18-16
stgt 1.0.17 (ISCSI targets)

1x L700
4x LTO4 (compression factor=1)
60x LTO4 tape (5GB)

___________________________

ISCSI STGT targets are created automatically after mhvtl start.

start/stop commands:
/etc/init.d/start-mhvtl-iscsi start
/etc/init.d/start-mhvtl-iscsi stop
___________________________

BTRFS filesystem has snapshot functionality so we can create snapshots of mhvtl setting and tape data, for example:
btrfs subvolume snapshot  /opt/mhvtl /opt/snapshot/mhvtl_12_06_2001
btrfs subvolume snapshot  /opt/etc /opt/snapshot/etc_12_06_2001
(/etc/mhvtl linked to /opt/etc/mhvtl)

___________________________

Backup and restore tested with NetBackup 7.0.1 installed on Windows 2008 x64 R2
___________________________

Virtual machine can be imported into VMware ESX infrastructure using VMware Converter.

Hi Marek,

    Could you please upload a new (live) link to download the vm? I'm a new user to Netbackup and I'm attending Symantec Netbackup seminars, so this will be useful for me.

Thanks,

I converted the original VM 7 format to VM 8 so that it could be hosted in new versions on VMWare Workstation (8/9) and ESXi 5.1.
