SAN Client Backup

Goal_mg
Level 3

Hi All,

First of all let me give my infra details.

Master Server

OS - Windows 2012 R2 (2 nodes) Windows cluster

NBU Version - 8.1.1

Media Server

NetBackup Appliacne 5330

NBU Version - 8.1.1

We are facing multiple issue with FT client backups. Below is the list.

1. FT media server goes missing from FT client ( NBU console -  Devices ->SAN client)

2. All FT pipes will not be listed under the FT cleint and some times it shows FT pipe "not active" status. Backups running through LAN instead of SAN

3. FT backup to MSDP pool will be slow but FT backup to tape will be fast ( FT media server tape drive).

4. We see multiple times appliance port getting resetted. Many errors are logged in fabric logs.

For all the above issue we restart the nbftsrv servcie in applaince and everything come back to normal. FT media server, FT pipes come back online. Backup run through FT and speed as excepted. But after a day or 2 again issue reocurres.

We have multiple cases with support but no fix. Till now apart from restarting the applaine or restart the NBU services.

Everything fine from zoning and swtich end. We dont see any fault from farbic end.

Please let me know if any one came across such issue and any fix for same. Let me know if you require any further details.

Not many of us use FT, and it's been three weeks since you posted with no replies here.  So, hopefully by now you have already decided to open an official Veritas Support case, and hopefully your problem is now resolved too.

If Veritas Support were able to assist you in resolving your technical issues... then I'm hoping that you might be able to explain the solution... if you are allowed to?  Thank you.
