Configuration ZFS Storage Appliance Netbackup 7.6

[msanches]

Hi, All We have a ZFS Appliance 7120 and we would like the set up the equipment in Netbackup (7.6.0.4) (by OST) But we have a messages the error below (in wizard) image

[RiaanBadenhorst]

I'll assume this is a supported device for OST. Have you installed the plugin provided for the ZFS device on the media server? Can you ping the device from the media server? Its complaining about not being able to reach it.

Hi, Riaan

Thanks by attention for this situation 

Yes, sure

We installed plugin on MediaServer with successfully, see;

[admbkp@(mediaserver) ~]$ sudo /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpstsinfo -pi -stype oracle-zfssa
Plugin Info:
        Plugin Name: libstspioracle-zfssaMT.so
        Prefix: oracle-zfssa:
        Label: ZFS 7k Plugin
        Build Version: 1
        Build Version Minor: 0
        Operating Version: 11
        Vendor Version: v1 ZFS plugin

 And we can run ping (ZFS appliance) with succesfully, see:

[admbkp@(mediaserver)  ~]$ ping nxbrexzfs02.
nxbrexzfs02 is alive

Thanks

Hi,

Ok next steps would be to make sure that both the master, media and the actual device can resolve each other and that all ports are open between them.

Did you get a Config Guide from your OST vendor? My experience with different types of OST devices was that initial setup is totally different with each make. So, unless we have insight into the documentation for this appliance with NBU, we cannot provide any useful assistance.

Hi, Marianne and Riaan

Riann

What ports it would be for verify on ZFS Appliance Storage or between (MediaServer and ZFS) ?

Marianne

Yes, It's able documentation for Oracle (ZFS Storage Appliance)

It's Attached de documentation for configuration ZFS (OST_admin_guide_v100.pdf)

One information very important, that in doc is mentioned only NBU 7.1 and 7.5

[Marianne]

I see in the guide that you have provided that FQDN must be used:

p.13: 

Enter the storage server details. For the storage server name, you must use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the appliance; otherwise, optimized duplication may fail. If the FQDN has not been used, you should unregister the appliance, delete the appliance from the host cache, and re-register it. Specific instructions for this process are located in the Troubleshooting section of this guide. 

Can you confirm forward and reverse name lookup between the Appliance and media server?
Check comms in both directions.

Hi, Marianne (Good Morning)

Yes, we are setting the ZFS with FQDN, yet the error is the same

Confirmed forward and reverse name lookup between Appliance and MediaServer are OK

[Marianne]

You may need to ask Oracle about firewall ports.

It seems only Data Domain has shared port requirements with Symantec (as per  NetBackup Network Ports Reference Guide  )

Have you confirmed that the media server is functioning correctly as media server?
Can you add Basic Disk STU as a test and see if backups are running fine?

Have you checked and confirmed license keys installed on the media server?

Hi

The soluction was remove o host configured by NDMP, and re-configure the ZFS Appliance by OST (OpenStorage)

[Marianne]

You never mentioned anything about NDMP?

[msanches]

Hi, Marianne

(Yes) I never mentioned that we did have the configuration (for the same ZFS by NDMP with short name)

After that deleted this configuration (NDMP), was possible configure with successfully

(Thanks for attention) :)
