Dear NBU champions 

I am using NBU 7.5.0.5 on master server win 2k8 R2.

NDMP client -- EMC ISILON

backup selection in NDMP policy --

  • /XYZ             (29GB)
  • /abc          (63GB)

I am facing problem only with /xyz as its completes only in 4th or 5th attampts (with below errors) & every time it writes 30% 40% data on tape , other stream completes with on issue.

Hi Team,

 

ISILON Backup Issue was resolved after installing the Patch-106571 on ISILON.

The issue was smart files generated in ISILON.

I googled and created file NDMP_PROGRESS_TIMEOUT in the path of <install path>\Veritas\NetBackup\db\config    with 10080

 

another file also i created in <install path>\Veritas\NetBackup\MAX_FILES_PER_ADD with 25000 value

I tried but no use.

Please help, Thanks in advance.

The backup selections list must specify directories from the perspective of the
NDMP host.

examples:
/home/dir1/
/vol1

Only directory or volume names are allowed.

Did this backup work anytime?I suspect your backup selection is wrong.

We need to see exactly what you are using for your Backup Selections.  I too use Isilon and went through hell to configure the backups.  You don't find much about Isilon NDMP on Google.  If I had a /ifs/data mines would look like this:

SET EXCLUDE="/.snapshot"
/ifs/data

This would backup everything in /ifs/data and exclude .snapshot

Thanks for the replay sri vani.

 

backup selection paths are right.

Last month i took fullbackup for these streams.

This month only the Issue came.

check thi slink:

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/ndmpxdrdecodeerr

 

Quoting the possible resolution:

"I was getting the same error trying to do NDMP backups from the netapp filer, I was able to resolve this issue by disabling jumbo frames on the NIC, if you go to the NIC properties and then click on configure you should see options to adjust things like performance options, power save options and jumbo frames, disable the jombo frames."

Glad to hear it.  What version of OneFS are you running on the Isilon?

Hi

We are facing similar issue with netbackup 7.5.  Can you please share which OneFS version are you using in your environment.  We are using 8.0.0.4

Thanks

Siva
