hello guys,

can any one help me understanding this. I am very new to net backup and trying to understand how it works.

I have a question for a policy that is currently running. From the output of bpdbjobs | grep -i active ...i can see the following

466859 Backup Active POL_E12_DB_ONLINE Daily-Full-Control
ukcsbdw1-p ukcsbbk1-p 16485
466861 Backup Active POL_E12_DB_ONLINE Daily-Full-Slave
ukcsbdw1-p ukcsbbk1-p 16511
466862 Backup Active POL_E12_DB_ONLINE Daily-Full-Slave
ukcsbdw1-p ukcsbbk1-p 16511
466863 Backup Active POL_E12_DB_ONLINE Daily-Full-Slave
ukcsbdw1-p ukcsbbk1-p 16511
466864 Backup Active POL_E12_DB_ONLINE Daily-Full-Slave
ukcsbdw1-p ukcsbbk1-p 16511



jz wanted to know why for POL_E12_DB_ONLINE there are 5 secissions running

you are most likely streaming with that policy. Go the attributes tab on that policy and check and see if you have allow multiple data streams checked.

well tnks it is set to Yes.....but can u pls tell me can these sessions be increased or decreased...and How?....one more thing...whether these simultaneous session writes on a particular media or diff medias simultaneously

[Abhsihek_Malhot]

oh so sorry....it is not no...the attributes are as follow

Policy Name: POL_E12_DB_ONLINE

Policy Type: SAP
Active: yes
Effective date: 01/18/2004 00:00:00
Mult. Data Streams: no
Frozen Image: 0
Backup Copy: 0

[Dennis_Strom]

It is being controlled by the Max Jobs/Policy. I'm failry sure.
What is in the file list?

hi i guess u r right..it is dependednt on no of jobs configured.......but jz one more thing since there r so many jobs running ...are these writing on diffe medias or on same medias....and how can we find that which medias are being used for a particular active session from cli...as we dont have access to gui...

[Dennis_Strom]

bpimmeida -l -media xxxxxx -d 12/01/2006 12:12:12 -e 12/04/2006 12:12:12 -M masterservername | grep servername
servername is the name of the server being backed up.
-d is the start date
-e is the end date

you can look at the command with
man -M /opt/openv/man bpimmedia
