MSDP POOL IS DOWN
SUMMARY We reinstall the Netbackup after a disaster. recover the catalog. However the MSDP pool is showing down. C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>nbdevquery -listdv -stype PureDisk -dp MSDP-POOL -U Disk Pool Name : MSDP-POOL Disk Type : PureDisk Disk Volume Name : PureDiskVolume Disk Media ID : @aaaam Total Capacity (GB) : 3575.86 Free Space (GB) : 1167.54 Use% : 67 Status : DOWN Flag : ReadOnWrite Flag : AdminUp Flag : InternalDown Flag : ReplicationSource Flag : ReplicationTarget Num Read Mounts : 0 Num Write Mounts : 1 Cur Read Streams : 0 Cur Write Streams : 0 Num Repl Sources : 1 Num Repl Targets : 4 Replication Source : netbackup-me.contoso.com:PureDiskVolume Replication Target : tps-bkp.contoso.com:PureDiskVolume Replication Target : tps-bkp.contoso.com:PureDiskVolume Replication Target : netbackup-me.contoso.com:PureDiskVolume Replication Target : netbackup-dr.contoso.com:PureDiskVolume We then run the below command, which UP the STATUS for few seconds and went again down. C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>nbdevconfig -changestate -stype PureDisk -dp MSDP-POOL -dv PureDiskVolume -state RESET successfully changed the state of disk volume I notice that the path is not there for MSDP pool. Below snap for reference.
Universal Shares Use Cases
Been reading through all the admin guides and came accross Universal Shares. Wondering what the use case is? Prior to 3.2. it seems it was just a NFS/CIFS share with Deduplication enabled against it but no other direct integration witn NetBackup. From 3.2 we have Protection Points: "Starting with appliance release 3.2, the Protection Point feature supports direct integration with NetBackup. A Protection Point is a point in time copy of the data that exists in a Universal Share. Creation and management of a Protection Point is accomplished through a NetBackup policy, which defines all scheduling and retention of the Protection Point. The Protection Point uses the same "Standard" policy type that is used for UNIX/Linux systems. Once a Protection Point for the data in the Universal Share is created, that point in time copy of the Universal Share data can be managed like any other protected data in NetBackup. Protection Point data can be replicated to other NetBackup Domains or migrated to other storage types like tape or cloud, using Storage Lifecycle Policies. Each Protection Point copy is referenced to the name of the associated Universal Share." This seems useful! Is anyone using it and what use cases have you for it? Feedback would be much appreciated!:smileyvery-happy:
Netbackup script to check what all active clients do not have full backup from last 1 month
Hi ALL, I need a Netbackup script to check what all active clients do not have full backup from last 1 month.(active clients only and not for clients which are in the deactivated policy) or a SQL query for OPSCENTER Analytics will also help.Alternate media server while duplicating backups
Hello, I started a duplication job of many backups that are on a DataDomain storage server, the destination is a tape library and I'm using a STU with one media server selected which is the only that have access to the tape drives However, when the job starts, for every single backup image, NetBackup do one ore more attempts to read the image using a media server that is not selected in the storage unit. e.g. Media server in the STU = media15 What I see in the job detail = "Media server: media09 -> media15" A bpimagelist of the backup image, says that media09 is not the server that has been used to do the copy whose duplicate is running master is a Windows 2012 with NBU 8.1.2 media15 is a Windows 2008 with NBU 8.1.2 media09 is a RHEL 6 with NBU 7.7.3 Is this behaviour by design? Thank you db
