Duplication jobs are stuck at "Waiting for positioning of media id"
We have an NetBackup 7.5.0.6 environment running on an RHEL5 Master Server and two RHEL5 Media Servers. Each server has access to all 16 LTO4 tape drives connected via two different libraries. On a regular basis I can encounter duplication jobs which seem to be stuck. All resources have been granted and a proper tape has been mounted. The file list contains the first image which should be duplicated in this batch and NetBackup claims that it's waiting for positioning the media. This can take take hours until finally the duplication process starts and then proceeds at expected speed (350 GiB/h) with multiple images in the batch. I know that positioning is not an issue as the same media and drives are used for B2T jobs which never show such behavior. Did anybody encounter something like this? Any hint where to look and what to check? Thanks Markus
status code 37: advanced disk backup failed,Operation requested by an invalid server
Hi , I installed a media server to backup oracle database. Nbu version is 7.5.0.6. OS is AIX 6.1. I have tested tapebased backup, successed. When I trying to use advanced disk based backup, status code 37 occured:Operation requested by an invalid server. bp.conf file is correct. It seems that media server is configured correct, but something wrong with storage server or disk pool. But I didn't get any error when I create storage server, disk pool and STU. PLZ help me solve this problem. THX! Ian
Exchange Restore - networking problem
All, Does anyone know how to get round this problem; I am trying to get Exchange granular restore working, but have come up against a networking problem. I have a Unix media server that is connected to two networks, operation and management (ops, man) : Media01.man.net.com Media01.ops.net.com The Media server’s main I/P puts it in the man network. My Exchange server is in the ops network. Exchange01.ops.net.com Now my problem is that when I create disk storage server and associated, storage pool it always has the owner Media01.man.net.com and when I try to do a granular restore, netback tries to get the exchange server to do a NFS connection to Media01.man.net.com (blocked by a fire wall), instead of Media01.ops.net.com . I have tried setting up a media server alias and creating the disk storage server using the “ops” name, but it just reverts to the “man” name. I could add a hosts entry to override the DNS, but I don’t really want to go down that route. David
