About Pure Disk
Hi All, Kindly let me know the following few questions about pure disk. 1)what is pure disk? 2)About pure disk architecture? 3)About pure disk deduplication? 4)About pure disk web user interface? 5)Can i know the role of vssadminlist writers related to system state backup failures in pure disk.Solved3.8KViews3likes2CommentsPureDisk Agent Config File Update is stalled
Hi, I am troubleshooting SPAR replication issue on 6.6.3 PureDisk. On the Destination Storage Pool SPAR jobs start and keep being queued with 0% progress until 24h watchdog kills them. On the Source Storage Pool the SPAR job is killed by watchdog after 4h at 33%. Tried to run update agent configuration (the Source SPA is an Agent on Destination pool) using the "Config File Update" but that job got queued at 0% and is not progressing on the target SPA. I have just re-activated - set all the settings from scratch - the SPAR policy on the Source Storage Pool. The SPAR activation job completed successfully on the Source SPA. Ran SSH session from one to another and the other way. Any ideas where is the connection problem? SSH keys? Strange. Any help or tips welcome!1.1KViews1like2CommentsMSDP encryption (ServerOptions=agent_crypt) (or should it be =encrypt)
Hi Forum, Page 30 of the NetBackup Deduplication Guide v7.5 says that... by default MSDP encryption is disabled by default, but they it is recommended by Symantec. Page 70 says that to enable encryption that we need to add "agent_crypt" to "ServerOptions=" in the ContentRouter.cfg file. But looking at the comments in the file: ; [no]agent_crypt : always disable/enable client-side encryption; ; [no]encrypt : always disable/enable encryption; ...indicates that using "agent_crypt" instructs the client-side deduplication agent to encrypt data. At our site we are not implementing client side deduplication so it woudl seem to me that setting :agent_crypt" won't have any effect. My questions are: 1) Is "agent_crypt" really the option to use if what we are trying to achieve is encryption of the post-dedupe blocks on teh MSDP data storage local to teh MSDP media server? 2) What does the "ServerOptions=encrypt" option do, and how is it different to "agent_crypt" ? 3) If we can determine which option really does enable post-dedupe encryption - then does anyone know what the CPU overhead is ? 4) Are there any particular models of CPU (SPARC or Intel or AMD) that implement the encryption/decryption in their hardware instruction sets - i.e. are there any CPUs that are much better suited for use with MSDP encryption ? Thanks, Dave.Solved1.8KViews1like4CommentsHow to Modify the Puredisk agent Configuration for large backups?
