Netbackup Appliance support for VPC (Virtual Port Channel
Hi, We have new Network infratructure being implemented where the traditional method of stacking switches to allow us to LACP across multiple switches, has been replaced with a new NEXUS 9000 setup which now uses something call VPC (Virtual Port Channelling). I dont know much about this but have been asked by the Technical Architects to confirm that the VPC is supported by the Netbackup appliances? Our appliances are 5230 at version 2.6.0.2 (7.6.0.2) Hopefully someone has come across this before and can help ? Thanks Nick
Symantec 5230 - AIR - Network Traffic
I have a question regarding data flow in the following environment: 3 sites, each a seperate NBU domain with a 5230 appliance and multiple windows servers (2K8R2 & 2K12R2) I use AIR to replicate backups between the sites 1 scenario is as follows: Step 1 Exchange DAG backed up to 5230 in site A Step 2 Backup replicated to 5230 in site B Step 3 Replicated copy imported into 5230 in site B Each of the above steps runs successfully and the backup is available for restore in site A and site B as expected. Here is the question: Whilst step 3 (Import) is taking place on the 5230 in site B I am seeing a lot of network traffic between the 5230 in site B and the exchange server (where the backup originated) in site A !! Surely there should be NO communication between the appliance in site B and 'anything' in order to perform an import of a replicated backup image ? If anything traffic between the appliances, but not back to the originating client ? What am I missing here ? AJ
Netbackup Appliance 2.6.1.1 Mail Issues FIXED
The Mail Issues that everyone is having with netbackup appliance is fixed in 2.6.1.1, but 2.6.1.2 breaks the email fix. Has anyone else experience this Has stated in their release notes SMTP server settings for appliance notifications Starting with NetBackup Appliance 2.6.1.1, all email notifications that get generated by the appliance use the same SMTP settings. These emails include hardware monitoring notifications and NetBackup job notifications. The configuration settings are located under Settings > Notification > Alert Configuration in the NetBackup Appliance Web Console or Main_Menu > Settings > Alerts in the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu. These settings override any previous SMTP setup you may have previously used to send NetBackup job notifications. Note: If you had already configured the appliance SMTP settings before you upgraded to NetBackup Appliance 2.6.1.1, you may need to re-save the configuration in order for NetBackup to use it. In the NetBackup Appliance Web Console, go to Settings > Notification > Alert Configuration and click Save. Or in the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu, go to Main_Menu > Settings > Alerts and resubmit the SMTP and SenderID settings.
Netbackup Appliance Administration
This is a pretty baasci question, I just want to make sure I am doing this right. I am new to Netbackup appliances. I have a Netbackup 5230 appliance that is setup as the master server, and another one that will be at a different site, also server as a separate master server. Is the best way to administer the jobs policiesto use Remote Admin Console on anadmin server/machine?
