Spurious Alerts following Appliance Upgrade to 2.7.2
I have recently upgraded a number of 5230 Appliances to 2.7.2, and whilst all appear to be functioning as expected we are getting numerous alerts relating to disk failures which are 'false'. I am wondering whether there is a BIOS issue here (mismatch) ? Two questions: 1. How can I display the current BIOS level without rebooting the appliance ? 2. Is there a required BIOS update to be applied 'outside' of the regular software/firmware package used for 2.7.2 ? Thanks, AJ.
NBU Appliances with NBU 7.7 clients
Quick question to all What do you reckon, is backing up NBU 7.7 clients with current up to date NBUappliances 7.6.1.2 (IIRC) supported? I thought there was a leeway with support when client could be higher version than the media server although it was only for the fourth digit patch (kind of 2.6.0.1 appliance could back up 7.6.0.4 client no worries). How it works now? Am I becoming lazy or just not able to find if it is actually stated somewhere? I could be in an awkward position if there is no appliance code that can support 7.7 clients now as I would need to suggest to use DD instead. Any link with official statement would help.
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
