We have had an ongoing issue for about 2 months now, and since we have had a clean build (3 times now) for Backup Exec 2012. We have opened numerous cases with Symantec to resolve this, and they claim the first time that HotFix 209149 (see http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH204116 ) corrects the issue. The issue is also noted by seeing Robotic Element errors stating that OST media is full and it brings the "virtual" slot for the PureDisk or OST storage device offline. Restarting the services in BE only makes the problem worse and causes a snowball effect whereby jobs constantly error in the ADAMM log files. Essentially, the jobs never can get a concurrency/virtual slot and they stay Queued forever. I have seen others on this Forum with this problem, and while the Forum administrator seems to mark them as "Solved", they are not - because I see the threads drop off with no resolution identified. Are other people having this problem? If so, how are you overcoming it? Once it starts the environment is essentially dead in the water because the jobs never start (they sit Queued forever) - save for one concurrency which for our size environment is only 1/4 the need we have. We use CAS and 4 MMS servers with 2008 R2 with all patches applied, PureDisk 32TB volume on each MMS, Data Domain OST connection to DD-670 OST with OST-Plug 2.62 (28TB), replicated catalogs, and duplicate jobs for optimized deduplication between MMSs. We run BE 2012 SP3 clean - we reinstalled with SP3 slipstreamed because Symantec said this problem could be fixed through database repair by them manually or by reinstall...we chose reinstall (even though they did offer to "fix" the issue with database repair). We chose reinstall to validate whether SP3 truly fixes the issue. It is clear to us it does not. We are looking for anyone else who has had this problem to report into this forum.

Media server: WS2008 R2 SP1/BE2012 V-ray SP4 Remote servers: 1 physical WS2012, 2 virtual WS2012, RAWS installed and patched. Backing up at guest level to a dedupe device. Backups of the physical and one of the virtual machines complete successfully. The other virtual machine completes with this exception: Client-side deduplication is enabled for this job, but it could not be used. Please check this link for additional information: http://entsupport.symantec.com/umi/V-79-18273 The problem server has never worked with dedupe. I have followed the steps in http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH77683. Or, at least, the subset of them that apply to BE2012.No change. Restarted BE services on media server and problem server. No change. Disabled both firewalls; no change. Here is an excerpt from ADAMM.LOG that shows the 3 servers during the most recent BE media server services startup.

Hi Current environment: Main DC: Master: RHEL 6.7. NBU version 7.7.2 Mediaserver: RHEL 7.2 NBU version 7.7.2 RemoteDC: Master: RHEL 6.7. NBU version 7.7.2 Mediaserver: RHEL 7.2. NBU version 7.7.2 Both media servers are taking backups in their respective DC`s, and then they replicate the data through AIR to eachother. To achieve this i have created an SLP, which look likes this: One used in Main DC: Backup -> MSDP(Main DC) Replication -> MSDP (Remote DC) One used in Remote DC: Backup -> MSDP(Remote) Replication -> MSDP (Main DC) I have a taperobot connected to the Netbackup environment in Main DC. So what i am trying to achieve now is to create another duplication to tape, once a month for long term retention. So this duplication is going to run only once a month, and will have a different retention, for data from both mediaservers. Here are some questions i have: How can i achieve this? My understanding is that i need to create another schedule and SLP, but just dont understand how? How will i be able to track the media used for this duplication, what about the eject report? And to make the situation even worse, i also have a Forced rescan schedule setup to run every 6 months. If i end up creating new schedule for monthly backups, wonder what will happen if full, forced rescan and monthly all kicks at the same time. My understanding is that is uses the one with longest frequency which in this case would be forced rescan (6months). Would appreciate some help here, thanks.1.7KViews0likes4CommentsSynthetic backup failing with error 87.

Hi Guys, I'm having problem to make my SLP to run via SAN and hope you guys can help me or give me some ideas on this. Here's my environment details. All Netbackup running on version 7.7.2 1 master server - Linux Redhat 41 clients - Linux Redhat There is no dedicated media server On Master Server: We have 2 HBAs. One is 16GB (Qlogic QLE2660), which is not supported by Veritas (yet) based on hardware compatibility matrix. So we added a temporary HBA (Qlogic QLE2460) with 4GB speed. Driver successfully installed on QLE2460. We successfully configured FT backup for SAN clients based on below zoning setup. SAN Client Zone Member Client -initiator Master Server - target (4GB HBA) SAN storage - initiator/target The backup setup for all SAN client is to back them up to disk (which is on master server). And then it will be duplicated to tape via SLP. The issue is currently all the SLP is running via LAN and not FT. I wonder why since both the disk and tapelibrary are connected to master server. And to think that tape drive is on FC but data transfer to LAN is just doesn't make sense to me. So wezone the 16GB HBA (initiator) together with the 4GB HBA (target), setting the master server to be a SAN client as well (bpclntcmd -sanclient 1),thinking that perhaps we can make the data transfer from the 16GB card to 4GB card. The transport type when we backing up master server by itself now changed to FT. But it failed withFT Pipe could not be opened (83). Can we do a zoning for master server as below? Master Server Zone Member Master Server - initiator (16GB HBA) Master Server - target (4GB HBA) Tape library - target Basically we have 2 problems now. Based on what I explained above. Is it possible SLP to run on FT? Or do we need to have dedicated FT media server? Error 83 - Is it because both HBA belongs to the master server?

I currently have backup exec 2012 media server installed .It was backing up to a data domain device using OST plugin. I am using the 60day trial licenses(10 day Remaining ) However recently the deduplication option disappeared.As such no backups can be done to the data domain. On checking the windows services the following services were not runinng Backup Exec Deduplication Engine Backup Exec Deduplication Manager Backup Exec postgresql 8. I tried to start the services but got error 1053 postresql . I tried to start the the backup exec services (everything) but on restarting the services the deduplication services and the postgresql appear disabled and cannot be started.This is the case even on rebooting the server. "Windows could not start teh postgresql-8.3 service on "my server" Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."625Views0likes3Comments
