I could do with some help on what options are available to add entries to the host file on the 5520 appliance. I am familiar with using the CLISH and navigating to >>Network from the main menuand the using the following command: hosts add 10.0.0.1 nbutest.nbappliance.lab nbutest host show - will provide an output of information in the file. Is there anyway to access the the host file by going through Support>>Maintenance(Enter Password)>>Elevate I believe you can drop in to the normal Linux directory structure and navigate to \usr\openv\netbackup... But where is the host file located and what is is called since most Linux articles seem to refer to \etc\hosts I have tried to use vi and view the hosts & hosts.conf files located in the \usr\openv\netbackup\bin directories, but they do not seem to list the same info as what I see when running hosts show through CLISH. Any assistance would be appreciated with the above. Thanks In Advance9.2KViews0likes3CommentsNetbackup Appliance vs DataDomain
Hi We are in a process to make changes to our current backup environment. Our main focus is to do some changes in our 2 main sites. Both sites have their respective domains with multiple mediaservers (no appliance or DD). What we are trying to achieve is as follows: Try to merge both domains, so both are member of the same domain acting as a cluster with 1 node at each site. Purchase storage or appliance to achieve the following: With 1 storage\appliance at each site, have optimized duplication enabled so we have 2 copies of the backup, one at each site(storage\appliance) at all time. This to gradually go away fromweekly tape vault and go overto a disk based solution. I have done som research already, and this forum thread is to verify the information in handand to add even more information is possible. Could someone give me answers to the following questions: First and foremost, to achieve the above mentioned goals, Do you guys suggest DataDomain or Netbackup Appliance? And then why? Is optimized duplication only a feature available in storages like Netbackup appliances\DD or is it something you can achieve with two MSDP pools at each site? Netbackup recommends that we segment the data on a dedupe pool for best performance, how are we suppose to achieve that when we only can create 1 pool out of 1 Netbackup appliance? In DD you can create mutiple pools, and have a Global deduplication enabled. How can we achieve that with Netbackup appliance?Solved4.5KViews0likes17Commentsnetbackup appliance connection with tape library

How to get the nbdeployutil report
I am currently trying to get an up to date report on the capacity usage, I may have to initiate a purchase of additional licenses. I figured out that I can use the nbdeployutil tool to generate the report. I have created an NetBackup CLI user and generated the report, placed in what I assume is a home folder of sorts. This is in/home/nbusersreport-capacity-20141201_120045.xls However, the file permissions for the report has root as owner, and I don't have permissions to copy around this file. I have read numerous threads about security restrictions, possible implications with regards to warranty and recommended best practicies. My simple question is; what is the best practice way to generate and access this report in an appliance environment?Solved3KViews0likes6CommentsNetBackup Appliance 5220, root path is used 100%
