Does anyone have a walk through on enabling tape drive compression(NOT software compression)? I've been doing some research and it appears commands such as: sdparm - <device>, and sginfo -a displays the following information: Data compression (SSC) mode page: DCE 1 [cha: y, def: 1, sav: 1] DCC 1 [cha: n, def: 1, sav: 1] DDE 1 [cha: n, def: 1, sav: 1] RED 0 [cha: n, def: 0, sav: 0] COMPR_A 255 [cha: n, def:255, sav:255] DCOMPR_A 255 [cha: n, def:255, sav:255] I have 6 Netbackup 5200 and 5220s connected to an IBM3584 with 12 LTO4, 5, and 6 drives via FC. The library and drives are functioning however, I'm not getting no where near the data compression on the LTO6 tapes that I thought I would. I'm only seeing about 3.1TB on a LTO6 tape. Can someone explain the output above and what my settings should be. Thanks.Solved6.8KViews2likes7CommentsEncryption option on Appliance 5230
Hi, I am running with a POC with Appliance 5230 installed as Master/Media with MSDP. I enable Encryption on appliance:Main_Menu> Settings> Deduplication> Tune Encryption Enable. Now, how to I ensure that images on pool are encrypted, and how do I test that itis secured with unautorized restore to distinct server/location. I do see some file created under /disk/databases/catalog/number/client_host_name/policy_name/client-host-name_backup-timestamp_C1_F1.img should I also have a keys stored somewhere?Solved4.3KViews1like11CommentsNetbackup SLP activity monitor

Help! Netbackup Appliances 5230 2.6.0.2. One of our appliances houses ms-standard windows all local drives backups and vmware snapshot backups. Backups run at good speeds however as soon as we start our slps to copy the data from the msdp to tape the backups get extremely slow to barely moving and the copy to tape is slow. As soon as we kill off the slps backup speed goes back up again. We have a case opened and backline engineers have taken a look and we were told that is expected as the rehydration process tapeouts is slowing things down. We turned our max concurrent write drives to 4 and set our slp schedule to daytime to not affect nighttime backups however with these settings we will never get the month-end to tape done. We thought of a couple other options 1. backup to advanced disk then slp to msdp and or tape-issue here is we would need to buy more trays but even more important I think we would lose some features in Netbackup. last I checked netbackup accelerator doesnt work to advanced disk(I need to double-check) 2. inline tape copies-during month-end use inline tape copies to backup to msdp and tape, issue is speed will be run as the slowest backup between the two but that might be okay if the speed is good. Does anyone have any suggestions on this and been through this? Thanks.Solved2.8KViews0likes13CommentsStatus 2060019 and status 87 Killing same job
Got following errors in our details on a solaris backup. Im on an appliance, 5220. We are running 7.6.1.1. Link to 2060019 in error message is a cyclical redirect. I saw in other posts that this was a problem in the pre 7.5.0.4 world, but was supposed to be fixed in 7.5.0.5. Which is not our experience. Is there are work around for this? Anyone else seen it in the post 7.6.1.1 version? ​05/10/2015 00:56:17 - Critical bptm (pid=4960) Storage Server Error: (Storage server: PureDisk:servername) mtstrm_close_write_channel: Fatal error occured in Multi-Threaded Agent: Close Write Channel command failed: Cr_ErrnoException: Timed out after waiting 180s for the read threads to complete (cnt=1) V-454-96 05/10/2015 00:56:17 - Critical bptm (pid=4960) sts_close_handle failed: 2060019 error occurred on network socket 05/10/2015 00:56:17 - Critical bptm (pid=4960) sts_close_handle failed: 2060019 error occurred on network socket 05/10/2015 00:56:17 - Error bptm (pid=4960) cannot write image to disk, media close failed with status 2060019 05/10/2015 00:56:17 - Info bptm (pid=4960) EXITING with status 87 <---------- Thanks in advance.2.8KViews0likes4CommentsAIR Import JOB NOT STARTED
