Upgrading Multiple 5220 Appliances
I have the following upgrade scenario with NBU and 5220 appliances, and am wondering how much of this I can perform concurrently. Windows 2008R2 Master Server - recently upgraded to NBU 7611 - all OK 5220 Media Server 1 (72TB) - 2.5.3 5220 Media Server 2 (36TB) - 2.5.3 I am moving the appliances to 2611 and am wondering do I have to stop all activity on Master and both appliances and upgrade them consecutively or can I stop all activity and upgrade the two appliances at the same time ? They are both Media ONLY, and the Master is already at 7611 so there should be no version issues. Thanks, AJ.Solved1.9KViews1like8CommentsNetbackup appliance 5230 & Fibre Channel Autonegotiation
HI, I have deployed a 5230 appliance with 2.6.1.2 release. During the configuration of FibreTransport media server, I had several issues with the link between SAN Switch (Brocade 16Gb FABOS 7.3.0c ) and the target ports on the appliance (port 1 on slots 5 & 6). Looking at the porterrorshow on my switchs I saw a lot of loss of sync on the Switchs ports. I have solved theses issues by setting the speed to 8 Gbs on the switch. Does anybody experiment the same issue with Appliance (for my part, it was the very first time after many deployement) ? regardsSolved2.5KViews0likes3CommentsNetBackup Appliance 5230 as Master Server
Hello there!! Does anybody know if I can upgrade a NetBackup Appliance 5230 configured as master server from 2.6.1 to 2.7.1? Or if I can have a NetBackup Appliance 5230 configured as master server with version 2.7.1? I try to find the information in SORT, but I don't realle understand if a 5230 master server can have 2.7.1 or not: "NetBackup 5200 Series Appliances running 2.x or later can be used as back-level media servers in a NetBackup 7.7.x configuration. NetBackup Appliance and NetBackup versions will resynchronize in future releases." And one more question, does anybody know how can I determine if I need to use a 4 Tb or a 14 Tb master server? Thanks!!Solved2.4KViews1like3CommentsNetbackup Appliance Upgrade 2.7.x
Guys, Thank you for considering this. We are soon going to upgrade our NBU Appliance 5230 to version 2.7.3 (From 2.7.1). Master is already upgraded to 7.7.3 Ques: What are the precautionary steps i need to complete first before NBU Appliance upgrade to 2.7.3 (ln case, if I need to do ROLLBACK, then i have everything available) . Ofcourse, we do not have option to secure our backup images on Appliance (can not duplicate to other devices). Starting from 2.7.x, we do see Appliance_catalogue_Policy autimatically gets created on Master, please, how would this help? Any highlevel steps to complete the upgrade from experienced team would help our DC team. Rg Diego1.1KViews0likes3CommentsRouting on Appliance 5230
Hi We are trying to add a route to our existing appliance 5230, running at 2.6.0.3. This is configured in media server role. Currently this server is getting used for backup of only one client which contains Netezza DB. Now we want to use this appliance also for backup of few more clients and those clients are not reachable from this appliance. I checked there are no routes for those clients on this appliance. following is current routing table: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 10.100.249.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 bond1 10.100.14.0 10.100.14.254 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 bond0 192.168.229.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 10.100.7.0 10.100.14.30 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 bond0 10.100.117.0 10.100.14.30 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 bond0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo bond0 has IP - 10.100.14.30 bond1 has IP - 10.100.249.5 eth0 has default IP. I am able to ping gateway 10.100.14.254 from the destination clients. Now when i try to add static route from WEB GUI, it refelcts error "Default gateway is in use". when I try to add route from CLISH, i recieve following error message.

Hi there, I've got a netbackup appliance 5230 software version 2.6.1.1. I wanted to migrate it to 2.6.1.2 but I realized there is a "clean up work in post-upgrade" since I updated it time ago and I can't download the new version. I tried to cancel it using putty from Manage>Software but I'm not able to find out how to do that. How can I stop it? Is there any risk? Thanks in advance for your help.Solved2KViews0likes8Comments
