Netbackup CDP problem
Hi I have Netbackup 10.5.0.1 on RHEL 8.10 my media server is msdp and cdp gateway with same version of netbackup and os I installed io-filter on esxis, vcenter is 8.0.3 and esxi is 7.0.3 I created vtstap storage policy, but it's incompatible with san datastores (vmfs 5 and 6) and compatible with local datastore I tried with 2 vm, one is stored on local and other in san attached these vm with vtstap storage policy and shows both of them are compliant in storage policy then I created a protection plan for these assets and attached cdp gateway, when finish it, it says for 2 vm: List of trusted Certificate Authorities could not be fetched operation failed for VM id ... of CDP host ...15Views0likes1CommentFlex Appliance Sizing
Hi Guys, I'm new to Netbackup products, even more so to its Appliances. We've received a new Flex 5260 appliance, which we're going to configure. Before starting the configuration, we're consulting the Veritas documentation to better understand how the device works. For a first review, two questions come to mind: Size of the application instances volumes : In our Appliance, we'll create two instances, one Primary and one MediaServer (MSDP); How can we get NBU recommendations regarding volumes sizes ? (Primary Catalog, MSDP, AdvDisk, Staging ... Etc). In the configuration of a new MediaServer instance, we came across the following volumes : MSDP, AdvancedDisk, Staging. And since we are going to use Dedup, then automatically we'll create an MSDP volume. In this case, should we set AdvancedDisk and Staging to 0 GB ? What is the purpose of the "Staging volume" ? Is there any sort of Sizing Tool provided by Veritas for this purpose ? To get the right requirements for each component depending on the environment to be backed up (Number of clients, FET, BET ...etc.) Thanks in advance for any provided guidance.

Hello, we have a NetBackup 10.4 server that we need to upgrade the OS from rhel 7 to rhel 9. Currently the MSDP is on the same disk that the OS will target (/dev/sda) so I need to copy/relocate the backup images during the upgrade. I opened a case with support and they suggested mounting SAN storage. Is this the only option to duplicate the backup data, or can we use DAS/NFS for setting up a new AdvDisk? This particular host has no other drives in it to relocate the data to, so it will need to be off the host during upgrade. Thank you74Views0likes4CommentsAfter Master server rebuild master server not able to create MSDP storage server.

Hi guys, We are about to deploy a Flex Appliance WORM instance, and we have some concerns regarding its usage : Do we still need a MediaServer instance when using the WORM instance? Is the WORM instance considered as WORM storage that still requires a MediaServer instance to write to it, or is it an all-in-one instance (MediaServer + WORM storage)? In summary, when creating the WORM instance, does NBU recognize it as a MediaServer or not? When working with WORM, is deduplication still utilized? Typically, we create MSDP volumes within MediaServer instances. Wondering if WORM uses also Dedup. Does enabling WORM impact the appliance's capacity consumption? Some other vendors claim that enabling WORM can double or even triple capacity usage when using Dedup with WORM, which raises concerns about its practicality in our case, because the capacity of our Flex system is already low, and if that's the case, we'll have to avoid using WORM. Thanks in advance for any feedback given. Regards.Solved274Views0likes6CommentsHow can I duplicate backup images from an msdp server to another one?
Hi I have a problem in my msdp server and I should migrate to new server with new storage, how can I do it when I do it in webui in catalog section or with bpduplicate cli, this error occurs: NetBackup status: 2017, EMM status: Requested media server does not have credentials or is not configured for the storage serverSolved44Views0likes2Commentssetup Malware Scanning
Hi I have some questions: in NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide doc said: For BYO setup, Instant access must be configured on MSDP storage server See the "Configuring Universal share" section in Veritas NetBackup Deduplication Guide 1- what's MSDP BYO? if MSDP server is windows, is it BYO? in Veritas NetBackup Deduplication Guide doc said: MSDP build-your-own (BYO) server prerequisites and hardware requirements to configure universal shares: The universal share feature is supported on an MSDP BYO storage server with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 or later. The universal share feature is not supported on SUSE Linux. 2- if windos is BYO too, then how about Malware Scanning? is it possible or I should deploy Redhat MSDP??? I have a windows MSDP to backup vmware vms with accelerator feature and want to deploy Malware scanning Thanks in advance225Views0likes7CommentsEncryption in netbackup MSDP multi-domain
Hello All, Looking to enable encryption on Netbackup MSDP multi domain. Does this supported by Netbackup? Also can we enable encryption on Media server where storage server is seprated from media server ? As per my understanding we have to enable encryption on both servers664Views0likes1CommentCompactation taking too long?
Hello! We have a 30T MSDP with 70% used, we expire a lot of images recently but the storage wouldn't go down, so the next logical step was to run de compactation via CRCONTROL, but it's taking too long? I started the proccess 2 days ago and it's still compacting, but the storage don't seems to respond to this. What am I doing wrong? the logs seems fine (I think...)
