Spurious Alerts following Appliance Upgrade to 2.7.2
I have recently upgraded a number of 5230 Appliances to 2.7.2, and whilst all appear to be functioning as expected we are getting numerous alerts relating to disk failures which are 'false'. I am wondering whether there is a BIOS issue here (mismatch) ? Two questions: 1. How can I display the current BIOS level without rebooting the appliance ? 2. Is there a required BIOS update to be applied 'outside' of the regular software/firmware package used for 2.7.2 ? Thanks, AJ.Netbackup appliance Expansion unit not detected
We have just insatalled a 100 TB 5230 appliance and we are facing a severe issue. our appliacne is showing only the base unit storage . no expension unit storage is visisble we have 3 expansion unit our appliance version is 2.7.2 we have powered on shelves first one by one all the lights on SAS cables and front sides are green and disks lights are blue stable when we start the appliance it took 30 mins to boot up and manage>storage>show all sows only base unit disks. we have logge dthe case with symantec and for past 3 days they are only asking to shutdown wait and restart the appliacne in sequence.they have snet the helping hands NCR as well but he laso just did the same. hardware test is not showing any failure. No amber light anywhere.(base unit & expansion unit) we have checked the cacles as wels and both appliacne sas canles are going into IN of first shelf the out of first shelf going to IN of second and so on We are thinking the raid controller is not able to configure the shelf drives as no green light on drives of expansion shelf.Already shared teh data collector several times with the engineer. We are stuck and annoyed so far. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Total diskspace used by policies differs from total used space on appliance
We have an issue where we are running out of disk space on our Netbackup appliance 5230 running version 2.6.1.1, and I'm looking for ways to free up some disk space. I used OpsCenter to run a report for "Policy Summary Dashboard" for the last 2 months (we have 2 months retention on disk backups). When I summarized the size for all the policies I ended up with 82TB used space. However when I check in the diskpool in the Netbackup admin console it shows 113TB used space. If I run df -h on the appliance it shows the output below. I was thinking about the "/msdp/data/dp1/1pdvol"-pool is there anything unnormal about that being present? The size of that pool is pretty much the size-difference between total policy size and used space shown in the Netbackup console. Is there any way to free up that disk space, or is it supposed to be like this?
