Backup Exec 2012 Nirvanix replacement
I have a client that recently spent quite a bit of money in Backup Exec licensing and hardwarewith the intent to do short term data storage to a local Exagrid while offloading long term storage to Symantec's cloud vendor Nirvanix. This licensing was purchased at the beginning of September. We havemigrated backups over to the new hardware with short term backups to Exagrids, however Nirvanix has apparentlysince went out of business. The little i can find on symantec's forums is that Symantec is "looking into other options" however this is going back to early October. Has Symantec found a solution for this going forward? My client just invested well over 100k in software, hardware, and consulting to get this new backup system implemented and us not having an option for them cannot be the answer.
Cannot to connect BackupExec to Data Domain with OST Plug-In
Trying to connect via creation of a disk device. When clicking "Add OpenStorage" device in Backup Exec disk devices (Backup Exec 2010 R3 SP2), I am able to get to the point as follows in the attachment. I can get all fields to work, it sees it as a "Data Domain" in the selection box, but on the LSU, it doesn't populate. Login credentials are definitely right. The OST 2.5 plugin for datadomain is installed on the media server. If I manually type in LSU1, or any free text in the Logical Storage Unit field, it doesn't make any difference. The error that I get when I click OK says: "Cannot connect to the NDMP server, or to the remote computer that is configured as a Remote Media Agent, or to the remote computer that is configured for deduplication" I do not have the DD Boost license enabled, I have one MTree. I was told and confirmed that I do not need the DD Boost option to create an OST device against a straight data domain. I am on 5.0.1 OS on the DD 580.
