Media host override for SAP restores on Data Domain storage server
Hi, We are required to run a very large restore (~12TB) of a SAP database. The backup image is stored on a Data Doamin storage server. We would like to force the restore to use a specific media server that is not the server used for the oirignal backup. The storage server has 6 DD Boost enabled media servers accessing it for both backups and duplications between data centers. Each time we initiate the restore a different media server is used. We have used the "media host override" settings but these do not seem to be honored for OST storgae servers according to this artilce - http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/how-use-media-host-override Has anyone else experinced this problem?
Updated NetBackup Backup Planning and Performance Tuning Guide for Release 7.5 and Release 7.6
The NetBackup Backup Planning and Performance Tuning Guide, Release 7.5 and Release 7.6 is now available: http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC7449 This guide is for administrators who want to analyze, evaluate, and tune NetBackup performance. This manual is intended to provide guidance on questions such as the following: How big should the NetBackup master server be? How can the server be tuned for maximum performance? How many CPUs and disk or tape drives are needed? How to configure backups to run as fast as possible? How to improve recovery times? What tools can characterize or measure how NetBackup handles data?vStorage API backups fail with status code 13
vStorage API backup, nbd transfer mode, is failing with error code 13 for the most of the VMs. I get only few successful backups - all on same ESX host. backup speed only max to 1MB/sec so I guess it must be caused by the slowness on the network, and I'm trying to get it fixed on network side. while I'm doing that, I wonder if there are any tunables / settings that I can adjust in NetBackup, so that vStorage API backup waits long enough for the retransmit of data from the datastore, rather than simply throwing out status 13? 7.1.0.3 on Win2kR2x64, media server is the backup host.
