OST Hardware
Hello, I wanted to get some moreinformationregarding OST. Here is the hardware layout we have planned. Server1 - CAS only to manage from Server2 - Media Server1 Server3 - Media Server2 My question.. Q:Do we need to purchase OST storage devices if we want to copy deduplicated data from Media Server1 toMedia Server2over the network? If not is their an advantage? Thanks, Dominic
Queued backups to OST devices.
I have recently upgraded Backup Exec from 2010 to 2014 and use two ExaGrid devices for deduplication and replication. I currently have 5 OST devices on the local Exagrid device for local backup sets and 5 OST devices on the remote ExaGrid device for replication. After the upgrade only one active job will run to an OST device no matter how many concurrent connections I have set for the devices. The rest of the jobs list a status of "Active:Queued". Even the duplicate jobs that track the repliction between ExaGrid devices will stop any other backup job from running forcing the backups way outside of the backup window. Has anyone else incountered this or have suggestions on how to correct this job queuingissue?BMR on Solaris Multipathing
“Until now, BMR supported EMC Powerpath solution. But the demand for native multipath is increasing, which is a platform-independent technique. To cater to this demand, support for native multipath is added in BMR 7.5 for the Linux platform.” BMR supports only EMC Powerpath solution. BMR does not Support for Native multipathing on Solaris. Question is: When will SYMANTEC Netbackup start support for Solaris Multipathing? A big deploymment was done, and the backup solution was the Netbackup 7.5 but now we came at the point that BMR does not support Solaris Multipathing. in such situation, Customer is surviving and big question mark on BMR Solaris Multipathing.
