Editing Host file on Netbackup 5520 appliance
I could do with some help on what options are available to add entries to the host file on the 5520 appliance. I am familiar with using the CLISH and navigating to >>Network from the main menuand the using the following command: hosts add 10.0.0.1 nbutest.nbappliance.lab nbutest host show - will provide an output of information in the file. Is there anyway to access the the host file by going through Support>>Maintenance(Enter Password)>>Elevate I believe you can drop in to the normal Linux directory structure and navigate to \usr\openv\netbackup... But where is the host file located and what is is called since most Linux articles seem to refer to \etc\hosts I have tried to use vi and view the hosts & hosts.conf files located in the \usr\openv\netbackup\bin directories, but they do not seem to list the same info as what I see when running hosts show through CLISH. Any assistance would be appreciated with the above. Thanks In Advance9.1KViews0likes3Comments
NFS mount point on NetBackup 5230 Appliance
Hi Team, Please I need your expert advise on this solution: Customer has proposed implementing backup solution via NFS; this solution is based on having the centralized server IPs & file path where to send the backups to. We currently have Symantec NetBackup 5230 Appliance installed in this customer datacenter. Question: Will NetBackup 5230 Appliance support mount points from network file systems (NFS). This will enable customer backup their network file system data to the central storage location, which is on the NBU appliance. Thanks in advance, FelixSolved6.5KViews1like11Comments
5230 Appliance - BIOS Warning
I have just installed a new 5230 appliance which shipped with 2603 installed. After initial configuration I upgraded the appliance to 261 which completed successfully in approximately 1 hour (MSDP pool only contained a couple of test backups). During the boot following upgrade I noticed a message as follows: "The installed version of the BIOS firmware is not correct. Contact your administrator to update the BIOS firmware" I was under the impression that the upgrade rpm packages updated all required firmware, O/S and NBU code ? I cannot locate any details regarding BIOS upgrades for the 5230 appliance. I don't know if this is specific to 261 (first 261 Iinstall I have completed) - has anyone come accross this ? Thanks, AJSolved4.9KViews1like6Comments
Netbackup Appliance vs DataDomain
Hi We are in a process to make changes to our current backup environment. Our main focus is to do some changes in our 2 main sites. Both sites have their respective domains with multiple mediaservers (no appliance or DD). What we are trying to achieve is as follows: Try to merge both domains, so both are member of the same domain acting as a cluster with 1 node at each site. Purchase storage or appliance to achieve the following: With 1 storage\appliance at each site, have optimized duplication enabled so we have 2 copies of the backup, one at each site(storage\appliance) at all time. This to gradually go away fromweekly tape vault and go overto a disk based solution. I have done som research already, and this forum thread is to verify the information in handand to add even more information is possible. Could someone give me answers to the following questions: First and foremost, to achieve the above mentioned goals, Do you guys suggest DataDomain or Netbackup Appliance? And then why? Is optimized duplication only a feature available in storages like Netbackup appliances\DD or is it something you can achieve with two MSDP pools at each site? Netbackup recommends that we segment the data on a dedupe pool for best performance, how are we suppose to achieve that when we only can create 1 pool out of 1 Netbackup appliance? In DD you can create mutiple pools, and have a Global deduplication enabled. How can we achieve that with Netbackup appliance?Solved4.5KViews0likes17CommentsNetbackup SLP activity monitor
Hello, is there a way to check the status of an SLP that is in progress? i would like to know stuff like %completion time, GB transferred, current kb/s. are there some best practices/tuning tips to improve performance of optimize deduplication between remote 5230 appliance and datacenter appliance (5230) over slow WAN links? is there a way to calculate possible throughput? thank you, florinSolved4KViews0likes6CommentsMigrating Images between Netbackup Domains
I have a requirement whereby we are replacing 4 x 50x0 Puredisk Appliances with 4 x 5220 Appliances. The current config has all devices in the same Netbackup domain, even though 2 of the 50x0 appliances are in a remote location. Each pair of 50x0 appliances is presented as a single pool within Netbackup. We are implementing the new 5220 appliances in an AIR configuration - therefore there will be two distinct NBU domains (one production and one DR). The current master server will remain in the production site, with one of the 5220 appliances in DR acting as the Master server in the other NBU domain. My issue is in migrating the data from the current 50x0 appliances to the new 5220 appliances. In the production site the images can simply be duplicated from the 50x0's to the 5220's, as they are all in the same NBU domain. But when considering migrating the images from the remote 50x0's (which are part of the original production NBU domain) to the new 5220's in the new NBU domain - what are the best options here ? The environment does not include any tape devices. AJSolved3.9KViews1like11CommentsHOW TO - configure a SAN based Tape Drive and Libr on a 5220 Appliance
Hello Techies, Could someone please provide a step by step guide on how to configure a SAN based Tape Drive and Libr on a 5220 Appliance configured as a Media Server to a traditional Master Server. NBU v7.5 5220 -v2.5 I understand that zoning of tape drive and libr is required but how to go about selecting the HBA port and locating a WWPN from the appliance to zone and the following steps. thank you to those who reply. -ESMSolved3.9KViews2likes3Comments
