Proper Cold Reboot of Appliance with 3 StorageShelves
Hello Everyone, I would like to ask for guidance on the proper way to perform a cold reboot of the appliance with three connected shelf storages. I want to ensure that there will be no data loss when performing the cold reboot. My appliance model is 5240. Thank you for your assistance.Solved29Views0likes2CommentsNetBackup Copilot for Oracle - its performance
Hello I am wondering what are the speeds you are achieving with Copilot for Oracle on NBU appliances - I am specifically taking about Backup from Snapshot step (its copying the data from share to msdp on the same appliance) - in configuration with NetBackup Copilot with Oracle Accelerator (Oracle's Incremental Merge). In environment I do manage we do have 3 such backups configured. Each is using its own NBU appliance, two streams, NBU appliances are 5250's and I do see such speeds for this Backup From Snapshot step: 700 MB/s 396 MB/s 308 MB/s So out of these three appliances only one is performing well and its a benchmark for the other two which are not even close to first one. I am wondering what values you are seeing in your environment. Please share if you can. Also I am wondering how NBU 5350 could have improved above backup approach - as 5250 can only have standard share - while the 5350 optimized share. What is the benefit of the optimized share?834Views0likes1Commentsysadmin user
We are trying to upgrade our netbackup appliance from 3.1.2 to 4.1 and I have ran the Readiness Analyzer to make sure we are ready. One of the steps it is requiring is to change the default password on some of the accounts. One account it is requesting to change is the 'sysadmin' account. I see no account in the appliance for this, could this be the IPMI port? and if so, is there a way to change the password for it thru the CLISH? This is at a remote site for us.Solved1.8KViews0likes2CommentsI need recommendations to update Appliance OS
Hello everybody! I need recommendations or advice that can guide me in this update task. We have an environment of 2 appliances (5230 and 5240) and both are in version OS 3.1 (and NetBackup 8.1), a large number of servers are backed up and we have various types of integrations. The NBU 5240 is the productive backup server where the data is backed up to MSDP disk, then it is replicated through AIR to the NBU 5230, where the SLPs take care that the data is duplicated to tape. Anyway I will generate a case to Veritas Support, so the reason for this query is, what is the best way to escalate this to Veritas Support? I think I would have to generate two different cases for each appliance. We would like to be able to update to a more recent version, in this way update the NetBackup systems to 8.2 or 8.3+. In your experience, what would be the best way to do it? We have some servers with NBU client 7.x in backup, should I take the necessary precautions and update the backup agents? Very grateful to be able to count on your feedback.Solved967Views0likes1CommentvCenter 7.0 and NetBackup 8.1(Appliance version 3.1) incompatibility Issue. Backup Fails!
Hello, First of all, I'm not familiar with NetBackup. I just noticed that all VMware VM backups fail after I upgraded vCenter from 6.7 to 7.0. NetBackup 8.1 console> Media and Device Management> Credentials> Virtual Machine Server, the login to new vCenter fails, which I think why all VM backup fails. NetBackup Core Support confirmed that this is incompatiblity issue and I have to upgrade my Appliance and the other media server and Netbackup to upper version. Can anyone layout the steps and links how I can perform this upgrade? I searched knowledge bases but Appliance white papers talk about only appliance, Netbackup talks about only netbackup upgreade. Much Appreciated in advance.852Views0likes1CommentFLEX Appliance - Changing the SSH/WebConsole IP Address
Hi all, Had to start playing around with these little Nbu Docker/Container mutants, with their all new CLISH-ish shell. Managed to get the Web Console, a tenant and a Master Server instance running no problem. We're now trying to change the port-host0 management IP (basically the SSH/WebConsole IP) but found that the Web Console does not allow you to change it (you can only change tenant network, bonds, IPs in the Web Console). Basically port-host0 is missing in the Web Console, and the FLEX shell is missing build-in commands to change this IP also. FYI, you get to configure this IP when you first initialize the FLEX Appliance by running "setup configure-network". But after that there doesn't seem to be an easy way to change this IP. Please let me know I'm just overlooking a page or two in the guides. I'm starting to think the only way to do this is to sudo root powers and just use native linux commands, but I'd rather there is a "FLEX-supported" way. Thanks!2.6KViews0likes3CommentsNetBackup Appliance Software versus NetBackup Application Software
Hi, all. Studying on a Saturday and could use a little clarification ... Is there a page that explains the differences between the NBU Applicance software and the NBU Application software? I thought upgrading my 5230 appliance from 2.7.3 to 3.2 would include the 8.2 application version, but was told the two are separate and that upgradind to 3.2 is not a requirement of upgrading the application from 7.7.3 to 8.2.

Planning the upgrade of our two 5230 appliances and ran across article 100046096 on firmware and BIOS updates. How can I determine the type of disk in my appliances to know whether or not the update applies to us? Thank you, Jason1.5KViews0likes5Comments
