Hello All, We need to reconfigure IPMI/prod IP of our already configured 5340 appliance. the device was powered off earlier due to migration within DC and now they have asked to configure new IPs . how can we change the IPMI IP now so that we cna recreate the bond0 for prod use with new IP399Views0likes2CommentsNetBackup 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?768Views0likes1Commentsysadmin 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.Solved1.6KViews0likes2Comments(CEP-17703) - All Flash Storage

Good morning to everybody! I have a need and I would like to know if it is possible to solve it. I have a backup stored on physical tapes, which is very important to the business. For auditing purposes, it is often required to restore the backups that are on those tapes. But due to business protocols, it is not possible to leave the tapes inside the library forever. Worflow is: - Restoration is requested - Tapes are ordered from the supplier - Tapes are placed in the library - Data is restored - Tapes are removed and delivered to the supplier. So, I would like to know if it is possible to "clone" or copy the tape to another physical tape, in this way we can store the "original" tapes in the provider, and we would leave the "cloned" ones in the library for the purposes of frequent restorations. Is it possible to do this? Or, failing that, is it possible to duplicate the images (stored in a tape) onto another tape? If possible, I would be grateful if you can guide me. In short, we are asked to have a 2nd copy of the images that are hosted on tapes, on other tapes. My environment is: NetBackup Appliance, NetBackup 8.1.2Solved1.2KViews0likes2CommentsI need recommendations to update Appliance OS
Hello everybody! I need recommendations or advice that can guide me in this update task. Wehave 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.Solved950Views0likes1CommentvCenter 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.833Views0likes1CommentFLEX 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!2.3KViews0likes3Comments
