Upgrading Multiple 5220 Appliances
I have the following upgrade scenario with NBU and 5220 appliances, and am wondering how much of this I can perform concurrently. Windows 2008R2 Master Server - recently upgraded to NBU 7611 - all OK 5220 Media Server 1 (72TB) - 2.5.3 5220 Media Server 2 (36TB) - 2.5.3 I am moving the appliances to 2611 and am wondering do I have to stop all activity on Master and both appliances and upgrade them consecutively or can I stop all activity and upgrade the two appliances at the same time ? They are both Media ONLY, and the Master is already at 7611 so there should be no version issues. Thanks, AJ.Solved1.9KViews1like8CommentsIs there a way to monitor the health of the 5230 appliance?
inNetBackup 52xx and 5330 Appliance SNMP Trap Reference Guide - 2.7.1 Appendix A "Note: Although the MIB file includes software traps, they are not used. NetBackup Appliance does not currently send any software traps." Since the 52xx appliances do not send SNMP traps (although the MIBS are defined) is there a way to monitor the appliance health like CPU/Memory load, disk space etc.? Is it possible to install e.g. CA NIMSOFT agent on the appliance? Can I schedule a crontab job to send health information?1.9KViews1like2CommentsExchange backup takes too much time

Hi guys, My enviroment has 6 5230 appliance, appliance 1 and appliance 2 are working for backups, appliance 3 and appliance 4 are woriking for replications only, and appliance 5 and appliance 6 are replications targets. I create a SLP like this, 1. Backup (to appliance1 and appliance 2) 2. Duplication(to appliance 3 and appliance 4) 3. Replication (to appliance 5 and appliance 6). My issue is that I need to replicate from appliance 3 and 4 not from 1 or 2 and according to netbackup I can oonly replciate from source copy.

I´m running out space in my "advanced disk" but in my MSDP I have plenty of space. So I need to know if there is way to "take" some space from MSDP in order to add some TBs to advanced disk? If so, this process involves lose data from MSDP? For full, differential and transaction logs backups which type of disk is better?? MSDP or Advanced Disk? Just FYI Im talking about Netbackup 5230 appliance (2.6.1.1) Any Ideas... Thank you guys!Solved741Views0likes1CommentHow to migrate backups between MSDP's
