Data centre migration - NetBackup BMR for Solaris clients
Need some advise on migration strategy to migrate Solaris based physical clients from one DC to another. The target DC is a different NetBackup domain. The client data is hosted on EMC and NetApp storage. There is no network connectivity between source and target data centres. The cutover options are likely to be limited to the physical transfer and restore of data using tape media. The target DC server hardware and firmware will be "near" identical to the source environment. I am planning to use NetBackup BMR (currently NBU is being used in source DC for client backup with NO BMR). I understand that a BMR master server and Boot Server (seperate boot server) needs to be introduced. The SRT process The target DC will have NBU Master/Media servers and a compatible storage library. Image import (2 phase import) from tape media will be required I need to use network boot option as transfer of boot media (CD/DVD) will not be allowed Can I transfer the network boot image on tape to the target DC and restore on target client? Do I need BMR master and boot server in target DC? What else do I need in the source and target DCs?Solved2.7KViews0likes21CommentsNetBackup SSO - issues writing to tape library across the domain
I am having some issues in writing to a shared (SSO) library from across the AD domain. We have capacity based licensing model using NetBackup version 7.1.0.4 There are 2 x AD domains A.local & B.com: There is a firewall between the two AD domains. However, upon request all the ports for AD and NBU across the firewall have been allowed. The name resolution has been tested. The A.local domain has 1 x NBU Master and 2 x Media servers (on seperate physical boxes) running on Windows 2008 R2. The shared tape library (4 drives) is zoned to one of the Media server in A.local domain. The 4 drives are also shared for NDMP backups. Issue: Now, a new Media server on Windows 2008 R2 in B.com domain has been introduced connected to the NetBackup Master server in A.local. The new Media server is able to communicate with the Master server and completing successful backups (of some B.com domain clients, some failing with handshaking issues) to the storage disk pool attached to this Media server. I managed to add the library and all 4 x drives through the storage configuration wizard and it allows me to create storage pool. When I try to duplicate the backups from B.com Media server using the tape library connected to A.local Media server, the duplicate job hungs with error "the drives are down". When I look at the device status, the drive showing the new media server name against it shows AVR mode. On the new media server i ran "vmoprcmd -d -h", the output is as follows; PENDING REQUESTS <NONE> DRIVE STATUS Drv Type Control User Label RecMID ExtMID Ready Wr.Enbl.

Monitoring machines
Good morning, It would not be important in similar forensic software security solution to point some strange movement in net for manual configuration? Would not it be nice to send this log to the administrator so that it has real science of what happens on their machines? The fact that even happens that the only security solution for password and disable it is discovered any protection software with password folder can hold a virus where this solution can not be detected due to have a password contained Performing a test in a given security software that will not mention the name says it the same as the high power of detection can not detect which way the folder with password there is a virus code that I created is not the same as new I sent them to the database and still is not detected because the folder containing password. In this case the solution would be important to periodically report to the administrator the steps that are being taken on all machines on your network because each machine would have this solution that would monitor every activity detecting managing such facilities that protect files with password and security does not detect your code simplest is that despite being in the database.

Given the findings of some practices and routines, it is easy to know what the problems are with the security companies. It is your case? The scenes are classic. A child with chocolate smeared shirt says, categorically: "It was not me." Or the phone rings and mother assures you, "There's nothing to worry about." Or a systems administrator who carries a box of tapes back up guarantees: "Within minutes, all information will be retrieved." In some cases, the first words you hear - despite the distance between them and the truth - are enough to tell you everything you need to know.

The same applies to the world of information security. Some words sound reassuring, but we know they often point out problems of internal security, technical resources or the people and processes involved in the protection systems. Get to know some of the phrases "revealing secrets" that signal the imminence of problems in security. One. One We have a culture of safety We have a culture of safety "No, you do not have" is the immediate response of the professionals. "No, you have not's" is the immediate response of the professionals. Even if only mentally. Even if only mentally. This is the kind of phrase that comes from companies that started with five people - in the traditional family business model - and, as they grew, a snap themselves operating with thousands of people without governance or policies.

The simple fact is that without support guidelines or feedback mechanisms (feedback), security is defined differently by each and is not verified by anyone. The simple fact is without support guidelines That common mechanisms or feedback (feedback), security is defined differently by each and is not verified by anyone. There are no metrics for compliance with the "culture" and a "safety culture" is hidden by a practice of "do your job". If there are rules, write them down. If there are rules, write down Them. If technology is put into action to implement or monitor the rules, write that down too. If technology is put into action to Implement or monitor the rules, write down That too. If people break the rules, comply with what was agreed. If the rules undermine the legitimacy of the business when completed, change them. 2nd. 2nd. IT security is information security IT security is the security of information Information security is not the same thing in the information technology security. If the term "information security" is used in the same way that "IT security", it invariably means that nobody has taken decisions not primarily security techniques that affect departments - IT, human resources, legal, audit and perhaps others in the organization. Join those who have influence in the departments listed above and decide whether information (not paper documents or equipment) is an asset of the company, such as computers and desks. Decide whether the company authorizes people to do jobs, logical and physical access to information as individuals.

Then maybe there will be more time to decide "how to" manage security - rather than trying to guess ... 3rd. 3rd. This does not apply to the chief This does not apply to the chief Although this is becoming less of an issue in public, occasionally an executive simply refuses to follow security guidelines that he himself approved. Although this is less of an issue Becoming in public, occasionally an executive simply Refuses to follow security guidelines That he himself approved. Unless you are prepared to meticulously document all "escapades" following the model of forensics and then deliver them to the directors or the police (or just quit), be prepared to work around the situation. Most bad apples can be managed by applying the Machiavellian sense of having influence the relationship of the other: they must at least pretend to lead by example, while continuing to do whatever they do behind closed doors. Few will admit it, but many Organizations simply put in the budget and install a DSL line access to "guests" in the halls of top executives and Their Eyes close to anything that is plugged into That line. This is not a desirable solution, but if you still solve these executives sign the documents required by Sarbanes-Oxley, the rest comes from the ability to deny knowledge of security professionals. 4th. 4th. Our department gets information security IT staff Our department gets information security IT staff Titles do not matter. Titles of not matter. A report by a security expert at the IT director is always a security administrator, even if that person has the job of information security officer. The problem is that in the corporate world the word "officer" usually means that professional has the authority to verify and monitor whether all the techniques and processes that control proprietary information are efficient. An IT security administrator is usually involved in designing technical control and therefore can not be "self-audit" and make sure that IT is doing the right thing, particularly if it relates to someone within IT. The security professional with the position of "officer" should always report the same level or higher as the IT director.

Worse, they have an OEM or a freelance consultant who set up the firewall for them and retain the single copy of the rules.

For better be your antivirus, two problems occur frequently: Lack of update. Inefficiency to block changes in the registry keys or writing to the system folder. For malware to install itself on the system successfully it needs basically two things, run and allowed to spread. Many users do not know, but as an administrative user, you have the power to destroy your system if you wish, as well as install whatever you want on it. When working on a computer as an administrative user, everything the user does is run with administrative powers and as such, you can modify any part of the operating system. hugs458Views2likes0CommentsRisks of fraud power increase in business
The risks of fraud in computer security or enterprise networks have grown considerably in Brazil and worldwide. Essas são algumas das conclusões de um estudo realizado pela Deloitte intitulado “Risk Intelligent governance in the age of cyber threats”. These are among the findings of a study conducted by Deloitte titled "Risk Intelligent governance in the age of cyber Threats." The study, which took into account other surveys to be drawn, points out that in 2011, organizations heard suffered an average of more than one successful cyberattack per week, which represents an increase of 44% compared to 2010. "Companies generally, should no longer be questioned about the possibility of such an attack happen. É bem provável que ele já esteja acontecendo”, destaca André Gargaro, sócio da área de Gestão de Riscos Empresariais da Deloitte. It is very likely that it is already happening, "says André Gargaro, a partner in the area of Enterprise Risk Management at Deloitte. The cyber attacks, the study indicates, may harm a business in various ways, from simple vandalizing the site, even to the shutdown of electronic fraud and intellectual property theft. In Brazil, Deloitte indicates, with the exception of the financial industry, preparation companies is still very reactive in relation to protection. Apenas depois da ocorrência de um evento considerável é que as corporações começam a se preocupar com medidas para evitar impactos de outros ataques.
