I am receiving an error code 144, invalid command usage on an Index from Snapshot job.
I am running Replication Director on some VMware clients to backup vmdk files. We are backing up VMware Datastores to NetApp storage array. The snapshot, backup and Replication are successful, but the Index from Snapshot are failing just for a hand ful of clients not all. I do have some other policies setup the same way that are successful. Any information would be helpful. Thank you, Frank
Replication Director SLPs and Netapp cDot
Hello I have a question to the SLP behavior with Replication Director on cDot Netapps. On 7mode Netapps it was possible to have multiple SLPs (daily, weekly, monthly,...) with the same destination volume on a backup netapp. For example. I have a daily SLP which replicates the VMs to a secondary site and I have a monthly SLP which does the same but also do a tape out once a month for long term retention. In 7 mode I had 1 destination volume for that. In cMode now the RD creates destination volumes based on SLP names. So If i have 3 SLPs I need 3 times the space on the destination Netapp. I wonder if no one else has this problem???
Replication director with Oracle
Hi, I am asking about certain setup for Replication director.. and if it is applicable because i am building a use case to use the replication director with the NetApp.. first.. the environment is a clustered master server NBU 8.1.2 on win 2012R2..with 4 media servers same NBU and windows version as master and one Veritas appliance 5230. we have a lot of Oracle DB on AIX. what i am thinking about is as follows To get the NetApp.. and have Oracle replicated using date guard to new environment hosted on NetApp as a NAS.. question here.. how to host it as a NAS not san.. using NFS or iscsi? next is to have snapshots taken from NetApp.. and then NBU will take backup from the snapshot..is it possible to take incremental backup from the snapshot? and how can i restore from the snapshot? Thanks for any help..Replication Director Licensing
Any ideas on how licensing for NBU Replication Director (NetApp) works if you have a NBU Front End Capacity License? There are three possiblities: The Front End Capacity license enables you to use Replication Director for NetApp and the size of the protected data is not relevant The Front End Capacity license enables you to use Replication Director for NetApp and the size of the capacity of the enitire NetApp appliance has to be included. The Front End License covers both using the Replication Director and all of the NetApp storage on the appliance. The Front End Capacity license enables you to use Replication Director for NetApp and the size of the capacity of only the NetApp appliance data that is being protected has to be included. The Front End License covers both using the Replication Director and some of the NetApp storage on the appliance Licensing for NetApp is a different story, I am only concerned about NetBackup 8
Orchestrating NetApp cDOT Snapshots with NetBackup 7.7
With the release of NetBackup 7.7 last month we introduced support for NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP (cDOT). While the cDOT environment provides a highly-available, scale-out storage platform, it can be tricky to backup using storage-level technologies such as NDMP or NetApp Snapshot, SnapMirror, and SnapVault.Lookout NDMP backup, with snapshots your birthdays are numbered!
In case you didn’t know… NDMP was conceived in 1995 and celebrates its 17 th birthday this year. In dog years that would make it 119 years old. In tech years, more like 170 years, which is probably a light estimate. And while NDMP may be getting long in the tooth, data growth is causing NDMP backups to age even faster. I mean depending
