Data replication to Cloud
Hi all, my customer is willing to setup a Disaster Recovery solution. The source environment is based on Netbackup + DataDomain using DDBoost. Customer would like to replicate to cloud without using DELL DDVE, but he'd rather prefer to use standard blob storage in Azure. Can this be achieved using native NetBackup replication features, or do we need to stop using DDBoost on the source environment and start using a different deduplication tool? I've been given the attached high level architecture, but colleagues state that DDBoost must be disabled in order to use MSDP-C for replication.Replication target for Storage Server failed
Hello, i have a problem when adding replication target (AIR) for my msdp media storage server. Tried to re-add trusted master server from the other nbu domain (with re-issue token), it all went through successfully, but it didnt help. Still the same issue with storage server. Note: Target Primary and media server are the same , will be used only for replications to our second location. The error log from target master server - spad.log: January 23 10:40:40 ERR [000002AA4DA7CD90]: 25056: sslVerifyCallback: SSL Certification verification error 20: unable to get local issuer certificate(issuer = /CN=nbatd/OU=root@target-master/media-server/O=vx) January 23 10:40:40 ERR [000002AA4DA7CD90]: 25056: _sessionSSLKeySend: SSL initialization failed: could not accept client session[SSL error = 1, errno = 0] January 23 10:40:40 INFO [000002AA4DA7CD90]: nbuapi::SetCAUsageSyncFlag: set cause sync flag January 23 10:40:40 ERR [000002AA4DA7CD90]: 25056: Session start request from nbu-media01.cz.prod:43590 could not be honored (ssl initialization failed) January 23 10:40:40 INFO [000002AA4DA7CD90]: (unknown) Task 48 [thread 000002AA4DA7CD90] for source-media-server:43590 failed with unknown error. Seems like the important part there is: SSL Certification verification error 20: unable to get local issuer certificate and i dont know how to fix it... Could someone help me with any kind of solution or a workaround? Thanks in advance.
The discrepancy in "file counts" between replicated backup job
Hi, We have 2 Netbackup instances, one is at the primary site, and another is at the DR site. And, the primary instance replicates all the backups to the DR instance every day. And our backup system's auditor yesterday noticed that, even for the backup from the same VM, the Files counts at its primary backup is different to its replication at the DR (see below) So, I'm wondering if anyone could help me to answer the below 2 questions (from our auditor) What caused this discrepancy in “File counts” ? Is “this discrepancy” a problem ? Thanks, Kelvin
Is there any NBU command/syntax to check the duration&speed of each completed AIR/replication job?
Hi guys, I just want to know if there's a specific NBU command/syntax to get the duration and speed of replication that lapse in Activity Monitor. I've tried the command "nbstlutil" but there's no output I needed. Hoping someone can help me thank you. :( # /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbstlutil repllist -U -sincetime 2021/04/03 | more /find PROD-VMWPSAPDB01_1617382856 Image: Master Server : VMLPNBUINF01 Backup ID : PROD-VMWPSAPDB01_1617382856 Client : PROD-VMWPSAPDB01 Backup Time : 1617382856 (2021/04/03 01:00:56) Policy : VMWPSAPDB01_AIR_BACKUP Client Type : 40 Schedule Type : 0 Storage Lifecycle Policy : Monthly_HO_TO_DR Storage Lifecycle State : 3 (COMPLETE) Storage Lifecycle Is Inactive : false Time In Process : 1617410995 (2021/04/03 08:49:55) Data Classification ID : (none specified) Version Number : 1 OriginMasterServer : (none specified) OriginMasterServerID : {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} Import From Replica Time : 0 (0 secs) Required Expiration Date : 0 (0 secs) Created Date Time : 1617382856 (2021/04/03 01:00:56) Copy: Master Server : VMLPNBUINF01 Backup ID : PROD-VMWPSAPDB01_1617382856 Copy Number : 102 Copy Type : 3 (REPLICATE_TO_REMOTE_MASTER) Expire Time : 1648918856 (2022/04/03 01:00:56) Expire LC Time : 1648918856 (2022/04/03 01:00:56) Try To Keep Time : 1648918856 (2022/04/03 01:00:56) Residence : *Remote*Master*:Monthly_HO_TO_DR Copy State : 5 (COPYCOMPLETE) Job ID : 70850 Retention Type : 0 (FIXED) MPX State : 0 (false) RetryCount : 4 Last Retry Time : 1621258574 (2021/05/17 21:36:14) Source : 1 Destination ID : (none specified) Replica: : 0 DataFormat : 0 (DF_UNDEFINED) SLP Index : 2 Replication Target: Source Master Server: VMLPNBUINF01 Backup ID : PROD-VMWPSAPDB01_1617382856 Copy Number : 102 Target Machine : PMLRMSDPINF01 Target Info : PureDiskVolume Remote Master : (none specified)
AIR Import jobs not starting after reinstall NetBackup
Hello specialists, I have a question about not starting AIR Import jobs after we reinstalled 1 of the masters on a new server with newer Windows version and restored the Catalog. We run NetBackup 8.1.2 on W2016 Datacenter (on the old server it was Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter), we write to Data Domains and replicate with AIR. Before shutting down 1 of the old masters we stopped Replication on both masters with "nbstlutil inactive -destination *Remote*Master*". After succesfull installation of NetBackup and restore of the Catalog (we kept the same hostname and IP for the new server) we activated replications again with "nbstlutil active -destination *Remote*Master*". After some 30 minutes replications started on both masters, imports started on the not-reinstalled master. However on the reinstalled master import jobs did not start for over 12 hour. I tried different solutions from this forum to no result. However: We have a small test environment with a 3rd and 4th master writing to the same Data Domains to completely different mtrees as the production environment. These test mtrees (both source and target) are of course not configured in the production environment. Now the trick: After configuring on the reinstalled master a Diskpool and STU on the test mtrees the imports began to run. So my problem has been solved but in a somewhat illogical way. Can this be explained? Kind regards, Peter
Replication jobs 20 seconds delay
Hi there, We have configured AIR for our both NetBackup environments. Every Replication job (also the ones which replicate very small SQL transaction log backups) suffer from a 20 seconds delay between each file. Each delay occurs between the lines Replicating images to target storage server Info bpdm (pid=37580) EXITING with status 0 I think this has nothing to do with the transfertime of the image because it occurs at al smaller jobs. Do we have a firewall issues causing timeouts or so? Any help appreciated. Peter
