5230 Appliance - BIOS Warning
I have just installed a new 5230 appliance which shipped with 2603 installed. After initial configuration I upgraded the appliance to 261 which completed successfully in approximately 1 hour (MSDP pool only contained a couple of test backups). During the boot following upgrade I noticed a message as follows: "The installed version of the BIOS firmware is not correct. Contact your administrator to update the BIOS firmware" I was under the impression that the upgrade rpm packages updated all required firmware, O/S and NBU code ? I cannot locate any details regarding BIOS upgrades for the 5230 appliance. I don't know if this is specific to 261 (first 261 Iinstall I have completed) - has anyone come accross this ? Thanks, AJ

Netbackup Appliance vs DataDomain
Hi We are in a process to make changes to our current backup environment. Our main focus is to do some changes in our 2 main sites. Both sites have their respective domains with multiple mediaservers (no appliance or DD). What we are trying to achieve is as follows: Try to merge both domains, so both are member of the same domain acting as a cluster with 1 node at each site. Purchase storage or appliance to achieve the following: With 1 storage\appliance at each site, have optimized duplication enabled so we have 2 copies of the backup, one at each site(storage\appliance) at all time. This to gradually go away fromweekly tape vault and go overto a disk based solution. I have done som research already, and this forum thread is to verify the information in handand to add even more information is possible. Could someone give me answers to the following questions: First and foremost, to achieve the above mentioned goals, Do you guys suggest DataDomain or Netbackup Appliance? And then why? Is optimized duplication only a feature available in storages like Netbackup appliances\DD or is it something you can achieve with two MSDP pools at each site? Netbackup recommends that we segment the data on a dedupe pool for best performance, how are we suppose to achieve that when we only can create 1 pool out of 1 Netbackup appliance? In DD you can create mutiple pools, and have a Global deduplication enabled. How can we achieve that with Netbackup appliance?

Migrating Images between Netbackup Domains
I have a requirement whereby we are replacing 4 x 50x0 Puredisk Appliances with 4 x 5220 Appliances. The current config has all devices in the same Netbackup domain, even though 2 of the 50x0 appliances are in a remote location. Each pair of 50x0 appliances is presented as a single pool within Netbackup. We are implementing the new 5220 appliances in an AIR configuration - therefore there will be two distinct NBU domains (one production and one DR). The current master server will remain in the production site, with one of the 5220 appliances in DR acting as the Master server in the other NBU domain. My issue is in migrating the data from the current 50x0 appliances to the new 5220 appliances. In the production site the images can simply be duplicated from the 50x0's to the 5220's, as they are all in the same NBU domain. But when considering migrating the images from the remote 50x0's (which are part of the original production NBU domain) to the new 5220's in the new NBU domain - what are the best options here ? The environment does not include any tape devices. AJ
