Recently migrated servers, followed the 9.05 guide Data Protector - Installation Guide.pdf Page 282-287. Everything went fairly well except I can't get the IDB to back up anymore, i continusly get ...backup mode failed. I upgraded from Server 2008 to Server 2012r2

I have checked archive_mode = on

Anyhelp would be appriciated

Hi experts,

I need to backup  VM servers located on an ESX in DMZ. The cell Manager  and Vcenter is in intranet.

What all ports I need to open from Cell Manager to the ESX in both directions. Is opening 443 sufficient enough between Cell manager and DMZ ESX server or port 902(bidirectional) is also required. 

Thanks in advance

Regards

Raj

Hi everyone.Please help me with DP agent.Where can i download DP Agent for Linux OpenSuse.

Thanks everyone

I am getting two warnings when backing up a VM. The warning is "Skipping disk 'scsi0:1' ". The disk doesnt need to be consolidated or anything. I cant find any more information, and it appears it is actually backing it up.

Any insight or help is greatly apprecited.

Hi,

We'll going to upgrade HPDP to 9.0.6 from 7.0 in next couple of weeks. I'd like to know any precautions to be taken before implementing it.

can we directly upgrade to 9.0.6 from 7.0? or is there any intermediate version required?

what could be size excepted for 9.0.6. We Omniback folder size in our environmwent 6 GB and free space leftout on C dirve is 2 GB? Will it sufficent or do we need to expand it?

Hi Guy,

I'm install Software Data Protector 9.0 on Linux but i have issue.

Ple help me support.

I see log.

Thanks !

We recently performed a restore of some SAP archive files. Strange thing about it: The restored files don't have a "modified date". The field is empty.
There has been a timestamp when the file was backed up and "Restore time attributes" is enabled for the restore.

Any suggestions?

Environment: DP9.07_110 on a Windows cell server

Hello friends.Please help me with suse linux.I can't found data protector agent for it.If anyone knows where i can get it, please help.

Thanks for everyone

We have a requirement to backup files from servers hosted behind a firewall. I've done this before for servers behind a firewall and I can arrange to have 5555 port opened and a small range which I can tie down with in omnirc file etc.

I've now a requirement to do this for DMZ servers, essentially untrusted hosts. I've now been asked:

"Are the files that are being backed up being executed while being passed to tape via the Cell Manager/Media Server"

So apart from the fact we open a small number of ports, which we OK to accept the risk on, is there a risk of malicious executables or other files infecting the CM/MA/

Thanks

When connecting with Gui it asks me to verfy a key, after that it hangs for some seconds and ends up in error:

"A server error has occurred. Reported error message:

HP support is working since one week on this (or not.... )

Some ideas??

Hello,

I would like to install DP 9.06 CM + IS to HPUX servers in ServiceGuard cluster. Although I have read installation manual I still have few questions to you:

1.  SOFT LINKS. I have to create links of /var/opt/omni/server and /etc/opt/omni/server to shared disk before installation of CM+IS. Correct?

2. INSATLL TO SECONDARY NODE. Should I install CM to local or shared disk on secondary node (manualy mount shared disk on sec node and create links)? .. or it is no matter?

3. OMNIFORSG. Do you know what exactly omniforsg.ksh -primary/secondary do? Why it is needed to run this command?

Dear Sir,

i am using HP DP with product version A.06.11

Today, i tried run backup task but show the error "interprocess communication problem" error. So could you please help me to check and advise me how to fixing that issue. Thank you inadvance.

Hi ,

Is there any way to modify block size of LT0 drives in data protector. by default it is 256kb

I want to increase it becuase Storeonce gateways are configured on 512KB and becuase of 512kb size , i cannot offload backup to tapes [MSL 6480] . ofcourse , reduce the size on storeonce gateways can be solution of this problem.

my environment- 9.08 cell manager + storeOnce 6500

thanks,

DPx

buenos dias,

 estoy intentando configurar HP dataProtector para hacerle backup a Citrix Xenserver es posible?? hay algun manual de configuracion??

Muchas gracias

Hi There,

I am having difficulty to add a Ubuntu client either manually or via a DP installation server. When trying to add the client manually using the omnisetup.sh script , here is what I have done and the output results:-

The problem I found is the when using omnisetup.sh -install da Ubuntu does not recognise the rpm files under /DP_DEPOT, so one question what is the workaround? I have done the following so far:-

1. apg-get install rpm netkit-inetd
2. add line to inetd.conf " omni stream tcp nowait root /opt/omni/lbin/inet inet-log /var/opt/omni/log/inet.log
3. chmod +x omnisetup.sh
4. omnisetup.sh -install da

And I get the following output
root@nscf:/tmp/DP9/LOCAL_INSTALL# ./omnisetup.sh -server prdpcell.nhls.ac.za -install da

The omnisetup.sh script did not complete the last time it was run.
Client still has to be installed. (omnicf ts_core da)

The omnisetup.sh script can now resume the installation session
or it can ignore the saved state and start a new session.
If you choose to ignore, the script will erase the saved state
and will process only the command line options.
Do you want the setup to resume the installation? (Y/n)
n
Ignoring saved state...

No Data Protector software detected on the target system.



Packets going to be (re)installed: omnicf ts_core da


Installing Core (omnicf)...


RPM Package Manager is not installed or configured properly.
Setup cannot continue. Installation of the Data Protector CORE component failed.

I have also disabled the firewall on the Ubuntu side, and generated ssh keys for the Linux Redhat 7.1 DP installation server and Ubuntu 16.04 client.

Has anyone had this problem and managed a work around?

Kind Regards,

Jose

In couple environments we noticed extremely slow backup performance for windows hosts eg: 

[Normal] From: VBDA@hostname "hostname [/C]" Time: 10/10/2016 1:03:30 PM
STARTING Disk Agent for hostname:/C "hostname [/C]".

And it completes hours later with run time of just 1 hour: 

[Normal] From: VBDA@hostname "hostname [/C]" Time: 10/10/2016 9:07:13 PM

Backup Profile:

Run Time ........... 1:01:29
Backup Speed ....... 7.18 MB/s

It was discovered that this behavior is caused by McAfee AV solutions option scanning files opened for backup

https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB72334

******

When backing up data, such as when using Symantec Backup Program, performance can be as much as two to three times slower than usual. In some cases the server stops responding.

Hi All,

I'm using the HDP to backup my system. I set the protection time is 3 months.

And i did backup 6 months ago. Month by month with a tape full backup.

Today, i check the tapes and some of them were expired after 6 months
There are no data in the expired tape.

I donot know why? As i know, the protection time is to make sure your data cannot be overwrite.
But why my data gone away even i did nothing?

Please someone help to answer my question, i was socked to see it.

Thank you

Hi guys,

If I want to restore some files via Restore Objects in the DP GUI, and choose Search interval "Interval", the preset date is always 06/10/2015, so I have always first set the "To" date to "Today", then the "From" date to "Today" and after that I can set the date I want to get a restore from.

Is there an option/parameter to preset this date always to today? And why is today not the default option?

I didn't find anythning about that drop down menu, hopefully you can help me!

Best regards,

Tobias
