Does Data Protector 9.x (latest) support Veritas Cluster Server 6.2.1 with Red Hat 6.2.1? The compatibility guide on the community site is very old and I don't have a passport account.

How to restore IDB from File library in DR site on virtual machine[cell manager]

$
0
0

Hi ,

can some one please tell me how i can restore IDB on DR site from File library ?

My environment - cell manager 9.08 , RHEL 6.8 - [on virtual machine ]

I'm currently backing up IDB on File library [on a different vmdk in the same virtual machine - or let's on filesystem in linux and using as a file library]

I've initiated DR using SRM and can see virtual machine disks [alongwith backup - file library].

not sure , if backing up IDB on File library is  the best way to do that. but i thought it would be easy to get consistent IDB on DR site.

i can see IDB file library backup in /IDB dir but not sure how i can restore thos *.fd files.

any thought would be highly appriciated.

many thanks,

dpx

(DP) Support Tip: Replication Jobs fail with - Replication error: Changed whilst queued or paused

$

Environments that are running replication (copy jobs) using Data Protector and the source side is a single node StoreOnce or a Multi-node Model B6200 may experience the following behavior:

[Critical] From: CSM@host.domain.com "RZ1_SQL_REP_RZ2_R_SQL"  Time: 19.10.2016 11:00:47

      Replication error: Changed whilst queued or paused.

or in the catalyst log(s):

2016-09-22 13:44:18 (0090) : ObjCJP (14254:15607:46914884081984) : INFO : REP_OSCopyJobPoller_Thread: rDbgCmn_LogObjectCopyJobRecords() Ln 2725: (LastJobPauseCancelReason=Server Too Busy)

This same information may also be logged in the Data Protector debug_d2d.log

This behavior is caused where environments are exceeding their number of outbound copy jobs.  Try alternating/staggering the copy jobs in the Data Protector Scheduling to reduce the load.

DR Dataprotector 8 - Restore is not available

Hello,

After a crashing backup server we had to install a new one from scratch. Windows 2012. Afterwards I've installed DP 8.0 and imported the tapes which have our IDB. License is activated. Same ip address.

When I want to do a restore I get the following error:

"Restore is not available. There is no backups found after the last restore (or at all) and time of restore is after the time of the last restore"

Can someone give me advise on how to get the restore working?

 


[61:1005] Got unexpected close from BMA on xx, after disabling dataprotector encrypted control

Hi,

 

I have a problem with "data protector encrypted control"

after enabling, no backups jobs are running.

I have disabled as described at:

http://blog.ifost.org.au/2014/09/disabling-data-protector-encrypted.html

 

even then I have backup problems. I solved it for HP-UX and Linux, but windows clients are still not working.

We using DP6.21 (Cell manager in on HP-UX 11.31)

On one of the windows client, we have reinstall DP (manual) but also that won’t help.

When I want to import the client I got [12:1625] Import host failed.

 

 

omnicc -encryption -status msp0009

Client                 Enabled         Enabled(CM)

msp0009.dt.ect.nl       false           false

 

omnicc -list_authorities msp0009

The execution of the script was interrupted (most probably the script died ungracefully).

 

Need help.

About the DP6.2x's behavior

$

Hello all,

I have several questions about the DP6.27 that need your help. 

1. They created the Schedule that backup data from disk to tape. what will happen if target disk device is missing?

backup failed or backup will secure but empty backup file will be created?

2. If backup is suspended because target disk device is missing when backup is in progress, can they still use the suspended backup file to restore the data?

What will happen if they continue the backup after backup is suspended? continue to write the suspended backup file or overwrite the suspended backup file? 

Appreciate your prompt help. 

Thank you and Best regards.

DP 7 DFMF file library full up, but when i look in directory view it doesn't show its full

$

So i'm still using DP 7.03. I know its old and its something we plan to upgrade, anyway I have a file library made of 4 x 2TB drives, and all 4 are basically full. If you look in devices in media at some of them as an example in one of the 2tb drives I have the following files and the sizes next to them which adds up to 1342.58GB

f00b320a557fbd72b507cc50a37 - 1287.64

f00b320a5581132a1507cc51258 - 8.04

f00b320a55813922f507cc51338 - 0.01

f00b320a55813c732507cc5136d - 19.75

f00b320a5581794be507cc514c7 - 8.28

f00b320a5581240af507cc512ad - 18.86

 

 so i should roughly have 700GB still free, but when i look at the directory view in DP it says i have 0.015 available disk space. And if i look at the server hosting the drive, i can see this disk has only 15MB free.

I think this has happened over time by deleting old media and DP hasn't cleaned itself. Do you know i can manually delete files not associated to the jobs above. i.e. can i delete all fd files in that folder that aren't listed above? Also I have a DFMFRespository in that folder with lots of .rr and .rl files and 2 folders starting with rp_f00bxxxxxxxxx with lots of folders in like D000, D00A, D00B etc.

any advice greatly appreciated

Restore from a StoreOnce Software Dedupstore

$

0

Hello everybody,

a server that was hosting a StoreOnce Software Dedup Store has crashed. The hardware is getting replaced tomorrow. How do I go about restoring the data? I have backups on a NAS that was connected via iSCSI to the crashed server. Here is what I think should work:

  • Install HPDP software including Dedup on the new hardware
  • New hardware will have same FQDN so it should still be in the cell
  • Copy the system.db.bak from the NAS onto the client as system.db
  • Library should appear as it was 
  • Run restore from that library

Am I correct? Will that work?

Thanks in advance

Backup operation at Disaster recovery site

Hi,
In my environment (cell manager 9.08 - VM), I have 2 cell managers for primary and DR site. In DR situation, how should I perform backup for virtual, physical environment.
Should I import all clients, backup specifications, schedule in DR site cell manager? Or configure DR site devices such as store once, MSL tape in primary cell manager in DR site ?

If yes, can I perform backup to DR site devices from 2 cell manager?


Or,is there any other way to do that ?
I know it's not a standard situation because I don't have store once replication license and in DR situation,data will be restored from offsite tape backup.

Thanks
Dpx

(DP) Support Tip: Clear poor flag from all the tapes in a pool

$
0
0


The below command will go through the list of media in the pool "Example Pool" and attempt to reset the poor flag from any media that has this flag enabled.

/opt/omni/bin/omnimm -list_pools "Example Pool" -detail |awk -F ": "\
'/identifier/{t=$2};/Status/{print t $2};/Poor/{system("/opt/omni/bin/omnimm\
-reset_poor_medium " t)}'

(The "-reset_poor_medium" will only clear the poor flag if it was set due to a failure in the drive. If the tape is marked poor because it has exceeded the maximum overwrites or reached its end of life as per the pool conditions, then the flag will not be cleared)
