DP 8 VEAgent VM Object ID's replaced user friendly VM names

$
0
0

We just  upgraded to DP8.1 and find the use of ID's UUID's GUID's whatever they are for object place holders a sorry replacement for simple datacenter->resource pool->VM name identifiers.

 

I also do not trust the reporting. Upon closer examination I realized to my chagrin that actually only 4 VM backups succeeded.

Backup Statistics:

         

            Session Queuing Time (hours)         0.00       

            -------------------------------------------     

            Completed Disk Agents ........         13         

            Failed Disk Agents ...........          0         

            Aborted Disk Agents ..........          0         

            -------------------------------------------     

            Disk Agents Total  ...........         13         

            ===========================================     

            Completed Media Agents .......          4         

            Failed Media Agents ..........          0         

            Aborted Media Agents .........          0         

            -------------------------------------------     

            Media Agents Total  ..........          4         

            ===========================================     

            Mbytes Total ................. 1836171 MB       

            Used Media Total .............          4         

            Disk Agent Errors Total ......          0    

 

We also have to go through serious kung fu to get a Linux install to succeed. I have used DP since version 6, I was hoping for more.

 

Any other adopters out there. Can I get my user friendly object names back?

Hello!

I want to create a report where I can see in which jobs each server is included. Is this possible. It doesn't matter if this is taken on the command shell.

I can do this with a single client: "Session Specification Information"

Please help us. Thanks!

monitoring backup of the file systems

$

Hello,

I have some questions.

There are some File systems which are located on a SAN. There are two scenarios:

1)            Some file systems are permanently mounted on certain servers

2)            Others are part of a high availability cluster

 

In case of a cluster the needed file systems for a certain application are all visible to all cluster nodes (cluster servers) at the same time. A certain node is assigned to primarily run a certain service. Therefore it mounts the file system and provides the service as a new, virtual IP. The trick is now, that the virtual IP and virtual name can also be brought up by another cluster node in case the first one fails. This by itself is not a problem but it has turned out that this provides a problem for the backup because the backup is naturally file system oriented. From a user (or calling services) perspective the user only talks to the virtual IP and name, which never changes. He has no idea that this IP is in reality running on a physical cluster node with its own IP and name and on top of that the cluster nodes can even change.

 

by the default log file which I get from HP, I just get the machine names, mount points, full backup and incremental backup.

 

Now the question is how to be sure if backup of the file systems are correctly backed up?

I can think of some aproached:

1- check the list of file system and check the list of backed up files and compare to see if those FS are in back up. we pay attention to timestamp

2- the same as above but this time comparing also the size

3- check if machines in general are backed up

4- MD5 checksum

 

can someone give me any other idea and suggestion?

 

Thanks

DP 6.21 pending jobs resolution order

$

We're running Data Protector 6.21 and I'm having a problem with backup jobs timing out because I get multiple jobs waiting on the (single) tape drive and when it finally finishes it runs the last job started rather than the one that has been waiting the longest.

 

Is there a setting that would cause it to process the pending jobs in FIFO order rather than LIFO?

 

Thanks,

DP7.0 - Time Sync on Cell Manager Causes IPC Read Error

$
0
0

Since 2 weeks my dataprotector is having alot of "IPC Read Error: Connection reset bij peer"s.

After doing some research on the servers reporting these backup-failures i've come to a conclusion that every time the "Cell Manager" does a Time Sync with our local NTP-server (i assume), all dataprotector backup jobs lose their connection to the hosts.

 

Error reported on the Cell Manager:

Level: Information

Source: Kernel-General

General: The system time has changed to 2014-04-29T07:34:25.610000..Z From 2014-04-29T07:33:17.94217400Z.

 

Error report in dataprotector:

[Major] From: BSM@server** "Backup Job" Time: 4/29/2014 9:34:25 AM Lost connection to the VBDA named "location" on host "server". Ipc subsystem reports: "IPC Read Error System error: [10054] Connection reset by peer".

 

Does anyone know why the Cell Manager resyncs his time so often? or beter, why it differs so much... resyncing is done every 1024 seconds as i can find in the w32tm cmd.

 

The Cell Manager is an Virtual VM server, using an NTP server inside our domain. I know i can make the "retry aborted connection -time value longer but only this server seems to be having this issue. and doesnt give me a solution on Sheduled automated backup copy jobs. I could also manage this server by GPO and turn off time sync but that is not realy a good idea as the problem is not solved.

SAP R/3 Integration + StoreOnce + Source Side Deduplication - [No source side deduplication device]

$

Hi,

 

I have a problem with the configuration of the DP integration of SAP R/3 and our test StoreOnce.

At first, our normal backups via brbackup to the HP D2D is still working, I got a test system due to perfomance issues with the D2D.

 

I've created a store in the StoreOnce (Store_1) and set up the new device in Data Protector.

Added the gateways for the SAP system for source side dedup and tested it via a simple filesystem backup and restore.

That's working without any errors.

 

After that I created a new SAP Backup (test) for the SAP system and chose Store_1 as destination.

To verify the settings, I started a preview of the backup, which ended with success:

I also see on the StoreOnce the blank media with a size of 5.6 MB .

 

 

On client side I edit the SAP util_file:

Old:
OB2BARLIST=SID OB2_3RD_PARTY_BACKINT=1 OB2BARHOSTNAME=SID
New.
OB2BARLIST=test OB2_3RD_PARTY_BACKINT=1 OB2BARHOSTNAME=SID

 

If I start a test backup (online without redo logs), I get the error: 

No source side deduplication device that matches object BAR SID:SID.0 "SID" could be instantiated.

I think that's a problem with the OB2 parameters, or? I also tested OB2BARLIST with various parameters like:

OB2BARLIST=test
OB2BARLIST=Store_1              [Device Name]
OB2BARLIST=Store_1_Source_side  [Drive name]

 

I don't find anything about this in the Integration Guide for Oracle and SAP or in the D2D Guide.

Does someone else is using SAP and StoreOnce with Source Side DeDup?

Thanks for any advise!

Data Protector 8.01 VEPA Cannot Backup Virtual Machines

$

Hello All,

 

I'm getting a very strange information from my DP 8.01 using VEPA integration.

 

I'm still using NDB backup while all data stores are being presented to my backup host (which has media agent installed).

 

I have this message while performing a test backup:

 

[Major] From: VEPALIB_VMWARE@chipre "All Datacenters" Time: 5/14/2014 1:39:10 PM
Virtual Machine 'qvsrv': Could not backup disk scsi0:0 ...

[Major] From: VEPALIB_VMWARE@chipre "All Datacenters" Time: 5/14/2014 1:39:10 PM
Virtual Machine 'qvsrv': No disk backed up ...

 

I have already imported my VCenter server using the follow steps:

 

I added a disk agent component only

I imported the VCENTER server to my cell.

 

I can see my datacenters, the snapshot is started, then the error occours and the snapshot is deleted. I also checked whether my vm is marked to use independent disks (is not using).

 

In Vcenter console I can see either a snapshot or removing snapshot tasks.

 

I followed all steps from DP 8.00 virtualization manual and I couldn't find anything else related to this error.

 

I checked also the support matrix for VCenter 4.1 and ESX 4.1 with DP 8.01 version and it seems it's fine.

 

I'm really whithout answers.

 

Best Regards

ok, don't laugh at this one...

 

I need to download DP 6.2 and am unable to find it.  The only DP SW options are release 7 and 8.  Has HP hidden it or is it gone from their website?

 

Thanks

 

oh, BTW - yes we are planning on upgrading to V7 as soon as we get 6.21 loaded onto our new Linux server

Need Data Protector 6.11 download info

Hello,

 

Can anyone tell me if Data Protector 6.11 is still available for download anywhere? I have a license for an

HP-UX Cell manager for this version. Most of what I backup are RedHat 5 64 bit clients. I have the disk agent

software for those, but I just got two new tools in that are RH5 32 bit boxes. Is there a 32 bit download still

available for this somewhere? I only see DP 7 and DP 8 downloads, so if anyone knows of a link to get the

older DP 6.11 32 bit code, please let me know.

 

Thanks,

 

Mark
