You will need new licenses but if you have a current support contract there should be no charge.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

>omnidbutil -version
HP Data Protector A.07.00: OMNIDBUTIL, internal build 107, built on 31. maaliskuuta 2015, 11:08

I am trying to run the "omnidbutil -set_idb_password" command and descriebed in the links in my original post. It is not listed when I run the "-help" option and directly writing it just brings back the "-help" output (wrong syntax).

Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply Jeremy. It is a bit weird that on the official website there is this "NOTICE: The information in this Security Bulletin should be acted upon as soon as possible." but they recommend to the customers to not do it. I will try to contact HP support directly before I move on with patching other environments.

What Operating System version is the problem DP Media Agent Client?
What DP version is the problem DP Media Agent Client?  
What Operating System version is the problem DP Cell Manager?
What DP version is the problem DP Cell Manager?
I'd suggest making sure the DP Cell Manager and the client have the latest DP patches.
`omnicheck -patches` `omnicheck -patches -host dlpdcdbslp09`
Also OS patches.
Is the system dlpdcdbslp09 32 or 64 bit ?

 


HP DataProtector 9.04 mysql integration

After patching the installation server to 9.04 you have to delete and reimport it.

Otherwise you will not be able to "add" the mysql integration to a client.

Good... done... works fine ...

Problem :

"Be aware, for using the MySQL Backup you need the "new" ... "Advanced Online Integration License".

So ... how can I upgrade my "normal"  Online Integration License" to the Advanced one ???

You'll have to buy a license.

You might be able to find a 30-day evaluation license so that you can check it's really what you want first.

Data Protector - Poor / Unknown Drives - Backups not running

$
0

Hi All,

My Issue is as below, any advice is greatly appreciated:

There are a number of slots in a single VTL that I created that are now showing as 'poor' and as 'unknown' for their format in DP 9.04, some are even showing as just a grey slot symbol with their number (not identifier) and without a blue question mark. Backups had been running fine for weeks untilt his issue began a couple of days ago.

 

 Error messages are:

cannot write filemark

cannot rewind medium

cannot close device

cannot unload exchanger medium 

 

The backup jobs hang at ‘loading medium from slot’, then eventually the next message I get is ‘Ejecting medium’, then ‘aborting media agent ‘servername_vtl_drive[numer]’ 

DP then tries to use another drive for the backup but encounters the same issue, occasionally it gives the ‘cannot rewind medium’ error after dismounting a drive it has been unable to use. It then marks the slots that it has been unable to use as ‘Quality: Poor’ as a result. They had previously been showing as ‘Quality: Good’ before the backup jobs tried to use them. 

I have looked at the VTL and the HP B6200 Storeonce device that is hosting it, isn’t reporting anything out of the ordinary. I am unable to scan both media showing as ‘poor’ and also media showing as ‘unknown’. I am also unable to format that media too, it hangs at ‘loading medium from slot’ the same as the backup jobs do. 

I have been able to use the ‘omnimm –reset_poor_medium’ command to change the ‘poor’ drives back to ‘good’ but this doesn’t seem to be much use. 

I was wondering if anyone had encountered this before? or might know what could be causing it?

Many Thanks

Error: storonceinfo.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

In my configuration I have the following setup

Main Site:

CM on windows server 2008 R2

StoreOnce Software Store on Linux

DR Site:

StoreOnce Software Store on Linux

 

I wanted to list my StoreOnce stores from the Cell Manager. Primarily to test if the Store was running. We are on 9.04 and previously we were having difficulty with the Store at the DR Site stopping. We think this was due to bad connections during syncs with the Main site.

The fix in most of those cases has been to reboot one or both of the StoreOnce Software Stores.

When I try doing the following commands from a command prompt on the CM:
cd "C:\Program Files\OmniBack\bin\"
storeonceinfo.exe -list_stores -type=SOS -host <dpStorehostname>

I get the following error:
"C:\Program Files\OmniBack\bin\storonceinfo.exe is not a valid Win32 application."

The first three times I ran it the program worked on Windows 2008 R2, but now it does not.

Why?

Identify Media Server

Hello!

 

I have a question. We have 4 Media Server. 2 for the Tape Libraries and 2 for vmware.

Is it possible to identify these Server with registrykey or similar?

Hi,

the problem might be caused by a SCSI problem with the devices/changer. You need to check your fibre channel settings for the VTL used and presented to the host. Check if zoning is correct and server is connected. Use LTT Tools to try connecting to the VTL. Use "uma -ioctl <SCSI address of changer> -barcode" to see if you can connect to the VTL. Use "devbra -dev" to check if the devices are displayed as expected. In DP GUI, check if SCSI address for the changer and devices have changed.

 

Best regards

Hi,

you could use the command "omnirsh <client> INFO" to get information from the client which components are installed.

Hello!

thank you for answer.

But I need a Identifiacation for example in registry.

I have found a key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\SOFTWARE\Hewlett-Packard\Openview\OmniBackII\Features\

This could be the path I need for authentificate the feature of a server:

  • ...\MA           Media-Agent --> to manage Tape-Devices
  • ...\ mssql70   MSSQL-Agent
  • ...

is this correct?

Report with variable in their names

$
0

Hi,

Here is my situation

I currently have reports that have sent method "LOG" and the lors are saved on our network.
Some of those reports have, in their name (Log to file / path) the variable %date.

For exemple, we are saving daily "list of all session in the last 24 hours report" once a day.
\\SERVER\SHARE\Daily_ListAllSessions_%date.html create report with names like : Daily_ListAllSessions_11092015.html.

We have those reports configured for a long time and we can't remember where we found that %date in the log name would work. I searched in every corner of forums and documentations we have and there is no mention of it. 
It is probably not a Windows variable so our guess is it is a DP variable.

What I tried and know is :

  • %time works as well. It will produce the time with the format HHMM.
  • I know that if I put 2 variable in the name, it will only works on the first variable . ex: %date-%time produce : 11102015-%time.
  • Same thing apply with %time-%date.
  • %timestamp does not work.

 

My problem is :

We now want to produce report for every job running by creating a notification event that create the report after job ends.

Having %date in the name is bad because reports don't have a unique name and Session Object Report are overwritten over and over during the day.
We could use only %time but we feel that we may loose some reports if 2 jobs end at the same time.
As I said, using %date and %time together will only "translate" the first variable of the name

My question :

Do you guys know about those variables ?
Do you know a way we could put more than one variable in our Log save path in order to have a unique name for each report created ?
Do you know other variables that would help create a unique name (like SESSION ID or something) ?

 

Thank you for any help you could give me.

Have a good day.

Alainboots
