Re: Data Protector 9 Barcode scan issue

Hi Joe,     

Good to hear it is solved.

There is an extra step required after patching on Unix Cell Managers, I’m not sure if you are aware of it.
In case you (or anyone reading) are not…

The install of DP patches installs the binary packets in the same manner as an Installation Server.  
These are not always used by a Unix (HP-UX or Linux) Cell Manager itself.
To ensure the patched binaries are used by the Unix Cell Manager carry out the following, in the GUI... 
   In the "Clients" context, expand the "Clients" menu in left pane. 
   Right click on the hostname of the Unix Cell Manager and select "Upgrade…",
   In right pane click “Next” and "Finish".

Note: This is only for Unix Cell Managers, not Windows CMs. Please do not try it on a Windows Cell Manager.

Regards,  Stewart

Re: Patch 9.02: VMware GRE Support gone ?????

VMWare GRE plug in is not available for VSphere Client.  Its only available in web client. 

VCenter Server Appliance(VCSA on SUSE) is supported and procedure is same for VCenter and VCSA. 

Note: Enable firewall ports and provide IP/host names in host resolution files.

For Linux VM, recovery exports must be configures and NFS must be ON.

Re: LTO-6 compatibilidade com Data Protector A.06.11

hi,

It seems that is not supported, or at least not in the compatibility matrix.
But this does not mean that there will not work, you could try to see if they run backups.

 

Parece que não é suportado, ou pelo menos não na matriz de compatibilidade.
Mas isso não significa que não vai funcionar, você pode tentar para ver se eles executar backups.

Saudações

Verifying Tape Encryption in HP DP 8.12

I recenetly inherited a HP DP admininistration role and I was tasked with proucing a report on our bakcup and verifying that our tapes are properly encrypted.  

We are running HP DP 8.12 at at six locations with a MoM at the primary site.  Most sites have direct-attached HP MSL2024 tape libraires with LTO5 drives.  All tapes should be encrypted.  

I beleive I should be able to check the encryption of a tape by using:

   omnimm -list_media <tapename> -encryptioninfo

However, when I run this, every meida returns:         
   Encryption KeyID-StoreID  : -

When I look in the MSL2024 managment interface, the tape drives all show 'Encryption not Enabled' and 'Server key not present' under the drive informaton screens.

If I run 'omnikeytool -list -active', I do see several dozen keys. (I am not sure if this is per server or if it is for all servers as they are conencted via MoM).

I searched the HP DP 8.1 Installation and Licensing guide and the only refrence to drive-based encryption is in the appendix where is is noted that it is supported.  Seaching the HP DP Help .chm file returns similar results: lots of info on encrypting client-server sessions and alsmot nothing on tape encryption.

I have opened a ticket with HP support and their Costa Rica section is (as usual) less-than-helpful.    

Can anyone provide info on how I might be able to verifiy if the tapes written by HP DP are beign encrypted?

Does anyone know of tape drive encryption documetion for use with HP DP?  (Specifically how to setup encryption between HP DP and a HP tape library.)

Oracle backup in Vmware: SAN or Ethernet?

I installed Oracle integration Agent (DP 8.13) in Linux machine which is virtual machine inside VMware ESXi 5.5.0 environment.
Can I run Oracle backup (RMAN) task so that Oracle backup traffic goes to SAN?
Or I can backup DB only via ethernet in VMware environment?

Desconheço essa informação, no post onde você referenciou a informação, um usuário informou que só é suportado até LTO4, isso não é uma verdade, em meu ambiente tenho LTO5 e utilizava o Data Protector 6.11 sem maiores problemas.

Atualmente tenho LTO3, LTO5 e LTO6, mas não tenho mais a versão 6.11 do Data Protector.

Você está tendo algum problema em fazer a aplicação conversar com a MSL?

So you are not doing a VM backup using VE integration.

In this case, It does not matter for Data Protector Oracle Integration,  that where is the backup media. Your Backup media (Device) can be disk/tape, which is Local or connected via SAN.  This Device is configured in Backup specification. 

Backup process:

The Data Protector Oracle Integration agent (ob2rman.pl) works with RMAN to manage all aspects Backup and Recovery operations of the Oracle target database.

The Oracle Server processes initialize the backup through Oracle MML(Media Management library), which establishes a connection to the Data Protector Backup Session Manager. The Backup Session Manager starts the General Media Agent, sets up a connection between MML and the General Media Agent, and then monitors the backup process.
Then Oracle Server processes read the data from the disks and send it to the backup devices through MML and the General Media Agent.
The Data Protector General Media Agent writes data to the backup devices.

------------------------- 

In case of VM backup, for SAN, you need to present the datastore where Oracle is installed, to the Backup host also.

Re: Verifying Tape Encryption in HP DP 8.12

Hello BBracey,

When it comes to drive based encryption DP only has 2, quite distinct, roles...
 1. we request (or not) the drive to use "Drive-based encryption" if it is capable of doing so.
 2. we (optionally) handle the encryption key management.

We don't don't do anything else.

I'd say the commands you have described in the text above are only w.r.t. encryption key management.

If you want to see if a Tape drive within DP is set to use Drive based encryption... 
 GUI, Left pane...
 Devices and Media context, Devices, <name of tape library>
 Expand Drives, right click on the drive/device and select Properties
 Right pane, Settings tab, Advanced, Here you can see "Drive-based encryption".

 If it is set you can be reasonably sure backups to that drive are using "Drive-based encryption".
 If it is not set the backups to that drive are not using "Drive-based encryption".
 If it is greyed out, the drive (from a hardware point of view) is reporting to
  DP it is not capable of "Drive-based encryption".

Alternatively/additionally, it is possible to set "Drive-based encryption" in the backup spec.
 GUI, Left pane...
 Backup context, Expand Filesystem, right click on a spec "Properties"
 Right pane... Destination tab, highlight the drive, Properites
 Is "Drive-based encryption" checked ?

Hope this might help you tell if your backups are using "Drive-based encryption", or not.

A little about key management with respect to Drive-based encryption
 By default DP makes a new encryption key per media.
 By setting KeyEntity= and EnableCommonKeyEntity= values in the global file
     /etc/opt/omni/server/options/global
     \Program Files\OmniBack\Config\Server\Options\global
     \ProgramData\OmniBack\Config\Server\Options\global
 it is possible change it so DP makes fewer keys.

Hope this helps you.

Best regards,  Stewart

Re: Drive License query

A Windows Cell Manager license includes one Window or Linux local drive, but not a HP-UX or Solaris local drive and not a SAN attached drive (no matter what OS is accessing the drive).

So if the drive on the linux server is local (not SAN) I think you will be OK.

If the drive is SAN attached I think that is a problem.

Where are the support matrices for 9.0X?

I've been searching all around the web for the latest support matrices for 9.0X.
Particularly Platform and Integration, and also virtualization.

These matrices used to be very easy to find, and a 1. step when upgrading an old DP installation.
They were clearly linked from http://www.hp.com/go/dataprotector

But now I'm at a loss, having wasted several hours searching up and down the web.
Are they no longer available?

Where on the new site can I find the current status of a QCCR?

Also, we have had a couple of QCIM and another which I thought was a QCRP, but I cannot locate the part currently.
