(DP) Support Tip: Copying from traditional media to StoreOnce

$

When data is copied from traditionl device (LTO, File  Library, Jukebox) to storeonce devices you might get error like: 

[Major] From: BMA@hostname  "Store_gw1 [GW 3192:0:6197155749911176774]" Time: 12/12/2015 12:22:18 PM
[90:51] \\hostname\Store\038da8c0_566e980a_07d8_004a
Cannot write to device (JSONizer error: Invalid inputs)

To avoid this copy specification should be configured so that it can start as many BMA processes for target gateway selected, as the concurrency setting used in the backup eg: 

1. if original backup concisted ot 10 objects multiplexed to single LTO drive (using concurrency 10)

2. copy specification should be configured with load balancing of at least 1-10. So that one BMA can be started for each multiplexed object

If this condition is not met, multiple RMAs will send data to single BMA leading to above mentioned error

(DP) Support Tip: After an upgrade to DP 9.05, VMware backups are done via LAN instead of SAN

After an upgrade to Data Protector 9.05, the SAN transport mode falls back to LAN on the vSphere versions 5.1 and 5.5.
This caused by an issue in on the VMware side, a workaround is documented on http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2135621
Conclusion: Use ESXi 6.0 hosts.

Hello.

If my SAID for Data Protector Expired it means I can't download installation iso of DP ? /patches for sure not/

I lost my DVD with Installation of DATA Protector.

And I'm going to format server with DATA Protector and install for straches.

What Can I do ?

Looking through video, looks like you had some driver crash...

Can you configure network manually (do not use bonding). Before running default recovery, drop to shell, and check network with ifconfig command.

If it shows only lo0, network is down. You can manually set up network needed for recovery with ifconfig command.

examples: http://linux-ip.net/html/basic-changing.html

When network is up (ping  and nslookup is working), you can type exit, and start recovery procedure.

Anyway, this looks like a defect, so better file a bug report to your support channel.

Did you find an answer to your question?  I am having issues with Exchange Granular Recovery as well.


(DP) support tip: Copy job protection change are only stored in the database.

When running a copy job and electing to change the protection of the copy, the new protection is not written to copied media but only stored in the internal database. When the copied media is exported and imported, it will get back the protection of original backup from which the copy was taken.

NORELOVER Flag : HPDP 9.03

$

Hello all,

We are having issues while restorations as it gets aborted automatically. Upon a thorough investigation, we found that the underlying root cause is a bug in import functionality. It marks integration versions with NORELOVER flag.

Is there any fix available since DP 9.03? I am aware that it has been resolved in 9.05 and if anyone has an issue in 9.05 the below command will help.

omnidbutil -run_script <DP_DIR>\bin\dbscripts\CPE\QCCR2A62624_clear_bar_norelover_flag.sql -detail

But is there anything available in 9.03?

We can't wait for an upgrade as there is an urgent restore at hand.

Thanks in advance!!

Do you have the patches?  DP doesn't work well unpatched.

`omnidbcheck -extended` - can be run when backups are running, but best run when cell is relatively quiet.
Best to avoid the time of the IDB backup.
if some parts fail, there are 3 text files that can help.

In 
\ProgramData\OmniBack\log\server - Windows
/var/opt/omni/server/log - unix
Check_bf.txt
Check_dc.txt
Check_sibf.txt

 If the check runs OK, no need to look at the files.

Looks like you encountered bug that is resolved in DP 9.05 patch bundle. Do you have DP 9.05 patch bundle installed?

If your server is still bootable, please patch it to DP 9.05 patch bundle, recreate ISO image and retry procedure.

For network issue, contact DP support, looks like it needs to be fixed.

(DP) Support Tip: Generating debugs using the Data Protector Scheduler

$
0
0

Although documented, but not commonly known, it is possible to use the regular Data Protector backup scheduler to enable debugging. This allows for a more surgical approach to debugging so that debugs do not have to be turned on for all backups. If there is a specific backup job which is problematic, the schedule file can be edited so that if the problematic backup runs at an inconvenient time or is intermittent debugs will be generated. The basic syntax is as follows:

    -debug 1-200 sch.txt      <------------ Add debug statement

   -full

   -only 2010

       -day 14 -month Dec

       -at 22:00

This information is documented in the Data Protector Troubleshooting Guide

 

 

Library with 20 drives - 19 show up under the library but one shows as stand alone

This is a new DP 9.04 install.  During the initial installation, everything went great.  I spent a few days learning the software (NetBackup veteran) and then did a fresh install.  I am attaching a Word doc with screenshots from the GUI and the command line output.  Even though the stand alone drive shows up in the GUI, omnidownload -dev_info doesn't show the device.  I have tried deleting all of the devices, rebooted, and tried the autoconfigure again with no luck.  I'm stuck here because I don't want to create sessions and/or templates just to have to go back and update all of them when I get the 20th drive to come back home.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  If you can put it in NetBackup terms, that's an added bonus. :)

Thanks,
Randy

DP 9.03: Restoring from Media

$
0
0

I am running DP 9.03 with a HPUX 11.31 cell manager.  I have some old media that I need to restore.  However, I no longer have the media in my database.

I have imported the media, however, the object I need to restore shows as having a size of 0 KBytes (I am seeing this information under the Objects tab on the properties of the imported media).  I know the media was previously valid as it was used for restore when it still resided in the database.

I no longer have the backup session in my database to perform a restore from session.

Once upon a time, you could restore from media.  However, I do not see how this can be done now.  This was the "go to" method of restoring data whenever a search for an object was not available from the catalog.

Can anyone tell me how I can restore data from media that I no longer have the backup session available and does not appear in the catalog for search after an import?

Thanks
