Re: Problems after upgrade to DP 8

I checked lab cases, and, while I didn't find anything specific for DP 8, I found several cases of an almost identical error from earlier versions of Data Protector.  There is some problem with a function call (DbgFcnOut ), and, in the previous version, they were fixed with Cell Server and Disk Agent patches

 

I think that you should have the latest SSP (Site-Specific Patch) installed, which fixed a number of problems with DP 8.0

 

              SSPLNX800_002

 

While I don't see any sign of this SSP fixing your particular problem, not all problems fixed are always included in the patch description, so, it might help.  You would probably need to install this SSP anyway at some point in time.

 

I wish you had sent the entire error message, specifically, the time stamp of this

 

Received ABORT request from SM => aborting

 

so, I could see if it lines up with what is in the debug.log file. Normally, this message represents a Network disconnect, and I would advise that you turn on the Option to 'Reconnect Broken Connections'  by going to the Options tab and clicking on the Advanced button next to Backup Specification Options, and, perhaps, turning the network load down to Medium.  I don't know if what is in the debug.log is releated to the error message during the session.

 

So, at this point, I don't know if you are looking at one problem or two

 

Please open a case with the response center.  Ask them to put a copy of SSPLNX800_002 on a FTP site for you.  Installation of a SSP just involving replacing files, make sure that you rename, not delete, the originals

 

If this doesn't help, they will ask you to run debugs, and I specifically suggest that INET debugs be included.  I would advise you to clear the debug.log file first before running any debugs

 

Re: DP v7.0 - How to manually select Oracle DB Integration copy to restore

From the Oracle Integration Guide:

 

Restore until

The options in this drop-down list allow you to limit the selection to those backups that are

suitable for an incomplete recovery to the specified time.

 

Now

Use this option to restore the most recent full backup. By default, this option is selected.

Selected time

Use this option to specify an exact time to which you wish the database to be restored.

Data Protector restores the backup that can be used in recovery to the specified time.

Not much found on this.  From the Oracle/SAP integration Guide

 

Oracle operating system that is added to the following user groups:

     - Operating system user account Oracle operating system that is added to the following user groups:

        ORA_DBA and ORA_SID_DBA local groups

 

     -Oracle database user Database user account granted at least the following Oracle roles:

          sysdba

           sysoper

 

See if you can connect to the Oracle SID using 'sqlplus' the same way Data Protector would

 

sqlplus nolog

connect username/password@SERVICE as sysdba

connect username/password@SERVICE as sysoper

 

If you are unable to connect, this is not a Data Protector issue, and you need to have a discussion with your DBA

Thanks Bob, I understand on needing to correlate the times. I'll get a better post up for that.

I have had the Reconnect Broken Connections option enabled for years.

I will open a case to get that patch.

Is there a resource on using TapeAnalyser?  I have > 100 tapes with this issue.  Would it be better to open a ticket?

 

Thanks!

Re: Error reading tapes that were formatted 1024k

Tape Analyser is a utility that must be run from the command line of the Media agent that controls the drive

 

You must manually load a tape into the drive (without knowing the Drive Index number, I can't tell you which drive).  From the MS-DOS prompt on the media agent

 

         cd \Program Files\Omniback\bin

         TapeAnalyser -device [scsi path to drive] -summary

 

For example

 

       TapeAnalyser -device scsi4:0:1:0  -summary

 

 -summary                   : Gives a tape format summary

 

After changing to that directory, if you run the command:

 

           TapeAnalyser -help

 

you will get a synopsis of all the arguments you can use

Hi team ,

 

I am trying to restore Production DB to Test db ( Oracle 11g & LINUX as OS)

 

When selecting PROD DB & TEST server as client , i am getting below error.

 

Any idea. Pls help its urgent

 

 

Binary util_orarest is missing. Cannot get information from the remote host. 
 
ACTION : 

 Set the environment variable OB2_ORARESTHOSTNAME=<target_host> to specify different target hostname, 
where you want to restore your database. In the ZDB case this must be the application host. 

 After setting the variable, restart Data Protector GUI. 
Pls suggest where to change this parameter. 

 

 


Retval 8010, DP 8, and Exchange 2013 integration

Our friend RETVAL 8010 is showing up when I try to configure a backup job on DP 8 for Exchange 2013 integration.  Fortunately, right now this is in my test lab, but I'm going to need a solution for Exchange 2013 in a month or so.

 

Is this a known issue (read: an easy fix)?

 

Thanks

Ken

This is what I get from the debug log on the Exchange 2013 client when I try to set up the job:

 

11/25/2013 3:51:07 PM  INET_thread_e2010_bar.exe.80872.82176 ["/lib/cmn/win32exe.c $Rev: 35470 $ $Date:: 2013-01-14 17:58:40":255] A.08.00 b596
Process PID:82968 exited with exception: 0xC0000142!

 

And nothing in the debug log of the cell manager.  Now, granted, this is basic debugging - nothing advanced.

In the Oracle Integration Guide, in the Troubleshooting section:

 

Problem

“Binary util_orarest is missing” error is displayed when browsing Oracle restore sessions

 

The following error message is displayed when browsing Oracle database for restore sessions in

the Data Protector GUI Restore context:

 

Binary util_orarest is missing. Cannot get information from the remote host.

The problem can appear in the following cases:

When restoring database items to a new host.

When restoring 64-bit Oracle version 10.2.0.4 in the RAC environment, on HP-UX 11.23

PA-RISC systems. If util_orarest is present on the system, this error can mean that the

util_orarest agent ends abnormally while trying to load the 32-bit OCI library from the

ORACLE_HOME/lib32 directory.

 

Actions

When restoring database items to a new host, resolve the problem as follows:

1. Close Data Protector.

2. Set the environment variable on the system where the Cell Manager resides:

OB2_ORARESTHOSTNAME =target_Oracle_host

3. Restart Data Protector and try to restore the database items again.

4. When the restore is complete, close Data Protector and re-set the following environment

variable:

OB2_ORARESTHOSTNAME =empty

5. Restart Data Protector

According to Microsoft, exception 0xC0000142 (STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED) means that initialization of the  dynamic link library failed. It looks like some of dll's linked to e2010_bar are missing or not correctly registered.

 

1) In Windows 2012 environment .net framework 3.5 is not installed by default,  so please install it manually through ServerManager on all windows 2012 machines and after that try again to configure Exchange  integration. If configuration fails again, proceed with following steps.

 
2) Start command prompt at client testlabex04 (if possible also try on other machines), execute following commands and send us  output:
    
"C:\Program Files\OmniBack\bin\e2010_bar.exe" -v
"C:\Program Files\OmniBack\bin\e2010_bar.exe" -chkconf
"C:\Program Files\OmniBack\bin\e2010_bar.exe" -getexchversion
 
3) If you receive error as expected in step 1, try to reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 and 2010 runtime (download:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2019667) and after that try again commands from previous step, and if they are working, try again  to configure Exchange integration
 
This case is still an open issue, no clear solution yet

All of the above AND a persistent route from the Cell to the firewall did it!

Hi Eblyn are these IDB maintenance steps also okay to run on DP version 8?

You can try installing the client 'hrxpflexi.nbs.int' locally, from the Installation media, and importing it. 

 

I found that this can also be caused by the presense of a firewall

While trying to install DP 6.1 remotely on a Windows 2008 Core client the following error message is received :

[Normal] Installing the Data Protector bootstrap service on client w2k8core32st.domain.com

[Normal] Starting installation on client x.x.x.x at יום שלישי 11 אוגוסט 2009, 13:07:22...

[Critical] [110:1025] Cannot connect the Data Protector bootstrap service on client x.x.x.x:

IPC Cannot Connect

System error: [10060] Connection timed out

 

 

Cause

 

Firewall was not disabled.

 

Workaround / Fix

Disable the Firewall on the Windows 2008 Core server with the following command:

netsh firewall set opmode mode=disable

 

or a breakdown in communications

Trying to update a Windows XP-client after patching the Installation Server ends unsuccessfully with:
[Normal]  Starting remote installation on client datev at Dienstag, 25. Mai 2004 13:32:09...
[Critical]  Cannot connect the Data Protector bootstrap service on the remote client:         IPC Cannot Connect         System error: [10060] Connection timed out.

Response

In this case, it was found that the department had actually taken the client offline and replaced it without informing the admin, resulting in a Data Protector cell still having this client available, despite the client not being online anymore.

DP 8 has a 'autovacuum' feature which makes it un-necessary to do the 'writedb/readdb' any more.  As a matter of fact, I looked at the command-line arguments for 'omnidbutil' and neither 'writedb' nor 'readdb' are options any more

 

-autovacuum

Recovers or reuses disk space occupied by updated or deleted rows. The vacuum operation

(periodic maintenance) is done automatically.

 

There are a number of options for this that I am not going to post here, but you can read in the CLI (Command Line Interpreter) guide
