Re: HP DATA PROTECTOR

you cannot import the DP6.11 IDB into v9 as the database architecture is totally different.

I'm assuming you have 2 DP cells. One on 6.11 and one on 9 ? yes?

The two possible ways forward are:

  1. MCF export all media from v6 cell, copy files to v9 cell and perform MCF import
  2. upgrade the 6.11 cell to v9, then omnidbutil writedb the db, copy data to other v9 cell and omnidbutil readdb that in...

hope that helps!

Hello

FIrdtly let me advise you about DP 7.03 is totally out of support, about your issue no idea about how did you do IDB migration but somethinf was wrong.

Before mopve db40 folder you must to be sure that was in giid state and IDB services stopped. I guess that best option is move IDB again from olde server following those steps before move it.

  1. omnisv stop

  2. Copy the following directories:
    C:\program files\omniback\db40
    C:\program files\omniback\config
    or
    /var/opt/omni/server/db40
    /etc/opt/omni
    (the best practice is to have a recently good IDB backup)

  3. omnisv start

  4. omnidb -strip

  5. omnidbutil -purge -filenames -force
    (the user could wait some time before the next step)

  6. omnidbutil -purge -dcbf

  7. Create an empty directory, /test/mmdb and /test/cdb

  8. Execute: omnidbutil -writedb -mmdb /test/mmdb -cdb /test/cdb

  9. Execute: omnidbutil -readdb -mmdb /test/mmdb -cdb /test/cdb

  10. omnidbutil -cdbsync <Cell_server_Hostname>

  11. omnidbutil -fixmpos
  12. Stop DP services
  13. Move db40 to new server using the same paths than in older serv

Best Regards

Data Protector v9 migration

just need to clarify.... I have a physical DP cell manager running 9.06 and I want to move this to a new Virtual machine.

I'm assuming this process....

  1. Build VM with v9.06
  2. On physical server perform a "omnidbutil -writedb"
  3. copy data over to the new VM.... including DCBF and SMBF
  4. perform "omnidbutil -readdb"
  5. copy in DCBF and SMBF data...
  6. upgrade to v9.08

seems like a plan....

also in the tmp dir there might be a dbcheck.lk file. If so remove that and IDB should be fine

DP 9.08 does not honour gateway policy for object copies -still uses gatways for source object copy

$

Hi,

We do object copies out of catalyst stores to tapes for offsite backups. Our object copies are now taking a long time, as they are using the original gateways to pull the data out of the StoreOnce and write it to tape.

However for each of the gateways, in the policy tab we have unticked the box that says:

"Gateway may be used as source gateway for object copy"

and yet we can see that the gateways are being used to read from the StoreOnce Catalyst store.

So data protector seems to be ignoring the setting.

How can we fix this?

Buen dia,

Tengo programada una tarea de backup en data dataprotector, el archivo full que se respalda tiene una capidad de 2.2 TB Aprox. la libreria soporta cintas LTO6 y despues de ser formateadas toma un tamaño aprox de 3.5 TB, pero el backup toma un promedio de 3 cintas, validando el tamaño de las cintas veo que una solo asigna un tamaño de 66 GB, la otra un tamaño de 22 GB y la tarcera de 1.6 TB.

 

 


Data Protector 9.07 Digital signiature problems

$

Hi all .  We've recently installed HP DP 9.07 installation server onto a Windows 2012 R2 system.  The installation completed fine, and this has been imported succesfully into the Cell (RHEL).  When we try deploying any components via the installation server (using the DP GUI), we get the error shown below.  We also get the same error when trying to run an upgrade against the installation server (as a test).  When we run the check against the installed software, this completes OK.

Error:

Digital signiature verification of the install kit failed necessary trusted root certification authorities and intermediate certification authorities.

We haven't been able to find anything specific to Data Protector for this issue although have checked the 'certificate propogation' service is running - this was mentioned on another certificate issue found on the web.

Any help appreciated!

 

BSM crashes after DP9.08 update

Hello.

We have a Cell Manager in Windows 2012 Std. machine with Data Protector 9.08.

The problem is that after the upgrade from 9.07 to 9.08, the bsm.exe keeps crashing in various times during the day. As a result many of the scheduled backups don't even start. We didn't have that problem before the upgrade.

As a workaround, we have a windows schedule that restarts the DP services 3 times a day, right before the most significant backups, but that is NOT a solution.

We had the same problem some years ago after the upgrade of another CM to version 6.20 and we solved it with a specific fix from HP. Is there a similar fix for 9.08??

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

We have a couple of tapes that have been marked as Fair and I can't work out why.

The Condition policy of the pool is Valid for 36 months.  They were formatted July 2014.

Maximum overwrites 250, they are on 13.

Any ideas?

Re: (DP) Support Tip: HyperV backup leaving snapshots

Hello Sandro

We are looking to implement incremental backups for VM's in our HyperV environment in DP v9.07 and are seeing the same issue. (snapshots that we are unable to remove) Do you know if there are any patches (DP) that may have resolved/enhanced this rather than running Powershell scripts? Our HyperV admins aren't happy about this and believe it's only DP that causes this issue? Does it happen in VEEAM, Backup Exec??? I'd really like to implement Inc backups as they are very time consuming every night as a Full. The admins won't let me implement it :) :)

Many thanks for any assistance.

I am seeing a similiar issue when I attempt to upgrade my older windows host DP clients from 9.07 to 9.08. Newer windows (2012, etc.) upgrade just fine. Windows installation server is on version 2012 with DP 9.08. The cell manager is RHEL 6 w/9.08. Here is what I get on older windows hosts when I try to upgrade them to 9.08 from 9.07, seems to be all older win2003, and win2008. I've been running on 9.07 for months now without issue.

[Critical] <HOSTNAME> [70:32] Digital Signature verification of the install kit failed.

[Critical] <HOSTNAME> Cannot start setup process from the Data Protector share on
your Installation Server, system error:
[87] The parameter is incorrect.
(System error should give description of the problem.)

In general:
* Make sure that Data Protector share on your Installation Server is visible on the network
(in MS-DOS prompt on client type: dir \\<IS_COMPUTER_NAME>\OmniBack)
* Make sure that Data Protector Inet process is not running under a user account, which does
not have access to the Data Protector share on the Installation Server computer
(usually this is local account)

DP 9.07 Copy Job never completes (hangs) after copying all objects.

$

We are using DP 9.07 on HP-UX 11.31 CM and HPE StoreOnce 5100 appliances.  We are seeing an issue with some of our copy jobs (post backup, replication enabled, 5100 to 5100), in which the copy job will completely copy all data, but then halt without any error and never complete.

Has anyone else encountered this behavior before?  It seems that if we abort and manually re-run the copy job it will eventually complete successfully.

Thanks in advance,

Brian

Licenses (if I recall) are tied to the hostname (or IP), you may need new license keys assuming that is going to change.

Also there may be other steps to ensure that you get your (text file) specs transfered, etc. And then also, you'd need to worry about export/import of clients and unsecure/resecure, etc.
