Selecting Multiple Directories
So I have a volume with thousands of (user) directories at the root. In a backup job, I would like to select a group (several hundred) and do this for each stream I'm creating. However, I don't want to sit here and click a check box several hundred times. I can't seem to find a way in the gui to select multiple folders at least in the traditional sense of holding down shift like in Windows Explorer.
Any ideas? I inherited this system, so farily new to DP.

Hi Fred,
Have not found a solution as yet or been able to raise a case. Interesting that you've uncovered the same issue with D2D VTL!!
Are you able to raise a case?

Re: HP Data Protector
what sort of ultrium drive is this? Is it a standalone drive, an autoloader, library? model number?

Re: HP Data Protector
it looks like this is a physical tape drive connected to your host by SCSI. If so then this is classed as a standalone drive in DP therefore it wont have robotics as this is a library function.
Also in device manager you will see a "media changer" if it was a library with robotics.
You have configured this correctly in DP so can be used. Manual tape loads required....

Data Protector - "Waiting for device objects"
Hi,
Just an informational question more than anything else ... When I'm monitoring an object replication task from a StoreOnce device to a software VSA unit within DP I see "waiting for device objects". My understanding is that this is due to DP waiting for locks to be obtained on the media which is storing the objects for replication. However no other DP tasks are running and the message still appears - the objects being used are not locked by any other process and the job continues to replicate fine ....
I guess this may be more cosmetic than anything else but I'm intrigued as to why I see this.
DP 9.08
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Simon.

Re: Selecting Multiple Directories
AFAIK, the GUI is not your friend for your situation.
But since the job specification is plain text, you might want to go on an adventure and edit the job specification directly. Simply create a new job in which you selected only one or two directories, look what the format of the job specfication is, and scriptwise or copy-paste-wise add your remaining directories. Recheck in the GUI.
Job specification for "normal" backups (i.e. not VMware, Exchange etc) are in a directory called "datalists".
One more hint: what will you do when an extra user is created? He'll get a user directory and you want that directory to be backed up automatically. But here is the catch: it does not get automatically backed up, since you told Data Protector exactly which files/directories you wanted. Solution/workaround: create an extra backup in which you exclude all currently known directories. If a directory is added, Data Protector does not have it in its list of excluded directories, hence it'll make it into the backup :-).

Invalid block sequence number when doing an Object Copy
Good morning Guru's
Can anyone assist with something that has only just started happening to my monthly Object Copies from VTL to Physical Tape?
Some of my jobs are failing with the error : -
[Normal] From: RMA@server.domain "_VTL1_Drv11" Time: 01/03/2017 22:32:24
=> UMA@server.domain@Changer2:0:27:0

[Normal] From: RMA@******.********** "*********_VTL1_Drv11" Time: 01/03/2017 22:32:35
Ejecting medium '2747'.
This has happened for all the tapes on the VTL (that it was loading at the time) and then the Object Copy fails. I have run "Verify" on the media the session says have an invalid block size, but the verication comes back clean. Im running on V9.07 DP and have been running with version for over 6 months with no issues until now.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Many thanks

Re: Invalid block sequence number when doing an Object Copy
Hello,
is the tape encrypted? I remember issues with encrytion and object copies....
Ask HP for DP0907_b109_QCCR2A69192_HF1_win.......

Re: Invalid block sequence number when doing an Object Copy
Hi Mathlas
Thank you for the reply. I have enabled "Encryption" on the Physical drives recently and didn't put 2 a 2 together. :) I'll look at downloading/requesting the fix you mention and see if that fixes the issue.
I'll let you know how I get on.
Many Thanks

Re: Selecting Multiple Directories
AH ha! Perfect! I wasn't sure if those backup jobs were in the DB. Did a search and found them under ProgramData\OmniBack\Config\Server.
You saved me a ton of time, thank you very much!

Re: Selecting Multiple Directories
Ok, so job is configured now. Question regarding the exclusion job. Do I simply just select the root of the directory and in the exclusions put /*.*? Not sure if I'm doing this part right.

Linux Media Agent Drives Renumber After a Reboot
Hi All,
We have a Linux box acting as a media agent (RHEL 6.8) and we have two separate VTLs with drives zoned to it. There are 32 drives in all (16 per VTL). We are using the lin_tape driver and the device files show up as /dev/IBMtape0 for lun 0, /dev/IBMtape1 for lun 1, and so on.
The device files for Library #1 were 0-15, and 16-31 for Library #2. After a reboot they flip-flopped. So now where /dev/IBMtape0 was Drive #1 on Library #1 it is now Drive #1 on Library #2. (Also, /dev/IBMtape16 is now Drive #1 on Library #1).
I have gone into the GUI and renumbered them in the Devices section so at least my backups will run for now. But, what is it that caused this to happen and can I expect it to happen again if I have to reboot? Is there a setting somewhere to fix this?
Thanks.

Re: Selecting Multiple Directories
Tempting approach, but I think it would fail miserably. Excluding with wildcards would proably excluded everything. But instead, you want to exclude only the directories that are actually in the other backup jobs. So, you will want to go for explicit excludes.
I think you can get away with some copy-pasting from the explicit includes to explicit excludes.
Manual distribution is error prone. I hope you will do some testintg and restoring.

Re: Linux Media Agent Drives Renumber After a Reboot
I think this is more a Linux question than a Data Protector question.
My guess is that the SAN tape/disk discovery does not even try to give you persistent drive names. So, it depends on which tape/disk is discovered first/second/etc, which is a game of chance.
Try Googling on udev and persistence. udev rules are in /etc/udev/rules.d/. You will have a file called 70-persistent-net.rules. That file arranges that your network interface cards will be named according to their MAC, not there PCI-order or whatever order.
My Google Foo leads me search on "udev IBMtape" and finding this link:
