Re: HPE MSL4048 connecting to a Windows VM cell manager
this topic has always been an issue. Whilst you may be able to see the drives, you will find that HP are unlikely to support it.
The robotics normally daisy chains off one of the drives. Check the library configuration.
I would recommend you setup a dedicated physical media server

Re: DP 9.04 - all media marked non resident on backup-to-disk device
The only way to bring all my media back online was the use of omnidownload & omniupload:
1. omnidownload -library DataDomain01 -file DataDomain01
2. add the non-resident offline media (files on DataDomain) to the file DataDomain01
3. omniupload -modify_library DataDomain01 -file DataDomain01
4. "new" found media is marked unknown and must be rescaned

Re: Inadvertantly not enabled disk-based encryption for months - what options do I have?
Hi Harry,
Im not sure much with your request but if you want you can make 1 key for all mediums with changing following global options,
EnableCommonKeyEntity = 1
KeyEntity = any name you want

Re: IDB service not running
A little more detail will be very useful here to look into the issue like DP version with patch version, OS version, error getting while trying to run services, any specific services not running or all services are down?
Thanks,

HPE Data Protector 9.05 VM Backup hang after Completion
Hello Community,
we have the issue that our VM Backup via DP 9.05 won´t complete.
After backing up all virtual machines, we have a "complete media Agent" message but the session never ends.
The vepa_bar.exe prosess in taskbar is still running, after manuelly kill the vepa_bar.exe process, the session ends with "Completed/Failures".
Until now, i have no idea to solve the issue in the fastest way .
On the vCenter Server DP Patch DPWIN_00841 (Virtual Environment Integration) is installed.
Maybe you have some ideas (except upgrading to DP 9.06 or higher ;) )
Best Regards,
Markus

Re: Cannot read from device (Invalid medium data format.) DP 9.08
Hello
Please provide details missing like AIX version, drive model\version, debug.log file from AIX server will be fine.
Seems to be that drive is not able to use encryption feature using AIX server as media agent nad could be related to any unsuspported version.
Best Regards

Re: HPE Data Protector 9.05 VM Backup hang after Completion
Hello
HPE support is working in similar cases along Vmware support, some API calls remain running even after media completed message keeping sessions active. Please follow action plan below.
1º Keep in mind that those backups are 100% fine for restore purpose.
2º Open support case and provide debugs for be able determine if you are suffering the same or different issue.
Best Regards

Prerequisites (page 423 out of 837)
l An instance of Oracle must be created on the system to which you want to restore or duplicate the database.
l The database must be in the Mount state if the whole database is being restored, or in the NoMount state if the control file is being restored or a database duplication is performed.
l You must be able to connect to the database.
Answer: Instance must be initialized/created with something before performing restore

problem backing up clustered disk
I have an old server 2003 cluster which i need to backup a clustered drive. For some reason the backups are running but dying during the night, and the only thing i can think of is when i look resources, that the drive is mounted to say lets say server 2, and the clustered IP is on server 1.
When i look at the disk on the 3par, i can see all the read hits on server 1, so i'm wondering if its trying to read the data through server to a disk mounted on server 2.
So i thought as a test i would create a backup to just backup up this drive through server 2, but when i look at DP all i can see is C: and configuration, i have logged on the server and i can see the drive X: but i guess because DP sees it in the cluster backup i can't just select as a drive on server itself.
Anyway of being able to backup up directly through server 2 without using the cluster name? that way forcing the backup through server 2.

Getting the "Backup ID" from the Session Details of a FS or Group Replication
Hello,
i work on a script that checks if all object are successfully replicated in a replication job.
If i check the details of a replication session via omnidb:
omnidb -session $REPSESSIONID -detail
I get a outplut like:
Object name : testserver.local:/ '/usr/share'
Object type : FileSystem
Object status : Completed
Started : Mon 27 Mar 2017 11:00:05 PM CEST
Finished : Mon 27 Mar 2017 11:01:05 PM CEST
Object size : 30040 KB
Backup type : Incremental1
Protection : Protected for 13 days
Catalog retention : Same as data protection.
Version type : Normal
Access : Private
Number of warnings : 0
Number of errors : 0
Device name : DC1_CAT20_REP_dptest
Backup ID : n/a
Copy ID : 5F2B0121-4F2B-481D-B79F-2DC827B85093/12326773 (Copy)
Encrypted : No
DiskAgent ID : 1490648403For oracle Backups, the "Backup ID" is given, but for FS or Group-Backups, the "Backup ID" is "n/a".
How can i get a list of Backup-IDs used in the Replication or can i lookup the Backup-ID via the "Copy ID" somehow (i would prefer this method anyway but can't find a usable command) ?
In the next step i list all Objects from the Replication and from the Backup and make a diff to check if anything is missing, this works fine for Oracle but as i said, i have no clue how the get the Backup ID for FS or Group.
Kind Regards

Re: problem backing up clustered disk
the clustered drive should only be visible via DP through the clustered IP/host. This is normal behaviour when the clustered clients are using the cluster aware DP agents.
It might be that the host (server 2) did access the drive but it wont attempt to back it up
only way to backup via server 2 is to reinstall the agent as non cluster aware...
↧
Re: problem backing up clustered disk
I kind of thought that, but i also have clustered drives, which are small and backing up fine, so i can't take the clustered back up off.
Is there a way i can run both?
↧
Re: problem backing up clustered disk
unfortunately you cant do both as the agent is cluster aware. The registry is flagged to be clustered.
If you automated an regedit to alter the cluster flag to ZERO this might work.....but not supported!
↧
Re: problem backing up clustered disk
have you ever tried changing that registry file? As you say its not supported, just curious if that actually works, as they maybe an option.

Re: problem backing up clustered disk
I havent tried changing on the fly but its worth a try..... see how the agent behaves..... then put it back afterwards

Re: HP Data Protector 9 : How to remove specific session to get free space of that session in Tape?
Hello,
you cannot free up space at the beginning of a tape if other sessions are behind the first session. You can only add session after the last session. You can only overwrite the whole tape after all sessions have been expired. You can remove the protection of one session. But you cannot use this unprotected space.
