NB_CLT_7.5.0.4.tar missing a binary file?

$

I need a solution

I just did a fresh NBU 7.5 install for a Master server on RHEL 6.  I'm trying to patch the server to 7.5.0.4 but the tar file appears to be missing a binary file.

NB_CLT_7.5.0.4.tar from http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?pag... (3 split files)

I combine the 3 split files and run the tar command to extract the files.  I run NB_update.install script, but it kicks back an error message "ERROR: Missing required files in [current directory]: VrtsNB_7.5.0.4.preuninstall.  Viewing the contents of the tar file confirms that VrtsNB_7.5.0.4preuninstall does not exist in the tar.

Is this just a generic file that I could grab and use from a similar system/server's set of patch files?

Can't restore Evault data from client

$

I need a solution

Hi all,

We have an evault server that backups up with no issues. When I launch the java console and use the Backup / Restore function, I can see all the backup data no problem. When I log into the client, I get this error:

WARNING - SERVER <master_server> does not contain any backups for client <EVSERVER> using the specified policy type <Enterprise Vault> as requested by client <EVSERVER>

 

Now, one thing to point out is that the client name I'm using is the one reflected in Evault, and not the actual hostname of the machine.

Hostname: HOSTNAME

Evault Server: EVSERVER

When backups are launched, they are run using the EVSERVER name, and multiple child jobs are spawned which contain the HOSTNAME.  I bring this up because I have a feeling this could be the cause of the issue. However, like I mentioned, I can browse backups using the Java admin console.

If I configure the policies to backup using HOSTNAME the jobs fail.

Selective Catalog backup within 7.5

I need a solution

Hi again and thank you in advance for your assistance.

I have a HP-UX master running 7.5.0.6. The catalog backup is quite large and the client has not been keeping the production and matching DR servers sync'd as far as file system size. Upon arriving at the DR, the initial catalog restore failed due to not enough space. I tried to create more space, but unfortunately not enough. Is there a way to restore the catalog for only the clients I'm attempting to restore?

And, moving forward, is there a way to a catalog backup for only the clients that I wish to restore at the next DR?

 

Thanks again!

Credentials to ESX hosts, and restores

$

I need a solution

I have a question..

 

I was told at the customer forum that we should only have the credentials to vCenter Servers in the credentials section, otherwise the queries we run for an intelligent policy will query each individual ESX host as well.

Also, with both the ESX host and vCenter Server in the list, queries fail with the 69 error--I think because it is hitting each of the hostnames twice. (once when it scans the vCenter server, once when it scans the ESX host it's living on).

So, removing the credentials to each ESX server has corrected this problem. But--

My VMware admin has said that he cannot--or doesn't know a way to--restore a VM without the credentials set up in that section.

Are we missing something, or marching down the wrong path, or...?

Currently we have the hosts backed up in our VMware policy manually listed out, and we are trying to move to the intelligent policy type so we can utilize the resource limits. We are running NetBackup 7.6.0.3 on RHEL6 master/media servers.

 

Thanks in advance for your help--

Netbackup 7.5 recovering catalog and host properties

I need a solution

Hello all,

 

I have the following issue:

I needed to move my Netbackup 7.5 master server installation Windows 2003 32bit to a new hardware with Windows 2008R2 64 bits. I recovered the catalog after install Netbackup 7.5 in the new server.

After recovering the catalog, all is woking properly except the previously configured attributes in the Master Server host properties (such as "additional servers", "clean-up logs", VMware host, etc).

Access Control is not configured (in the original server)

Is any way to recover the catalog and maintain this attributes? Is it a normal behaviour recovering the catalog?

 

thanks in advance and best regards

I need a solution

Hi All,

We have migrated some servers from 2003 OS to 2008 OS

The server in 2003 OS is backup using master server with NBU version 7.1.0.4 and client NBU version is same as well.

After migrating to 2008 OS we backup using NBU 7.6.0.3 master server with client NBU version upgraded to NBU 7.5.0.6

Now when I browse for images on client using 7.1.0.4 master server on client it says invalid request.

However I am able to restore images from master server but cant browse them from client BAR console.

Kindly advice.
