Netbackup BMR restore task queued
Hello,
another episode in my struggle to get BMR working for P2V restores....
i create a PTR and start off the restore process from an iso file.
the restore job completes successfully for the C:\ drive but then it does not kick off the next step of the process (system state restore).
the restore task in BMR just sits there queued all the time....
any ideas why it's not set to active when the restore process starts?
thanks,

decommison of Netbackup SAN BASED Media server.
Hi I need to decommison a san based media. I intend on using nbdecommison command. however I need to hold on to the data for restore purposes should the server be bought back online in the next 2 months.
The server will online while the decomm process takes place.
Step 1. run nbdecommission -list_ref -oldserver hostname
Give me the a detailed output
Step 2. run nbdecommission -oldserver hostname [-newserver hostname]
Can I use a normal ie Lan based media server to take ownership of the media.
In the event of a restore I should use the old san based nedia server name in BAR gui to restore back to.
I will have to proof the restore process before the after decommison process from Netbackup.
Please provide opinons on the solution.
Regards

Backup oracle failed on client ... HELP HELP ...
There is two server in my test environment, one is a real server with NetBackup Master & Media Server installed, another is a VM with NetBackup client.
My purpose is to test backup of Oracle DB on client in two ways:
a) Create script or specify backup path on Master server and run it with policy on master server;
b) Backup from client, Files or DB backups should be automanticly backed up to specified path on the Master Server.
Then I come to the problems:
1. I can do file backup with both method a and method b;
2. I can do Oracle backup only method a, but the backups of Oracle only locate on client, nothing on Master Server;
3. When I do Backup of Oracle on client, there is nothing in task progress list, and I checkout the logs under bpdbsora, there is always see the belowing ...

Client deleted from environment still shows in bppllist
Hi All,
Need some help!
Deleted one client from the envrionment but intrestingly it still shows in the commands.
Master/Media -> NBU 7.1 on ws 2008 r2
Client also on ws2008
Tried below steps so far
bpcoverage -c <client_name> gives the policy name with all the client name but deleted client is not in there
>bppllist XXXX -byclient XXXXX again shows the list but client is not there
This policy has got > 200 clients.
bppllist -byclient <client name> -U it again pulls the policy details with all the clients but that client is not listed
bpclient -client XXXX -delete
bpclient: no entity was found (227)
checked the client attributes in master server properties- not there
nbemmcmd -deletehost -machinename XXXX -machinetype
client
NBEMMCMD, Version:7.1
The function returned the following failure status:
invalid host name (136)
Command did not complete successfully.
bpclient -client XXXX -L
bpclient: no entity was found (227)
Took the nbsu and searched for the server name and it has got the entries in below files but those seems to be normal as it doesn't show it to be in EMM.
OS_tasklist
OS_event_application
NBU_tree
NBU_jobs
NBU_dirs
No entries in EMM or anywhere as per NBSU.
Alredy tried restarting the netbackup services on master couple of times but no go
If you need any logs I can PM.
Adding a 7.5 client to 6.5 master.
Hi all,
I have a situation where client is demanding me to add netbackup 7.5 client to a master server with netbackup 6.5 version. At first I denied him that we can not add higher version client to a lower master server. I asked him to downgrade the client version. But he is not ready to do it. Is there any alternate way to overcome this.
Recover a Virtual DC using the MS-Windows Policy
Hi!
We have virtual (VMWare) Windows Server 2008 r2 Domain Controllers which are backed up using NBU 7.5 MS-Windows Policy as recommended. I wonder what the best practice of restoring the entire Server is? I have done a System State restore and flat files but what is the procedure to recover the whole server? I think it is to have a template VM with the same OS/SP/Patch Level as the VM DC that is to be recovered - install the NBU Agent on it and then recover using the standard procedure? I can't seem to find (or don't have access to!) any documentation on this subject.
thanks in advance!

Incorrect Media
Hi All.
I have been getting this error for some time now.
After we removed our robot and drive (gave some problems) I re added them and then started to get this weird error.
I have read thru some forms but nothing that is the same.
“incorrect Media Found in drive 0, expected 0632L2 found 000632, freezing 0632L2”
I have made sure that when I do an Inventory that my barcode and id length is the same 6 and 1:2:3:4:5:6
Yet there is other tapes with the same barcodes (deviant id’s E.G. 0327L2) that works fine. (in the same pool and robot)
Can someone please point me in a direction that i can resolve this problem.

status code 37: advanced disk backup failed,Operation requested by an invalid server
Hi ,
I installed a media server to backup oracle database. Nbu version is 7.5.0.6. OS is AIX 6.1.
I have tested tapebased backup, successed.
When I trying to use advanced disk based backup, status code 37 occured:Operation requested by an invalid server.
bp.conf file is correct.
It seems that media server is configured correct, but something wrong with storage server or disk pool.
But I didn't get any error when I create storage server, disk pool and STU.
PLZ help me solve this problem. THX!

Regarding Incremental Backups
Hello All,
Just wanted to understand, if I take a full backup and then then lets say there are no backups for a period of time and the full backup gets expired. If I take an incremental backup now, will it backup everything or only the changes that were made after the full backup ( * The full backup has now expired from NBU catalog now).
Will NBU backup only the changed files based on the archive bit ?
How to use Media Host Override
Hi,
We're on NB7.5.0.3, mixed Unix and Windows, master server is a Win2008 server, storage is Data Domain.
We're testing restores of an Oracle database using RMAN. They're kind of working ok but the media server chosen for the jobs seems completely random - can be one on the local site or on the remote site. So we need to restrict which media servers are used.
The obvious solution seems to be to add entries to the Media Host Override option. The restores were performed by one or the other of two media servers on that site (which media servers are used for the backup is controlled via the Storage Unit), so i was planning to add entries so that each on is used to restore any job they were the original backup media server for, which would look like this:
ORIGINAL BACKUP SERVER RESTORE SERVER
server1 server1
server2 server2
A few questions:
1) I've noticed that the Master and all the media servers have a "media host override" dialog box int he windows Admin Console. Does it make any difference which is used - does the setting take effect globally? As the host that was backed up is also a media server, I was wondering if the media host override settings for that media server might only apply to restores of that server? Or are the media host override settings global wherever they are set?
2) Can ANY DD Bosst enabled media server be picked for a restore if this is not controlled by media host override? Even the master server was picked for one part of the restore.
3) Can media servers restore from a storage unit even if they are not assigned to that storage unit as an available media server? It seems like any DD boost server can read any storage unit when it comes to restores...
Thanks!
The question of MSEO Encryption and decryption
Hi all,
I have a problem about the MSEO(media server encryption option).
backup environment like below:
DC SITE(MAST BACKUP SITE)
Master server: SHAA2SNBU38
Media server: SHAA2SNBU38
first backup data to DD640,then vault to tape in i500.
DR SITE(DISASTER RECOVERY SITE)
Master server: SHAA2SNBU38(the same DC site master server)
Media server: SHAA5SNBU61
backup type like DC SITE
Now i have problem:
Vault to tape is through encryption by mseo(media server of SHAA2SNBU38).Then i take the tape to DR site and recovery the tape from media server(SHAA5SNBU61) successfully.But the site of DR(SHAA5SNBU61) is out of mseo agent. why it does sucessfully?
additional query:Recovery data what backup through MSEO must need media server installing MSEO agent?
Oracle RMAN backup is taking too long to initiate child sessions
Hi ,
we have been using Netbackup 7.5.0.6 as master server and oracle RMAN backup for one of the DB's is taking too long to initiate the child sessions. One hour interval is between the child sessions. I can see the data being pumped at 31 mbps to the media server which is supposed to be good speed when the child sessions get initiated in parallel.But , As child sessions are too long to initiate , its been a big concern for us on the time to backup the data.
Shared Robot Control Host
Hi,
I'm performing some resilience testing on a new netbackup environment and would like some advice please.
Environment consists of 1 Virtual Master + 4 Physical Media servers split across 2 datacentres ( 2 in each dc)
All are Windows 2008R2 enterprise, and NBU is 7.5.0.6
We have the Shared Storage Option.
Each datacentre has one Eternus LT60 library with 4 LT05 drives and each library and its drives are FC zoned to the media servers in the same dc.
When I configured the storage each robot was assigned a Robot Control Host which is (obviously) one of the media servers its zoned to.
Each media server has a tape storage unit and i''ve created a storage unit group for each dc consisting of the two media servers tape storage units that are in that dc
The test I'm trying to perform is to ensure that in the event of a media server failure we can still run backups in that dc by using the other media server.
The problem is that if i close the media server that is the Robot Control Host and try and run test backups the backup just queues with 'Media server is currently not connected to master server' - i was hoping it would just exclusively use the remaining media server.
I've read this post https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/how-move-robotic-controller-host
..and i attempted to change the Robot control Host to the remaining media server which failed as the existing Robot Control Host was unavailable.
..is my only option in the event this 'really' happens to delete the robot and drives and reconfigure storage units and robot to switch control to the remaining media server ?
thanks
