Five Critical Decisions for Virtual Machine Backup and Recovery
@BackupMikko | 08 May 2013 | 0 comments

How far along are you on your virtualization journey? Most organizations already have more than half of their systems virtualized and are currently virtualizing their most business critical applications.

Now you are facing the challenge of keeping your ever-expanding virtual environment protected while providing the required service level for the business critical physical systems. Managing two separate isolated environments increases complexity and introduces potential for gaps in the data protection strategy if not carefully planned and implemented.

A poorly planned data protection strategy will not only increase risk to the data but will also consume more storage, restrict your recovery options and increase the time spent managing the environment. This is why it is important to understand the options and pitfalls when building a data protection strategy for virtual and mixed environments.

Automating Netbackup Installation without user intervention in 7.X  :

As we all know netbackup client installation can be performed using 

1) Install_client_files 

2 ) Or mounting the cdrom and performing installation using ./install .

                    The problem with above two methods is either we have to add client to policy or installation expects response constantly from user . I have a requirement to perform netbackup installation without user intervention .My requirement is to installation netbackup client software on 500 servers as part of baseline even before these are added any domain .  I have achieved this by editing "install" script code providing by netbackup .

    This helped in installing netbackup as part of base line along with OS .

NetBackup in VCS environment. Manual start without VCS
Gavrilov | 27 Mar 2013 | 0 comments

My last few cases were cluster related. It's funny, but some customers (and even engineers)  always forget how to manage NBU when it's under cluster control. They also believe that they can easily bring NBU up by same old start\stop scripts  during the cluster's problem. It wouldn't work out. As soon as we place NBU under Cluster  control it means that it's being controlled by cluster Agent. But Agent's functions aren't limited by start\stop\monitor routines.  Let's look at possible scenario. We've upgraded both nodes and want to perform a switchover to the another node for the check. It fails. What would we do? Everyone knows that first of all we need to understand why we can't start application in the cluster. Is it NBU's problem or is it cluster related issue? We can disable AutoFailover and switch NBU's service group to the problem node again. It'll stop in OFFLINE|FAULTED state on it. What's next?...

High Scalability with less complexity
robydv | 04 Mar 2013 | 0 comments
When selecting a backup solution for an enterprise environment performance and scalability are between the most important requirements.
 
I'd like to recall the two Kyle Blog entries about NetBackup scalability and why the NetBackup three-tiered approach is the winning one.
 
A backup software with its configuration catalog distributed on different hosts may have scalability issues due to the problem of keeping all this pieces of information up-to-date.
 
The other things to consider are:

Use The Java Administration Console (GUI) To Learn What Linux/Unix Commands Are Being Run Under The Covers
Ryan McCain | 14 Feb 2013 | 1 comment

When I began learning AIX, I relied heavily on the AIX system administration tool called SMIT (GUI) or SMITTY (menu based). One of the great things about SMIT is when you "point and clicked" to create a user account, configure NFS, etc., SMIT displays the actual Unix commands being executed on the bottom of the SMIT window. This is how I learned the basics of the Unix command line. Over time I was able to do all of my administration from the command line interface (CLI) and not have to rely on SMIT. Understanding what commands were actually being run opened the door for me to write scripts that automated routine tasks, tweaked system performance, etc. etc.

Fortunately, there is a similar feature in NetBackup 7.x.

In order to see the command line operations being run by the Java Admin GUI, perform the following actions:

1. On the system where you are running the Java Admin GUI (likely the master server) go to the java directory.
# cd /usr/...
