Emc Legato networker MMINFO usefull TIPS

2011-05-28T11:07:00.002+05:30

Here some of use full combinations of mminfo

Generally mminfo resides in /usr/sbin in unix, c:\programfiles\legato\nsr\bin in windows .

To query a client backup info for past 120 Hours:
/usr/sbin/mminfo -avot -c axx.domain.com -t "-120 hours"

some times we can use grep effectively with networker command :
for example above command we can use in alternative way:

/usr/sbin/mminfo -avot -t "-120 hours" | grep -i axx.domain.com

To Query a client backup info with ssid , size of saveset, tape info
mminfo -q "client= axx.domain.com" -r "ssid,name,totalsize,savetime,volume" -t '60 hours ago'

Basic Trouble shooting in EMC Legato Networker

2011-05-28T10:55:00.004+05:30

If a client backup failed in EMC legato networker these setups helps you.

# /usr/sbin/ping xxx.abc.com
xxx.abc.com is alive
It is confirms that client is ping able so we can move for second step.

# /usr/bin/rpcinfo -p xxx.abc.com
program vers proto port service
100000 2 tcp 7938 rpcbind
100000 2 udp 7938 rpcbind
390436 1 tcp 9101
390435 1 tcp 8920
390113 1 tcp 7937 nsrexec

By this out put it is confirm that nsrexec running on client.

# /usr/sbin/nsradmin -s xxx.abc.com -p 390113

PUBLIC & PRIVATE option in backup sepecfication.

2011-02-18T13:15:00.003+05:30

If you want to give restore permission other than backup owner or owner group or any user.
we must select PUBLIC option in bakcup specification, this allows permitter user /admin group member to restore backup data.

HP Data Protector CRS Cell Request Service How it works

2011-02-12T14:53:00.003+05:30

Hi

Who is the owner of backup ?

CRS (Cell Request Service ) is the owner for all backups in HP data protector. because CRS is the intiator for all backup specifications (Except Some of BAR applications )
Why we add DBA system user in backup admin group ?
Bacause this account acts as CRS for this accounts.

What happens if CRS account is changed and it is not update in Data protector user list ?
No backu will initiated :(

From today onwards i want to write some of use full commands in detail:

omnidbutil -purge used to sync the database where purge removes all data records from IDB which are no more valid.

example restore sessions failed backup sessions and expired session info which consist a large amount data across filenames, dcbf . in order to refresh the IDB data we can use omnidbutil -purge.

poor tape data protector

if you want reset a data protector poor tape use omnimm reset_poor #media label#

it marks as tape. you can format the media if it reusable it ok. after formatting also it went for poor we cant use any more.

import data protector media into another data protector cell.

this as simple as you select media and select import and do import.
it imports all the data it may takes 5-6 hours depend upon the data.

Could not connect to inet in order to start VBDA@ error

May be network down, or host down. please check by pinging the host.
if ping ok . use telnet #hostname# 5555 to check DA working or not on the client.

There is no more space available in any of the Detail Catalog directories

I recommend to learn about omnidbutil tool in data protector for HP DP Backup administrator.
This is the key tool in extending all kind of table / Database sizes.

HP Data protector IDB size Error There is no more space available in any of the Detail Catalog directories.

2010-10-15T23:07:00.005+05:30

For Above Error we need to check IDB Usage:

we can check idb space : omnirpt -report db_size.

Here we can get all info about all table space . According to the usage we extend the space by omnidbutil command.

through omnidbutil comand we can extend : Filename , DCBF sizes.

Working with Networker 7.6

2010-09-24T12:12:00.003+05:30

From the last week i am learning net worker as i got some free time now. It is very funny and looking little complex administration. in my first working day with net worker i felt data protector is more user friendly and easy to administration.

I will put some of my experiences .

For installation files i downloaded form EMC site where i registered my mail id after that i got download link from EMC .

Downloaded and installed which can work for all this month.

HP Data Protector : Mount request for Media from other pool,

2010-09-17T21:24:00.004+05:30

I don't know where the bug in IDB but in some cases i found 2 extreme behaviours in Data protector.
1. Mount request raised for media which belongs to other pool, even we have enough Media in Expired pool
observations and resolution: This Problem occured in VTL which is having deduplication. so we can't format the slot but we resolved this by making tape protection none ( Allocation order changed to Media) and backup restarted problem resolved.

2. This is a also silly problem we have enough expired tapes (Freepool) in Expired pool. due to firmware(?) problem tape library recognised cleaning tape as UNKOWN Media, when ever backup starts backup going for cleaning tape and it is hanging.
Resolution : Temporerly we formatted required media into required pool . scheduled backup went fine with out any problem.

Working DCBF and IDB enovrn link,

Hmm, as for admin guide there is no solution we we can directly deal with such error . link between Enovorn and database path varialbes. but i got a clue hope it can resolve the issue.

More i am looking into where we can get some info about OB2_OpenFile: error codes or how it works.

Hp Data protector : /opt/omni/lbin Pre-exec and post-exec

2010-08-19T14:06:00.004+05:30

/opt/omni/lbin this is the directory where we put pre-exe , post-exec scripts in HP UNIX,

I didn't faced any problem while configuring oracle offline backups with help of Pre-exe and post-exec scripts. it worked well.

hope it may helps.

Hp Data protector cleaning tape usage

2010-06-20T20:38:00.001+05:30

Cleaning Tape Usage
The cleaning status is NOT checked while a medium is in the drive and being written to. The status of the cleaning request is checked only when a medium is being loaded or changed. So, if the drive sets the cleaning bit, part way through a backup session, the medium is not immediately unloaded. It will be used until it is full, assuming that there is enough data to fill it, in the current backup session.
When medium #1 is unloaded, the cleaning request will be checked; the cleaning tape will be loaded and used. After that, medium #2 will be loaded to continue the backup. It is possible that medium #1 is in bad shape and could be the cause of the cleaning request. However,
Data Protector assumes the medium is still 'Good' and does not mark medium #1 as 'Poor'. The medium will be used again, when it is the 'least recently used'.
If medium #1 is really faulty, this will show up next time it is used, when the write operations fail. Then it will be marked 'Poor' and not used again.
DDS cleaning tapes are a fixed length, with just enough for '25 times 30 seconds' of cleaning. When 30 seconds of cleaning has completed successfully, the clean bit on the drive is reset. The cleaning tape moves forward, over one section of tape, for each 30 seconds of cleaning and it NEVER rewinds! It just moves along until it gets to the end and then it stops.
Once it is at the end, it is an 'expired' cleaning tape. If you load an 'expired' cleaning tape, the tape is active for less than 20 seconds, it does not actually do any cleaning and the cleaning bit is NOT reset. Data Protector can initiate a cleaning operation when the drive sets the cleaning bit. After the cleaning is done, Data Protector will recheck the cleaning bit. If it is still set, Data Protector will terminate the session and will report that the cleaning tape was requested twice for the device.

1. Pre allocated /auto allocated media is not available
2. there is no media

A good Help provided in HP DP below chat explains how DP selects (Free Pool Concept)

Media selection factors

Allocation Policy	Allocate Unformatted Media First	Data Protector Selection Order
Loose	OFF	Preallocation list (if specified) Appendable (as set in usage policy) Unprotected Data Protector Media Unformatted Media Fair Media
Loose	ON	Preallocation list (if specified) Appendable (as set in usage policy) Unformatted Media Unprotected Data Protector Media Fair Media
Strict	Not applicable	Preallocation list (if specified) Appendable (as set in usage policy) Unprotected Data Protector Media Fair Media

HP Data Protector : There is no more space in the internal database for filenames

2010-01-28T16:48:00.006+05:30

There is no more space in the internal database for filenames

This error occured due to filename.dat (The max size 2gb) so we are getting above error.

due to this while taking backup or intiated it is giving a critical error like backup is taken with logging.

Ther Resuloutaion.

In Catalog database we added another table name for more space.

now there is no error

DCBF is moved getting errors ????????

2009-12-08T23:26:00.004+05:30

Data Protector could not store a part of the detail catalog during the backup or import. All files that are backed up on the same device after this message are not marked as backed up in the Data Protector Internal Database. Backup is still valid and restore of complete objects is possible.
------------

* Check the additional error message for the cause of the problem and fix the problem. Most often the problem will occur when the disk runs out of space or when the maximum size limit of the DC directories is reached. * If you want to browse files in that particular backup import the catalog for the medium that was in use when the error occurred and all media that were written after the error in the same device
----------------------------

Check for possible reasons why those files can be missing and try to fix the issue. For example if the file is on the filesystem that is for some reason not mounted, mount it ... * If file is really missing, you can get the contents of the file back by executing the following procedure: 1) Stop all sessions and close all GUIs 2) Run: omnidbutil -fixmpos 3) Find the correct medium and run "Import catalog" for that medium. Note that the debug.log contains the medium ID of the file and that you can use: omnimm -media_info * You may want to further check the Internal Database and then recover it if required. See the chapter "Managing the Data Protector Internal Database" in Data Protector Admin Guide

The above messages contains the problem and it solution. we found when some of dcbf files moved related bakup is firing at that time it is fired. if dcbf directory getting more space simply map additional directory to IDB but don't move to some other place

Some of errors in IDB

2009-11-27T01:45:00.007+05:30

The above screens shows IDB databases(MMD, DCBF) errors. when thease errors occured the best tool fix this is omnidbcheck -fixmpos, Pls go through my previous post on this for more details.

Finding Medium

2009-11-27T00:36:00.003+05:30

The Above screen shows medium importing ,
Yesterday i faced a issue with LTO3 Tapes when the tapes changed by some other egneer mistakenly he changed the tape in different slots. so we run the scan command in DP the entire tapes lost their pool names, after that import/scan command we indified each tape belongs to which pool the above screen shows the same.

HP data Protector backup /session Notifcation Configuration

2009-09-22T20:28:00.001+05:30

Data protector Has it own Event log Manager and even you can configure Email Notifications.

I use Hmail Server to configure SMTP Email for my Dataprotector cell Manager. Here we can configure backup session,device failure , unexpected event details like number of varieties are there. for more info go through the screenshots. But one good thing if you have more backup operators administrator want to know what kind of backup fired by which operator(session user) is one kind of good information we can get in mail.

And built event log consist all kind information which configured in notification(Data protector Event log). there if observe we can learn more troubleshooting....

My PC configuration is AMD Phenomin Quadcore with 4GB Ram. and i Used Vmware workstation 6.5 for this use and i installed VMvare ESX 3.0.2 on this its worked perfect and i am able to installed Virtual Machines in this. Pls go through above screenshots.

More important thing is modifying the VMX configuration file. you have to add a line in this for that i am posting my entire VMX configuration file so if any body facing any problem they can compare the configuration file.

You have to add this line to your VMX Configuration file

monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = TRUE

after that as usual normal installations.

from Vmware infrastucture client i use SSHD for file tranfer to VMware ESX server. for that i enabled SSHD in VMware ESX ( /etc/ssh/sshd_config) add a line root permitlogin = yes

allmost you can run the show

Most Comman Problem with Host Entries in Data Protector

2009-09-16T16:06:00.002+05:30

Most IPC error occurs in Dataprotector due to host name resolutions. to avoid IPC errors and to backup and restore any client i thought above way we can add client information in all clients host entry. I had this experience when restoring also we need installation server tobe resolved by destination restore client . so i hope above method may avoids most of IPC errors .

Hp Data Protector Recovering IDB Using omnidbutil fixmpos, omnidbcheck -bf , omnimm -media_info

2009-09-14T08:57:00.001+05:30

When you run omnidbcheck -bf you will find if any corrupted dcdf file in IDB . in my case i deleted 2 dcdf file from the mapped directory and i run the command . then it showing 2 dcdf file are missing and not found ERORR. after that i run omnimm -media_info for that particular catalog id and i got the pool ,device information. so to fix this i run omnidbutil -fixmpos.

then i tired to restore the session which has been deleted previously its working but one problem if found that the maped dcbf directory not working it simply storing defatult path (ie. c:\programfiles\omniback\db40\dcdf only.

Hp Data Protector importing host, omnicc -import_host, adding ,importing a client into cell manager,adding client in multiple cell managers,cell_info

2009-09-13T02:42:00.002+05:30

This is use full when you unalbe to import the client after installing the agents. or you are moving clients to another cell manager. in my case i moved the client from one cell manager to another cell manager by simpling uninstalling from existing cell manager after updated the disk agent or required integration agent to that client from new cell manger for that client. after that added the path in cell info now i am able to fire backup and restore. after that i thought for a single client with in 2 cell managers i tried it with Vmware workstiaons having 2 differen cell managers and one client with disk agent and media agent here i got sucsess i am able backup and restore through boath cell manager.
Differen phases with screen shots.

Main Cell Path info

can't import host for Cell Manager in Cellmanager2 and i am update the client through cellmanager2 after its able to import the client.

after adding that i fired 2 backups in different cell managers the details and timeing and cell manager info is highlighted in redboxes.

My main concept is when ever the host not resolved or not imported the client we can use same technique .

HP data protector How to add A Client in two Cell Manager,omnicc -import_host

2009-09-13T02:11:00.001+05:30

Is it possible ? . Let me try

I tried this after facing a small problem in office yesterday night.

We got 2 sites in our office production environ and development is another one.

we have two data protector cell managers which are not all having any relationship.

Today i have to restore the Production database to development server but development server is not a client of Cell Manager1{production}. it is a client of Cell manager2{development}.

Hp Data Protector Internal dabase communication error RDS Serivice

2009-09-12T18:09:00.001+05:30

Hp Data Protector unable to open data catalog binary file error when restoring the backup

2009-09-11T15:57:00.001+05:30

This is one of realtime error (Today it happend ) . In our genereal restore checkin process to day we found SAP DB full backup is unable to open dcbf directory error.
Humm. ...

when you click the Detail Button you can some hint or else as my yesterday post simply we can through omnidbutil -fixmpos it fixes the error (Even in details you can see this ).
And it worked .

Hp Dataprotector idbutil and detail catalog binary files (dcbf)

2009-09-10T20:57:00.001+05:30

One of the best tool in DP where its dealswith DCBF
(Detail catlog binar file database. ) nothing but storage session information which consits entire details of a particular session.
we faced a realtime problem in this senario where my C: drive is having less space and after some days (nearly one year +) my c: drive is full and i have to map another directory to Dataprotector. so below example is

dcdf is having 4gb space by default i maped to a dricroy into c:\ and given prioriy 0 so now Data protector is using mapped directory as dcbf catalog directory. but in realtime senarion we have to work with global option file. unfortunetly i dont have the screen shot of my work on that day.

in trail version you may not face any problem but realtime you may not get this much easy work done . For more info gothrough my previous posting on GLOBAL OPTION

One of most realtime utility in Hp Data Protector.

What We Need For Backup Administration

2009-09-04T14:37:00.001+05:30

After Going throgh several Backup Software I personlly feel that a backup administrator should know Scripting or batch execution method. it helps him to understand the system level structure of that particular software. in HP Data Protectro i observed it someword depended on perl scripting and windows batch programming same thing observed in Veritas and Tivoli.

What is the role of USER in Backup

2009-08-19T01:42:00.001+05:30

When i logged with a user level in DP server system and tried to open cell manager.
The below error message is appeared due i didnot added this user in admin/operator group.

Dp with User Permissions

2009-08-19T01:39:00.001+05:30

What is the role of USER in Backup
The backup owner is different

If your backups are configured to run as private, the user starting the
backup is the owner of the data. For example, if user A performs a fullbackup and user B tries to start an incremental backup, the incrementalbackup will be performed as a full backup. This is because the data foruser A is private and cannot be used as a base for user B’s incrementalbackup. The same problem occurs if user A performs a full backup, then user B performs an object copy session, and the original is exported or overwritten. User A cannot perform an incremental backup because the full backup (the copy) now belongs to user B.
Action
Configure backup ownership in the advanced backup specification options. The backup owner should be in the Admin user group. This willmake this user the owner of all backups based on this backup
specification, regardless of who actually starts the backup session.
