Starting and Stopping Netbackup
Stopping Netbackup
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/K77netbackup --> graceful shutdown /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps -a --> check for any remaining processes /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/bp.kill_all ---> kills all remaining
netbackup processes, not necessarily graceful /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps -a --> check for any remaining processes kill -9 <pid> for any remaining. NOTE: unkillable processes may require a
reboot
Starting Netbackup
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/S77netbackup --> after bp.kill_all, to restart
Common Tasks
Starting the Administration GUI
java from the windows client
x-windows from the server - /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/xnb &
Checking Backup Status
Activity Monitor or /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpdbjobs -report
Cleaning a tape manually
Identify the drive name to be cleanedo tpclean -L
Manually clean the drive:o tpclean -C <drive name>
Determining what tapes were used for a backup
GUIo Backup and Restore --> Find the file system --> Preview Media Button
CLIo Find the correct backup images
bpimagelist -U -client <CLIENT> -d <STARTDATE> -e <ENDDATE>
o Find the media used for those images bpimagelist -U -client <CLIENT> -d <STARTDATE> -e
<ENDDATE> -media
Listing the files in a backup
Find the tape(s) used (above procedure using bpimagelist)cd /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/doneRun the following script and redirect it's output to a text file: for file in `grep MOUNTING *|grep <MEDIA_ID>|awk '{print $1}'|sed 's/:MOUNTING//'` do echo $file grep PATH_WRITTEN $file|awk '{print $3}' echo " " echo "==========================================End of Image======================================" echo " " done
This process works for NBU V3.4:
cd /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/<CLIENT> ls -ltr --> this will identify the directory with the proper date verify directory with "bpdbm -ctime <Unixtime> cd <Unixtime> ls -ltr --> lists all of the backups for this client on this date cat <POLICY>_<Unixtime>_<BU Type>.f | awk '{print $10}' --> this prints
out the files in the backup
For NBU > V3.4
bpflist --help --> undocumented netbackup command to list files from a binary .f file
Inventory the Robot
Inventory Robot --> /opt/openv/volmgr/bin/vmcheckxxx -rt robot_type -rn robot_number -list (where robot_type is tld, acs, . . .)
Inventory Robot and Update Configuration --> /opt/openv/volmgr/bin/vmupdate -rt robot_type -rn robot_number -list (where robot_type is tld, acs, . . .)
Listing Properties of the Volume Pools
vmpool -listall
Scratch Tapes
Count scratch tapes: /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmquery -pn Scratch | grep -c "robot slot"
Moving tapes to the scratch poolo If Needed - Expire the tape
bpexpdate -ev <TAPE ID> -d 0 -force -host <Media Manager>
o Move the tape vmchange -p 2 -m <TAPE ID>
Checking Drive Usage
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmoprcmd
Taking a drive down or up
/usr/openv/volmgr/vmoprcmd -down <drive index> /usr/openv/volmgr/vmoprcmd -up <drive index>
Performing a Restore
From the GUIo user backup & restore --> configuration --> cliento user backup & restore --> configuration --> client to restoreo directory to searcho directory deptho date rangeo file --> browse backups for restore
Adding New Tapes to the Library
Using the GUIo Media Management --> Actions --> New --> Single Volume . . -->o Media Type (ie DLT)o Robot Type (ie TLD)o Media ID (from Inventory)o Slot Number (from Inventory)o Robot Number (ie 0)o Volume Groupo Volume Pool (ie Scratch)
Using the CLIo vmadd -m <media id> -mt <tape type> -verbose -rt <robot type> -b
<barcode> -rn <robot number> -rc1 <slot> -p <pool number> -mm <max mounts>
vmpool -listall --> lists all pools, both name and number
o For example: vmadd -m 000151 -mt dlt -verbose -rt tld -b 000151 -rn 0 -rc1 8 -p 2 -mm 0
Re-using Tapes from other systems or older Netbackups
Expire the mediao bpexpdate -ev MEDIA_ID -d 0 -force -host HOST
Deassign the mediao vmquery -deassignbyid MEDIA_ID 4 0
Move to the scratch poolo vmchange -m MEDIA_ID -p POOL#
Relabel the mediao bplabel -ev CIM572 -d dlt -p Scratch
Changing the attributes of media
Changing the barcodeo vmchange -barcode CYM100D -m CYM100
Changing the Volume Poolo vmchange -m MEDIA_ID -p POOL#
To expire media
bpexpdate -ev <medai id> -d 0 -force -host <media server>
To unfreeze media
List the frozen mediao /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/available_media | grep -i FROZEN
Unfreeze the mediao bpmedia -unfreeze -ev <media id> -h <media server>
To relabel a tape
bplabel -ev <media id> -d <tape density> -p <pool name> bplabel -ev 000687 -d dlt -p TriVrgt_OFFSITE
To remove media from the Netbackup database
Verify that there are no images on the tapeo bpimmedia -mediaid 000687 -L
Expire the tapeo bpexpdate -ev 000687 -d 0 -host scorpius -force
Get the status and pool number of the tapeo vmquery -m 000687
Deassign the tapeo vmquery -deassignbyid <media id> <pool number> <status code from
vmquery -m>o vmquery -deassignbyid 000687 4 0x0
Delete the tapeo vmdelete -m 000687
Installing the Netbackup Client
/update_clients -ForceInstall -ClientList /tmp/clients.lsto requires that TMPDIR and TEMPDIR be set correctly
Excludng files from backup on a client
Create /usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_list Put the file specifications of the files/directories to be excluded
o /mnt/directory/*
Displaying Information about a Tape
vmquery -m <media id> --> Displays attributes about a particular tape bpmedialist -U -mcontents -ev 000687 --> Displays media contents bpmedialist -U -mlist --> List of all media bpmedialist -U -mlist -ev CYM966 --> Listing of a particular media id bpimmedia -mediaid 000687 -L --> Listing of images on a tape
Robtest Commands
Starting robtesto robtest
o 1 --> to select TLD 0 Getting help
o ? Looking at contents of the tape drives
o s d Looking at the contents of the library
o s s Moving a tape from a drive to a library slot
o s d --> to identify drive number that has tape (Contains Cartridge = yes, Barcode=XXXXXX)
o s s --> to identify an empty slot in the tape library (Netbackup will need to be re-inventoried)
o m d# s# --> from from drive # to slot #o s d --> verify the tape drive is emptyo s s --> verify the library slot has the tape
Configuration Files
/usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf
configuration file, sets backup server and backup clients force statement must be correct client to browse from client to restore to
/usr/openv/volmgr/vmconf
Logfiles
To utilize logfiles, create the corresponding directory in /usr/openv/netbackup/logs
Server Logfile directories:
admin - adminstrative commands bpbrm - backup and restore manager
bpcd - client daemon bpdbjobs - database manager program process bpdm - disk manager process bpjava-msvc - Java application server authentication service bpjava-usvc - process that services Java requests bprd - request daemon process bpsched - scheduler process that runs on master servers bptm - tape/optical media management process user-ops - required directory for use by Java programs xbpadm - X based administration utility xbpmon - X based job monitor process
Client Logfile directories:
bp - client user interface process bparchive - archive program bpbackup - backup program bpbkar - program that generates golden images bpcd - client daemon bpjava-msvc - Java application server authentication service bpjava-usvc - process that services Java requests bplist - program that lists backed up and archived files bpmount - program that determines local mountpoints and wildcard expansion
for multiple streams bphdb - Oracle database backup program start process db_log - database specific extension log tar - tar process log during restores user_ops
Media Manager logging automatically goes to the system log using syslogd logging facility
.Logging will only occur if these directories are created. These directories will generate a lot of data and should be deleted when no longer necessary.
To increase the amount of logging information set VERBOSE=2 in /usr/open/netbackup/bp.conf (default is VERBOSE=1)
Processes
ltidacsdvmd
Useful Commands
bpcllist - list classesbpclinfo <class> -L --> displays info about a classvmpool - volume poolsvmpool -listallvmpool -listscratchbplabel -ev <media id> -d hcartbpbackup db --> backs up the catalogbpclclients <policy> --> lists the clients for a particular policy (class)
Troubleshooting
bperror -statuscode <-- displays information about the netbackup error.
No Backups are running:
Check system log file for error messages Stop and restart all the netbackup processes Look for a downed drive
o /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmoprcmdo /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmoprcmd -up 0 --> this will bring up drive 0 if
it's control shows as down Look for pending requests
o /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmoprcmd or gui --> device managemento If there is a pending request either re-assign it to a drive, or deny the
request
Downed drive does not come back up or does not stay up
Check for a hardware problem by looking for messages on the tape library Make sure there is not a tape stuck in the drive
o Use robtest (described above) to look at the drives If there is a tape stuck in the drive, try to remove it using robtest If robtest fails, then you must manually remove it.
Verify the Client is communicating properly:
bpclncmd -ip <ip address> --> from both client and server bpclntcmd -hn <hostname> --> from both client and server bpclntcmd -pn --> from client only
Device Actions
Device Management --> info about tape drives
dlt hcart (ultrium)
Media Actions
Media id must agree with # of the tapeCreate a media id
actions -->new-->single volume-->dlt cart (not dlt2) put it into the "netbackup" volume pool
Netbackup Client
To check things out do this:
It could be a couple things. Mostly DNS, bp.conf, or something stupid. Onthe client run this command
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpclntcmd -pn
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpclntcmd -server "server name"
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpclntcmd ip "ip_address"
One of these usually fails and your able to fix it right off
1074 ./bpclntcmd -hn corpbu1 1075 ./bpclntcmd -ip 10.194.1.129 1076 ping 10.194.1.129 1077 ./bpclntcmd -hn corpldv1 1078 ./bpclntcmd -hn corpbu1.corporate.vox.net 1079 ping corpldv1 1080 ./bpclntcmd -ip 10.194.1.120
Must be able to resolve correctly from the master server and the client or it will not work!!!

Backup ip 10.10.182.133
Check if backup connectivity is there to this server from backup server?
ThanksBalaji
Team,
FYI and Ref. Below command is the way to confirm that specific mountpoint/filesystem is backed up or not on NetBackup. It is NOT simple as NetWorker or CommVault.
Ram – Please let us know if you have figure out any other way from GUI. I checked that also. When we browse the filesystem for restore job, it displays backup information and we need to select it and click on ‘Preview’. So it will display volume information.

Santosh,
No, both are not same. /SSQA is mounted locally from Storage disk and /backup/SSQA is NAS share, not local File system.

Santosh,
The server name is saiadsdbq20 and saiadsdbq21. I guess you have not got the hostname correct. Please check and let us know. Thanks!!

Hi Shambu/Nandan,
Following two hosts are not configured in backup policy. Please create a Netasthra SR and assign to backup team to add into backups.
Also provide us backup network IP associated with those hosts.

Hi Team,
We completed scheduling in dbp21/22/23 for application monitoring.
Changed archive log backup scheduling time from 0-21 to 5-21 in the below servers .Saiadsdbp20 seiadsdbp20saiadsdbp26
Regarding PATCH:
since there is no space on the server saiadsdbq20 and 21,we raised an SR to backup team for taking backup of ORACLE mount points.Refer INC000000054144
Kindly confirm the retention period for the above SR.
Thanks,Madhukar & Yusuf

Hi All,
Please go through attached Oracle instances information and RMAN Backup Schedules on Ashburn Backup server.

Thanks Mark!.
Find attached the excel with the changes as you mentioned. Review and let know if the retention policies are fine now.
Also on your comments, find below my understanding Firstly Every day, the Oracle RMAN backup job(bk_rman_10g.ksh) would run from user
ORACLE’s CRON job and the RMAN backup set would be generated on to the disk (cdl) -> This RMAN backup at CDL will be retained for 14 days
Then Every day, the Veritas Net backup would run a job that would duplicate(make a copy) of the RMAN backupset stored in the CDL – and its backed up into the tape -> every day RMAN tape backup will be retained for 8 weeks
Every month , the Veritas Net backup would run a job that would duplicate(make a copy) of the RMAN backupset stored in the CDL – and its backed up into the tape -> every month RMAN tape backup will be retained for 1 year
Please let know if my understanding from your below comment is correct.
Thanks,Veera
