NetBackup | Capacity Report

Raporları oluşturmak için Flex üzerindeki master server'a PuTTY üzerinden appadmin ile giriş yapın ve "sudo -i" ile root kullanıcısına geçiş yapın.

Aşağıdaki ekran çıktısında göreceğiniz komutu çalıştırarak "kapasite" temelli kullanım raporunu oluşturabilirsiniz.

Turuncu renkle gösterilen girişleri elle yaptıktan sonra MS Excel formatında oluşacak rapor dosyası bulunduğu dizinden (yeşil renkle gösterildi) sistem dışına çıkartılabilir.

 

CPU socket bazlı lisansların kapsadığı kısmı görebilmek için "socket" bazlı kullanım raporunu da aşağıdaki şekilde oluşturuyoruz.

Gerekirse, aşağıdaki satırı /usr/openv/db/data/instance/postgresql.auto.conf içine ekledikten sonra instance'ı stop/start edin.

NetBackup | Register OpsCenter

NetBackup master sunucusunu OpsCenter sistemine register etmek için aşağıdaki komutu kullanabiliriz.

nbregopsc -add <Name of the OpsCenter Server> 

D:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>nbregopsc.exe

ERROR: No options selected

Usage: nbregopsc [-help]

[-addnb <OpsCenter server name>] Registers NetBackup with the specified OpsCenter server

[-addopscenter <OpsCenter server name>] Registers the OpsCenter server with NetBackup

[-add <OpsCenter server name>] Performs both -addnb and -addopscenter

[-preferred_network <OpsCenter server IP Address>] Optional OpsCenter server IP (applicable only for -add and -addnb)

NetBackup | MS SQL Server instances disappear from SQL Intelligent Policy

Problem

MS SQL Server instances disappear from SQL Intelligent Policy and previously discovered Availability Groups (AG) in NetBackup.

Cause

There is a mismatch in the following values:

- The output of the query SELECT @@SERVERNAME from SQL Management Studio.

- The Value in the Windows Registry under \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\X\Machines\OriginalMachineName 

Discovering AGs and instances involves both non-credential discovery and credential discovery. When NetBackup is not authenticated to connect to the SQL server, OriginalMachineName from the Windows Registry is collected by non-credential discovery as a source of the information for AGs or instances. Once connected, the information obtained from SQL Server will also be used. The conflict between these pieces of information will lead to a cycle of source information changing, which results in the issue of the AGs disappearing from NetBackup. 

This mismatch could be attributed to multiple factors. One to be considered is the cloning and deploying of VMs containing previously configured SQL Servers.

Solution

• Compare the following values in the client. 

           The output of the query SELECT @@SERVERNAME from SQL Management Studio.

           The Value from the Registry under \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\X\Machines\OriginalMachineName 

           If the values above do not match, then rename one of those to make them match based on the preferred naming convention used in your organization. 

• Restart NetBackup Services on the SQL client. 

• Register Instance Name using the same name selected for the Registry keys

NetBackup / How to silence the Disk Alarm on a NetBackup Appliance

How to silence the Disk Alarm on a NetBackup Appliance

Problem
The NetBackup Appliances will sound an audible alarm when a hard drive failure is detected.

Cause
This alarm is controlled by the RAID card installed on the Appliance.

Solution
First verify what is causing the Alarm:
 # /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -AdpGetProp AlarmDsply -aall

The Alarm can then be silenced with this command: 
# /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -AdpSetProp AlarmSilence -aall

If desired the Alarm can be disabled completely with:
# /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -AdpSetProp AlarmDsbl –aall
 
To enable the alarm again: 
# /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -AdpSetProp  AlarmEnbl –aall

NetBackup / 5240 Appliance disk drive configuration

NetBackup 5240 Appliance contains 12 SAS hard disk drives. 

The appliance uses the disk drive that is located in slot 11 as a hot-spare disk. 

If one of the disk drives fails in slots 4 through 10, the appliance automatically initiates a RAID 6 rebuild operation. It rebuilds the RAID 6 array by using the hot-spare disk drive in slot 11. 

After you replace the failed disk drive, the appliance then copies the information from the disk drive in slot 11 to the new replacement disk. 

When the copy operation finishes, the disk drive in slot 11 again becomes the hot-spare disk.
