OpsCenter Custom SQL Query (Help Needed)

0
0
I need a solution

I need help writing a query that I assume needs a join or inner join that I cannot figure out, and my SQL knowledge is to be desired. So here is what I am trying to do...First the tables and columns.

Tables and Columns that have the data I need.
---------------------------------------------
domain_client
Column "Name"

domain_Policy
Column "name"

domain_JobArchive
Column "startTime"& "endTime"& "throughput"& "State""statusCode"

nb_VirtualMachines
Column "operatingSystem"& "name"

What I am trying to do
---------------------------------------------
I need a SQL query that takes the "name" column value from the table "domain_client" and use it to select values in the "name" column in the table "nb_VirtualMachines" that contains the Operating System Value in column "operatingSystem" and combine its out put from "name"& "operatingSystem" with the select values from Column "name" in table "domain_Policy" and Column "startTime"& "endTime"& "throughput"& "State" from table "domain_JobArchive"

I then need to apply

adjust_timestamp(domain_JobArchive.startTime,-14400000 ) as "Job Start Time",

adjust_timestamp(domain_JobArchive.endTime,-14400000 ) as "Job End Time",

for the two columns "startTime"& "endTime" from table domain_JobArchive.

And - and here is where I dont know if this is possible. I need to have the column "state" from Table "domain_JobArchive" if it has a value of 3 and a value of 0 or 1 in column "statusCode" in the same table it show a value of 0 or 1. 0 being = to Successful, and 1 being = to Partial.

My failed attempt at this was

(case when domain_JobArchive.state =3 and domain_JobArchive.statusCode in (0,1) then 0 else 2 end) as "Job Status (Complete/Partial/Failed)

The output would in the end would be something like
Policy Name | VM Name | OS Type | Job Start Time | Durration (Min) | Job End Eimte | Throughput | Size (GB)| Job Status
Some_Policy | Somehos  | RHEL6    | Oct 11 2142AM |                      30  | Oct 11 2142PM | 192MB/s       | 17             |Successful
Some_Policy | Somehos  | Win7       | Oct 11 2112AM |                        7  | Oct 11 2113PM  | 102MB/s       |   7             |Failed

Any help would be welcome. Attached is one of my failed SQL Query attempts

VSS Frustration

I need a solution

Hello all,

I'm running a variety of Backup Exec software solutions and run into this problem with every version.

VSS Writer errors -

I have tried changing the options for Advanced file open portion of the backup and have found I see better results with

Use Snapshot Technology - Automatically select snapshot technology - Process logical volumes for backup one at a time and ENable checkpoint restart.

However I still periodically get Errors Listed below:

V-79-57344-65233 - Snapshot Technology: Initialization failure on: "\\CMI1730\System?State". Snapshot technology used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). Snapshot technology error (0xE000FED1): A failure occurred querying the Writer status. Check the Windows Event Viewer for details.

WHen it fails it seams to fail for weeks at a time.

I've even written a script to reset the All the Writers before the backup job runs as a pre command for the backup job I have running.

I have verified the Writer status is good before the snapshot proccessing begins.

HELP!!!!

Admin console for 5230 master

I need a solution

I have a 5230 (2.6.1) master running in our DR location.  It is primarily used for AIR jobs from i primary DC but is used to backup a few machines here and there in the DR facility.

Apparently i have not tried to connect to it in some time through the admin console and i am having a bit of trouble.  Everytime i connect to the applianc it will only connect with the BAR open and next to the name of the server it says (client) where im use to seeing (master).

I honestly think this is first time i have acutally used the java console to connect as in the past i was connecting through the installed Admin console with version 7.6.  Since upgrading my Primary DC to 7.7 I seem to have lost that window now.

Does anyone know what i could be doing wrong to not get it to connect as a master server so that i can manage jobs and do some restores.

BU Exec In use problem

0
0
I need a solution

Hi,

we have an issue with BU Exec 2010 r3 and our HP MSL2024 tape drive.

Recently our nightly backups have been randomly failing with an error indicating the drive cannot read the media. 

One night we will not have an issue, the next night it will fail with a read error.

Yesterday a tape got stuck in our drive and BU exec/HP software were unable to eject it. We had to pull the drive and manually remove the tape.

We tried several times to get the system to read any tape but each time the tape gets stuck and we have to manually remove it.

So, we loaded the tape drive again and after powering up our drives are stuck "in use"

Meaning we are unable to run any tape jobs or to continue to test.

Its been stuck the mode "in use" for about 24 hours now.

We are assuming the tape drive needs to be replaced but before we do we are looking for any feedback that may indicate the issue is not the drive.

Thoughts/Suggestions?

First tape in set ignored

0
0
I need a solution

I set up a duplicate to tape job with 5 tapes in a library. The first tape was ignored, so everything was written to tapes 2-5. Fortunately, I really only needed 4 tapes, but when I use 4 tapes next time, I want to make sure they are all used properly.

One caveat - after I labeled and inventoried all of the tapes, I performed a small overwrite to the first tape as a test, then set all of the real tape jobs to append. The first tape did show up as appendable, so I don't think any overwrite protection was the culprit.

Any ideas? Next time around, I'm going to try setting the first tape job up to overwrite and all the rest to append, but I'm not sure why that would make a difference.

Agent Needs the Server to Reboot? WHY?

0
0
I need a solution

This is crazy.

I have my new BE2015 server online and i started the migration of the agents from BE2012 to BE2015.

It is 100% un-acceptably that a reboot it required.  IT will takes months to do the migration if i have to schedule a reboot for every server that gets the BE2015 agent.

Please tell me that there is a better solution?

I need a solution

Good Day to All,

We are getting an snapshot error message and are scratching our heads trying to firgure this out. The backup seems to fail only in the last second or 2.

It only happends on one of volumes and not the 'C' drive. A restart does not help either and everytime we ger this error message, we have to restart the "HyperV Virtual Machine Management Service" as the error stops the "Microsoft HyperV VSS Writer": We are running running Server 2012 R2. We have also degraged our disks and no errors are poping up.

Any help is appreciated. 

The error message is,

"

Error EC8F17B7: Cannot create recovery points for job: Drive Backup of (E:\).
    Error E0BB00B5: Snapshot error Error EBAB03F1: Following Operating System error occurred while performing requested operation: 'OS error 2147754806.'. (UMI:V-281-3215-6071)

Sharing the Same Drive for B2D and DEDuplication

0

I need a solution

I have a new Server 2012R2 running BE2015.

I have two 10TB Volumes(drives) for backups.  there is also a seperate OS drive.

I want to run B2D and DeDuplication jobs to the each of the volumes.

Then put both in a disk pool.

This would allow for me to take a volume offline (out of the pool) when there is a drive failure and not affect backups.

So what are the pros and cons for putting b2d and DD on the same volume?

Netbackup MSP Solution

I need a solution

hello,

we are evaluating netbackup 523/5330 and Biomni for our MSP Clooud backup offering , is there any guide or soluiton berief for us to check?

i cant understand that we can have BAAS for customers that have servers inside our datacenter but what can we do for customers that have their own datacenter? do we have to deploy NBU in their site? or we can use NBU Agent? (considering bandwidth , latency ...)

is there any agentless solution for doing this?

our backups are mostly for vmWare vSphere but we have some Phusical Windows & Linux machines in Customer Datacenters.

thanks.

MSDP frequently going down

I need a solution

Hi All,

        MSDP is frequently going down and automatically coming up after sometime. 

Master server = Windows 2K8 with Netbackup 7.6.0.4

Media server = Windows 2K8 with Netbackup 7.6.0.4

MSDP = around 8 TB NetApp lun

We are monitoring last few weeks, MSDP is frequently going down and comes up automatically. When I checked with local support team . They said, " There is a bug in 7.6.0.4 and it will be resolved updating to 7.6.1.2 

We don't have plan to update the Netbackup version because of my VM environment is not supported for 7.6.1.2 

I have scheduled reboot for media server monthly once . 2 days before it was rebooted but again issue came. Is there any other way to avoid MSDP down issue.

RMAN: overlapping restore and backup window

I need a solution

NBU 7.6.0.3

Oracle 11.2.0.3

Solaris 10

this post started with the two below links

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/any-steps-correctly-restore-oracle-archives-using-rman

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/nbu-restore-success-rman-archive-errors-occur

i've marked them as resolved also.

i'm opening this new one as a follow up and as an observation:

We always restore using a script mentioning the time up to which we want to restore.

We have a daily backup scheduled for our production environment which starts at “21:00” and finishes between “4 am to 5:30 AM”.

We have always noticed while restoring on alternate clients, if the restore finishes anytime between “21:00 and 5:30 am” (the window when production backup is going on) the restore always errors out with the same error “INF - RMAN-06025: no backup of log thread 1 seq 682 lowscn 14956764 found to restore”. But if the restore finishes out of the backup window, it finishes without any issues.

so as you can see, though we've narrowed down the cause, we still haven't found the root cause of the problem. hoping someone can shed light on this.

we are still investigating from our side.

I need a solution

Hi All

Thank you for taking the time to read my query.

I have recenently updated my hyper-v host from server 2008 to 2012R2.

I have re-intalled the Agent onto the server but now backup exec does not see the hyper-v servers at all.

Does anyone know if there is a compatabilty issue or if server 2012 is not supported by backup exec 2010.

Thanks

Hello,

We're currently adding the ability to document BackupExec as part of our Server Documentation Tool and have an issue.

When selecting files for a RedHat Enterprise Linux server from the Backup Exec everything looks fine

Selections.png

SelectionText.png

However when you run the Get-BEBackupDefinition cmdlet the selection shows as BackupExec.Management.CLI.BEUnrecognizedSelection

Does anyone have any ideas? Is this a bug in the PowerShell cmdlets?

Thanks for any suggestions!
