Current versions of HA handle this by shutting down the secondary system. I have proved this in testing and actually by having this occur a while back. Once the Secondary system thought it lost connections with the primary, it started to run its take over, due to a minor inturruption with the...

Is there a way to un-mirror a volume group for a database up grade then re-join afterwards if everthing is ok. What is bugging me is what and how if I need to mount the “un-change” mirror copy in case the upgrade is bad, and I want to simply use the part I split, then re-mirror it back until I...

Thanks, I been reading on this all day, and checking my vmstats adn such, I am seeing or now understanding better how aix is using or uses memory... This leads me to ask a question as to what would I see or expect to see, to have me think about adding more physical memory, since it seems AIX...

Hi: I am suspecting a memory issue with an Aix5.3 system, however I cant seem to understand how to truely see free memory, as I like to have the Database person add memory to his database but I need to know what I have free: is the Free reported in some type of block? I keep reading many...

ok i seen it noted for windows, this is a linux backup server runing 6.52. I think the movedb works for my ordeal, as our backup master is assigned 1 tape drive the other media is assign 7 at night backups run and all 7 are busy, even though restores are high priority, some jobs are quite...

ok, where do you put or use FORCE_RESTORE_MEIDA_SERVER, in the bp.conf file of the client? What I was thinking was this bpmedia -movedb -m mediaid -oldserver - newserver but it seemed like there may be another way, and if all you have to do is add the FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER to the...

Hello…. I hope this is a simple question…When we had set our backup system up, we had 8 drives, and the vendor who assisted us, had set up 7 drives for one media server, and 1 drive for the backup master so its another storage unit with in the same robot. He told us this is the typical way to...

I have a media server with 2 nics we are currently using one of them. can you or should you configure up the second one to increase performance to the drives. so if both are on the same media server… NicA currently set Nic B not set yet b do you simply set nicb up, and simply add Server=nicb...

I am looking to use both net cards in our meida server, running linux, at one time veritas said they did not support it. I have about 9 drives in this thing all running under 1 card and i am looking to somehow make it more efficient. what are some of you out there doing if anything or would do...

Well, Now I feel silly, since this was a request from another group who manages thier backups, and I thought they told me they deleted the policies but could not get the clients to clear from the cliet properities. I wish I had doubled checked, earlier, but I just check and they actually just...

Well a full restart of it did not do it, guess I am curious enough to ask veritas....

Hi Bob: Let me understand this, if I have several clients say are just no longer in use, I delete the policies, and such, I still need to stop the netbackup services and restart them to sort of have netbackup finish or clean it up? thanks

Just a quickie, netbackup 6.52, how do you remove clients after you remove the policy, they still show up under client properites, I thought the catalog auto cleaned up itself, or do you still have to remove the dir they are under /usr/openv/netbakcup/db/images/clientname thanks scott

Hello Just want to verify something, I need to move some aix systems to a new platform. Is the easiest way I am thinking is simply restore a mksysb to the new platform, then run savevg from the current aix system, and run restvgs to the new one, to bring over the volume groups, if i have...

Hello: Well, I am trying to update our backup system, which is n a Linux Redhat, with no DVD, just a cd. So, I took the DVD, put it in an AIX system which has a DVD, mounted it, exported it. Then I simply mounted it in Linux by hostname:/cdrom /cdrom. I see all the contents just fine...
