Hi,

my Enterprise Vault Directory Service is not starting properly after upgrading from EV 11 to EV 12. It is in running state for a moment, then gets degraded with event 8193 "The Directory Service has stopped" and Event 40975 "unable to access the Directory Service... check that the directory service is running"

It is Windows 2012 R2 and EV Single Server.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Here is my problem with my current setup (which consists of a Dedicated Server running BE 2015 with 5TB storage, and a 3600 Appliance with 5TB storage)

We use deduplication storage on both systems, and we copy jobs from one unit to the other for offsite backup storage.

We are mainly backing up Windows Server 2012R2 systems, and the majority of them are virtual machines.

Veritas recommends that we backup the guest VM’s directly from the host. The main reason for doing this is that you get single instance restore (you only have to restore the vhdx files), and because you cannot perform a restore to virtual for Server2012 R2 systems, so by backing up the VHD you get a similar experience.

The main, really huge, problem with this is that it chews through storage at a rapid pace, even with deduplication. For example if I have two servers configured almost identically, the only difference being the application I am running on them, the VHDX file will be drastically different, and BE will not perform deduplication even though 90% of the contents of the VHDX are similar.

What we have done in the past to prevent this is to back each server up from the guest, so it is treating all my servers as physical servers. The only problem with this is that I am not backing up the vhdx so recovery takes longer as we have to build a VM, then perform a simplified disaster recovery of the server, instead of just restoring a vhdx file. The Huge, upside to this method is the amount of storage space consumed during routine backups., as dedup is able to compare all the files on a server.

As an example, we had been backing up our servers treating each one as a physical server for over a year without any storage problems using only 2.5TB of space with a 6month retention period.

Since we moved to BE 2015 Veritas tech support strongly pushed us to back up from the host. We made this change, believing that maybe things were fixed with dedup and vhdx files. In a matter of three weeks we have consumed 4.6TB of space.

I am looking for some clear direction from Veritas on the capabilities of deduplication and virtual machines, as this may push us to consider moving to something like Unitrends in the next round of maintenance renewals, which can dedup vhdx files.

Hi guys,

My enviroment in principal site is Master server: Windows 2012 and media server is 5230 appliance we are planning a disaster recovery site but I need to use a HP store once (as media server) my master server will be again windows 2012 so my question is. Can I replicate from 5230 appliance to hp store once using AIR?.

We have just insatalled a 100 TB 5230 appliance and we are facing a severe  issue.

our appliacne is showing only the base unit storage .

no expension unit storage is visisble we have 3 expansion unit

our appliance version is 2.7.2

we have powered on shelves first one by one all the lights on SAS cables and front sides are green and disks lights are blue stable

when we start the appliance it took 30 mins to boot up and manage>storage>show all sows only base unit disks.

we have logge dthe case with symantec and for past 3 days they are only asking to shutdown wait and restart the appliacne in sequence.they have snet the helping hands NCR as well but he laso just did the same.

hardware test is not showing any failure. No amber light anywhere.(base unit & expansion unit) we have checked the cacles as wels and both appliacne sas canles are going into IN of first shelf the out of first shelf going to IN of second and so on

We are thinking the raid controller is not able to configure the shelf drives as no green light on drives of expansion shelf.Already shared teh data collector several times with the engineer.

We are stuck and annoyed so far.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Okay, true confessions time.  I still have a 5200 in production at our DR site.

Can't upgrade it to 2.7.x, but I thought I'd hit 2.6.1.2 so I could put the security hotfix on.

Upgrade failed - no mystery - a space issue.  Clearing out space, support hleped me reallocate, want to try upgrade again.

HOWEVER, in the clish, when I'm in

"Manage"→ "Software"→ "UpgradeStatus"

it says

Failed to create the pre-upgrade checkpoint. Kindly contact Symantec technical support.

There's no upgrade running right now.  Positive of it, even rebooted the box.  Pretty sure some marker or file got left behind, and would like to clear it out so I can get honest results when I try the upgrade again.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciate. 

Hello

We might gonna migrate approx. 30 users from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. This is not supported directly by Microsoft, and considering it is only 30 users doing it manually will suffice (exporting PST from users Outlook and importing to new Exchange server).

However, I am wondering if it is possible to this with Backup Exec 2015? Taking a backup of a complete (or actually preferably selected users accounts) Exchange 2003 storage group, and restoring is as PST files or a storage group for Exchange 2010?

Hi all

I am managing about 40 SSR on Windows Server and have to change password per 3 months. I am looking for ways to change password at once. 

How can I do it?

Can Symantec System Recovery Management Solution do it?

We are very new to the world of virtualisation and backing up virtualised servers. I am interested in the process for performing a virtual based backup BUT with excluding certain folders from the backup set.  The reason for this is that one of our servers has a lot of 'static' data that does not need to be backed up every week.  As such I would like to exclude these folders from the normal weekly/incremental backup cycles.  Could someone advise on:

1.  Can folders be excluded from this type of backup?

2.  If so, where in the backup setup process can you specify the the folders / sub-folders to be excluded?

Thanks for any assistance

I am currently using Backup Exec 15 FP4 and OST for the backup. Now I want to connect the OST to a backup server (BE15 FP4) in DR site. The inventory job is successfuly, but the catalog job failed with the below error.

Error:e0000900 - The requested media is not listed in the media index and could not be mounted. To add the media's catalog information to the disk-based catalogs, run an inventory operation on the media and resubmit the Catalog operation.

Hi,

is it possible to pull out old policies information(Policy type, storage unit(what i need)) just to make comparison between the current configuration with the old configuration?

i tried using the policy comparison function on the opscenter but it didnt show what i want which is the previous storage target.

Please advise.

Master server : Unix - Netbackup 7.5

Client : Solaris 10 - which also includes various mount points.

Issue : One of the mount point which we added to the policy is not backed up. i.e: The backup completes partially (1)

Hi ,

i have open a case now from 03.02.2016 11:38 against a Problem with login over jnbsa.

So the Error is that we are  only able to login as root not as a normal local user on the system.

So our normal working procedure is:

- login as root / user to the system over ssh with X redirection.

- start /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/jnbSA

- login with local user credentials.

We are using auth.conf

After that we get an error with the number 511.

Now we get an eeb about that fix but that also doesnt worked for us.

We get the same error.

In the logfiles there is the message:

Internal error:LOGON_TO_MSERVER: No port number returned
NB-Java application server interface error:

That kind of login worked on 7.7.1 after the upgrade the first time the problem occure.

So i wait a very long time to get the answer that is a know issue, now it dont worked hopefully someone has an idear what it can be...

Thanks a  Lot for you help.

Hello all,

The joy of taking over old environments.

I have 1 EV server in a domain called 1.a.com, EV 11 is installed, and running. Opening Console shows "Directory on Localhost". Server has an alias in same domain.

A new server was build called 2.b.com. An alias is made for this in 1.a.com. EV was installed on 2.b.com

When trying to add the 2.b.com to the site, using the configuration wizard, after filling in the ' use existing directory', the wizard chews on this a while, and then comes back with the next screen, NOT showing any site to be selectable.

I tried using a hosts file pointing to the alias for 1.a.com, but that did not help. I can ping that 1.a.com server using the FQDN and the ip-address. The alias obviously does not work.

Is it not showing the site in the config wizard because EV on 1.a.com shows 'directory on localhost'? Should I have the 2.b.com server moved in the 1.a.com domain before adding? Or should I perhaps have an alias created in th b.com domain, pointing to the 1.a.com server?

The goal is to switch ev from 1.a.com to 2.b.com, and then be able to decom (eventually) that a.com domain.

Suggestions?

Thanks, GJ

Hi,

my EV Server 12.0.1 on Win 2012 R2 was really calm regarding alerts, but mailbox archiving task couldn't ever run.

I always receive "Exchange Mailbox Task could not begin processing the Exchange Server" on Administrative Console.

In dtrace for archivetask I had not one really unsuccesfull tag. Maybe this:

{CEVMAPILieModeLock::AcquireExclusiveLock:#41} Trying to acquire lock.

Now I restarted all the tasks and I have errors this event ids (7206, 2256, 3460:

7206:

A locking error has occurred in CEVMAPILieModeLock : 0x102

Internal reference: STWL Write Mutex CMailboxHelper::CreateProfileAndSessionAndOpenMailbox

2256:

The Archiving Task 'Exchange Mailbox Archiving Task for WSLKV313EXT2' could not be started due to startup errors.

3460:

The Task 'Exchange Mailbox Archiving Task for WSLKV313EXT2' failed to log on to Exchange server 'WSLKV313EXT2' using mailbox 'SMTP:ev-sysmailbox@vex13.test.local'. Check that the mailbox has not been hidden, that the server is running and that the vault service account has sufficient permissions on the server.

Enterprise Vault used the following settings for the Outlook Anywhere connection to Exchange 2013 or later:

Proxy server: 'wslkv313ext2.vex13.test.local'

Requires SSL: 'True'

Certificate principal: 'wslkv313ext2.vex13.test.local'

If these settings are correct, check that the servers are responding.

The settings in 3460 are correct. Outlook 2013 SP1 can connect.

Maybe someone has a idea - would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance

Is there any documentation for all the requirements for ev journaling? I would like to know if there is a need to have Exchange Enterprise CALS to configure and use Enterprise Vault Journaling/SMTP Archiving for mail traffic, printers and etc.

Hello,

I am wondering what protocol is used when doing backup to another network location. We have issues with bandwith and before we go investigate, we would like more insight on how and what is used to transfer the data over network. Lets hope is not p2p....

Did read the technical FAQ, but didnt give the answer. 

Thank you

Hi Team,

Could you please suggest on this,

To stop the vcs and leaves the application running we use,

 hastop -all -force

and then start the vcs with hastart.

But, under which condition do we have to use  this command "hastop -all -force." when this operation  will require to keep the application running and do VCS stop and start.

When this is required to use " hastop -local " OR hastop -all to stop the VCS and application.

Please explain.

Thanks

Anyone experiencing this when running DA searches lately? 

“The search timed out (0x80041c71)”. 

Hi

I'm running EV11.0.1 CHF4 and have 2 EV servers. One is running mailbox archiving and is running no problem, the other is doing FSA from an EMC CIFs share and although not giving any errors the file archiving is absolutely crawling. It will process about 4GB of data in 8Hrs and looking into the archiving report I can see periods of inactivity - perhaps up to an hour between processing two files. Both the EV server and EV SQL 2012 server are VMware vm's

I've restrated the services but no change - I've not restarted the entire server yet. There doesn't appear to be any resource issues on the EV server or the EV SQL server - nor on the CIFs share that it's archiving from.

I'm looking for idea's on what tests to carry out next?

I was thinking of:

Creating a new FSA task and point it towards a different CIFs share - to see if this too runs slow or runs at expected speeds

Deleting and recreating the FSA task for the CIFs share that is running very slowly - I only have 1 FSA task created in the environment

Run a Dtrace  against the FSAarchiving task - should I include any other tasks?

Re-create the file target - this is hassle and so I'd rather not do this unless really necessary

Log a call with Veritas support - before I do this I wanted to find out if this is a common issue

Does anyone have any ideas on what could cause FSA to run really slowly when mailbox archiving seems to be ok - and perhaps any other worthwhile tests I should carry out?

many thanks in advance
