HBA configuration is not saved after appliance reboot
Hi Support,
Please I need a solution on how I can make my hba cards configuration persistant upon appliance reboot.
I notice each time I reboot the appliance, all the hba cards return to the default mode, which is "initiator", whereas some were configured as "target" I have outline the steps I use to configure my hba cards below in case of any mistake.
Ojapp5230-02:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd # nbftsrv_config -nbhba (install hba driver)
Ojapp5230-02:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd # ./nbhba -L (all defaults to "initiator")
Ojapp5230-02:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd # ./nbhba -modify -wwn 21:00:00:24:FF:53:9A:2E -mode target (set some hba cards as "target")
Ojapp5230-02:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd # ./nbhba -L (verify changes)
Ojapp5230-02:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd # nbftsrv_config (updating configuration)
Ojapp5230-02.Support> reboot
NB: After reboot, I notice all the hba cards defaults to "initiator" and none is "target", please is there any way around these, because there will always be a reboot of the appliance during maintenance.
thanks in advance,
Felix

Full Domain Controller recovery - BE 2014
All,
I'm trying to get to the bottom of the process being recovering an AD controller to new hardware when no other AD controller is present. In my test environment, I have managed to recover the Backup Exec Media Server and have placed it in a workgroup as the domain is of course not available. Looking at the documentation, I have setup the new server which will be the new AD Server and also just left it in a workgroup. I'm now trying to work out the recommended way to recover the AD Environment. So far I'm not having any luck changing the target to a different server.
I've been advised that I cannot do this recovery using Simple Disaster Recovery which is fine but I do need to know how to do this. I was thinking that the domain should be setup as a clean domain and then restore the system state and do an authoratitave restore but the Admin Guide for backup exec does not suggest this.
Has anyone managed to do this and if so, could you point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance
Chris

Duplicate to Data Centre
Hi,
We currently have one Backup Exec 2012 Server which runs backup jobs, dedups them and then duplicates to tape. The company want further protection by duplicating the jobs to a Data Centre and I have been asked to look into this. The last time I used backup exec was when I passed my STS exam two years ago and have since lost my access to the training material to review so I would be very grateful for any help I can get.
I'm assuming it's not as easy as just creating an additional duplicate task to the Data Centre storage (if we get a VPN up and running) as the storage would look like it's a disk within the site? I would guess that I have to purchase further licenses and have a VM backup exec server running in the DC. I've found a PDF on BE private cloud services but am still a bit confused.
Thanks.
Backup exec appliance
Kindly advise us , our customer will implement Hyper-v High Availability so he will need Storage for this ,in the other hand he will use Backup Exec as Backup Solution .
We asked if he can replace the original Storage (HP storage ) with Symantec Appliance or not , and this will be good solution or not.
NBU VSS not truncating Exchange 2010 SP1 Transaction Logs
I've got a VM and Application backup of Exchange following every guideline in the world, all available support articles, all rights are set OK, All config looks fine. Backup and restore works like a charm, Full VM's, Files, Databases and single mail items can be restored from one single vmdk backup. All windows eventlogs are fine (master, media, exchange, cas, clients). Everything looks swell, grand, perfect. No error messages anywhere. But no truncate. Take a look at the bpfis INF (information) entry:
But... I've still got a problem, here's the only evidence I've found is from the BPFIS log on the Exchange Client being backed up: "INF - INF - Exchange Transaction Logs will not be truncated by VSS because this is a pre-VM type backup"
Pre-VM type backup = what is that ? What does it actually refer to? Is my VM's or my policy wrongly configured?
A normal GRT backup via the net/client works fine and clears the transaction logs, but I was hoping to do a vmware backup, with transport type = SAN :-)
Anyone with any idea? Anything is appreciated :-)

Job vinculado a midia server.
Olá a todos!
Tenho um CASO que gerencia 3 midia servers, todos com Backup Exec 2014 sobre Windows Server 2012 R2, todos os midia servers tem tape libraries conectados via fibra.
Estou com a seguinte dúvida:
Como fazer um restore de um job que foi executado no midia server #1 (Que está desligado) em outro midia server sem ser necessário recatalogar as fitas.
É possivel fazer alguma configuração ou nova topologia que torne esse caso mais facil de ser tratado?
Obrigado pela atenção.

BE2014 SBS - License Count Client OS as Server
Hello,
Using BE2014 SBS Edition on a SBS2011.
We are getting the "Warning" that we are Backing Up more Servers than we have Licenses for...
In the MouseOver the "Servers" are Listed and one of them is a Client. (Windows 7 OS).
(But it is running on a HyperV System like the SBS2011).
Is that a Bug or is there a way we can change this?
Thanks and best Regards

About Retention in Storage Lifecycle Policies
Hi Folks,
I'm new to this community, I'm hoping if anyone could help me with this case:
Currently in our environment, we have two netbackups master server in two different location, each server also have 1 media server installed and also attached with Quantum Disk in each site, all of them are installed under Windows 2008 R2 x64
Here's the setup,
DC1 :
Master-Server-A
IBM Tape Library A, with 3 LTO 5 Tape Drives
Quantum VTL A
Media-Server-A
IBM Tape Library A, with 3 LTO 5 Tape Drives (Shared with Master Server)
Quantum OST Diskpool A
DC2 :
Master-Server-B
IBM Tape Library B, with 3 LTO 5 Tape Drives
Quantum VTL B
Media-Server-B
IBM Tape Library B, with 3 LTO 5 Tape Drives (Shared with Master Server)
Quantum OST Diskpool B
I configured two SLPs in two sites, like this:
- in DC1 I create SLP_A , first job is to backup to OST Disk with infinity retention, second job is replication to DC2 OST Disk with 1 year retention
- in DC2 I create SLP_B , first job is import with target retention, second job is duplicate to tape with retention infinity
The Question is, when I checked the duplication result via restore job, it looks like the expired time is only 1 year, that means the retention is following the replication job in the first SLP, not infinity retention as I configured on the second SLP
What should I do so that the duplicated imported image will apply the infinity retention?
Thanks in advance
