Backup Exec 2010 VADP

Currently, we use Windows Backup Exec 2010 agents to back up data on 10 VM as their SATA option was very slow.

I'm looking to move to the use of transport SAN with VADP, but need some assurance on the set-up process. We have two ESX hosts connected via iSCSI to an IBM DS3300 SAN. As I understand it, I have to add the Backup Exec Windows Server to the host group that our ESX host. It is the only way to present LUNS to the server BE, to my knowledge.

Of course, there is the fear of Automount with Windows Server. I used DISKPART automount disable and scrub, but I hesitate again to add the server to the host BE documentation on the process group does not exist and their support will not confirm anything. IBM storage medium does not recommend adding a Windows Server for the host group, controlled by the ESX hosts.

I forgot something, or do I have to go against the recommendation of IBM?

I hope you are using R2 BE2010 if is not upgraded as soon as POSSIBLE.  Backup agent present Vmware in BE 2010 R2 has been updated to correct defects in present in the previous version of the software. Since you have already disabled automount san must present LUNS to the host.

Add the BE Server to the host group that owns VMFS volumes you want to back up

* Ensure that your transport settings and Agent for VMware Virtual Infrastructure backup options are correct.

Making sure ISCSI initiator able to connect to the specified targets

Either work its magic

  • Backup Exec 2010 R2 and Vsphere 4.1

    Good day all

    I'm quite puzzeled of Backup Exec 2010 r2 backup of Vsphere 4.1 VM with VM agent. In the image attached data store is thick accrued 1.14 TB LUN on the SAN that has 2 vm. The virtual machine is configured to thin configured as you can see the storage capacity and put in service has about 400 GB discrepancy, but it's only when backups are like BE2010 instant process. Here are the best backup is to 400 GB, but free storage has not diminished, I expect short of space free on the LUNS but is still in treatment of the backup and servers are still in place.

    Can someone explain to me the instant treatment BE2010 and space to line up shots in a BE2010 perspective.

    The snapshot files will contain only the changes made to the virtual machine, while the backup is running.  When the backup starts, it takes a snapshot of the virtual machines, this snapshot blocks of virtual disk files 'main '.  New entries on the virtual disks will be written to the snapshot files, that is, they contain only the changes made to the virtual machine.  The backup task is then sure to read the 'core' virtual drives, knowing that they will not change and will be in the State of the virtual machine when the snapshot was taken.  Once the backup is complete, it will "remove" the snapshot, this 'merges' the changes in the files of 'snapshot' for 'main' virtual disk files

    If the 'snapshot' files will be as large as the amount of changes on the virtual disks while the snapshot is in place.  This has nothing to do with the amount of data backed up by Backup Exec as one reads in the virtual disk files 'main '.

    I guess that you expected the files 'snapshot' to increase the amount of data on the virtual disks and for Backup Exec read these files snashot.

    I hope that makes sense.

  • Backup exec 2012, issue of mpio san backup and ALA

    We have a 4 TB File Server 2008, BONE is a physical server with hba to san volume where the files are located on.
    so far, our backup exec server has an hba double iscis, with only using a port in the San.
    in backup exec, I have created 8 jobs that run at the same time and creates 8 snapshots on the san to back up the file server.
    on the side of san when snapshots are created, I can see that snapshots are assigned to the different ethernet ports, eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3, etc..
    and start broadcasting our backup exec Server iscsi hba data, but since it is only using 1 connection her bottleneck through 1 Gbps.

    If I install mpio on the backup exec server and configure the ports and mpio on the hba settings, when the san creates snapshots, the TI separate backups between the two connections of 1 GB on the hba iscis on the backup exec Server?

    what I have to do all the other configurations on the San or switch layer2 (48 1 Gbps connections) that we use for our San?
    I read somewhere that you would have to do something on the switch if you did 'aggregation of links' or 'bonding' but that mpio is completely different, and I wouldn't have to do something for her.

    any comments would be appreciated.

    Hello

    Re: Collage/circuits only is not supported by the MS. iSCSI initiator  It's in the guide to iSCSi Ms.

    RE: iSCSI hba.   What is a Broadcom iSCSI unloading mode or Qlogic iSCSI HBA?

    So once you configure the other port on the DRUNK to be on the same SAN subnet, you can use MPIO.

    You should already have installed the EQL HIT the DRINK server, is that correct?     If so, then run the Remote Setup Wizard in the Equallogic program folder.   There is an option "configure mpio.   Game to use only the iSCSI subnet, and you will see a checkbox for MPIO enabled shadow copy.  Which is enabled by default.

  • Backup Exec 11 d cannot see Powervault ML6000

    Hello

    We just bought a Powervault ML6000 (ML6020) tape library and can not see using Backup Exec 11 d.

    Backup Exec is installed on two backup servers:

    PowerEdge 1650 running Windows 2003 R2.

    PowerEdge 750 running Windows 2003 R2.

    The ml6000 library is connected via cables FC to a MCData Fibre Channel switch. A San is also connected to the FC switch. We want the servers are backup using the SAN which is connected to the FC switch.

    I can access the ML6000 library via its web interface for backup servers.

    We would be able to see the ML6000 readers across the network? or do we have to connect to the server PowerEdger to the MCData switch with cables FC?

    Thank you


  • Type of license for the use of Veritas Backup exec with the unit?

    The customer is already using the product widely in their networks, which is the license includes?

    Thank you.

    HI -.

    We use Veritas for the backup device. You will need to contact your representative of Veritas for license information - it is not provided by Cisco. Since the unit running SQL (or MSDE 2000), you will need SQL Veritas agent to back up OPEN files. We do not use dirt, but only for the backup device before performing the upgrades. And we also to break the mirror set beforehand. http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/customer/products/SW/voicesw/ps2237/products_maintenance_guide_chapter09186a0080443809.html#wp1073824

  • Help - DR4000 and Symantec Backup Exec 2012

    We strive to set up a DR4000 with Symantec Backup Exec 2012 VRay Edition.

    DR4000 firmware is 1.0.1.1

    I created a new container and all NFS and CIFS permissions without restrictions. (Free access)

    When I go to add a new drive according to the storage location to BE, everything goes OK until the BE trying to access the share location when I get an authentication error.  He seems to BE trying to gain access to the share using the default service account, (which the DR4000 does not of course).

    I am a little confused because I thought that if it's full, permissions are enabled on the actions of DR4000, then it does not matter which account is used.

    There is also no documentation on how to implement the DR4000 and BE with storage devices open that apparently two support, but all the examples I've seen ignores OSD and uses just a disk path leaves ordinary.

    We are stuck with shiny new Dell and DR4000 backup server and no way to use them.

    If anyone can help?

    Ok.  Problem solved.  I disconnected the DR4000 of the field, it still wouldn't connect.  I joined it to the domain, and then BE could access the share OK.  I don't know why it did not work before.  A note, why you cannot join the DR4000 to the domain by using the domain administrator account?  You must use another account with domain administrator rights.

  • Backup Exec and instant / add disk space

    I use Backup Exec to make full VM backups

    After the backup, I can see a snapshot to the virtual machine in the Snapshot Manager

    I deleted all the snapshots of the virtual machine and stop the virtual machine.

    At this point providing drive area is grayed out and e/s can not add disk space on the existing drive

    I don't see that there is a-000001, 000002 vmdk still kicking around in the virtual machine folder

    (a) is it safe to delete the 00001 and 0002?

    (b) any idea how to prevent the creation of the Snapshot Backup Exec files

  • Support ESXi 5.0 host FC connected tape drives in the virtual machine running symantec backup exec 2012

    Dear Experts,

    We recently purchased C0H19A: StoreEver HP 1/8 G2 6 - LTO Ultrium 6250 CF TapeAutoloader. The purpose is to backup of VMS data, I mean selected data in virtual machines, as for the exchange of data bases email for server accounts database SQL server etc.. We have a full VM backup plan, so using symantec backup exec software.

    We have this configuration:

    -TWO DL 380 Gen8 servers (running UPDATE2 Esxi 5.0), both servers have not all SCSI ports

    -One SINGLE HP P2000 G2 MSA FC Dual Cntrl storage

    -TWO HP SN6000 12 - pt Windows Pwr FC switch

    -HP ADF

    All them above are related to the CF. Symantec backup exec 2012 is also installed on Windows 2008 R2, which is a virtual machine.

    But now, we are unable to see the tape library autoloader through the virtualization layer in the device of machine Manager virtual backup exec. Reading on internet, I also found some details that connected FC tape drives are not supported by the Esxi hosts. We are really stuck in this situation, all the solutions to this. I also read the article from vmware saying configuration for Esxi 4.0 FC tape drives and later versions

    Installation of a physical server windows with Backup Exec 2012 and HBA and connected to above switches FC is the only way to see the ADF? Even after reading articles on the internet, I'm not clear, please guide what solution I have now to get this thing going, I really need to find solution to this.

    Waiting for answers.

    Kind regards

    Hello, I'm a Backup Exec support engineer and yes the method supported is only by connecting the tape drive to a server of physical media.

  • Symantec Backup Exec version free ESXi

    Hi all

    I using ESXi 5.1 free version a host and 3 windows Server 2008 R2 OS guest.

    I need to save and plan to purchase Symantec Backup Exec 2012 month next but the seller said "all backup software no ESXi free support" because API service off, so I have to buy vSphere Essentials.

    Is it factual information? If so, can you suggest me other solution?

    Thank you

    Preeda S.

    refer to page 32 of Backup Exec (tm) 2012 software compatibility list (SCL)

    http://www.Symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&ID=TECH175581

    Note: Must be a Standard license for vSphere to BE 2012 properly protect guest hosted ESXi systems.

    Note: Everything is free version of ESXi (4i and 5) require a minimum of VMware license in order to be protected by Backup Exec. This is due to the lack of API vStorage to help to protect data in versions without a free license of ESXi and VMware current limiting.

  • Backup Exec + old snapshot

    Hello!

    We have a customer who has evaluated the Backup exec for about 6 months (unbeknownst to us).  I discovered today that symantec BE created a snapshot that is active on the server.  The disc is supplied thickness and there are 30 GB free on the data store, and snapshot is 40 GB. I guess that since the disc is thick free space will be sufficient! But I guess it will take some time to merge the snapshot when I remove it. the store is located on a raid10 with 15 k sas drives.  can take the server for a few hours during the merger of the snapshot.

    Are there other options available that are better?

    shouldbnt you must close down to remove a snapshot.

    Another option is to v2v the virutal machine

    is what version of esxi? 4.0 or 4.1

  • Backup Exec Meida server as a VM guest

    We had some hardware problems with our current 12.5 Exec from running on a Dell 4400 Server backup.   So we thought we would give him a try to P2V a Dell 2600 ESX 3.5 server.

    Tape drive - tape Exabyte VXA-3 SCSI drive

    Host controller - Adaptec SCSI Ultra 160 29160 controller

    During the test backup very frist after p2v conversion and the shift of the SCSI controller card backup performance was terrible.  About 100 MB per minute.

    I had feared this and thought I would just need to return to a self-sustaining media dedicated server.

    However, the next backup performance and for the following week was about 600 MB / / minute.  It was even better that the old physical Dell 4400 server we had.

    Then all of a sudden about a week later backup now back back about 100 MB speeds / / min.     A job that used to take about 38 minutes to run now takes 4 hours.

    If it is not possible to have a server of media as a guest to talk to the SCSI card in the host ESX 3.5 then so be it.  But it has worked for more than a week, then stopped.

    The only thing that has changed is that I added a virtual disk of 300 GB for Backup Exec Server 2003 32 bit sp2 media server.   So that I could make this record to the file backups.   Given that this speed does not exceed 100 MB / per minute.

    My backups of backups from disk to disk file are around 600 MB speed.   It tells me that the neck of the bottle is not in the network, but in the more likely tape drive SCSI communications.

    I'm back up the server of current reviews as well as other guests as well as other physical servers.

    All the ideas from the community would be greatly appreciated.

    If I just need a cavity on the idea and go back to only a dedicated physical server I can do the same.

    Thank you.

    Randy

    Just to clarify. You just use a single SCSI HBA for a local disk and the tape drive? How many SCSI controllers are in this host at all? Passthrough or paravirtual controllers?

    Close to real world throughput is possible. I am using a media server in a virtual machine and it works pretty well. The SCSI controller dedicated to the tape library is presented paravirtualized for the virtual machine. Flow 4 GB per minute constantly (real world of max. 5 GB/min.). A passthrough controller would make probably even much better.

    But there are some differences between your config and mine. I use a library of tapes LTO4 and paravirtualized dedicated HBA. I read of fiber channel THAT SAN LUNS presented as RDM. And finally and most importantly, my vm is not migrated. It was installed virtual from scratch with only the required drivers.

    Just some thoughts.
