Important Notes
Contacting VERITAS Customer Support
Before calling customer support, please gather as much log information as possible. Be
sure to have the following information ready:
◆ NetBackup version
◆ Operating system version of the NetBackup master and media server and NetBackup
ServerFree Agent client
◆ Note whether or not the action that failed had ever worked, and whether the problem
is repeatable
◆ Log information
Important Notes
◆ The disk containing the client’s data (the files to back up) must be a SCSI or Fibre
Channel device if you are using offhost backup (NetBackup Media Server or
Third-Party Copy Device).
◆ The disk containing the client’s data must be visible to both the NetBackup client and
the NetBackup media server if you are using offhost backup. The disk can be
connected through SCSI or fibre channel.
◆ For offhost backup, a disk device must be able to return its SCSI serial number in
response to a serial-number inquiry (serialization), or the disk must support SCSI
Inquiry Page Code 83.
◆ When configuring offhost backup (Third-Party Copy Device or NetBackup Media
Server), a particular storage unit or group of storage units must be specified for the
policy—do not choose Any_available. For offhost backup configuration instructions,
refer to “Configuring a Backup Method” in the “NetBackup Configuration” chapter.
◆ The storage_unit_name portion of a mover.conf.storage_unit_name file name
must exactly match the actual storage unit name (such as nut-4mm-robot-tl4-0)
that you have defined for the policy. See “Naming the Mover File” on page 64 for help
creating a mover.conf.storage_unit_name file.
Similarly, the policy_name portion of a mover.conf.policy_name file name must
match the actual name of the policy that the third-party copy device is to be associated
with.
◆ For the TimeFinder, ShadowImage, or BusinessCopy frozen image methods, the
client data must reside in a device group, with the data on the primary disk and
synchronized with a mirror disk. Assistance from the disk array vendor may also be
required. Refer to the chapter titled “Extended Frozen Image Services (Array
Integration Option).”
