IFOST Blog: How to make restore sessions not disappear
http://blog.ifost.org.au/2015/07/how-to-make-restore-sessions-not.html
Thursday, 23 July 2015. How to make restore sessions not disappear. A client asked me today to help out with an auditing problem. They need to show to their auditors that they have demonstrated the ability to recover from a backup regularly. But by default, Data Protector removes any restore session older than 30 days. I set KeepObsoleteSessions=3650, which means that they will still see their restore sessions 10 years from today. Http:/ www.ifost.org.au/books/#dp. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://blog.ifost.org.au/2015/07/configuring-data-protector-with-ldap.html
Thursday, 30 July 2015. Configuring Data Protector with LDAP. I was happily following the instructions in the Installation guide when I hit a problem: the baseCtxDN that I needed to use had a space in it (OU=Acme Corp) and the Jboss interface doesn't seem to allow you to enter a value with a space in it. The first step (on Windows) is:. Jboss-cli.bat - file=ldapinit.cli. I searched for the following:. Then I added the following the lines:. Gregb" "@LDAP USER" * "admin". Greg Baker is an independent consu...

Tuesday, 2 June 2015. I'll get back to posting on Data Protector and other such topics in a few weeks: in the interim I've been doing a very interesting project which has been taking up pretty much all my time. The project has seen me using the Atlassian. Tool-suite (Jira, Stash, Confluence and so on) for this project and I found myself writing one of my usual silly poems: the court of bamboo.

IFOST Blog: Backing up NFS mounted filesystems
http://blog.ifost.org.au/2015/07/backing-up-nfs-mounted-filesystems.html
Tuesday, 28 July 2015. Backing up NFS mounted filesystems. By default, Data Protector pretends that NFS mounts don't exist. You won't see them when you browse the mounted filesystems of a client machine in the backup specification UI. If you select the whole machine for backup, NFS volumes will be ignored. The file to control this is /opt/omni/lbin/.util. For other platforms, try to find which pattern match in the case statement around those lines happens to match your operating system. Also, there's a v...

http://blog.ifost.org.au/2015/04/data-protector-903-released.html
Monday, 27 April 2015. Data Protector 9.03 released. So far I've only seen notification for HP-UX, but the 9.03 patch bundle has been released. As expected, this is almost entirely a bug-fix release. The only new features are some extensions to encrypted communication and control, and an SSL update. But the bug-fix list is very, very long. I counted around 140 bug fixes, covering Oracle, SQL, StoreOnce, VEPA (especially vmware), omnidbutil, reporting and many, many other areas. AI system that listens to ...

http://blog.ifost.org.au/2014_08_01_archive.html
Friday, 29 August 2014. Details about the schema of the Data Protector internal database. As far as I can tell, HP don't document the schema of the PostgreSQL internal database. What follows is my investigations as I was chasing up a customer for whom thousands of sessions were giving strange results. (When they looked. At a medium and went to the Objects tab to find, the GUI responded with "in order to delete this medium, export it first".). The first one is dp management session. It has a column " name.

Thursday, 16 July 2015. Data Protector books in PDF format for Europe; also it's now possible to buy them (anywhere) using Bitcoin.
