Command to see backup item of OSB tape library disk

Dear Friends ,
Using OSB enterprise manager , I take oracle dump backup into tape library . Now it is very difficult for me to see the backup contents of the library using OEM .
I want to know , is there any command available on OSB (like ls ..) to see the list of backup item from the tape library disk .

Hi shipon_97
This link show information that I think can be very useful:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26569_01/doc.104/e21480/obtool_commands.htm#OBREF151
Here, you can view the commands for the tool obtool.
I hope this can you help.
Regards,

RMAN backup to write on tape and disk in the same time

Hi all,
I want to take backup using RMAN and to have the backup file in a tape and a disk, i know i can allocate channel for tape, or disk. My question is can i use the both disk and tape in an rman backup one time. I mean i want to have rman writing backup file in a local disk and a tape in the same time to have redoundant backup at a tape and local disk.
If some scripts is there, it will be welcome.
Thanks

Does Time Machine backup items on the time machine disk?

If I designate disk B as my Time Machine disk, are items on disk B, that aren't part of what Time Machine puts there, backed up? In other words, can I use a disk for both storage and Time Machine backups and have those stored items backed up too?

If you intend to use disk B as both a Time Machine Backup Disk and a Data disk to hold your files, the only way to do that would be to partion the Disk B volume.
How do I partition an external hard drive ?
When an external is connected to a mac, the computer sees that Hard Drive as a Volume. Paritioning the volume is the ability to "Split" the volume in more parts that are limited by size. Time Machine will use the entire partition of a volume if the whole volume is used as a single partition. If you use the right tools and "Split" the external hard drive in smaller logical volumes then you can comfortably use the external hard drive for both your Time Machine Backups and your Data that you want to carry on an external drive.
The easiest way to partition a volume in more the one partition or logical volumes is to use the Disk Utility application that comes with every mac. Use the Finder to go to your Utilities folder and open Disk Utility, or search for it in Spotlight. Whit Disk Utility you can select your external Hard Drive and either change the partition to add a second one or erase all data on the existing external hard drive and create 2 Partitions that you can adjust in size. Remember Make sure you understand that if you choose to erase the existing external drive to make room for a new partition , that all data present on the external drive will be deleted.
Now that you have your two new partitions you can assign one to Time Machine and use the second one for Data. And with Time Machine Options you will be able to exclude or include your new external data partition to backup to your new Time Machine Backup Partition !

Why can't I see my TV series in my library?

I purchased a TV series in iTunes, and then after I watched it, I deleted it from my computer. However, I can't see the item in my iTunes library to download again. Each episode should at least be listed there with a little cloud icon to download later.
Furthermore, I go to the iTunes Store -> Home -> Purchased -> TV Shows, and it says "You do not have any purchased TV shows available to download." I then navigate the show itself in the iTunes store, and it says it's purchased.
What is going on? Thanks!

Good advice! That purchase was hidden. It's now marked unhidden, but still nothing appears in my library. In fact, for some reason, I can't even seen my cloud music either. Previously, all the music I hadn't downloaded to my computer yet would appear in my library with a little cloud icon. Now those items aren't appearing either. I have tried logging out and in. No hidden purchases. Not sure what else is causing these items not to appear in my library.

Jayesh

Hello Jayesh ,
using db2tapemgr you can display the tape header DB2TAPEMGR.HEADER using
db2tapemgr SHOW TAPE HEADER <tape device>
in "contents:" field you can see , which logfiles are on tape at which position .

HT1766 if i backup how can i see the item that backedup because i am not shure about my note.

1.how can i see whitch item of my ipad were back up because i want to be sure that my note were backup.
2.apple id and i cloud id have to be same or not .i cant see my note in i cloud.
3.how can i go to see my back up in i cloud?

Give a little more time. The time between you initial post and your reply was only six minutes. It was ten minutes between your first reply and your second reply.
You are not addressing Apple here. We are just users like yourself.
The only way to see what is backup in iCloud is to restore you iPod from your iCloud backup
For what is included in backups see:
iTunes: About iOS backups
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
Your Apple ID and iCloud ID do not have to be the same. Notes are associated with your iCloud ID. You have to go to icloud.com and sign in to your iCloud ID to view your Notes.

HT4859 how do you see the items that are backed up to iCloud - I have 4.5 GB that I have used but I cant find where to see those items...help

how do you see the items that are backed up to iCloud - I have 4.5 GB that I have used but I cant find where to see those items...help

That is everything in your iCloud account. Videos and camera roll photos are only included in your backup, the size and content of which you can see on your phone in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage>tap the name of your device under Backup. This will show you the size of "Camera Roll", where these are contained. (You can't see any detail beyond that.) Photo stream photos can only been seen in your photo stream album on your phone, and they don't count against your storage so they aren't part of the 4.5 GB. Everything esle is either in the backup, the items listed in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, or on icloud.com, where you can see your contacts, calendars, etc.

Removing disk backups after implementing Veritas tape backups

I was using RMAN with a catalog to backup to disk. Now we implemented RMAN backups using Veritas tape backup using the same catalog and I want to remove the old disk backups.
When I "crosscheck backup" and "crosscheck archivelog all" then "delete obsolete" it errored with the following:
==================================================================
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of delete command at 08/29/2005 13:53:39
RMAN-06091: no channel allocated for maintenance (of an appropriate type)
================================================================
I assume it is seeing one of the tape backups and wants to detete it.
How can I clearout these unnecessary disk backup sets without causing any problems?
Thank You,
.....Kevin

I found the solution:
RMAN> crosscheck backup;
RMAN> crosscheck archivelog all;
RMAN> delete obsolete device type disk;
-- Assuming redundency was 1 only one set is left in the disk directory...
RMAN> list backup;
-- Find the backup set key which lists the DISK backups.
-- List all the BSKeys
RMAN> delete backupset key1, key2, ..., keyn;
-- The files are gone...

The operation can't be completed because backup items can't be modified.

In my Time Machine backup, I have also stored backups from my previous Mac. They do not appear in the "Star Wars" screen. When I try to delete files I receive the message: "The operation can’t be completed because backup items can’t be modified."
What does this mean, and is there a way to delete said files?
(My Time Machine backup is plugged in and running. The files are not even sent into the Trash, so my question doesn't relate to whether the files will delete from the trashcan, etc.)
Many thanks in advance for any and all help!

While in Time Machine, press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and navigate to the files you want to delete. Right-click or control-click an item. From the popup menu, select Delete All Backups of... Confirm. Exit Time Machine.

2. how do i label the tape for slot 1 - slot 10 by obtool ? how to control osb auto load the tape for next backup ? where to check the log say that next tape is tape-02 ?
thanks ..

hi dcooksey
how do i use list for a tape drive...for example, if you want tape drive A to only use slots 1-10 from obtool or webtool ?
becoz i new to backup solution & osb ( i always use ghost or acronis to clone the image ) , my thinking as below , pls correct me if i am wrong
slot 1 - 10 for daily backup
slot 11-16 for full system backup
slot 17 - 20 reserve ( this tape only use for full system backup before perform any application upgrade patches , )
daily backup mon - fri ( 2 week ) ( no backup on saturday and sunday ) , server application offline
full system backup friday ( 1 , 14 on calendar ) every 2 week perform full system backup after daily backup completed
for upgrade application ,
perform full system backup after daily backup , then release the server to application team to perform upgrading .
so how to set my media family for the above setting ? the slot configuration is control by media family ?
hope you can help ...

Tape Library Concern - Eject & Reinsertion after each backup

Here is what I am currently using.
System overview:
-HP Proliant DL380p Gen 8
-HP D2600 2TB 3G SATA LFF - 24TB Storageworks array
-Quantum Scalar i40
(2) HP LTO-5 tape heads
(25) Licensed slots
Tape library is configured as one partition
Windows 2012 R2 - fully patched
DPM 2012 R2 Data Center Edition with 7/2014 Update Rollup 3
I have used DPM for about 6 years since 2007 version but I have always used stand alone LTO-3 & LTO-5 tape drives. I
have used tape libraries before that time but with a different product.
Here is the scenario I am seeing. Any tapes jobs that are scheduled at the same time will
pull a tape into each tape drive and backups are performed. All is working normal from that perspective. The problem I see is that after each backup is completed the tape is removed from the drive, placed back in the slot, removed again from the
slot and then re-inserted back into the drive to continue with the next backup job that was scheduled at the same time as the previous one.
This seems highly inefficient and time consuming not to mention a lot of extra wear & tear
on the library & tapes. Is this behavior normal? If so, can it be changed? or is it is bug?
I would expect the tape to remain in the tape drive until all backups are completed assuming they
had available capacity and were not off-site ready. It appears if multiple servers are in the same protection group the tape is not removed between these backups. The issue appears to be when the next separate protection group is backed up.
I’d even be up to manually moving the tape and leaving it in the tape in drive but I don’t see
that kind of library control with DPM.
I saw another thread from August where someone mentioned seeing this behavior when doing verifies
on their backups.
Thoughts? PSS call?
Thanks!

I'm seeing that if a protection group consisting of hundreds of small SQL databases is configured for short term disk and long term tape, and configured to use 2 drives, that after EACH DATABASE the tape is rewound and re-slotted, only to be re-inserted
into the drive and fast forwarded to the end for the next database to be written.
If you've got hundreds of databases (many small, like msdn, model, etc) this can push the time out to 3 minutes plus per database taped, even for a 5MB database.
My current workaround is to configure the protection group to only allow the use of a single drive.
Doing so seems to reduce the time per database from 5 minutes down to 30 seconds, presumably just REW and FF tape movement.
Even though the time is reduced, I'm still disappointed the progress between databases doesn't continuously stream. I mean 100 small 5MB databases should only take 7 seconds, if streaming at 70MB/s to tape. Instead it's 30 seconds per 5MB database.
:(

How to set command action for each item in the popupmenuimage

Hi all,
In my canvas application,i used images for popupmenu.Now i have to set command action for each item in that popupmenuimage.I dont know whether it is possible in canvas or not.Can anyone tell me the solution for this .
Thanks,
sourab

Buttons is typical of a c/s application, or, in case of Web Forms, a Java applet. Instead of buttons, you have to use hyperlinks.
See:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/faq/faq_migration.htm#346
The hyperlink wil have to be to a URL that does the insert in the table. This can be a mod_plsql procedure, for instance.

Estimating Size of backup Items taking considerable amount of time?

The part of the Azure Online Backup that does the "estimating size of back items" is taking hours to complete. Is there anyway to speed it up? I want to be backing up files right away, not have to wait for an estimate of size.

Hi,
the message might be little misleading but as part of estimating size of the backup items, we enumerate what all files and directories need to be backed up based on whether they changed from last backup and then start backing them up. if you have huge amount
of files and directories say like a build server then its likely you will be seeing this. We already have a feature request to improve this for such kind of workloads.
Thanks

OSB with a (non-supported) virtual tape library

For testing and learning purposes, I have installed OSB 10.3 and the virtual tape management system mhvtl (http://mhvtl-linux-virtual-tape-library-community-forums.966029.n3.nabble.com/MHVTL-Linux-Virtual-Tape-Library-Getting-Started-td1663811.html). It seems to work quite well apart from one serious shortcoming. If a virtual tape which is already labeled and used as part of a media family is unmounted from the drive, a subsequent re-mount leads to a relabel of the volume whereupon all pieces and any reference to the volume are lost. If the virtual tape is left in the drive, there is no issue - new backups are appended to the end of the volume as one would expect.
Somewhat perversely, when I mount a used tape, OSB correctly identifies it. As soon as I start writing to it though, the volume is re-labeled.
I can overcome the issue by using obtar -z to advance the tape to the end of the volume.
% obtar -zf VDAT72

At this point, any new backup starts writing to the virtual tape at the current position, and existing files on the volume are preserved - no re-label is carried out.
I'd like to debug OSB but when I try to set up debugging on the volume, I get:
$ obtool labelvol obtaropt J drive VDAT72
Error: Label/reuse operation requires that you specify no names or BDFs.
If anyone has some clues, I would be grateful.
