MARS backup

Hello all
Getting a MARS tuned, building reports,user rules, etc....takes a significant amount of time and effort.
So I was wondering, is there anyway to back up the MARS configuration?
And NO...I am NOT referring to the data from devices. We already have our devices logging to Kiwi separately.
Also, I am NOT referring to the entry of devices. We don't have that many so manually re-entering them wouldn't be that big a pain.
So, will doing an NFS archive back up the MARS OS/configuration as well as the logged data?
Does anyone know the anwser to this?

NFS archiving does a decent job backing up the config as well as the data. However, retoring the data is painful. Restoring the config is very simple and works well. Lookup in the docs on the pnrestore command.
Restoring data, depending on the size and amount of data you want to restore, takes a tremendous amount of time, and really has minimal configurable options. But as it is designed, it functions.
There are a few options for the pnrestore...
the pnrestore -m (Restoring mode. Enter 1 (default) to restore config only, 2 to restore both config and events, or 5 to restore config from local image.) gives you the option to restore config only or data as well.
Here is a sample of the pnrestore command:
pnrestore -m 1 -p nfs_server_ip:/nfs_export/pnarchive -t 06/03/03:0

  • Black Screen After Fans Run at Maximum

    Hello,
    I inherited an iMac and it an issue. It boots up fine but within the first five minutes the fans start to slowly ramp up to full speed. After about five to ten minutes of the fans running at full speed the screen goes black and I lose control of the computer. I cannot see anything on the screen, not even the cursor moving. I am also not able to shut down the computer using keyboard shortcuts. I have to hold down the power button.
    The computer actually is still working to some degree after the screen goes blank because I have had a video playing from a USB stick and I could still hear the audio after the screen blacked out. I once had a Youtube video playing via the WiFi and when the screen went black the sound stopped.
    I took the computer apart thinking that maybe it was full of dust. There was very little dust and blowing it out did not make a difference.
    I have done a SMC reset and and a NVRAM reset and neither made a difference.
    I installed a temperature monitor and the following is the output in degrees F a little before the computer goes to a black screen:
    AC/DC Supply: 99
    Airport Card: 141
    Ambient Air: 76
    CPU Heatsink: 93
    GPU Die: 262
    GPU Heatsink: 254
    GPU Proximity: 223
    Hard Drive Body: 102
    LCD Proximity 94
    Misc: 103
    Optical Drive: 99
    When the computer is running properly all four diagnostic LEDs on the logic board are lit. When the display goes black LED number 4 turns off leaving the other 3 on. Based on the Mac diagnostic instructions, if the fourth LED is off the issue is with the LCD panel or there is no video signal being generated.
    I suspect that the video card is not working properly due to the high temperatures. It looks like the heat from the die is making it to the heatsink so I think that the thermal paste on the GPU is okay.
    The computer is an iMac model EMC2134
    OS X 10.8.5
    24" Core 2 Duo with ATI Radeon HD2600 256 MB video card
    I also ran EtreCheck and the output is below.
    I would like to repair the computer even though it is old. I however do not want to bring it in to a repair shop. What do you think is the issue and what leads you to that conclusion?
    Thank you,
    jbr

    As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosened. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not bluetooth. Insert power cord...
    You are now in a perfect position to do a
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

  • Backup mars configuration only

    hi all! we want to backup only the mars configuration. cant find how to do this. thanks in advance! michael

    Are you using PNEXP currently? The only issue I found with the approach was that the services do not restart after the PNEXP command runs (not even with a pnstart command). TAC says this is normal and that PNEXP shouldn't be used for config backup (though it seems odd that on the GEN2 appliances the command just became available in the 6.x train).
    We've temporarily worked around it by using an expect script to run the PNEXP command once a week which then reboots the MARS when its complete.

  • CS-Mars NFS Backup

    Dear all,
    i am using NFS sharing folder(located on a server) in order to backup cs-mars events.
    the space on the server is full, i tried to extend the server with an external hard disk(usb connection) where i created an NSF sharing folder, but solution failed.
    it seem the folder should be located on an internal hard disk.
    so i have to add and connect a new hard disk on board. any other suggestion?
    one more thing, i am trying to move NFS shared folder containts to a new location, but cuting files is not allowed. i stoped the nfs sharing on the folder but the same issue (not allowed). i changed the nfs folder to a new folder with cs-mars, but also i am not able to cut or delete the files on the first nfs sharing.
    please advice how may i delete those files. (one pna file is kept on all day folders and i am not allowed to delete it, access is denied).
    thank you

    Hello
    If its  a Windows box, download something like Proccess Explorer and find the file/handle locking the NFS archive files and then stop that process, you can then copy/move them anywhere you like
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653
    For *nix, check the file permissions (ls command) and then use chmod to modify accordingly

  • Mac Crashes in the middle of Time Capsule backup --HELP!

    Been using time capsule for several months without any issues. In fact, it has been great until recently. A week or so ago, my MacBookPro began crashing in the middle of a time capsule back up. Just suddenly the MAC curtain comes down and tells me I must restart. When I restart I get an error message which I have copied into this message. I tried erasing a whole months worth of backups but still get the same problem........is it possible my MAC has gotten a virus?? Anyone who can help, your comments would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Got this problem fixed. It seems the 10.5.3 update corrupted the update somehow. You can perform a disk image repair on the existing backup or just delete all your old back ups and start from scratch which is exactly what I did. Good luck!

  • "No such file or directory" errors on Time Machine backup volume

    I remotely mounted the Time Machine backup volume onto another Mac and was looking around it in a Terminal window and discovered what appeared to be a funny problem. If I "cd" into some folders (but not all) and do a "ls -la" command, I get a lot of "No such file or directory" errors for all the subfolders, but all the files look fine. Yet if I go log onto the Mac that has the backup volume mounted as a local volume, these errors never appear for the exact same location. Even more weird is that if I do "ls -a" everything appears normal on both systems (no error messages anyway).
    It appears to be the case that the folders that have the problem are folders that Time Machine has created as "hard links" to other folders which is something that Time Machine does and is only available as of Mac OS X 10.5 and is the secret behind how it avoids using up disk space for files that are the same in the different backups.
    I moved the Time Machine disk to the second Mac and mounted the volume locally onto it (the second Mac that was showing the problems), so that now the volume is local to it instead of a remote mounted volume via AFP and the problem goes away, and if I do a remote mount on the first Mac of the Time Machine volume the problem appears on the first Mac system that was OK - so basically by switching the volume the problem switches also on who shows the "no such file or directory" errors.
    Because of the way the problem occurs, ie only when the volume is remote mounted, it would appear to be an issue with AFP mounted volumes that contain these "hard links" to folders.
    There is utility program written by Amit Singh, the fella who wrote the "Mac OS X Internals" book, called hfsdebug (you can get it from his website if you want - just do a web search for "Mac OS X Internals hfsdebug" if you want to find it ). If you use it to get a little bit more info on what's going on, it shows a lot of details about one of the problematic folders. Here is what things look like on the first Mac (mac1) with the Time Machine locally mounted:
    mac1:xxx me$ pwd

    mac1:xxx me$ ls -a

    152 -rw-r--r--@ 1 me staff 7717 Dec 17 10:54 A9.txt
    So you can see from the first few lines of the "ls -a" command, it shows some file/folders but you can't tell which yet. The next "ls -la" command shows which names are files and folders - that there are some folders (like ACPI) and some files (like A.txt and A9.txt) and all looks normal. And the "hfsdebug" info shows some details of what is really happening in the "Documents" folder, but more about that in a bit.
    And here are what a "ls -a" and "ls -al" look like for the same locations on the second Mac (mac2) where the Time Machine volume is remote mounted:
    mac2:xxx me$ pwd

    If you look very close a hint as to what is going on is obvious - the inode for the Documents folder is 152 on the local mounted case (the first set of code above for mac1), and it's 728505 in the remote mounted case for mac2. So it appears that these "hard links" to folders have an extra level of folder that is hidden from you and that AFP fails to take into account, and that is what the "hfsdebug" shows even better as you can clearly see the REAL location of the Documents folder is in something called "/.HFS+ Private Directory Data%000d/dir_135" that is not even visible to the shell. And if you look closely in the remote mac2 case, when I did the "cd Documents" I don't go into the inode 135, but into the inode 728505 (look close at the "." entry for the "ls -la" commands on both mac1 and mac2) which is the REAL problem, but have no idea how to get AFP to follow the extra level of indirection.
    Anyone have any ideas how to fix this so that "ls -l" commands don't generate these "no such file or folder" messages?
    I am guessing that the issue is really something to do with AFP (Apple File Protocol) mounted remote volumes. The TimeMachine example is something that I used as an example that anyone could verify the problem. The real problem for me has nothing to do with Time Machine, but has to do with some hard links to folders that I created on another file system totally separate from the Time Machine volume. They exhibit the same problem as these Time Machine created folders, so am pretty sure the problem has nothing to do with how I created hard links to folders which is not doable normally without writing a super simple little 10 line program using the link() system call - do a "man 2 link" if you are curious how it works.
    I'm well aware of the issues and the conditions when they can and can't be used and the potential hazards. I have an issue in which they are the best way to solve a problem. And after the problem was solved, is when I noticed this issue that appears to be a by-product of using them.
    Do not try these hard links to folders on your own without knowing what they're for and how to use them and not use them. They can cause real problems if not used correctly. So if you decide to try them out and you loose some files or your entire drive, don't say I didn't warn you first.
    Thanks ...

    The problem is Mac to Mac - the volume that I'm having the issue with is not related in any way to Time Machine or to TimeCapsule. The reference to TIme Machine is just to illustrate the problem exists outside of my own personal work with hard links to folders on HFS Extended volumes (case-sensitive in this particular case in case that matters).
    I'm not too excited about the idea of snooping AFP protocol to discover anything that might be learned there.
    The most significant clue that I've seen so far has to do with the inode numbers for the two folders shown in the Terminal window snippets in the original post. The local mounted case uses the inode=728505 of the problematic folder which is in turn linked to the hidden original inode of 135 via the super-secret /.HFS+... folder that you can't see unless using something like the "hfsdebug" program I mentioned.
    The remote mounted case uses the inode=728505 but does not make the additional jump to the inode=135 which is where lower level folders appear to be physically stored.
    Hence the behavior that is seen - the local mounted case is happy and shows what would be expected and the remote mounted case shows only files contained in the problem folder but not lower-level folders or their contents.
    From my little knowledge of how these inode entries really work, I think that they are some sort of linked list chain of values, so that you have to follow the entire chain to get at what you're looking for. If the chain is broken somewhere along the line or not followed correctly, things like this can happen. I think this is a case of things not being followed correctly, as if it were a broken chain problem then the local mounted case would have problems also.
    But the information for this link in the chain is there (from 728505 to the magic-135) but for some reason AFP doesn't make this extra jump.
    Yesterday I heard back from Apple tech support and they have confirmed this problem and say that it is a "implementation limitation" with the AFP client. I think it's a bug, but that will have to be up to Apple to decide now that it's been reported. I just finished reporting this as a bug via the Apple Bug Reporter web site -- it's bug id 8926401 if you want to keep track it.
    Thanks for the insights...

  • Backup with Data Protector is not working

    Hello,
    [US]We have an Oracle DB which is saved by HP Data Protector
    [FR]Nous avons une BDD Oracle qui est sauvegardée via HP DataProtector.
    [US]During our last backup, the Data Protector Server has crashed which has stopped the backup during the process.
    [FR]Lors de la dernière sauvegarde, le serveur de backup a planté, arrêtant de ce fait la sauvegarde en cours de la BDD Oracle.
    [US]Now, when we are trying to relaunch the backup, it doesn't work at all.
    The Data Protector agent is starting, it sends the RMAN command to the DB and then stop.
    [FR]Maintenant, lorsque nous voulons relancer la sauvegarde, elle ne fonctionne plus.
    L'agent démarre bien, il envoie bien la commande à RMAN qui démarre puis s'arrête.
    [US] Of we launch the backup manually thru RMAN, it works
    [FR]Lorsqu'on lance cette même sauvegarde manuellement via RMAN, elle fonctionne !
    [US]Lors are not really explicit !

    Hello,
    No disconnection at all.
    It doesn't work since a crash of the DP server during the DB backup.
    When we move the catalog on the same server as the DB, the backup works but if we set the catalog to an other server (like the original setting) it doesn't work and we don't know why.
    It seems that when a backup is launched thru Data Protector, RMAN can't find the DB catalog. But if we run (manually) the RMAN command that DP used to do a backup, it works...

    Hello,
    Legato log files might tell you more about the root cause.
    And here's just a guess: Files permissions have to be considered as well. Did you do backup and restore as the same operating system user? If users are different, then different permissions may be a problem.

  • Recovering lost data from a very old backup (disaster recovery)

    Hi all,
    I am trying to restore and recover data from an old DAT-72 cassette. All I know is the date when the backup was taken, that is back in November 2006. I do not know the DBID or anything else except for the date.
    To recover this, I bought an internal SCSI HP c7438a DAT-72 tape drive on eBay and installed it on a machine running Windows 2003 Server SP2. I made a fresh Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition installation. HP tape drivers have been installed and Windows sees the tape drive without problem. To act as a Media Manager, I have installed Oracle Secure Backup. Oracle Secure Backup sees the HP tape drive without problems as well.
    I have to admit my information about Oracle is not very in-depth. I read quite a lot of documents, but the more I read the more confused I become. The closest thing I can find to my situation is the following guide about disaster recovery:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10500_01/server.920/a96566/rcmrecov.htm#1007948
    I tried the suggestions in this document without success (details below).
    My questions are:
    1. Is it possible to retrieve data without knowing the DBID?
    2. If not, is it possible to figure out the DBID from the tape? I tried to use dd in cygwin, also booted with Knoppix/Debian and Ubuntu CDs to dump the contents of the tape with dd but all of them failed to see the tape device. If there is any way to dump the raw contents of the tape on Windows, I would also welcome input.
    3. Is there any way at all to recover this data from the tape given all the unknowns?
    Thanks very much in advance,

    Hi 845725,
    If the backups were created with OSB might be you can query the tape with obtool.
    http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10gR2/backup.102/b14236/obref_oba.htmTo list pieces you could use <lspiece> within obtool.
    http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10gR2/backup.102/b14236/obref_oba.htm#BHBBIFFEIf this works you should be able to identify the controlfile autobackup if it has the standard naming < c-dbid-date-xx > and you than know the DBID or you are able to restore a controlfile from a backup piece in the output list.
    Might be you have to install 9i or 10g rdbms software as 11g was released a year later in 2007.
    Anyway goodluck.
    Regards,
    Tycho

  • I do not have a backup from Mavericks, but Yosemite is causing too many problems. In LAYMAN'S terms, is there a way to get Mavericks back without losing all my files?

    I updated to Yosemite while I was overseas and didn't have strong enough internet to do a Time Machine backup (it took hours to get Yosemite as it was and now I know that was dumb). Yosemite has made my older Mac almost un-usable. In LAYMAN'S terms, Is there a way I can go back to Mavericks or even an older system without losing my current files? I know nothing about computers and have not been able to find anyone in town that could help. Even the guy at the Genius Bar at Apple couldn't figure out how to help me. This whole Yosemite debacle has been the first time I've been disappointed in Apple. It has gotten me questioning whether I should go back to a PC.

    This is the report. Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 2 found to restore
    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 1 found to restoreSO MY QUESTION OR DOUBT IS WHY AT THE END IT FAILS THAT THERE IS NO BACKUP FOR DATAFILE 1,2,3,4 ??? AS WE CAN SEE ABOVE IT IS PRESENT IN MY BACKUPSET ??
    ANY IDEA /HINTS/TIPS ?
    I searched on google and somebody mentioned to a similar case that it could be a problem with 'CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF' where as in my case i have set it to 'CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON'
    Somehow looks like that the control file is not having latest backup info ... :-( I already took a fresh backup 2 times and landed up in same issue.. not sure where i am doing a mistake.
    Regards
    Learner

    No replies ... :-(
    Meanwhile i also looked in the trace file folder to see if there are any clues. here goes the content of alert_log.file

  • Control File Backups

    Hello-
    I was looking over some configurations that was setup by another DBA.
    There are 3 control files created but they all are on the same disk/directory.
    Control file auto backup is on to tape.
    If there was a hardware failure and all three control were corrupted/lost then a backup would be used but
    full recovery and RESETLOGS would be needed which would lead to redo data loss.
    If I configured 1 control file on a seperate disk. I would be able to copy this one and create 3 files again and the database
    would be started again without needing recovery if all else was fine.
    If the control keeps track of redo logs SCN, Archive logs history and RMAN backups when these change then wouldn't another control file backup/ trace need to be done ?
    Control File Trace only alllows to rebuild the database not to copy. How often is the need to taken ? Every change in the database ?
    Backup to the Flash Recovery is another backup not an updated copy to copy from but to restore/recovery with.
    Do have have these theories correct and my best setup would to send at least one to another disk.
    Thanks-

    If there was a hardware failure and all three control were corrupted/lost then a backup would be used but
    full recovery and RESETLOGS would be needed which would lead to redo data loss. No. If you lose all three controlfiles, you either
    a. RESTORE a backup of the controlfile
    OR
    b. CREATE CONTROLFILE (from a script)
    In either case, you do NOT need to do an INCOMPLETE Recovery. You will be doing a COMPLETE Recovery (if you have the Online Redo Logs). However, an OPEN RESETLOGS is still required. The %r in the log_archive_format since 10g allows ArchiveLogs to be retained through ResetLogs.
    If the control keeps track of redo logs SCN, Archive logs history and RMAN backups when these change then wouldn't another control file backup/ trace need to be done ? If you RESTORE the controlfile you lose no information. However, you still have to OPEN RESETLOGS.
    If you do a CREATE CONTROLFILE, yes, you lose information about ArchiveLogs history and RMAN Backups.
    You can issue a CATALOG command to re-catalog available Backups.
    Control File Trace only alllows to rebuild the database not to copy.A Control File Trace is to recreate the Controlfile. Not rebuild the database.
    Backup to the Flash Recovery is another backup not an updated copy to copy from but to restore/recovery with. I don't understand what your statement or question might be here.
