Using ssh to do remote tape backup

I tried to setup a remote tape backup from ServerA to ServerB. The Tape drive is attached to ServerB. I had looked up some document how to setup "no password" login for root using ssh. Both servers had exchange their root public key.
When I tried the command "ssh ServerA ls" from ServerB, it showed me the ls of the "/". I was also able to do the same thing from ServerA.
However, it gave me access deny when I tried to do the following backup command from ServerA
ssh ServerB "/usr/sbin/ufsdump 0uf ServerB:/dev/rmt/0un /dev/rdsk/c0d0t0s0"
Can someone tell me what I had missed in setup the ssh, or is there any problem in the backup command. In my mind I just treated the ssh as rsh when I issued the backup command.
Thanks in advance.

as i understand it, you are trying to dump the /dev/rdsk/c0d0t0s0 from serverA onto the /dev/rmt0un on serverB, right?
hmm, not sure ufsdump has the facility to use ssh. in any case...
**NOTE -- not generally a good idea to allow a password-less login for anybody, even root from another machine; a better way would be to install sudo on the remote machine, and allow a user to be logged into without a password, but only allow that user to run a specific command as root. look up use of ssh "authorized_keys" file for more information on limiting command usage by key...
ok. so you have data on serverA, and you're going to put it on serverB... we'll start with simple. here's a tar command to copy all the files from serverA:/backmeup to serverB:/storeme; i'll use the prompt "serverA>" to signify that we're typing these commands from serverA.
serverA> cd /backmeup
serverA> tar cvf - . | ssh serverB "cd /storeme; tar xvf -"
now, you COULD use that to copy files directly onto tape...
serverA> cd /backmeup
serverA> tar cvf - . | ssh serverB "dd of=/dev/rmt/0"
you may have to play with the block size tho. for that matter, i would THINK that you could do the same for you ufsdump command:
serverA> ufsdump 0uf - /dev/rdsk/c0d0t0s0 | ssh serverB "dd of=/dev/rmt/0un"
but you're going to have to try it to find out...

BRtools Two-Phase-Backup to remote disk and remote tape drive

Hello,
i want to two-phase-backup a SAP-System to a remote disk and from there to a tape drive.
Backup to remote disk works fine, but can i use brtools to write the backup-files from the remote machine to a tape drive that is connected to the remote machine?
I'm using SLES 10 on both machines.
I can't find anything on the SAP Documentation to this. It ist possible to backup to remote disk and to remote tape, but it is not clear that it works when in Phase 1 of the backup the files are written to a remote disk. It seems like i can only tell brtools to backup the files from a local disc to a remote tape-drive, is this right?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
Phil

Hi Nirmal,
thanks for your answer.
But i can do disk to tape Backups, when i choose "Backup of Disk Backup" from BRtools, i see a list of all Backups i wrote to the local disk and can write them to remote tape by using pipe as backup device.
The only thing is, my Backups are stored on a remote disk, and from there it seems i have to write them to tape with cronjobs using a shell script. That's not my favourite solution, but it's ok.
Regards
Phil

How to UPDATE ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0, build 207095 using SSH or VSphere CLI remotely!

Hello Guys,
Over the past few hours I have been posting related questions and I have gotten a little closer to updating my server/host.
I have gone to the ESX Server 3i updates (Embedded and Installer) and I have noticed that the first build for ESX 3i is 207095. Which means that I have not done any updates since the installation. CORRECT!
Now... I have been using "ESX Server 3 Patch Management guide, which instructs us to use esxupdate, but it appears that some of the command in that document is not supported on my host.
This post: vihostupdate35 | VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs ..... Tells me that I will have to use "vihostupdate35" from a remote CLI which I installed but cannot see how to connect to the server as I cannot find any document that shows the syntax etc.
At this point I am confused and frustrated and just need a little more guidance from someone who could point me to a document or copy and past the procedures I need to use to get this update done.
I have downloaded this file to do the UPDATE: "ESXe350-201302401-O-SG.zip" and I have extracted it on the host on a Datastore and copied it to my "/Tmp/ESXi350" folder.
I have also extracted it there as well just in case I need to browse to the extracted folder, and run any command.
Can anyone out there help me with the correct SYNTAX and METHOD to get this update installed?
I can connect with SSH from a windows machine using puTTy.exe as well as I have VSphere CLI installed on another Windows PC and can browse to the "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin" folder to run "vihostupdate35.pl" I can see it in the folder with a "dir" command:

Hi,
I would really appreciate if you could please share with us what is the process to recovery EBS 11i environment to an alternate DR server using the latest tape backup in case any disaster happens to the existing production server.
I need to prepare and test disaster recovery plan document using the latest tape backups.
We have single node EBS 11i environment with Apps and DB installed on the same AIX Unix Server.
We also have full database RMAN backup every night.
The new alternate DR Unix server will have different hostname and IP address.
Thanks in advance.

Copy remote cliboard using SSH

I'd like to SSH to a remote Mac, outside our network, and copy the clipboard back to my local mac.
Is there there some cunning idea that might be suitable, perhaps using pbcopy?

It is possible to set up remote screen sharing to encrypt entire contents not just login name and password through the client side's screen sharing preferences, then just port forward through the server side's port 5900. I don't know what is screen sharing's encryption algorithm, though, so, much like as you suggested, I prefer (and would recommend) to tunnel through public-key-authenticated-(only) ssh on a non-standard port.

Remote access using ssh/vnc

Hi All!
Recently, I have managed to configure my Airport Base station to accept SSH using the port mapping/forwarding feature...
The main goal is to remotely access my mac in the office using SSH and VNC.
I was able to do this however remote Mac is using a high resolution which makes it slow to manage.[really slow].
I am currently using a Windows SSH tool called Putty.. and Real VNC to manage remote mac.
I tried to change the setting of Real VNC to a lower resolution but it would not work..accessing the remote mac will only work if my Windows VNC is set to use the
"Full" colour level.
Is this a windows issue? I haven't tried using a VNC for Mac though..
any other tool that is available out there aside from Apple Remote desktop?
Thanks, All!!!!
DP

so the system server VNC refers to the MAC os x VNC...
No, Vine Server's System Server is Vine Server starting up at boot time and is always running. Vine Server existed before Mac OS X included its own VNC server, so Vine Server's terminology is a bit confusing, but it wasn't when the started using it (it even sounds confusing when I just said it ).
the Vine server itself is the stand alone vnc.
Yes. The Vine Server is a totally separate VNC server implementation. It may be run interactively, or it may be configured to start at system boot time so it is always running (this is the system server mode of Vine Server).
so , OS X's VNC is set to only accept high res..
I do not know if it can ONLY do the resolution of the display, but anytime I've tried to use a VNC client configured for lower resolution, the Mac OS X VNC server has not behaved well. Rather than fight it, I just resort to Vine Server. It has been a rock solid VNC server.
so connecting to the Vine server should be at any port not the 5900as this is the mac os vnc default port.
If you MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE that the Mac OS X VNC server is NOT running, you can use port 5900 for Vine Server, but I find it is safer to just give the Vine Server its own port, and commonly that is port 5901, but the Vine Server can be configured to use any port you desire.
Since I do not use a VNC client on Windows, I can not recommend any clients. However, I have heard of the following:
RealVNC
TightVNC
UltraVNC
I am sure there are others, but not being plugged into Windows culture, my depth of knowledge is very limited.

How to login to remote machine using SSH?

Hi,
I have a requirement where in I am required to connect to a remote machine using SSH and execute some commands, say a tail -100 on some file over there and pull back output data from the remote machine.
I know we can use sockets to connect to remote machines and Runtime.exec to execute external commands. But I am unable to tie together the two of these to achieve whatever I want to do.
Is it possible to somehow connect w/o using a custom server socket? The problem is that there is no concrete list of servers to connect to. It will be decided by the user. So I will not be able to install a server socket on each and every machine.
Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks a lot.
With regards,
Ganesh

Hi,
I am writing a java program that will try to use a SSH client to connect to a remote machine. I do not want to log into every single remote machine to moitor stuff over there.
My plan goes like this:
Have a web application that can connect to a DB for all information regarding remote servers to be monitored.
Based on user selection of a particular server, use data from the DB to connect to the particular remote server and pull in some data.
Hope I am clear enough now. Thanks a lot.

Ufsrestore root filesystem from remote tape drive

If disk is replaced and I want to restore root filesystem, should I be able to access a remote tape drive to do this?
i.e when I do
boot cdrom -s, should I be able to access the nework? Or is that not posible with root filesystem installed?

Well, when you boot a machine into single user mode from a CD or DVD, it will not automatically configure the network, but you can do this by using normal ifconfig commands.
Before doing the restore you will have to create a new filesystem on the disk by runnings newfs and then mount it as /a or similar .
You can perform an ufsrestore from a remote machine by specifying the remote machines tape drive as the path to restore from, e.g.:
ufsrestore if <user>@<remote server>:<tape device>
for example, to do an interactive restore from a remote tape::
ufsrestore if admin@remote-server:/dev/rmt/1
.. one drawback with this is that ufsrestore probably rely on rsh to communicate with the remote server, so you might need to enable rsh and configure a .rhosts file for the user.
You can probably pipe the tape over ssh as well, with something such as:
ssh <user>@<remote-server> "dd if=/dev/rmt/1 ibs=1024" | (cd /a ; ufsrestore xf -)
.7/M.

Remote tape drive

I have system taht only has a tape drive attached to the SMC. Can you use a remote tape drive under solaris 10? do you nfs the tape drive? how do you connect to a remote tape drive?

Well, when you boot a machine into single user mode from a CD or DVD, it will not automatically configure the network, but you can do this by using normal ifconfig commands.

Once and for all: How to set up and use SSH

Yes, I know ssh has been discussed on and off, but never in its entirety; and yes, there are step by step instructions on the www, but at one point or another they skip a crucial instruction that would be necessary for unix-dummies (e.g. how to save and close the nano-editor in Terminal). So, please pardon my question:
There are several points I'd like to ask for ssh-connecting two macs on a local network:
1) In terminal-file-"connect to server" you can ask for an ssh connection to be set up. For this to work, do I need to create private and public keys first? If so, how? Please point me to a reliable and step-by-step instruction site.
There are some free ssh-utilities out there, but their documentation is just not helpful enough for a UNIX-dummy.
2) Apparently I managed to connect via ssh once (from the terminal, see point 1) to a local server (allowing remote connection set to ON at the server). But then, when I connected to that server from the client's finder and tried to get into my user account on that server it told me that no secure connection could be established. What's wrong here? Do I have to continue working from within the terminal to use this connection? That would be difficult for an average MacUser.
3) What is the security advantage of an SSH connection on a local wireless network (Airport Base Station) over WPA2, if at all?
4) And how to set up an ssh-connection over the internet cloud to safely build a remote control/desktop sharing connection, e.g., a friend's Mac when she has a problem?
Thanks for your consideration.

First I'm not sure what your goals are.
1) In terminal-file-"connect to server" you can ask for an ssh connection to be set up. For this to work, do I need to create private and public keys first?
If you have ssh keys, you can do this without passwords. If you have not exchanged keys with the remote system, you will be asked for the password of the user you are attempting to login as.
If so, how? Please point me to a reliable and step-by-step instruction site. There are some free ssh-utilities out there, but their documentation is just not helpful enough for a UNIX-dummy.
Log into the remote system. This could be via ssh.
On the remote system, run the following command to generate an ssh key for that remote system:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/username/.ssh/id_rsa): <<take default>>
Created directory '/Users/username/.ssh'.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): <<enter nothing>>
Enter same passphrase again: <<enter nothing again>>
Your identification has been saved in /Users/username/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /Users/username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff:gg:hh:ii:jj:kk:ll:mm:nn:oo:pp [email protected]
This will generate an ssh key for the remote system. This could be any system that support ssh, such as a Unix system, or another Mac.
Copy the id_rsa.pub file from the remote system to your Mac. When I say "your Mac" I mean the one that you want to make the ssh connection from. The id_rsa.pub is found in the remote system's ~username/.ssh/ directory.
Append the copied id_rsa.pub to your Mac's ~himbear/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file
cat id_rsa.pub >>~himbear/.ssh/authorized_keys2
Now when you ssh to that specific remote system, it will NOT ask for a password. The first time you ssh to any system, ssh will ask if the system is really the system you thing it is. But once you say "yes", it will not ask that question again.
Repeat for every remote system you wish to log into using an ssh key.
2) Apparently I managed to connect via ssh once (from the terminal, see point 1) to a local server (allowing remote connection set to ON at the server). But then, when I connected to that server from the client's finder and tried to get into my user account on that server it told me that no secure connection could be established. What's wrong here? Do I have to continue working from within the terminal to use this connection? That would be difficult for an average MacUser.
MacUser. A flash from the past, as in the MacUser magazine.
ssh is not used by default when you make connections. If you want an ssh connection, you have to establish it intentionally.
ssh can be used to pre-establish a tunnel (or tunnels) that other services can use. Once an ssh tunnel is establish, connections to local host's tunnel port will be connected to the specified remote port. For example:
ssh -L 5901:localhost:5900 [email protected]
will establish a tunnel that VNC can use. The VNC client would connect to localhost display 1 or port 5901.
ssh allows multiple -L tunnels to be specified on the ssh command line.
3) What is the security advantage of an SSH connection on a local wireless network (Airport Base Station) over WPA2, if at all?
Inside you home. Not much. Unless of course you do not trust the other members of your family. That is to say, others having your WPA2 password, and are thus on the inside, and can sniff you packets.
4) And how to set up an ssh-connection over the internet cloud to safely build a remote control/desktop sharing connection, e.g., a friend's Mac when she has a problem?
If you are using the Mac OS X Leopard built-in *Screen Sharing* and you are connecting to another Mac's built-in Leopard System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Management (Tiger's Apple Remote Desktop), then in the *Screen Sharing* preferences, is an "Encrypt all network data" option.
If you wish to set this option in advance, you can launch *Screen Sharing* by double clicking on System -> Library -> CoreServices -> Screen Sharing.app
You can *Screen Sharing* connections over the net using iChat. This is one of the easiest ways to take control of their system. Of course they need to cooperate. I use a Free AOL Instant Messager (AIM) account for my iChat connections. And as a side benefit you can text, audio chat and/or video chat with the person at the other end.
If you are NOT using the build-in Mac OS X *Screen Sharing* and/or you are NOT using the build-in remote Mac OS X remote management server, then this is a situation where an ssh tunnel would be a very good idea.
However, setting up an ssh tunnel between 2 systems across the internet gets complex.
In this case you might want to consider using something like LogMeIn.com which will deal with all those nasty home routers without needing to to do nasty router configurations, and it will be a secure connection. LogMeIn.com will not be as fast as a *Screen Sharing* connection or a VNC connection, but it will be secure and easy to establish. Again, this is only if you can not to Mac to Mac *Screen Sharing* using built-in Mac OS X remote desktop.
Now if you want to roll your own ssh tunnels for VNC, then I'm just going to outline the things you need to do.
If the remote system is behind a home router, you need to configure that remote home router to "Port Forward" port 22 on the Internet side to port 22 on the target Mac. Bonus points if the internet side using a high number port to discourge net bots from knocking on your door. Use the ssh -p 12345 option to connect to the high numbered port that is forwarded to port 22 of the destination Mac.
On the remote Mac you need to run a VNC server. If this is a Mac, then Leopard System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Management (Tiger's Apple Remote Desktop). If it is not a Mac, then for Windows, TightVNC, UltraVNC, RealVNC are possible options. Linux has a built-in vncserver, or you can install x11vnc which has the advantage of displaying the desktop screen.
Once you can access the remote system, you use an ssh command like the following:
ssh -p 12345 -L 5901:localhost:5900 remote.system.address
You can get the remote system's address by having the remote system surf over to http://whatismyip.com. Then they can tell you the IP address.
If you are going to be doing this a lot, you can get a free no-ip.com or dyndns.org dynamic DNS name for the remote system, and the remote system can run a dynamic DNS client (available from no-ip.com or dyndns.org) which will keep the dynamic DNS name updated as the remote person's ISP change's their IP address.
Finally, now that you have an ssh tunnel for VNC traffic, you have your VNC client connect to
Address: localhost
Port: 5901
Depending on your VNC client you may need to specify Display 1 instead of Port 5901. Or if you do not get a Display or Port option you specify localhost:5901

Low Network Utilization in Remote Disk Backup via SAP FTP

Hi gurus,
I'm running whole online backup + redo log to backup my SAP server to backup server via SAPFTP (remote disk backup).
I'm using 100Mbps network connection between the two servers, with SAP server configured to 'maximize data throughput for network application'.
When I copy data from SAP Server to backup server manually, the speed is OK (around 98% network utilization).
But when I use put command in program RSFTP002 (SAPFTP) for the same file, the network utilization is just around 10%.
I use Windows Server 2003 x64 for SAP Server, and Windows Server 2008 x64 for Backup Server.
Each has adequate RAM, 8GB for SAP Server and 4GB for Backup Server.
Is this technical problem or is it because backup is considered background process, thus lowering its speed?
Help will be very much appreciated.

go read http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/0d/d311324a0c11d182b80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
it's old but should help you nonetheless.
I would not use SAPFTP as you found out, it is slow.
use DD instead which is much faster.

How to include another partition in tape backup

Hi
I use a shell script written by my sysadmin to take backup of our oracle system on tape. now i moved some datafiles on another partition and hence want to include that partition also in tape backup.
for fs in $(cat /tmp/dailybkupfs | awk '{print $1}')
do
# For / replace the / with root for log filename
if [[ "$fs" = "/" ]]
then
fn="root"
else
# replace any / in fs name with _ for use in log filename
fn=$(echo $fs | sed 's:/::g')
fi
if umount ${fs}
then
echo "${fs} unmounted successfully" >>/tmp/logs/summary
else
echo "${fs} unmount failed" >>/tmp/logs/summary
fi
if ufsdump 0uf prddb:/dev/rmt/0n ${fs} >${log}.${fn}.${dt} 2>&1
then
echo "Full Backup of ${fs} completed successfully" >> /tmp/logs/summary
else
echo "Full Backup of ${fs} failed" >> /tmp/logs/summary
fi
if mount ${fs}
then
echo "${fs} mounted successfully" >>/tmp/logs/summary
else
echo "${fs} mount failed" >>/tmp/logs/summary
fi
done
echo "Full Backup of all DB file systems Complete" >> /tmp/logs/summary
Also the dailybkupfs file has the following contents->
/u01
/u02
/u03
/u04
/u05
/u06
Now to include /u07 partition for backup, I just need to include the /u07 partition in file dailybkupfs.right?
Thanks

I am concerned that the config file resides in /tmp.
That filesystem normally gets cleared if the box reboots.
So as far as I can tell, if your box is rebooted, the backups stop working..
