SAP Note 378648 - Offline backup support with Oracle Fail Save

I am trying to implement SAP Note 378648 - Offline backup support with Oracle Fail Save, but am unsure about part of the solution....
Basically, I have to add several parameters into the Environment Variables of the MS Clustered Servers running Windows Server 2003 for the user xidadm...
Fairly straight forward apart from one parameter....
BR_OFS_DOMAIN=<domain>
I am unsure what is required/meant by domain. Can anyone shed some light??

Those are environment variables of the Windows user who is running brbackup; usually this is SAPService<SID>.
You have to set this variables the same way as you set ORACLE_HOME and so on.
(I am not sure about the details; never worked with MS cluster.)
hope this helps

Backup Exec with NSS 300 series

We've just got hold of a NSS 324 with two disks
installed, and need to back it up via Backup Exec 12.5 has
anyone outhere actually done this ?
I can map a drive to the share on the NSS box but Backup Exec can't see it
Server OS Windows Server 2003
NSS Firmware 1.0.0

I haven't used backup exc with the NSS324, but I did see the firmware you are currently running on is the initial release and they have been 3 updated releases since then with a updated Samba client included so I would recommend upgrading to the latest firmware.
Thanks,

RMAN Automatic backup/recovery with oracle fail safe, windows cluster

Hello,
I have question,
1) Whether it is possible to do "RMAN Automatic Backup and recovery" in environment as ?
Environment: -
a. Windows clustering with windows server 2003 Enterprise Edition R2 (Two Node Clustering)
b. Shared disk ( RAID )
c. Oracle 10g standard edition one
d. Oracle fail safe v3.3.3 (for redundancy)
Here we have single oracle instance operating on single database whose files are located on shared disk.
2) If answer to above question is yes please specify if there is some good documentation to it.
Any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rahul

You just need to make sure that the RMAN scripts are always able to connect to the target database instance whether instance runs on cluster node 1 or cluster node 2
here, If oracle services(resources) will shift from Node1 to Node2 (due to media or any failure) during RMAN Backup then there will be break in connection, will it destroy my backup or will it get started automatically without any harm?
and also I want to know,
Do we need to setup another server which will have RMAN backup script running?

Any new backup strategy with Oracle VM 3.1 ?

Now, since Oracle VM 3.1 was released, could we be updated with backup strategy.
Backing up OCFS2 repositories allow us protect OVF files right?, but what happen with apps runing on VMs, these data is also backed up? what about open files, databases, etc.
I will appreciate any comment.
Thanks in advance.

try running this on each server:

Interface RMAN with BACKUP EXEC

Hi,
I want to backup my database on tape with backup exec but i don't know the parameters to put on init.ora.
Thanks

Possibly 2 parameters (depends on the environment, refer to your MML documentation):
RMAN utilizes the LARGE_POOL area of the SGA for allocating
memory for input/output buffers.
The LARGE_POOL is only used if I/O Slaves are specified by one or
both of the initialization parameters DBWR_IO_SLAVES or BACKUP_TAPE_IO_SLAVES.
If DBWR_IO_SLAVES has a non-zero value and/or BACKUP_TAPE_IO_SLAVES is set to TRUE,
then RMAN uses the LARGE_POOL because the I/O Slave Processes must coordinate their
buffer read/writes in a common area. If no value for LARGE_POOL_SIZE is set in the init.ora file,
and if I/O slaves are configured to be used, then RMAN uses the SHARED_POOL for
input and output buffers. This can put severe strain on the Shared Pool,
and should be avoided. This is often indicated by RMAN receiving an ora-4031
error from the target database.

Unable to restore SharePoint farm with Backup Exec - Farm Topolgy appears to be locked and job repeatedly fails

Hi All
I'm attempting a full restore of a SharePoint 2010 farm, single server housed on the same server as the SQL server that holds the SharePoint databases. Backup and restore is via Backup Exec, the backup job was carried out via BE 2012 and the Restore is via
BE 2104. The server I'm attempting to restore to has also been restored by using the system state and a copy of the drives from the original source server - hence its pretty much a clone of the source server.
Irrespective of the account used to run the restore job I'm seeing repeated failures with the error "Unable to lock the Microsoft SharePoint Farm Topology. You must unlock the farm topology and retry the job".
By restoring the admin databases directly by taking a SQL backup of the source databases and restoring these to the server I'm attempting to restore SharePoint to I have succeeded in bringing the SharePoint admin console back to
life, none of the sites are in a locked state, and they can be locked and unlocked both via the admin console or via Powershell. Locking and unlocking the makes no difference.
Any ideas where I can look to from here, could the above error be a cryptic Backup Exec error that doesn't actually mean what it says?

Hi,
Reviewing the DPMRACurr log on the target server during the Date/Time of restore may assist with potential paths to why the job is failing. The logs can be found in the
following path on the target server <DPM Install path>/Program Files Microsoft Data Protection Manager/DPM/Temp
The logs may uncover why we face the current issue. For example the following “ATTACH " – Failed <and also reason why>
Also the DPM server MSDPMCurr log during the Date/Time of restore may also assist with the issue you face. For example the following may be seen “MountDatabaseFailed”
Also note the below process is carried out with the method of restore which was used.
DPM restores the DB to the destination SQL server once the DB is attached, then the restore process is complete and now will be SharePoint front end server connecting to
that DB using the account that was setup with configuresharepoint.exe -enablesharepoint protection. That account needs permissions to connect to that database. The attach phase itself is using the system account from DPMRA process on the local SQL Server.
If you identify the issues are permission related first ensure
the DPMRA service [logon account] has access within SQL for the SQL instance that we are restoring to this account will need DB creator for the following system DB master.

Exchange backup Issue with Symantec Backup Exec 2014

https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH211305.html
Have you looked at this article? Do you have the remote agent installed? I would see if there is updates for the agent as well( Right click the exchange server from your console and hit update).

Hi,
I am using Symantec Backup Exec 2014 software. I want to take the daily backup of our Exchange database (Exchange 2013). But I cannot add the Exchange database to the Backup process.
I tried Add server wizard and connect exchange from the server wizard. But both options are not working. But I can take the backup of files that stored in the same server (exchange).
Please help...
Thanks

Back up MaxDB thru Symantec Backup Exec

Hi everyone,
I've just installed a 64-bit unicode SAP ECC 5.0 on MaxDB 7.5 in Windows 2003 x64 Enterprise.
I am now trying to figure out how to configure Symantec Backup Exec 11d to work with MaxDB so that I can do online backups. I heard that it is directly not possible, but is there a workaround for this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joseph

Hi Andreas,
That was a very good document that you recommended. It is clear enough. But the thing is I don't think NetBackup is installed to the server. The SAP-relevant options licensed and installed by the vendor for Backup Exec 11d are:
1. Agent for Oracle on Windows Servers
2. Agent for MS SQL Server
2. Agent for MS SQL Server 2000
3. Agent for SAP Applications
4. Backup Exec for Windows Servers
5. Remote Agent for Windows Servers
Do I have to install NetBackup or does it have a counterpart in 11d?
Thanks again,
Joseph

FULL HOT Backup failing with a 6 on media management layer....

Hi all,
My thanks in advance for reading and any posts. Appologies for the long post, but wanted to make sure I got all information required into the post
*******************The background*************************
We are currently doing full hot backups of all production databases to tape. The database we use is RAC install (9.2.0.6.0) on Linux Redhat Enterprise 4 (database on OCFS). We use a seperate Solaris 8 box with 2 HP Ultium tape drives over a standard Cat5 line (100mb), we use Veritas Netbackup 5.1 as our media manager and we use an RMAN repositry on another box. Currently the backup is taking on average 17 hours to complete (something that I have been through with Oracle).
We use the below rman script to do the full database backup.
DATE=`date +%m%d%Y-%H%M%S`; export DATE
USER=`id | cut -f2 -d"(" | cut -f1 -d")"`
ORACLE_SID=ausl5; export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_USER=oracle; export ORACLE_USER

#if [ "${USER}" = "root" ]
#then
# su - ${ORACLE_USER} "cd /rac/DBA/scripts/BACKUP/" #-c "${CMD_STRING}"
# SUCCESS=$?
#else
# eval "/rac/DBA/scripts/BACKUP"
# SUCCESS=$?
#fi

Now due to the backup taking so long, we often have archive log backups that kick off. We generally get Restore Validates of this backup once a week.
*********************************Problem*******************************
Getting to the problem, the media manager generally completes the job with a 6, which in Veritas means that the backup failed to back up the requested files. I guess that this could be something to do with the media manager layer. But myself and my colleagues are of the opinion that this is something to do with the archive log backups running inbetween (hence the change archivelog all validate; appearing so many times in the script).
Has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks again for any posts / ideas,
Mark.

No I mean, it really tries to backup everything; control file, archive logs etc...
Yeah I will admit its a bit strange, didn't code it myself. The idea was to do a bit a of house keeping at the same time with the archived redo logs (hence the file system stuff with the archived redo logs).
You see we thought that this might be causing the issue.
any ideas are welcomed,
thanks again,
Mark.
