  1. NetBackup in a Multi-Platform, Complex Environment Nick Janakas MOTOROLA QA4418@email.mot.com

  2. MOTOROLA COMMUNICATIONSENTERPRISE • Cellular Technology. • We are headquartered in Arlington Heights, IL. • We backup all servers of Office Automation and Engineering. • We manufacture the Digital and Analog Cellular base stations.

  3. The Unix/NT Environment • 15 MASTER SERVERS • Sun Sparc Ultras and 250s. • Clariion RAID units (7/30 Slot). • 4000/7000 Standalone DLT units.

  4. The Unix/NT Environment (cont) • 130 SLAVE SERVERS • Sun Sparc Ultras. • HP, SGI, IBM. • 1400 + Client (I.e. RS6000, SPARCS, SGI, AUSPEX, NAC, HP) • Most versions of Unix (I.e. AIX, SOLARIS, SUNOS, IRIX, HP-UX).

  5. The Unix/NT Environment (cont) • 35+ NT 4.0 Servers. • 6 Exchange Servers. • NT SAN Infrastructure with 2 terabytes of data. • Total 9 terabytes of data on Full backups.

  6. The NetBackup Environment • NetBackup Version 3.2 & 3.1.1 including NDMP(NAC), FastBack(Auspex). • 15 Unix Masters across 13 Computer Rooms. • 130 Unix/NT Slave Servers across the Country. • 1400 + clients. • Databases: Oracle, Informix, ClearCase, Exchange.

  8. The DLT Environment • 90 Breece Hill Q2/15 DLT Robotic Units. • 40 ATL DLT Robotic units, including 4/52, 7100, P1000, P3000. • Running both backups and duplication.

  9. The Problem • Large amount of clients per sub-net. • NACs NDMP protocol. • AUSPEX Fastback protocol. • Epoch backup conversion. • NT disk expansion. • Robotic unit expansion.

  10. The Solution • Started with NetBackup 1.7 and currently running 3.1.1 and 3.2. • Worked with Network Appliance and Veritas to be able to backup NACs using NDMP. • Working on a full fiber channel SAN environment for NT. • Worked with ATL on the latest DLT robotic units that are supported by NetBackup.

  11. Workstations Workstations Server Disk Server SAN LAN Server Tape Library Server The Solution

  12. Benefits • To be able to backup a Multi-Platform client environment, across multiple Computer Rooms. • To be able to work with state-of-the-art technology, that is supported by Veritas to accomplish backups and restores. • Managing backups and restores across the United States.

  13. 20/20 Hindsight • Maintain good vendor relationships. • Create a standard for backup hardware. • Maintain currency with technology changes. • Start with large RAID units for the Master’s database.

  14. 20/20 Hindsight • GOTCHAS • Need to be a primary beta tester for unsupported platforms. • Always call Veritas Tech Support for patches before doing an version upgrade.

  15. Plans for the Future • Complete upgrade to 3.2 across all masters. • Large install of NAC Servers running NDMP. • Backup installation of a 9 terabyte disk environment using a ATL P3000. • Install and configure Global Data Manager. • Work with Veritas to get single mail box restore on Exchange.

  16. Requests To VERITAS From the Motorola CE NetBackup Users Group • Patches to be available ON-LINE. • Notification of NetBackup Upgrades. • To be able to call VERITAS Tech Support and get support. • Work with VERITAS and MOTORLA and set a world-wide site license agreement.

  17. Summary • Backups and Restores are required. They need to work. • SUPPORT!!!!!
