Hello,

Hope you are doing fine...

I am trying to backup oracle files using RMAN. I am getting the following error codes:

RMAN> run {
2> allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE' PARMS='SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/libobk.so64.1';

Has this worked in the past?

Do you have a policy defined on the Netbackup server?

Hi,

Other oracle backups using RMAN are working fine on other systems.

Note that normal backups (filesystems backup) are working fine
on the Netbackup server which means that the communication between the client system (billtemp) and the backup server(backupserver) is valid.

Next is what i got from the los under
[billtemp]oracle:/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/dbclient

I still have the following questions:

Has this worked in the past?

Do you have a policy defined on the Netbackup server?

Third times a charm:

Do you have a policy defined on the Netbackup server?
Specifically, have you defined an Oracle policy on the Netbackup master server?

While I'm at it, I'll ask if you can provide the output of:

RMAN> show all;

Yes there is a policy created for oracle backups.

Next is the ouput that you required;

RMAN>

RMAN> show all;

using target database controlfile instead of recovery catalog
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO 'SBT_TAPE';
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE PARALLELISM 1; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/tmp/%U';
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/bill/appl/oracle/product/9.2.0/dbs/snapcf_TABS.f'; # default

Since you don't have this configured, it looks like you need to specify the POLICY and SERVER name in the channel command:

allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape' parms='SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/libobk.so64.1,
	ENV=(NB_ORA_POLICY=<your_oracle_policy_name>, NB_ORA_SERV=<your_master_server_name>)';

This definitely seems to be a Netbackup configuration issue.

The Status Code in the Netbackup log would tend to indicate that the client name does not match what is in the Netbackup configuration.

Look here and search for "Verifying Host Names and Services Entries".

Have you tried the sbttest utility ?

i tried to run sbttest and it is failing too;

Are you sure that this error is related to Veritas Netbackup???

With the errors you are encountering, I would definitely say it's a configuration issue with NetBackup. The error "Server Status: client is not validated to use the server" from the NetBackup log would indicate this.

Do you have multiple network interfaces on the database server ? You may also want to verify your DNS settings and double-check that a policy is created on the NB master server and is of the type "ORACLE" is configured appropriately.

hello,

Yes i have two network interfaces for the database server,one with ip address 172.16.55.165 and the other 172.16.55.166.
How would this affect my backup?

You mentioned something related to the DNS settings? How do i verify that?

Is the version of the media manager software related to this error?

Regards,
Fouad.

I've never experienced your particular problem myself, but from the error message you are receiving ("client is not validated to use the server"), you should verify that your IP and hostnames are resolving correctly for all the interfaces attached to that server. You can use NSLOOKUP for the hostname and IP address to check if the names & IP's are resolving correctly.

The version of the media manager should not be an issue.

For further information, check here and search the document for "NetBackup Status Code: 131".

Hi,

After checking the log files on both the backup and the client servers, we notice the following:

Client Server :

VERITAS NetBackup for Oracle - Release 5.0GA (2003103006)
System name: SunOS
Node name: billtemp

12:32:05.295 [25695] <16> xbsa_QueryObject: ERR - VxBSAQueryObject: Failed with error:

12:32:05.295 [25695] <16> int_StartJob: ERR - Failed to process backup file <bk_31447_1_605968323>

12:32:07.132 [25695] <4> sbtend: INF - --- END of SESSION ---
12:32:07.132 [25696] <4> sbtend: INF - --- END of SESSION ---

Backup Server :

14:46:11.854 [26243] <2> logconnections: BPRD ACCEPT FROM 172.16.55.166.42309 TO 172.16.55.211.13720
14:46:11.854 [26243] <2> process_request: setsockopt SO_LINGER on 7 succeeded.
14:46:11.920 [26243] <16> connected_peer: gethostbyaddr() for 172.16.55.166 failed, HOST_NOT_FOUND (1)
14:46:11.932 [26243] <32> bprd: cannot determine connection host name
14:46:11.940 [247] <2> listen_loop: select() interrupted
14:46:12.031 [247] <2> bprd: socket fd from accept() is 7

Which means that the primary interface identified by the backupserver is the one plumbed with IP address 172.16.55.166 (medtemp). However, the primary interface
on the V890 server (billtemp) is plumbed with the IP address 172.16.55.165. Therefore, the problem was solved by editing the bp.conf file under /usr/openv/netbackup/ as follows:

SERVER = backupserver
CLIENT_NAME = billtemp
REQUIRED_INTERFACE = billtemp
VERBOSE = 2

Thanks for your help...

Regards.
