NETBACKUP (5)

In Master Server bprd --> bpsched --> bpdbm --> bpjobd Step 1: * When the daemon starts "bprd" on the master server start "bpsched" Step 2: * "bpsched" calls bpdbm to check the policy for auto backup schedules "bpsched" calls the child process to handle the backup "bpdbm" calls the bpjobd to communicate with job catalog. Step 3: * "bpsched" child contacts the media server to start the bpcd In Media Server bpcd --> bpbrm --> bptm Step 4: * bpcd invokes bpbrm * bpbrm starts bptm which requests a tape mount and spans a child process to communicate with client. * Vmd (Volume Manager Daemon) - manages the Volume catalog and handles media requests through out the course of the backup job. * bpbrm contacts the client to start the bpcd in client. In Client Step 5: "bpcd" in the client starts the "bpbkar" Step 6: "bpbkar" reads data from client * Communicates directly with "bpbrm" to send catalog meta data which is ultimately written to images catalog. * Send the backup data stream to the "child bptm" process Step 7: * The child bptm processes passes the data to the "parent bptm" process which writes the data directly to the destination data.

What is Volume Group and Volume Pool? Volume Pool Is nothing but the grouping of tape. Meant Volume/media/catridge/tape. It is a Logical Set of Tape media/Volume. If we want to use the newly introduced tape and to write to the data, it should be under one of the volume pool We can we the Volume pools by the following ways.

Manages a group of tape for purpose of admin actions that allows movement of tapes from slots to drive and vice versa. All volumes in the VG should be the same media type. (HCART,DLT) All volumes in a robotic library must belong to a volume group. You cannot add volumes to a robotic library without specifying a group. We can view the Volume groups in 2 ways. i) In GUI, Media and Device management --> Media --> Volume Groups ii)In CLI, #vmquery -a |grep "media ID:" root@SS73VPBK01 # vmquery -a |grep "media ID:" media ID: CLNU01 media ID: PL5001 media ID: PL5002 media ID: PL5003 media ID: PL5004 What are the Default Volume Pools? There are 4 volume pools created by default i) Netbackup --> new tapes are go to this pool after inventory ii) None (for cleaning tapes) iii) Datastore iv) Catalog backup What is Scratch Pool ? Scratch pool is the manually created volume pool and following are the procedures of scratch pool i) Expired Tapes (volumes) are automatically moved to scratch pool by netbackup. ii) If some other pools used for taking backup doesn't have any tapes available, it will take empty tapes from here. What is Multistreaming and Multiplexing? Multistreaming i) Sends data from single client to multiple data drives. Normally used in high bandwidth environment. ii) Backups can be divided into streams. Different jobs in different tape.
