Rotating RDA with OST Plug-In Logs for Linux

Rotating RDA with OST Plug-In Logs for Linux

If you set the RDA with OST plug-in log level to Debug, this can cause the plug-in log to quickly grow in size. The best practice for preventing any issues with log sizes is to rotate the plug-in logs using the logrotate utility that is commonly available on Linux-based systems.

To configure log rotation, complete the following:

The logrotate utility runs every hour, and rotates the logs whenever the log file size exceeds 10 megabytes (MB). This procedure is automated as part of the plug-in installation.

Guidelines for Gathering Media Server Information

Guidelines for Gathering Media Server Information

In addition to the DR Series system diagnostics log file bundles and core files that you can collect for history and troubleshooting purposes, if you have run any RDA with OST operations, Dell recommends that you also gather some important media server-related files. This topic introduces some of these key media server files that reside on Linux and Windows platforms .

NetBackup on Linux Media Servers

For NetBackup running on a Linux media server, Dell recommends gathering the following files:

Dell recommends that if core_pattern on the client is set by NAT to a specific directory, then the diagnostics script has to look into that directory for any related cores.

NetBackup on Windows Media Servers

For NetBackup running on a Windows media server, Dell recommends gathering the following files:

If a server failure is involved (which could be an inapparent or silent failure), the Windows media server event log for the application could be collected by using Administrative Tools → Event Viewer. Next, check the Windows Logs → Application. Typically, the last entry marked with Error is the one for which you are searching.

Backup Exec on Windows Media Servers

For Backup Exec running on a Windows media server, Dell recommends gathering the following files:

Configuring and using VTL

Configuring and using VTL

This topic introduces Virtual Tape Libraries (VTLs) and related concepts and tasks. Refer to the subsequent topics and procedures in this section for more information.

Understanding VTL

Understanding VTL

A Virtual Tape Library (VTL) is an emulation of a physical tape library on a disk-based deduplication and compression system such as the DR Series system. The tape library is exposed to a Data Management Application (DMA) as if it is a physical library with tape drives and cartridges, which the application uses for backup. Because a VTL completely emulates a standard library, the introduction of virtual tape is seamless and transparent to existing tape backup/recovery applications. The management of the library, including the drives and tapes, is done by the DMA using SCSI commands. For details on the applications supported, see the DR Series System Interoperability Guide.
