Workaround: View the Device Activity. |
|||||||
In the WebUI, the configuration setting for the license warning message does not work properly. |
|||||||
Workaround: When using Push Installation, use /usr/netvault as the installation path. |
|||||||
Resolved an issue where a blank Job Monitor page loaded when using Internet Explorer version 11. |
|||||||
Workaround: Before you begin taking CDP backups, upgrade VMware to version 7.x. |
|||||||
Unable to run two Instant Restore jobs from two different NetVault Servers at the same time. Workaround: Run one job after the other by deleting the NFS connection before the second job. |
|||||||
When a CDP saveset has an excluded data disk, Instant Restore fails |
|||||||
While editing a restore selection set on the Edit Selection Set page, the Next button is disabled. Workaround: Select or clear the data selection tree check box on the Edit Selection Set page. |
|||||||
Workaround: Increase the value in the Physical Client Long Timeout field of the Web Service dialog box. |
|||||||
Quest DR Device is not accessible after you change the DR Device user password. |
|||||||
CLI displaying non English characters incorrectly. For example, |
|||||||
On the Manage Devices page, in Tree View, clicking Scan starts scanning the selected slot, drive, or library immediately. It does not show the Minimum life for imported backups (days) dialog box or confirmation message. |
|||||||
On the Manage Devices page, in Tree View, you cannot select multiple media from the list of available media for a bulk blank operation. |
|||||||
On the Manage Devices page, in Tree View, you cannot select multiple media from the list of available media for a bulk label operation. |
|||||||
When performing backups with the NetVault Plug-in for Teradata, if the number of parallel streams exceeds the SoftStreamLimit set for the target NetVault SmartDisk, the backup job stops responding. |
|||||||
In NetVault with a non-English locale, the Running Status field does not display a current job status as the output of nvreport command and Report Job. |
|||||||
If the Network Manager process (nvnmgr) stops responding due to any error and fails to exit properly, it prevents the NetVault Service from starting on that machine. Workaround: If this error occurs, manually stop or end the nvnmgr process before restarting the NetVault Service. |
|||||||
Issuer certificate is invalid. (Error code: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid) The new security library security.use_mozillapkix_verification raises this certification error when you try to access a self-signed certificate. Workaround: To resolve this issue, do the following:
|
|||||||
On Windows, if a copy of a “.cfg” file is created in the <NetVault home>/config directory, the WebUI may display empty or partly empty dialog boxes when the settings are accessed from the Change Settings page after restarting the service. |
|||||||
Subsequent tasks remain in a “Pending” state until you cancel the previous task. |
|||||||
If the server IP address is used to configure a local package store (for example, \\10.11.12.3\PkgStore), the user credentials are not validated when the package store is added or updated. If you specify invalid credentials, no errors are reported. However, the deployment task fails if the authentication fails and the packages cannot be retrieved from the store. Therefore, Quest recommends that you use the server name when configuring the path to a local store (for example, \\WinServer1\PkgStore). |

Known issues related to Plug-in for RDA on Solaris:
|
|||||||
Known issues related to DR Series Systems:
|
|||||||
On a Linux system, NetVault fails to access a DR Series system if you do the following:
When you remove the plug-in, it deletes the directory /usr/local/oca-libs, which causes an error when NetVault tries to access the device. Workaround: After removing the plug-in, complete the following steps:
|
|||||||
The Delete Non-Scheduled Jobs option is intended to delete unscheduled jobs after a specified period. Because the jobs using the Triggered schedule type have no physical scheduled time, they are also deleted after the specified period elapses. If you are using Triggered jobs in your NetVault environment, do not use the Delete Non-Scheduled Jobs option. |
|||||||
When using NetVault Plug-in for NDMP (Plug-in for NDMP), if you run multiple jobs with the auto-deletion option set to “On,” the parent and child jobs may still be listed on the Job Status page. Workaround: To correct this issue, close the NetVault WebUI, and start it again. There is no need to stop and restart the NetVault Service. |
|||||||
The canned report “Disk Storage Devices — General” is intended for the NetVault SmartDisk devices; this report does not show details about the DR Series systems and Data Domain Systems. |
|||||||
On a Solaris (SPARC or x86-64) system, when the LANG variable is set to en_US.UTF-8, the restore job wizard does not display the filenames on the Create Selection Set page. This issue is not encountered when LANG is set to C. |
|||||||
Workaround: To view the EULA, use a terminal that can display EUC character set. |
|||||||
Beginning with NetVault Backup 11.1, if Plug-in for Oracle or Plug-in for Informix is installed on a Linux machine where NetVault Server is also installed, the backups of the plug-ins may fail due to certain libraries loading. Workaround: Add the NetVault library path to the NetVault startup.sh script. For example, on a Linux-based NetVault Server: |
|||||||
Job details are not displayed when you click a policy job in the Job Status widget on the NetVault Dashboard page. |
|||||||
After running a job, when you go to the Job Status page to monitor the status of the job, it shows all the jobs with previously applied filters instead of showing all current activity. Workaround: Select the Current Activity option in the View By job status filter option. |
|||||||
If you perform multi-stream backups to tape, select the Archive and Migration options in Backup Life, and identify an expiration date, the savesets are corrupted after the expiration is reached.
|
|||||||
Workaround: Use the 12-hour or 24-hour setting. |
|||||||
The Unusable Media widget on the dashboard does not show media that must be recovered. |
|||||||
For LTO-7 tapes, the Explore Storage page inaccurately displays the size of an unused tape. |
|||||||
The Storage Utilization report shows the wrong licensed capacity for SmartDisk. |
|||||||
Workaround: In the WebUI, create a VTL using the “Re-add previously generated virtual device” option, and then, in the webservice.cfg file, increase the SessionExpiryTime. |
|||||||
When a large number of jobs are in Running state, the Job Status page hangs. |
|||||||
Workaround: In the Advanced Options > Backup Life section, do NOT select Make Backup Immutable. If you select this option for an incremental backup but you do not select it for a full backup, if you try to delete the saveset, then an error occurs. |
|||||||
According to Plug-in for Advanced Encryption Release Notes: The Plug-in for Advanced Encryption is incompatible with the following NetVault Backup Plug-ins:
|
|||||||
NDMP Plugin: Sec copy with “Use Life of Original” and 1 Day immutability not being honored. |
|||||||
Immutability not set as expected for phase 2 job which is created with ‘Duplicate’ option |
NetVault job fails if it uses the same container with data stubbed for new jobs. |
|
An Plug-in for Oracle restore job passes silently with errors when it should fail because the data is still on a QoreStor glacier tier. |
|
A Plug-in for NDMP restore job succeeds when it should fail immediately as the data is archived with QoreStor. |
|
When the Broadcast details to machines on local networks setting is disabled on a client, the nvclient utility fails to add the client. Workaround: Use the nvclientadd -clientip <Client IP address> command to add the client. |
|||||
The asf_load_media command fails if the machine name contains any spaces. |
|||||
When the asf_release_drive command is issued to various brands of library devices (for example, those containing various Exabyte or 9840 drives), a delay of up to eight (8) minutes may occur before a piece of media is unloaded. Workaround: The workaround is to issue the “Unload” command from the NetVault WebUI.
The drive remains in and “Idle” state, and media are not unloaded as expected. If the logs for the selected device are viewed, an entry stating “Unload media in drive <X> failed — Device unavailable” is displayed. Repeat Step 2 to unload the media. |
|||||
The range function does not work properly for the nvacslsmedia command. Workaround: The workaround is to explicitly run this command for each media item that you want to allocate or deallocate. You can use a script to do this task. |
|||||
When a space character is all that is specified for a library name with the nvcleandrive command, the first library on the Manage Devices page performs a clean operation on the specified drive. For example, if you run the command nvcleandrive libraryname “<space character only>” -librarydrivenumber <X>, NetVault automatically targets the first library on the Manage Devices page and perform a clean operation on drive <X>. |
|||||
When a null value is specified with the nvexpiresaveset command, any random saveset is expired. |
|||||
When you run the nvjobmodify command, the job is submitted to run, even if you do not include the “‑submit” option in the syntax. |
|||||
When a null string is specified with the nvremovemedia command, the first entry is deleted from the Media Database. |
|||||
The nvsetcleaninglives command does not report any errors if you configure incorrect values for the lives option. |
|||||
The “-include” option for nvsetcreate cannot be used to specify data selections below the “Fixed Drives” node in the selection tree. |
|||||
The nvsetmodify command cannot be used to modify Schedule Sets. You can create a set using nvsetcreate, and assign it the same name to overwrite the existing set. |
|||||
On Windows-based installations, the nvsyncronizesilomedia command does not update the media status on the Manage Devices page. |
|||||
Workaround: Reset the user password to one that contains seven or fewer characters. |
|||||
When used to select nodes for backup and restore, the nvsetcreate command does not interpret a single quote and instead changes it to a blank space. Workaround: To avoid this issue, write the string argument into a parameter file and use the nvsetcreate -parameters switch to specify the file. |
|||||
On ZFS, if the backup data contains ACLs on extended attributes, the restore job fails when you use the default restore options. If errors occur on restore of metadata, select the Discard Metadata option to restore the data. |
|
Log message: <num> items and their contents could not be restored Log context: <filename>: writing to file: Incorrect function |
|
NetVault does not allow Apple Xsan restores when there are no affinity tags on the target server. |
|
The exclusion list is not enforced for a corrupt file in an Incremental Backup. |
|
If the name of a network share folder includes Japanese characters, NetVault does not add it. |
|
The FileSystem backup and restore job fails to write an entry into the log file when the Path to Backup log and Path to Restore log options are selected. |
|
The Verify After Backup option does not work for a restarted job instance. |
|
When you submit a policy job created for a UNIX file system on a Windows system, the job status shows “Completed with Warnings,” but no data is backed up. |
|
The following known issues apply to the Backup Windows File Short Names and Restore Windows File Short Names options: |
|
If a job restores a Windows symbolic link (file created using mklink, not Windows shortcut), where the symbolic link file exists on the target file system and the data file the symbolic link targets also exists, the data in the targeted data file is lost. Ensure that the data files targeted by symbolic links are included in backups. Quest recommends that you delete the existing symbolic links that you want to restore from the target file system before running a restore job. To avoid any risks of data loss, you can also perform backup of data files possibly at risk before running the restore job. |
|
Backups on GFS and GFS2 can stop responding if the files or directories are frozen. |
|
In an environment with many direct automounts on Solaris Clients, a backup job may remain at “Waiting for Job Options” status while the Plug-in for FileSystem attempts to load the automounts temporarily to determine whether they are on remote systems. This delay can be alleviated by selecting the “Backup through Remote Mounts” option. If necessary, clear or exclude remote mounts or add the following stanza to the file nvfs.cfg: |

Licensing: NetVault Server 13.3.1 uses License Validator, which was introduced with NetVault 13.0. If you are running a NetVault Server version prior to 13.0, before you upgrade to 13.3.1, you must install the new license file on the NetVault Server. For more information, see “Upgrading NetVault” in the Quest NetVault Installation Guide. |
• |
Previous versions: NetVault 13.3.1 Server installations are backwards compatible with previous releases of the client and plug-ins. However, before you upgrade NetVault Server, download the license file for each licensed plug-in. Without the license file, the plug-in may stop working. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Installation Guide. |
• |
NetVault Server OS requirements: The NetVault Server installation is supported on Windows and Linux operating systems. The NetVault Server installation is not supported on Mac OS X and UNIX operating systems. For information about supported operating system versions, see the Quest NetVault Compatibility Guide available at https://support.quest.com/technical-documents. For information on migrating NetVault Server 9.2 from Mac OS X or UNIX to Windows or Linux, see https://support.quest.com/kb/SOL126805. |
• |
NetVault Database migration: Upgrade from 9.2 involves the migration of NetVault Database from proprietary format to the PostgreSQL database. The migration can take a significant amount of time depending on the size of your NetVault Database and other factors such as system performance. |
NOTE: Before upgrading from NetVault 9.2, purging unnecessary logs can significantly reduce the database migration time. For more information about purging log files, see the Quest NetVault Administrator's Guide. |
IMPORTANT: Before upgrading from 9.2, verify that you created a backup of the NetVault Database. The database format introduced in 10.0 increases the importance of performing NetVault Database backups before upgrading from 9.2. For more information about backing up the NetVault Database with the Plug-in for Databases, see the Quest NetVault Built-in Plug-ins User’s Guide. |

Select the correct installation package on Linux and Windows: NetVault offers separate client‑only and server-only installation packages for Linux- and Windows-based systems. Both the server and the client packages are available in hybrid and pure 64-bit versions: |
• |
Hybrid server and client packages: The hybrid packages are intended for users who do not have a pure 64-bit-only requirement. |
• |
Pure 64-bit server and client packages: The pure 64-bit packages are intended for pure 64-bit operating systems. If you have a specific reason that you cannot use any 32-bit components (for example, you are using a Linux distribution that does not run 32-bit code), use these packages. |
• |
netvault-<RYYYYMMMDD>-vx.x.x.x-Server-{LinuxX86Pure64|WindowsX86Pure64}: Use this package to install or upgrade NetVault Server on pure 64-bit systems. |
IMPORTANT: Before installing the hybrid package of NetVault on 64-bit Linux machines, ensure that all the required 32-bit libraries are installed on the system. For more information about the requirements, see the Quest NetVault Installation Guide. The installation process may fail silently if the installer is unable to find the required libraries on the system. |
NOTE: X = Compatible |
• |
Licensed plug-ins: After upgrading to the latest version of NetVault, you may be unable to create new backup jobs with previously installed licensed plug-ins. This issue occurs in the following upgrade scenarios: |
• |
SNMP Trap Notification Object Identifier (OID): After you upgrade from NetVault 9.2, the OID for the SNMP Trap Notification method is changed. |
• |
NetVault Plug-in for NetWare (Plug-in for NetWare): NetVault 10.0 and later do not support Plug-in for NetWare. |
• |
Plug-in for VMware and NetVault Plug-in for Hyper-V (Plug-in for Hyper-V): After installing the Plug‑in for VMware or Plug-in for Hyper-V, if you upgrade the NetVault software, you must re‑install the plug-in on that machine. If you do not reinstall the plug-ins, you cannot open the Drives node of a mounted virtual machine to create any new file‑level backup jobs. |
• |
Device names containing multibyte characters: After upgrading from NetVault Server 9.2, a device that uses multibyte characters in its name must be removed and added again. |
