Chapter 1: NetWorker Software Release 6.0.1-D This Release Supplement describes the new and enhanced features of the NetWorker release 6.0.1-D software for use on the OpenVMS operating system. NetWorker is supported on OpenVMS Alpha and I64 operating systems.
Chapter 1: NetWorker Software Release 6.0.1-D New or Enhanced Features This section describes the following new or enhanced features (listed alphabetically by title), which are included in NetWorker release 6.0.
Chapter 1: NetWorker Software Release 6.0.1-D NetWorker release 6.0.1-D defines its own root directories (NSR$node) based on the name of the node on which it is running. The cluster root directories ([SYS0.], [SYS1.], and so on) are no longer used.
Chapter 1: NetWorker Software Release 6.0.1-D • OpenVMS Guide to Extended File Specifications (for OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.2) These documents are accessible from the following web site (as of the date of publication of this manual): http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/os731_index.html Note: While some of the features described here were released with OpenVMS Version 7.2, some enhancements to these features were not added until OpenVMS Version 7.3-1.
Chapter 1: NetWorker Software Release 6.0.1-D About Deeper Directory Structures Both ODS-2 and ODS-5 volume structures now support the creation and access of up to 255 directory levels. On ODS-5 volumes, the directory names can be up to 236 8-bit or 118 16-bit characters in length. (Directory names on ODS-2 volumes are still limited to 39 characters.
Chapter 1: NetWorker Software Release 6.0.1-D more files than is strictly necessary. After this initial occurrence, incremental saves will behave normally. You can override this behavior by defining the logical name NSR$IGNORE_BACKUP_TIME to any value. In this case, save will not consider the backup timestamp when selecting candidates for incremental backup. For more information about the record and norecord directives, refer to the LEGATO NetWorker Administrator’s Guide, Release 6.0.
Chapter 1: NetWorker Software Release 6.0.1-D About the NetWorker Module for Oracle The NetWorker module for Oracle allows you to back up your online Oracle databases using NetWorker in tandem with the Oracle Media Management API (SBT interface) and Oracle’s Recovery Manager (RMAN). Oracle 9i or newer is required for use with this NetWorker module.
Chapter 1: NetWorker Software Release 6.0.1-D For more information on using the /DESTINATION qualifier with the PRODUCT INSTALL command, refer to DCL help on the PRODUCT INSTALL command. LEGATO NetWorker, Release 6.0.
Chapter 1: NetWorker Software Release 6.0.1-D Installation Options Have Changed The installation procedure for NetWorker release 6.0.1-D has additional installation options for the new Oracle and Oracle Rdb modules. See "Oracle and Oracle Rdb Database Backup and Recovery Support Added" on page 14 for more information. These options appear when you indicate that you do not accept the default options.
Chapter 1: NetWorker Software Release 6.0.1-D Extracting the PCSI File on an ODS-5 Volume If you extract the PCSI to an ODS-5 volume, you must rename the PCSI file after extracting it from the self-extracting archive file. The OpenVMS PRODUCT utility is not able to find a lowercase PCSI filename. When you extract the PCSI file from the self-extracting archive the PCSI filename will be in lowercase. You must rename the lowercase filename to uppercase. For example: lgto-axpvms-snclnt-v0600-1d-1.
Chapter 1: NetWorker Software Release 6.0.1-D To use the NSR$CONFIGURE_NODE.COM command procedure to remove node-specific root directories, use the following command: $ @SYS$STARTUP:NSR$CONFIGURE_NODE "REMOVE" Known Limitations This section describes problems or restrictions that are known to exist in this release of the NetWorker software for OpenVMS Alpha.
Chapter 1: NetWorker Software Release 6.0.1-D Parallel Backup Operation Restricted (Oracle Rdb Module) The NetWorker module for Oracle Rdb does not support both types of Rdb parallel backups. There are two types of parallel backups. One type is a parallel backup using threads. Rdb uses threads to do the backup when you use more than one writer in the /LIBRARIAN=(WRITER= qualifier.
Chapter 1: NetWorker Software Release 6.0.1-D EXPIRATION DATE/TIME: VOLUME LABEL: SHARING MODE: ORDERING MODE: Fri Oct 29 10:14:34 2004 wumpus.tz87.008 single user sequential access RMU/RECOVER/LIBRARY Fails When Specified Save Set Does Not Exist (Oracle Rdb Module) RMU generates a bugcheck if you specify a save set name that does not exist. Problem With Rdb V7.2 Using A Plan (Oracle Rdb Module) There is a problem with Rdb V7.2 when using a plan file.
Chapter 1: NetWorker Software Release 6.0.1-D Directories That Do Not Have the Directory Bit Set Directories that do not have the directory bit set are saved as a regular file. In order for a file to be directory, it must meet two conditions: have a ".DIR;1" type and version and the directory bit must be set. If either of these two conditions are not met NetWorker saves the file as a regular file. NetWorker does not save any files that might be in the directory.
Chapter 1: NetWorker Software Release 6.0.1-D Directories That Do Not Have a Type of “.DIR;1“ Directories that do not have a type of “.DIR;1” are not supported by NetWorker or by the file system. For example: all_lower_case.dir;1 is NOT supported. However, all_lower_case.DIR;1 is supported. For ease of explanation in this section I will call any directory with type of “.dir;1” or any permeation of dir as an invalid directory. You can create an invalid directory that has a type other than “.
Chapter 1: NetWorker Software Release 6.0.1-D Size Of A File Device Saveset There is a limit to the size of a file device saveset if you are going to recover an individual file from the saveset. The following table show the saveset size limit for versions of OpenVMS. Table 1. Size of File Device Saveset OpenVMS Version Size of Saveset Limit Below V7.3 2.1 Gigabytes V7.3 and above 9.2 Exabytes The above limites are only for recovering an individual file in a saveset on a file device.
Chapter 2: OpenVMS I64 Supplement This release of NetWorker supports the OpenVMS I64 operating system. There are very few differences between NetWorker for OpenVMS Alpha and I64. This chapter describes the differences for the OpenVMS I64 operating system. The following topics are included in this chapter: • "Operating System Requirements" on page 25 • "Installation" on page 25 • "Installation In A Mixed Cluster" on page 25 • "Recovering an OpenVMS V8.
Chapter 2: OpenVMS I64 Supplement Recovering an OpenVMS V8.2 System Disk When recovering an OpenVMS V8.2 system disk, you must initialize the boot block on the target disk after recovering the data. On previous OpenVMS versions you used SYS$SYSTEM:WRITEBOOT.EXE to write the boot block after a recover. On OpenVMS I64 you must use the SET BOOTBLOCK command. Use the procedure for recovering a system disk in the LEGATO NetWorker Administrator’s Guide, Release 6.0.
Chapter 2: OpenVMS I64 Supplement with the Oracle Rdb Data Protection Module.
Chapter 2: OpenVMS I64 Supplement It is recommended that you deassign these logical names after the backup operation completes. Refer to the LEGATO NetWorker Administrator’s Guide, Release 6.0.1-D, HP OpenVMS Alpha Version for more information. RMU/LIBRARY/LIST Does Not Support Wildcards (Oracle Rdb Module) The RMU program supports a function that queries the librarian catalog. In the case of NetWorker, this function queries the media and file indexes.
