Troubleshooting which can be done if luns are not visible in Solaris.

1)cfgadm -al
2)devfsadm -Cvv
 if in disk not connected or showing below error..
c6::50060e81230582a5           unavailable  connected    unconfigured failed

3)cfgadm -c configure c6

luxadm probe

4)then remove zoning and cfgadm -al # But this will remove all the luns, even those which are visible.
5)then add zoing
6)then configure
7)cfgadm -al

Using PRTVTOC to copy disk geometry in solaris.

Let us assume that we have allocated 4 luns to a Solaris server and want to make them the same layout. We can do the same by using below commands to copy the disk geometry.

# First manually create the disk geometry for the first disk using foramt command.

bash-3.00# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c4t60060E8005BD26000000BD2600002A12d0s2 > /tmp/disk

#Above command will create a file of disk geometry in the path mentioned which is "disk" file.

# Then we can use the below commands to replicate the same disk geometry on the other disks.

bash-3.00# fmthard -s /tmp/disk /dev/rdsk/c4t60060E8005BD26000000BD2600002A13d0s2

fmthard:  New volume table of contents now in place.

bash-3.00# fmthard -s /tmp/disk /dev/rdsk/c4t60060E8005BD26000000BD2600002A14d0s2

fmthard:  New volume table of contents now in place.

bash-3.00# fmthard -s /tmp/disk /dev/rdsk/c4t60060E8005BD26000000BD2600002A15d0s2

Brocade Zoning Steps.


First login into a switch.

alicreate "storagePort_Alias1", "12:01:10:a0:00:12:85:0b"

alicreate "storagePort_Alias2", "12:01:10:a0:00:12:85:0b"

alicreate "Server_Alias_hba1p0", "12:01:10:a0:00:12:85:0b"

Above steps create the alias for the HBA WWPN.

Then create the zones adding the aliases to it.

zonecreate Server_Alias_hba1p0_storagePort_Alias1, "Server_Alias_hba1p0;storagePort_Alias1"

zonecreate Server_Alias_hba1p0_storagePort_Alias2, "Server_Alias_hba1p0;storagePort_Alias2"

Then add the zones in the active zoneset.

cfgadd "zoneset_01", "Server_Alias_hba1p0_storagePort_Alias2"

cfgadd "zoneset_01", "Server_Alias_hba1p0_storagePort_Alias2"

Atlast save and enable the zone config.

Symantec Netbackup Command to check & make changes to tape & library config

Lets say if you have a master and you want to change the tape config on media server. You can do that by running below commands switches on vmoprcmd and can get the functions of tpconfig and tpautoconf. you do not need to login to that media server and you know GUI does not always helps.

Path : /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/

Command : ./vmoprcmd -Q(Capital)  This will give you some hidden options you have with vmoprcmd.

Command : ./vmoprcmd -devconfig -h media <tpconfig commands switches>

Command : ./vmoprcmd -autoconfig -h media <tpautoconf commands switches>

You can also restart the device manager service on another media server by using below commands.

Command : ./vmoprcmd -h media -stopltid

Command : ./vmoprcmd -h media -startltid

Using bprestore command to restore multiple individual files at a different location

Using below command you can restore multiple files at different locations at any location. this helps in case you have a huge number of files to restore in different location. GUI will take too long. This is an easy and faster way to do it.

Command :

 /usr/openv/Netbackup/bin/bprestore

Example :

./bprestore -B -t 0 –C gnnbkp81 –D bkp81_test -s 12/14/2010 00:00:00 -e 12/16/2010 00:00:00 -f /test/restore_this -R /test/file_change

Important Parameters :

-B : menas that this is a backup and not archive.

-t 0 means that this is a 0(Standard) type restore.

-C clientname

-D destination clientname

-s start date in mm/dd/yyyy 00:00:00 format

-e end date in mm/dd/yyyy 00:00:00 format

-f (This should be the path of the file which contains the complete path of the files to be restored)

Example :

/test/data/file0
/test/data/file1
/test/data/file2

-R (This is the file that the new path where data is to restored. This should contain the complete source as well as the destination path). File should be saved in below format.

Example :

Change /test/data/file0 to /test/restore/file0
change /test/data/file1 to /test/restore/file1
change /test/data/file2 to /test/restore/file2
