Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume II

Media and device performance and troubleshooting

The following items are performance and troubleshooting best practices:

  • Use the performance-tuning documents available on the NetBackup support Web page.

  • Use only a dedicated server for the NetBackup master server. Do not use a server that hosts other applications or one that stores data. Plan periodic maintenance for all of the backup servers.

  • Consult the Troubleshooter in the NetBackup Administration Console or the NetBackup Status Codes Reference Guide for all error conditions:

    http://www.veritas.com/docs/DOC5332

  • Always install the latest NetBackup release updates that are available from Veritas.

  • Verify all SCSI-related operating system configuration files (such as the Solaris st.conf file), when you install system release updates.

  • For problems with devices, consult the vendor for firmware upgrades and consult the NetBackup hardware compatibility list for supported firmware levels.

  • Do not use the NetBackup DISABLE_RESOURCES_BUSY touch file.

  • Do not disable the operating system TCP_NODELAY functionality.
