重要事項 : バックボーン ・ ソフトウエアは、 方法 1 を実行されることをお奨めします。 方法 1 は、 より確実で、 将
来的な使用にも耐えうるソリューションです。
X 方法 1: 既存のデバイ ス と 削除するデバイ ス を利用 し ているすべてのジ ョ ブ を削除する
As the title states, you must remove any devices in use, and then delete any existing jobs that target
these devices. While this method presents the most overall work, it offers the best overall solution to the
issue. It offers the easiest method for adding additional backup devices in the future (i.e., once you have
converted to the SGEN device driver in place of NetVault:Backup’s driver, you will be able to easily add
new devices using the NetVault:Backup GUI). To properly use this method, follow the steps outlined
below:
1. Perform a complete backup of the existing NetVault Database on the Solaris 10 NetVault Server that
is to be upgraded.
2. Access the Job Management window and thoroughly review all pertinent jobs that target any devices
that are currently under the control of this NetVault Server. Make note of all settings and options.
3. With all settings noted, delete all existing jobs that target devices controlled by this NetVault Server.
End User Release Notes - NetVault Backup 8.0
Page 5 of 20
4. Access the Device Management window of the GUI. Remove all devices that are currently under the
control of this NetVault Server.
5. Upgrade to version 8.0 on the target Solaris 10 NetVault Server (as outlined in the NetVault:Backup Install/Upgrade Guide for 8.0).
6. Stop NetVault services (i.e., using the NetVault:Backup Configurator).
7. Navigate to the following directory on the Solaris 10 system (where “...” refers to the complete path to
the installation of NetVault:Backup):
...\netvault\config
8. Locate the “scsi.cfg” file and open it for editing with a text editor. Locate the [SCSI] stanza, and edit
it to appear as follows:
-
[SCSI]
Use NV driver=FALSE
Important: If the [SCSI] stanza is all that exists in the scsi.cfg file, you can simply delete this file to obtain the
necessary result. However if any other entries exist in this file, it must remain in the “...\netvault\config”
directory (and you must edit the file to appear as outlined above).
9. Navigate to the following directory:
/kernel/drv/
10.Locate the “sgen.conf” file and open it with a text editor. Edit the file to appear as follows. Lines
shown below, prefaced with a “#” are existing lines in the file. Locate each and preface it with a “#” in
order to leave it in the file, but have NetVault ignore the entry. Non-”#” prefaced lines indicate new
entries that must be added.

name="sgen" class="scsi" target=14 lun=0;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=15 lun=0;
11. With the file properly edited save and close it.
12.Issue the following command to generate a required link at “/dev/scsi/changer”:
devfsadm -v -i sgen
13.Restart NetVault services (i.e., via the NetVault:Backup Configurator).
14.Re-add the removed device(s).
15.Re-create all deleted jobs (i.e., using the information gathered in Step 2).
X 方法 2: 適用デバイ ス を含む sgen.cfg フ ァ イルを編集する
Overall, this is the shortest method to employ. However, it only accommodates those devices that are
currently under the control of the NetVault Server (i.e., if you need to add additional devices to the
NetVault Server at a later date, they will not be automatically recognized by the software, and additional
configuration steps would be required). This method also presents a potential risk because if the machine
is re-configured, the links that are manually created here may be lost, preventing NetVault:Backup from
detecting the devices.
1. Log in to the existing Solaris 10 NetVault Server, using an account with at least super-user level
access.
2. Stop NetVault services (i.e., using the NetVault:Backup Configurator)
3. Open a terminal session and issue the following command to list the current NetVault driver entries:
ls -l /dev/nv*
4. The resulting output will appear, similar to the following for each device:
/dev/nv42 -> ../devices/pci@1c,600000/scsi@2,1/nv@5,0:42
The last segment of information reveals “/nv@5,0:42”. This information consists of the SCSI ID - “5”,
the LUN value - “0”, and the device instance number - “42”. Record all of these values for each
device revealed.
5. Determine which of the identified devices are actually in use by using the “prtconf” command:
prtconf | grep nv, | grep <device instance number>
If a value of “nv, instance <device instance number>” is returned, the device is in use, and should
be re-configured using the remaining steps illustrated here. Otherwise, it can remain unchanged.
6. Remove the existing NetVault driver by issuing the following command:
rem_drv nv
End User Release Notes - NetVault Backup 8.0
Page 7 of 20
7. With the driver removed, ensure that it’s related configuration file is renamed, in order to remove it,
but also preserve this file for future access, if necessary. This can be accomplished by issuing the following command:
rename /usr/kernel/drv/nv.conf /usr/kernel/drv/nvold.conf
8. Navigate to the following directory:
/kernel/drv/
9. Locate the “sgen.conf” file and open it for editing.
10.Add the following stanza to it:
-
#NV additions
device-type-config-list=“changer”
name=“sgen” class=“scsi” target=<SCSI ID> lun=<LUN value>
The “SCSI ID” and “LUN value” variables in the final line apply to what you recorded in Step 4 for
these values.
11. Save and close the file.
Important: if further changers are to be added in the future, it may be beneficial to add 'name' entries for all of
the currently unused “target” and “lun” combinations (i.e., in order to distinguish a specific device).
12.Update the SGEN driver to use the new configuration, by issuing the following command:
update_drv sgen
There will now be a new link created to the SCSI device using Solaris 10’s native SGEN driver, and
saved in the format “c<x>t<SCSI ID>d<LUN value>” (e.g., “c2t5d0”), in the directory,
“/dev/scsi/changer/”. Navigate to this directory, and make note of this link name (i.e., using the SCSI
ID - “t<x>” and LUN value “d<x>” to identify the file).
13.It is next necessary to identify the device to which the created link file applies. Issue the following
command to accomplish this (where “c<x>t<x>d<x>” applies to the link file identified in “/dev/scsi/
changer/”:
ls -l /dev/scsi/changer/c<x>t<x>d<x>
The command should return a result similar to the following:
/dev/scsi/changer/c<x>t<x>d<x> -> ../../../devices/pci@1c,600000/scsi@2,1/sgen@5,0:changer
14.Note all of the resulting information that occurs (e.g., in the above example, the resulting information
consists of “/devices/pci@1c,600000/scsi@2,1/sgen@5,0:changer”).
15.Navigate back to the directory housing the NetVault driver entry for this specific device -- “/dev/
nv<X>” (i.e., the path revealed for the selected device back in Step 4 -- “/dev/nv42” in that example), delete the entry in this directory, but leave the directory itself intact.
16.Re-link the new SGEN driver device, by issuing the following command (i.e., where the variable
“<path information for device>” refers to the resulting information recorded from Step 14, and the
variable “<x>” refers to the device’s instance number -- as noted in Steps 4 and 15).
ln -s <path information for device> /dev/nv<x>
17. Restart NetVault services (i.e., via the NetVault:Backup Configurator). The device will be available in
NetVault, using the SGEN driver.

7.0 - 既知の問題点
本セ ク シ ョ ン では、 NetVault Backup の既知の問題点について説明 し ます。
Known Issues with the NetVault:Backup File System Plugin
X Backup Through Mount Points Option (Windows ONLY) (NVG-3082) (NVG-3594) - All backup jobs
that utilize the “Backup Through Mount Points?” option that were originally created using a version of the
Filesystem Plugin prior to 7.1 should be recreated. Once the job is recreated, it is necessary to modify
the “Backup Through Mount Points” option manually and submit it. This option will need to be modified
manually every time the job is resubmitted.
X Unix File System on Windows Platform (FSG-29) - If you submit a job created for a Unix file system to
a Windows system, the job will complete with warnings, but no data will be backed up.
X Inclusion List Limitation (FSG-82) - When an inclusion list has 1,000,000 file entries or more, the
backup job will fail with the error “Can not allocate memory”.
X Backup of Symbolic Links (FSG-256) - When a symbolic link is selected for backup, only the information for the symbolic link is backed up and not the directory it points to.
X Backup Job is Delayed (FSG-389) - The start of a backup job may be delayed in an environment with a
large number of direct automounts on Solaris clients. This delay is caused when the Filesystem Plugin

attempts to mount all of the configured mount points. To prevent the Filesystem Plugin from attempting to
load all automounts one of the following solutions can be implemented.
Z Select the “Backup through remote mounts” option when submitting a backup job. This will prevent
the Filesystem Plugin from scanning for automounts.
Z Open the nvfs.cfg config file located under the NetVault installation path in the folder named “config”
and find the following stanza
[Performance:DoRecursiveAutoMountScan]
Value=TRUE
Change the value to FALSE so that the stanza reads
[Performance:DoRecursiveAutoMountScan]
Value=FALSE

X Browse Window in the Selection Tab is Delayed (FSG-372) - The display of the browse window in the
Filesystem plugin may be delayed in an environment with a large number of direct automounts on Solaris
clients. This delay is especially likely if a WAN connection is employed.
X Backup/Restore Windows File Short Names Options (FSG-46) - The following known issues apply to
the use of these options:
Z Incompatible with Windows 2000 - Short names are successfully backed up when the option is
enabled, but due to limitations with Windows 2000, they can not be successfully restored (However,
they can be recovered to another supported version of Windows).
Z Restoring Short Names Only Works if an Existing File with the Same Short Name Does NOT
Already Exist
Z Not supported with Windows Encryption and Windows Compression - If Microsoft Windows
based Compression and/or Encryption functionality are enabled on a target system, attempts to
backup/restore short names will fail.
Z Access Timestamp Reset (FSG-25) - When performing a backup with the File System Plugin, the
access timestamp established for directories will be reset from the last time the directory was actually
accessed, to the current date/time (because NetVault is effectively accessing the item for use). To
contradict this, arguments can be appended to nvfs.cfg file in NetVault that allow you to preserve
access timestamps on directories. If this is the case in your environment, enabling “Backup/Restore of
Windows File Short Names” will have no affect.
X Selections Not Recognized in Previously Created File System Plugin Jobs - This version of the File
System Plugin may not recognize data selections made for jobs created with previous versions of the
plugin (i.e., data items selected for inclusion in a File System Plugin backup job created with a previous
version of the plugin may not be recognized with this version of the plugin). Therefore, attempts to run the
job may fail. To resolve this issue, load the job, re-select the necessary data items and re-save it with the
same Job Title.
X Incompatibility with Some Older Version File System Plugin Backups - All backups made by very
old versions of the File System Plugin (i.e., from NetVault version 6.0.2 and earlier) will not be restored by
version 6.17 and later of the File System Plugin. The user will receive a log message and the job will fail.
The actual version of the File System Plugin used to create the backup to be restored will be needed to
recover this data.
X Changing a Directory to a Mount Point Causes Incremental Backup to Run as a Full Backup - If a
directory included in the Selection Set for a File System Plugin backup job is ever changed to a Mount
Point, any future Incremental backups performed using this Selection Set will be performed as Full backups (i.e., all selected data will be fully backed up). This will occur even if an intervening Full backup is
performed of the Selection Set (i.e., if a Full backup is performed to try to reset the Incremental scenario,
End User Release Notes - NetVault Backup 8.0
Page 10 of 20
future Incrementals will still be performed as fulls). To accommodate for this issue, you must recreate/
manually edit the Selection Set.
X Restoring over “Read Only” Files - It is not always possible to restore a file over a file marked as “readonly”. As a result, the plugin attempts to remove read-only status from a file before restoring over it.
Again, success is not guaranteed because the SetFileAttributes call is not sensitive to the elevated privileges of the plugin.
X Restoring Non-Encrypted Files Over Encrypted Ones - It is not possible to restore a non-encrypted
file over an encrypted file. To work around this, the plugin attempts to delete the encrypted file first.
Again, success is not guaranteed because the DeleteFile call is not sensitive to the elevated privileges of
the plugin.
Other Known Issues with NetVault:Backup
X Jobs with “Backup Stopped” or “Restarted Backup Stopped” Status are Unavailable After
Restarting the NetVault GUI (Affects All Language Versions EXCEPT English) (NVG-3972) - If
NetVault:Backup is configured for a language other than English and the NetVault:Backup GUI is
restarted, then all jobs with “Backup Stopped” or “Restarted Backup Stopped” status will no longer be
highlighted in blue and the “Restart Job” option will not be available.
X Windows Registry Value Causes Backups to Fail - There is a known issue with a DRM value in the
Windows registry called “FilesNotToBackup”. When upgrading from Windows Media Player 9 or 10 to
Windows Media Player 11 (or upgrading from Windows 2000 to 2003) this registry value is incorrectly terminated. A work-around for this issue is available:
Z Use regedit to edit the DRM value (path) and save the value. This will correct the termination of the
DRM value.
X NetVault Databases Check Commands (NVG-3895) - Running a database check command such as
nvmeddbcheck or nvscheddbcheck on a Netvault database created prior to NetVault:Backup version
7.4 will fail. A work-around for this issue is available:
1. Create a backup of the NetVault database using NetVault:Backup 8.0.
2. Delete the ScheduleDatabase and the MediaDatabase.
3. Restart the database.
4. Perform a full NVDB restore.
For more information on database check commands please refer to the NetVault:Backup CLI User’s
Guide.
X Startup Script Needs to Be Modified in Ubuntu (NVG-3646) - When attempting to install NetVault:
Backup on an Ubuntu OS, NetVault: Backup is mounted to a temporary file system by default which
causes it to be removed every time the OS shuts down. A work-around for this issue is available.
1. Locate the file /usr/netvault/etc/startup.sh.
2. Find the following section of the startup.sh file:
if [ $OS = Linux ]
then
touch /var/lock/subsys/netvault
3. Add the following entry (shown in bold) to the startup.sh file:
if [ $OS = Linux ]
then
[ -d /var/lock/subsys ] || mkdir -p /var/lock/subsys
touch /var/lock/subsys/netvault
End User Release Notes - NetVault Backup 8.0

X Locale of NetVault Server and NetVault Client (NVG-2810) - A NetVault Server and its Client must be
set to the same locale in order to display the NetVault GUI correctly.
X Restore Limitation of 2GB on Itanium Platforms (NVG-3643) - Attempting to restore an index larger
than 2GB may result in a failed restore on Itanium platforms. If a restore fails with the error message
“Failed when sorting items to restore” you will need to manually increase the stack size by using one of
the following methods:
Z On standard Unix platforms, this can be resolved by editing the ulimit (-s option) in the CLI Terminal
to increase the stack size. Open a CLI Terminal and utilize the following commands:
- “ulimit –a” provides all the settings for the environment
- “ulimit –s” provides the current stack size setting.
- “ulimit –s unlimited” sets an unlimited stack size.
- “ulimit –s n” (where n is the desired value) sets stack size to n.
- “man ulimit” provides for more details on the ulimit command.
After modification, enter a ‘ulimit –a’ command to ensure that the setting has been changed.
Z On a HP-UX IA64 platform the bash command kmtune or kctune (depending on the operating
system) can be used to access to the kernel stack size information. The stack vars are maxssiz for
32-bit applications and maxssiz_64bit for 64-bit applications. Open a CLI Terminal and utilize the following commands:
- “kmtune -l -q maxssiz” provides the verbose setting information for a 32-bit application.
- “kmtune -l -q maxssiz_64bit” provides the verbose setting information for a 64-bit application.
- “kmtune –u –s maxssiz=n” (where n is the desired value) sets the new stack size to n for a
32-bit application.
- “kmtune –u –s maxssiz_64bit =n” (where n is the desired value) sets the new stack size to n for
a 64-bit application.
- “kmtune –u –s maxssiz+n” (where n is the desired value) increases the stack size by n for a
32-bit application.
- “kmtune –u –s maxssiz_64bit +n” (where n is the desired value) increases the stack size by n
for a 64-bit application.
Note that all instances of “kmtune” should be replaced by “kctune” depending on the operating system. Enter the man command in a CLI Terminal for more details.
X CLI Issues (All CLI commands for version 8.0 of NetVault are documented in the NetVault:Backup Command Line Interface User’s Guide).
Z asf_load_media - This command will fail if the machine name contains any spaces.
Z asf_release_drive - When this command is issued to various brands of library device (e.g., those
containing various Exabyte or 9840 drives), a delay of up to eight (8) minutes may occur before the
media is unloaded. A known work-around for this issue is covered in the steps that follow:
1. Launch the GUI on the NetVault Server and access the Device Management window.
2. In the Devices tab, locate the target drive and right-click on it.
3. In the pop-up menu that appears, select the Unload command.
4. The drive will remain in an “Idle” state and the media will not be unloaded as expected. If the logs
for the selected device are viewed, an entry stating “Unload media in drive <X> failed - Device
unavailable” will now be revealed. Repeat Steps 2 - 3 a second time, and the media will be
unloaded.
Z nvacslsmedia - The range function does not work properly. The work-around is to explicitly run this
command for each media label/barcode the user wishes to allocate or deallocate. This can be accomplished in a script.
End User Release Notes - NetVault Backup 8.0
Page 12 of 20
Z nvexpiresaveset - Used with a NULL input for Saveset ID will cause random Saveset to be expired.
Z nvcleandrive - When a space character is all that is input for a library’s name with this command, the
first library in NetVault:Backup’s device management configuration will perform a clean operation on a
respective drive. For example, if the syntax ‘nvcleandrive -libraryname “<space character only>” librarydrivenumber <X>’ is input and executed, NetVault will automatically target the first library in its
configuration order (i.e., the first library displayed in the Devices tab of the Device Management window in the GUI), and perform a clean operation on drive “<X>”.
Z nvjoblist - When this command is initially issued, the output may not report consistently. The workaround suggested for this is to launch the NetVault:Backup GUI, access the Job Management window and then return to the Command Prompt/Terminal Session and re-issue the command.
Z nvjobmodify
- Does not function properly when this command’s “-type” switch is used in conjunction with it’s
“BS” option.
- The “-change” switch does not function properly when attempting to modify backup options for a
job.
- After execution of the command, the job is actually submitted to be run, even if the “-submit”
switch is not included in the syntax.
Z nvsetcreate - Data selections below the “Fixed Drives” level of the selection tree can not be named
using this command’s “-include” switch (i.e., it is only possible to include an entire fixed drive in the
the creation of a Backup/Restore Selection Set when using this command).
Z nvsetcleaninglives - Allows erroneous live count to be set.
Z nvsetdrivecleaning - The following are known issues with the use of this command:
- Does not support the use of multiple switches.
- Does not display drive cleaning properties correctly.
- If invalid input is provided with this command, actual drive properties may be changed. Ensure that
the syntax is properly input.
Z nvsyncronizesilomeda - CLI does not update media status in Device Management window for Windows-based installations.
Z nvremovemedia - With NULL string deletes first entry in media list.
Z CLI Commands will not Function Properly when the Locale is Set to a non-English Language When the language selection is set to anything other than English (i.e., in the Language Selection
field located in the General tab of the Configurator), attempts to use NetVault:Backup command line
interface commands may fail.
Z Duplicate CLI Utilities After Upgrade from Version 7.1.1 to 8.0 - With an installation of
NetVault:Backup Version 7.1.1, the CLI commands listed below were installed to the noted directories
(where “...” refers to the complete path to the installation of NetVault:Backup):
- nvreadlog: “.../netvault/bin”
- nvtrigger: “.../netvault/util”
- nvsettrace: “.../netvault/util”
Upgrades to Version 8.0 will install new versions of these same utilities in the following directories:
- nvsettrace: “.../netvault/bin”
- nvtrigger: “.../netvault/bin”
- nvreadlog: “.../netvault/util”
After upgrade, navigate to the “.../netvault/bin” directory and delete the 7.1.1 version of the “nvreadlog” utility (i.e., there should be no “nvreadlog” utility in the “.../netvault/bin” directory). Once com-
End User Release Notes - NetVault Backup 8.0
Page 13 of 20
pleted, navigate to the “.../netvault/util” directory and delete the 7.1.1 version of both the “nvtrigger”
and “nvsettrace” utilities, as well.
X Loss of the NetVault Database and Software Compression Functionality (VTL Devices, ONLY) - In
the event that you are to lose your NetVault Database and recover a backup of it, NetVault will be unable
to accurately report back the amount of space available on a virtual tape that contains backup job(s) that
had the Software Compression functionality enabled (i.e., the tape will not be automatically scanned by
the NetVault Device Manager -- The drive housing the media will be labeled as “Waiting for Media”, and
eventually time out, failing the job). This only appears to be an issue when the job targeting this type of
media also has the Software Compression functionality enabled. As a work-around, you can perform
either of the following:
Z Disable Software Compression and Re-launch the Job - In this instance, NetVault will perform the
automatic scan of the media and use it accordingly.
Z Manually Scan the Target Media - From the Device Management window, perform a full Scan of all
of the media currently present in the Virtual Library. If you have already encountered this issue, the
media may appear as if it has vanished from the Virtual Library. In this case, follow these steps:
1. Select the Media Request tab
2. Locate the request in the window and right-click on it.
3. Select the Hold command from the pop-up menu.
4. Return to the Devices tab and perform a full Scan of the VTL (i.e., right -click on the VTL node
and select the Scan command). The media will be returned to the drive.
5. Return to the Media Request tab, and take the Media Request off of “Hold”.
X Working with VMWare ESX Server - If this software component is in use, the following points must be
taken into consideration:
Z Client/SmartClient Use Only - This build is only supported for use as a NetVault Client or SmartClient within VMware guest operating environments
Z SCSI Drive Limitation - ESX Server and Virtual SmartClients should be configured with SCSI tape
drives only
Z SCSI IDs Must Match - The virtual SCSI ID must match the physical SCSI ID of the tape device
Z Robotic Arm Configuration Requirement - The Robotic Arm should only be configured through
non-virtual systems such as the backup server or service console server
Z Dynamic Drive Sharing Should Not be Used
Z Smart Client Performance - Performance with SmartClients is less than when using standard nonVM configurations
Z Restoring “vmdk” Files Directly into the VMFS - This is only supported to existing directories. Creating non-existent directory structures within this file system through the recovery job is not supported
Z Only Adaptec HBAs are Supported
X NetVault Does Not Recognize a Standalone Device (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, Update 1, Only) When a standalone tape device is locally attached to a machine running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4,
Update 1 (RHEL4U1), the device may not be recognizable to the NetVault Server. With this version of
RHEL, the SG driver used to support this form of device is not automatically loaded, and must be manually loaded on the RHEL4U1 system, in order to support these devices. After manual load of the driver, it
is necessary to stop and restart NetVault Services on the NetVault Server. This issue only occurs in
instances in which the RHEL4U1 machine does not also have some form of library/changer device locally
attached (i.e., the standalone device is the only type of backup device locally attached to the RHEL4U1
machine). The Linux “SG” driver is an upper level SCSI subsystem device driver that is used primarily to
handle devices such as a standalone tape drive. For complete details on obtaining and loading this
driver, please see the relevant RHEL4U1 documentation.
End User Release Notes - NetVault Backup 8.0
Page 14 of 20
X Stopping NetVault Services does not Log an Event in the Windows Application Event Log (Windows 2000 Installations, ONLY) - In previous versions of NetVault installed on a Windows 2000 system,
attempts to stop the NetVault Service would generate a log in the Windows Application Event Log. This
version of NetVault does not log an event when the service is stopped. This only applies to NetVault
installed on a Windows 2000 system (other Windows platforms will log the event).
X SVTL Error Logs Generated When No SVTL Devices Exist - In various instances, error messages
have been revealed in the NetVault Logs pertaining to Shared Virtual Tape Libraries (SVTL) when none
have been set up for use (e.g., Mar 17 05:10:06 NetVault[403]: NetVault: Client: '<client name>' Class:
'System' Job: 'N/A' Warnlevel: 'Error' Msg: 'Failed to spawn 'SVTL Library Manager' (/usr/netvault/bin/
nvsvtlchgmgr)). If no SVTL devices have been created, and these messages appear in the NetVault
Logs, they can be ignored.
X Inability to Have a Large Number of Jobs Running Simultaneously (Windows-based NetVault
Servers, ONLY) - The default value established for a Windows’ system memory setting, “non-interactive
desktop heap” has the potential to be exhausted if a large number of NetVault jobs are running simultaneously on the machine (e.g., tests running 30+ NetVault jobs have realized this error). As an end-result,
a certain number of the jobs will stay active and run, while the remainder of the jobs will fail (i.e., return a
result of “Job Died Unexpectedly” as its Run Status in the Job Management window). This is a
known Windows operating system issue, and specific changes to the O/S can be made to resolve it. If
running a large quantity of simultaneous jobs and this error occurs, please do not attempt to resolve it
yourself, but instead contact BakBone Technical Support for the resolution (please see on page 20 for
contact information.
X Certain Text is Partially Hidden in the Media Management Window - In certain instances when the
Media Management window is initially accessed, it will appear to crop text from the window. The proposed work-around for this issue is to simply resize the window. Once this is done, repeat attempts to
access the window will reveal it in its resized dimensions.Default Setting for Job Keep Alive Rate
Option in the NetVault:Backup Configurator May Result in Job Failures - Inactive message channels between the NetVault Server’s job manager and the APM/plugin installed on a target NetVault Client
may be seen as inferior by network administration configuration devices (e.g., routers, etc.), and may be
subsequently removed after a certain threshold. As a result, currently active jobs may fail. This can be
resolved by adjusting the time set for the Job Keep Alive Rate option in the Job Manager tab of the
NetVault:Backup Configurator from its default value of zero (e.g., to 5 minutes). For information on this
option and the Configurator, please see the NetVault:Backup - Configurator Guide (for 7.4.x).
X Default Setting for Job Keep Alive Rate Option in the NetVault:Backup Configurator May Result in
Job Failures - Inactive message channels between the NetVault Server’s job manager and the APM/plugin installed on a target NetVault Client may be seen as inferior by network administration configuration
devices (e.g., routers, etc.), and may be subsequently removed after a certain threshold. As a result, currently active jobs may fail. This can be resolved by adjusting the time set for the Job Keep Alive Rate
option in the Job Manager tab of the NetVault:Backup Configurator from its default value of zero (e.g., to
5 minutes). For information on this option and the Configurator, please see the NetVault:Backup - Configurator Guide (for 8.0).
X No Case-sensitivity when Setting Up and Using Group Labels - If two separate Group Labels are
created with the same name, but are differentiated through the use of capital letters (e.g., “Group-1” and
“group-1” are created as separate Group Labels), NetVault may ignore this difference and assume that
all of the media between the two groups actually only exist in a single group. For example, “Group-1” and
“group-1” were created, and separate pieces of media are included in each group. If Group-1 is called
out for use in a job, NetVault may include not only the media established in “Group-1” but also those
named in “group-1” (i.e., NetVault will ignore the capitalization difference and assume that only one
Group Label actually exists, thereby including all media named in both groups).
End User Release Notes - NetVault Backup 8.0
Page 15 of 20
X Consolidate Incremental Backup Plugin Backups and Expired Backup Savesets - In the event that
a backup saveset has expired (i.e., it has reached its designated Backup Life, as set in the Advanced
Options tab in the Backup window), an attempt to include this retired backup in a new Consolidated Full
backup will not reveal a result of “Failed”, as it should. Instead, the backup will attempt to run and return
a completion status of “Completed with Warnings”. In actuality, the Consolidate job will fail and inspection of the NetVault:Backup Log entries for the job will reveal such (e.g., An entry of “LogError” with the
accompanying message, “No backups for set <backup saveset name> found”). This should only be
an issue if a Consolidate Incremental Backups Plugin backup has been scheduled to occur at a later
time, and any target backup saveset is retired before the scheduled run time for the Consolidated
backup. Therefore, to avoid this issue, ensure that your Consolidate backup is scheduled to run before
the Backup Life for its target backup savesets have elapsed. If setting up a new Consolidate job, this will
not be an issue, because only currently available backup savesets will be revealed for inclusion in the
Consolidated backup (i.e., retired backup savesets will not be shown for selection).
X Delete Non-Scheduled Jobs Option Deletes Triggered Jobs - This option is intended to delete any
non-scheduled jobs, after a specified amount of time. However, since jobs using the “Triggered” schedule
type have no physical scheduled time, they are also deleted after the input amount of time elapses. If you
are using Triggered jobs in your NetVault environment, do not use the Delete Non-Scheduled Jobs
functionality.
X Selecting Multiple Duplication Jobs and Using the “Run Now” Command will Result in Failed
Jobs - If multiple jobs that have been set up as a duplications (i.e., via the “Duplication” option in the
Advanced Options tab of the Backup window), are selected in the Job Management or Status windows of the GUI and the Run Now command is used via the pop-up menu, the jobs will fail.
X NetVault:Backup GUI can Shut Down when the Client View Button in the Policy Management Window is Clicked Multiple Times (Linux-based Installations, ONLY) - If you are to click on the Client
View button in the Policy Management window more than once, and then close the Policy Management window, the GUI will shut down. There is no data loss as a result of this shut down.
X Running a Multi-job with Auto-Deletion Set to Default (i.e., “On”) in the NDMP Plugin - Parent and
child jobs may still be visible when opening the Job Manager. This is a refresh issue and can be overcome by closing the NetVault GUI and reopening it. There is no need to stop/restart NetVault services.
X Problem of NVDB restore on NetVault 8.0. - Restoring of events is not working, but full restores do
complete successfully. In addition, do not individually select the “Events” item when restoring the
NetVault Database.
X NetVault:Backup 8.0 Installation Fails if Installation Directories are Mount Points (Linux/UNIXbased O/S Only) - The NetVault installation script tries to delete the existing contents on the mount point
(which isn’t allowed in a UNIX-based environment) and the installation will fail. To work-around this issue,
create a sub-directory below the mount point, and install NetVault to that directory.
X Unable to set a Drive Offline and Bring the Drive Back online (Drive goes down) - For physical
drives, when media is in the device, you can not bring the drive online. The user must either stop and
restart NetVault, or remove the media before bringing the drive online. This functionality works correctly
for Virtual Drives and Libraries but not for Standalone drives.
X Issue with Data Copy Plugin Backups of NetWare Thin Client Full/Incremental Backup Series When a Data Copy Plugin backup is set up for a NetWare Thin Client Plugin backup, and the “Automatically Get a Set’s Last Full Backup” option is enabled in the Backup Options tab, NetVault will target the actual last backup performed for the data copy, regardless if that last backup was a Full or
Incremental backup (i.e., the “Automatically Get a Set’s Last Full Backup” option sees all NetWare
Thin Client Plugin backups as Full backups).
X Issue with Installation Script on Solaris platform - Even though NVDB is not installed on NetVault:
Backup Clients, the installation script prompts for the NVDB path during client installations on Solaris
End User Release Notes - NetVault Backup 8.0
Page 16 of 20
platform. This path can be left as is during installation as NVDB location is irrelevant for NetVault: Backup
Clients.
X Non-English Version/Localization Known Issues - All of the points that follow correspond to Known
Issues that apply only to non-English versions of this release of NetVault:Backup:
Z If Asianux 2.0 machine is rebooted, nvpmgr starts with LANG=C - After installing NetVault 8.0 on
Miracle Linux 4.0 (LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8), nvpmgr starts in LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8. However, if the
machine is rebooted, nvpmgr starts in LANG=C (actually, no LANG setting). NetVault cannot display
Japanese UTF-8 characters correctly because it looks like the UTF-8 -> EUC conversion function
does not get activated. The work around for this is to set LANG in startup.sh.
Z Use of Non-English Characters in the Set Filter Options Window - Various fields of the Set Filter
Options window (i.e., accessed from the Job Management window) do not allow for the input of nonEnglish characters.
Z End User License Agreement (EULA) Display Issue - If the default locale is changed (e.g., from
UTF8 to EUC or vice-versa), the EULA may not be displayed properly. The proposed work-around for
this issue is to use an EUC displayable terminal to view the EULA.
Z Display of Simple Chinese Characters in Microsoft Windows XP Installations - This format of
character is not properly displayed when performing backup and restore operations from a Windows
XP installation of NetVault:Backup. The recommended work-around is to access the General tab in
the NetVault:Backup Configurator and set the Language drop-down option to “English”.
Z Display of Characters on the Main GUI May Not Display Properly in Japanese/Korean Locales
Running a Linux IA64 Operating System (NVG-1463) - The labels accompanying the large buttons
in the main window of the GUI my not display properly in these environments.

resolved in this release.
NVG-1721
Error Occurs when NetVault is Removed from a System and then is Re-installed to
that System (Solaris (SPARC) O/S ONLY) - In the previous release of NetVault:Backup
if NetVault was uninstalled on a machine running Solaris (SPARC) certain NetVault directories remained on that machine that caused re-installation to fail. This issue has been
resolved in this release.
NVG-1852
Various NetVault:Backup Reports Are Not Generated when Run (Linux Itanium
Installations, ONLY) - In the previous release of NetVault:Backup the error message,
"Failed to run reporting job. Failed when running job to produce output. Please see job
log." would be returned when various reports were selected from the Reports window and
run on a Linux Itanium NetVault Server. This issue has been resolved in this release.
NVG-2122
NetVault:Backup GUI May Inadvertently Shut Down in Japanese EUC Locale Installations (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server Installations, ONLY) - In the previous release of NetVault:Backup various navigation operations in the NetVault:Backup
GUI caused NetVault to shut down abnormally in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced
Server installations. This issue has been resolved in this release.
NVG-2126
Status Window Operator Message Frame Corruption on Linux-based O/S (Japanese EUC) - In the previous release of NetVault:Backup messages in the Operator Messages frame of the Status window that were not acknowledged (i.e., those entries that
appear in bold text in this frame) were displayed incorrectly in Japanese EUC installations of NetVault:Backup. This issue has been resolved in this release.
NVG-2837
In the previous release of NetVault:Backup in some cases it was not possible to create an
SVTL on a Unix platform because they were incorrectly identified as tape drives. In this
release a new SVTL config file allows alternate devices to be specified. For example:
[DeviceNode:Solaris]
device=emcpower
