Hi, Client here was Linux ppc64le and support for DDboost client direct backup was not introduced in NMDA until version 9.2 for this OS.  Other linux x64 clients were also running 9.1.0.2 but the libraries required for DDboost were not present in the /usr/lib64 directories.  There were also some other minor name resolution issues which need correcting to allow communication to be established.  Running save -D 5 /etc/hosts on the Linux clients highlighted what the particular issues were on the hosts e.g. failing back to traditional backup as library not available, DD server not reachable etc. ppc64le/NMDA clients need NW 9.2 software installed - others with missing libraries we would also upgrade as its the same amount of work as deinstalling/reinstalling old version. name resolution and networking (ping/traceroute) checks also required to ensure connectivity can be established. Regards,
Hi,  We have the NW 9.1 deployed on a VM. OS is Win 2012 R2. We are expecting backup slowness on our DB client. It contains ~1.4 TB data. We are use the client direct for backup the data to DD. To investigate this issue we have rendered the daemon.raw file in the NW server and go through it. Then we are able to identified client direct backup it not happening. Pls refer the below log output.  70896 9/19/2018 4:00:50 AM  0 0 2 8440 1320 0 win-afvg9er8ckm nsrd NSR info prdbsvr1:DB2:/PB_PROD/NODE0000 saving to pool 'Digital_Banking_Prod_DB' (DigitalBankingProdDB.001) 91797 9/19/2018 4:00:50 AM  4 5 0 4664 9432 0 win-afvg9er8ckm nsrmmd NSR severe Unable to perform direct file save with Data Domain device 'DWHDD1_Digital_Banking_Prod_DB'; setting up traditional save for save-set ID '3600907418' (prdbsvr1:DB2:/PB_PROD/NODE0000) 71659 9/19/2018 7:44:12 AM  0 0 2 8440 1320 0 win-afvg9er8ckm nsrd NSR info prdbsvr1:DB2:/PB_PROD/NODE0000 done saving to pool 'Digital_Banking_Prod_DB' (DigitalBankingProdDB.001) 1358 GB 70896 9/19/2018 7:44:15 AM  0 0 2 8440 1320 0 win-afvg9er8ckm nsrd NSR info prdbsvr1:DB2:/PB_PROD/NODE0000 saving to pool 'Digital_Banking_Prod_DB' (DigitalBankingProdDB.001) 91797 9/19/2018 7:44:15 AM  4 5 0 4664 9432 0 win-afvg9er8ckm nsrmmd NSR severe Unable to perform direct file save with Data Domain device 'DWHDD1_Digital_Banking_Prod_DB'; setting up traditional save for save-set ID '2124525815' (prdbsvr1:DB2:/PB_PROD/NODE0000)  Then we have check the connectivity between the client and DD vice versa. Connectivity is fine. And we are use the dedicated VLAN for the backup purpose. That means all the backup clients and DD are in the same range.   How can we solve this issue. Pls advised.
