Did you know? When you received a hotfix for a previous Data Protector (minor) version, you should make sure the hotfix is included in the patch bundle before applying the patch bundle. This is recommended for customers which may have received the hotfix right before the release of the patch bundle. If your hotfix is not included in the patch bundle open a software case and ask for assistance.
Hallo,
vielen Dank erst einmal für das zuverlässige Update über Patches!
Könnten Sie den Punkt
– Paralleles vmdk Backup mit der VMware Integration
Bzw.:
Change Request: QCCR2A59436:
Symptom:
Data Protector Virtual Environment Integration (VEA) agent VMware
integration does not support backup of Virtual Machine disks in parallel.
Resolution:
Data Protector Virtual Environment Integration (VEA) agent VMware
integration now supports backup of Virtual Machine disks in parallel.
Etwas näher erläutern?
HI Markus,
in the past it was possible to backup only a few machines in parallel. If a VM consists with more than one disk, the process for the backup was a serial behavior, vmdk by vmdk. With the new feature it now becomes available to backup those disks in parallel, allowing for a faster processing of a VM.
Best regards
Daniel
Oracle 10g support reintroduced – YES!!
Hello, can I upgrade from version 9.0.2 to 9.0.5 immediately. Or should consistently (9.0.2 -9.03.-9.0.4-9.0.5)?
Yes, you can. No need to install all bundles.
Hi Daniel,
We upgraded from 9.04 to 9.05. When I look under the clients in DP gui, The version shows 9.05 for several of the components, but then others show as 9.00. The one that causes me the most concern is that the MS Exchange Granular recovery component shows as 9.00.
Hi Tara,
yes this might be true for several hosts, it’s not a specific problem for ESE GRE.
When you check the client using the button “Patches” you should recognize that all components are running on 9.05.
You may try “check installation” for this client or export / import client. At least for me it changed the view.
Best regards
Daniel
danielbraun, Thank you!
Then I upgrade to 9.0.5. It is necessary to update the firmware storeonce to 3.12 on the side or suitable firmware 3.11?
Hi,
3.11 should work. However I recommend to upgrade to 3.13.1 (should be available these days) to stay current… Installing the new version is not a big deal if you are prepared and have planned downtime.
Best regards
Daniel
danielbraun, Thank you very match!
