Please disable debugging after CM Upgrade

Michael Funke

After upgrading a CM from 10.91 to 23.4 (or similar), every (!) backup is started in debug mode. If you're not careful, disks can fill up and systems can come to a standstill. The only thing that helps is a reboot of the CM. This problem exists for a…

Show client type in list of clients

Ulrich Windl

We use Virtual Hosts a lot. Unfortunately after importing such, it's no longer obvious from the client list what is a physical client, and what is a logical client (not talking about other types of clients). It would be nice to have an overview of clients…

Gerd Kehrbusch

This Product claims, that it's "Common Criteria" certified (only windows! https://www.niap-ccevs.org/Product/Compliant.cfm?PID=11048 ), but it's forcing linux systems to disable security mechanism that are provided by the OS. If you run it on a actual…

DataProtector support for DB2 11.5

Tomas Sukys

Hello, Is it planned to have DataProtector to support DB2 11.5 database on Suse Linux 15 any time soon? Maybe with the next DataProtector update? It's really annoying that our landscape updates (databases, OS, applications) are blocked due to slow…

Data Protector Installation Server - changing /tmp directory for the clients

Thangaraj Ganesan

Due to security reason, all the Linux client servers /tmp is restricted with "noexec" . We are looking for the option to try/change installation instead of /tmp to some other directory on the clients. By keeping /tmp with “noexec” option, what is the…

Allow coexistence of Reporting Server and Data Protector Client

Ulrich Windl

For DP 10.91 it seems you cannot add a DA (disk agent) and a Reporting Server to a "client": You can install the DA via GUI, and it verifies OK, but after you've installed the Reporting Server also, "Check Installation" fails in the GUI (and the RS…

Make Cell manager (and maybe others) cluster-aware (e.g. for Linux pacemaker cluster)

Ulrich Windl

I had been using Data Protector with HP-UX on Itanium with a ServiceGuard cluster. When moving to Linux and a pacemaker cluster I thought it's no problem to set up Data Protector to run in a cluster, as basically the only feature required is listening…

Update the IDB RDBMS (PostgreSQL 9.1)

Ulrich Windl

The RDBMS used for the IDB (PostgreSQL 9.1) is terribly outdated; why not use one that is not more than 5 years old and has support for at least three more years (like PostgreSQL 12.2)?

Support Reporting Server on SLES15 SP3

Ulrich Windl

Reporting Server is not supported on SLES 15 yet. SLES12 is supported, but it still uses LSB scripts to manage services, even though SLES12 uses systemd exclusively. Using LSB scripts with systemd requires installation of deprecated compatibility…

Update Embedded Python Libraries to a Supported Version

ratkinsonuk

The Python distribution embedded into the Data Protector installation goes unsupported in a few months time. Ignoring the fact that it's a security vulnerability being so old, it should be a supported version at the very least.

ttodorov6

The DP 10.90 installation crashes if the DisableRootAutoUpdate key is set to 1. Please mitigate this as it prevents the installation process to succeed in a highly secured environments.

Add recommended AV exclusions to the DP documentation

rusanovd

Data Protector is known to experience a performance hit if antivirus is enabled, but I could not find any recommendations in the official DP documentation, except for GRE. There are DP Support Tips in the forum (e.g. /img/bandr/f/itrc-251/218528/dp-support…

About Ipv6

suxin1980

If the customer’s environment does not use IPv6, however, DP will use IPv6 for communication, causing the backup to fail. In /etc/xinetd.d/omni, flags = IPV6 is the default option. I hope to add some notes about not using IPv6 in the installation document…

Implement centralized PKI

Kaustav

Make a centralized PKI, so that there would be no self-signed certificate, and there would be no need for the command "omnicc -secure_comm -configure_peer <host> [-accept_host]". This command is an overhead, especially when there are many clients involved…

5555/5565 mixing

Aleksandr_Sviridov
