SEP sesam Release 3.6

New Systems Now Supported

  • Windows 2008 R2

  • RHEL 3
  • FreeBSD 5/6
  • all Linux with glibc < 2.1
  • Windows 2000
  • OpenSuSE 10.3 (this was never officially supported)

This does not affect SEP sesam Client packages. For a definitive list of supported SEP sesam Clients please see SEP sesam Support Matrix.

End of Support

Support for SEP sesam Server 3.0 will end on 31. Aug 2011. For supported operating systems and client support see the SEP sesam support matrix.

Known Issues

  • Attempted interrupts of migrations and restore will not work, they will continue until completion.
  • Saveset Copy and Migration functionality has been enhanced.


Attention Saveset Copy and Migration

Functionality has been enhanced. Existing migration tasks are now entered into new tables during database update. However it is recommended that you check for all previously entered migration tasks after the update in the GUI.


Included Sesam extensions

The following Sesam extensions are now included in all base installation packages:

  • MySQL
  • Open LDAP
  • Open-Xchange
  • Scalix
  • Zarafa

So there is no longer a requirement to download them from the extensions directory.

New features

Backup status

More flexible display of backup results.

  • Select only results of a task or task group
  • Tree table to show only backup group results
  • Hide migrations and media result entries
  • Visible columns can be selected

Command Line Interface

SEP sesam can now be configured completely by command line. Please read the Command Line Interface documentation

Migration

The 'saveset' migration has been completely redesigned. In particular, more selection filters have been added:

  • Task
  • Task group
  • Media label

Migration now uses its own internal database tables and no longer uses those from the restore function.

Enhanced GUI logging

All GUI actions are now logged on SEP Sesam server side

Ingres

New SEP sesam module for online backups of Ingres databases.

Media read check

The new function Media read check allows regular 'read verification' checks of written media.

GUI

  • Online help now links to SEP WIKI.
  • For Novell clients login information can be entered task based. This is useful if eDirectory and filesystem backups require different authorization.
  • Selection of backup source for VCB by GUI is possible.
  • The Client browser can be used to select an MS SQL database as a backup source.
  • The new window Job State - Media Actions allows you to get an overview regarding media related actions, e.g. introduction of a media.
  • All Job State - xxx windows are redesigned to allow individual adaption of visible columns, sizes and filters.
  • The spinners for date time and the underlying calendar function are improved, e.g. usability and only valid entries are accepted.

Other

  • Faster restore from DISK devices
  • Datamover can now be used for Novell backups on Linux, as well. This allows Failover support on clustered Novell Linux Open Enterprise servers.
  • In case of a backup of a task type which does not support DIFF/INCR the level is automatically adjusted to backup level COPY.
  • As sbc for Windows is now fully supporting file names coded with Unicode the special Windows task type win32-unicode with backup command sbc_uc.exe is removed. In case of an update the tasks with type win32-unicode will remain but as soon as Windows clients are updated to version 3.6 the task type in the already defined backup tasks should be changed into 'Path'.
  • If a Windows backup protocol ends with state warning due to open files then the use of VSS Snapshots should be taken into account. In general backups should be configured to end with final state successful and all other states must be avoided.
  • Windows System Tray is fully redesigned and now available on x86 and x64.

Fixed Issues

You will find the complete change report generated by CVS in the download center.

  • Media could be overwritten during migration.
  • Set semaphore before modifying sms.ini file to avoid corruption, if more then one sm_config_drive process is working on it (e.g. Cluster).
  • Restart media init, if tape trailer could not be read. Avoids failed backups because data couldn't be appended on tape.
  • Check for fatal hardware errors from sm_loader and return with error in this case, instead of increasing EOL of medium and requesting next one.
  • Adjust EOL of a backup medium only, if new EOL is after current EOL.
  • Don't remove LIS files of migrated savesets if saveset is already in state 'M'.
  • Speed up display of restore tree in 'Restore Wizard': Call all functions by reference instead of value because copy of input structure requires too much time.
  • For generation restore: Avoid selection of files from generation select file including saveset id in file name.
  • Allocate only real line length of LIS file, instead of maximum line length to avoid out of memory problem during creation of select list.
  • Do not kill init script itself during /etc/init.d/sesam restart on SEP sesam client.
  • Improved transfer of selected file list to RDS. Old transfer of file list was time consuming if a huge amount of files was selected.

System requirements

  • Java Runtime Environment >=1.6 for SEP sesam server and GUI
  • .NET Framework 2.0 Redistributable (x86)/(x64) for SEP sesam server (New system Tray): Microsoft Download: (x86) (x64)
  • min. of 2 GB free disk space

Update

  • Before starting the update of the SEP sesam Server version make sure that SESAM_BACKUP has been executed successfully.
  • Check for a valid update license.
  • JRE 1.6. - Please check the Sesam/JRE support matrix.
  • The communication between Sesam Server and GUI has been changed, therefore the Sesam GUI client must be updated after the server update, as well.
  • Note: The Sesam GUI from 3.6 will no longer connect to a 3.4 server.



Note

SEP sesam GUI Jar file has been divided into two parts. So the JAVA 'Class Path' must be changed:

UNIX

  <SESAM_ROOT>/bin/gui/sm_gui.jar:<SESAM_ROOT>/bin/gui/sm_lib.jar

Windows

  <SESAM_ROOT>\bin\gui\sm_gui.jar:<SESAM_ROOT>\bin\gui\sm_lib.jar

Update Notes for Debian etch

If upgrading a sesam server on Debian etch, please ensure you have installed a valid sun-java6-bin or openjdk 6 Package, otherwise apt-get dist-upgrade will remove an existing Sesam Server installation due to unmet dependencies!

Kernel

  • BUGFIX: (#10144): Fix generation restore with migrated savesets
  • BUGFIX: (#10144) Selective restore: Don't select files from LIS matching only the begin of selected item. Change in version 1.361 didn't fix problem completely
  • BUGFIX: (#10144) Use start time of original saveset to build Full/Diff/Incr chain, in case of migrated savesets
  • BUGFIX: (#10166) Don't release 'find_load_backup_medium_' semaphore after 'i_CHECK_BACKUP_MEDIUM', but keep it until medium is really loaded. Else following backups will not recognize tape label change from GET_VOLUME (bugfix is in: sm_sbc_com_lib.c 1.61.2.1)
  • BUGFIX: Avoid failure 'The descriptor is not a socket.' (WSAENOTSOCK) if sm_ctrlc is called on Windows with option -d (double) (Reason: SOCKET is unsigned)
  • BUGFIX: If serv_get_tape_label() was called with Disposition 'E' (called when tape is mounted for WRITE) then after reading TapeTrailer tape was rewinded(!) bcs. reading TapeTrailer overwrites Disposition in union structure BCK_MESSAGE

CTRLC

  • CHANGE: Set default wait before sending OOB signal to 50 msec.

  • BUGFIX: (#10029) w2kss.dll: Since Visual Studio 2008 using wstring without method c_str() to convert into wchar_t* could lead to a core dump during system_state backup of NTDS on Windows 2008 x86

SBC DB2 (Windows)

  • BUGFIX: (#9732) On x64 platform long has size 8 bytes so 'typedef long BSA_Int32' must be changed into 'typedef int BSA_Int32' and resp. 'typedef unsigned int BSA_UInt32' otherwise xbsa structures will have different size and DB2 backup will fail with: BSACreateObject: ObjectName.objectSpaceName is empty
  • BUGFIX: Avoid coredump of db2, if backup is interrupted by Sesam.

SBC MSSQL

  • BUGFIX: (#10273) MS SQLServer 2000 needs restore log with command 'RESTORE LOG ....' so g_sSBC_Argument.eLEVEL must be set to BACKUP_INCREMENTAL in case of SI... saveset (again). Only in case of SEL restore the level is unchanged.

  • BUGFIX: If java exists under gv_ro_bin or if not then if it is set in sm.ini under [JAVA] with java_interpreter=... then executable for java should be set with such value and not via PATH (sm_smtp)
  • BUGFIX: (#9511) Don't try to copy leading BSR Windows saveset, because it is only a dummy with no real data saved. Copy of this saveset will always fail and reported as error in GUI migration results view
