Chapter 1
CYA Solution Overview
CYA HOTBackup enables companies to mitigate and even eliminate planned Documentum downtime by
performing hot, consistent backups of the entire Documentum application that are automatically stored
and managed within EMC NetWorker, EMC Avamar, Symantec NetBackup or IBM Tivoli Storage
Manager. CYA HOTBackup software can leverage the existing components of your backup solution in
such a way as to perform a consistent backup of all Documentum components, avoiding the following:

Orphaned Content: Content files that are unreferenced in the database


Broken Links: Database references that point to content that does not exist

It is possible for a very small number of content files to be backed up that are unreferenced in the
database; this ensures that no broken links (see below) will exist.

CYA HOTBackup is designed to automate the backup processes associated with Documentum and
provide more synchronous backups of your entire Documentum environment. It is not a stand-alone
backup tool; therefore, it requires existing backup software to operate.
CYA HOTBackup is designed to integrate seamlessly with CYAs flagship product, CYA
SmartRecovery. CYA SmartRecovery mitigates unplanned Documentum downtime by enabling hot,
granular recovery of Documentum objects in response to logical failures such as viruses, power surges,
and user/programmatic errors.

on each server to be backed up by CYA HOTBackup
Windows default installation path: C:\Program Files\Legato\nsr\bin
Linux/Unix default installation path: /usr/sbin

Avamar prerequisites:

Administrators Guide

P a g e | 13

Append the absolute path of the backup software client directory to the PATH environment variable
on each server to be backed up by CYA HOTBackup
Windows default installation path: C:\Program Files\avs\bin
Linux/Unix default installation path: /usr/local/avamar/bin

NetBackup prerequisites:

Append the absolute path of the backup software client directory to the PATH environment variable
on each server to be backed up by CYA HOTBackup
Windows default installation path: C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin
Linux/Unix default installation path: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin
Create one or more policies to be used by CYA HOTBackup. Add a user backup schedule called
"User" to the policies. If you would like to use a default policy, the policy creation is not necessary,
however, you must still add the "User" schedule to the policy.
Using the concurrent DB & FTI jobs option requires the CYA HOTBackup client to be installed on the
NetBackup server.
Install CYA HOTBackup Client on the NetBackup server and add the "admincmd" folder (under the
NetBackup bin directory) to the PATH environment variable. Note the CYA HOTBackup client user
name and password just created. These will be used in the "Manage HOTBackup Client Settings for
NetBackup Server" section in the CYA HOTBackup settings page.
The FTI policy name used in this option needs to be unique for identifying activity of the job. Create a
new policy described above. The policy name will be used for the "FTI Policy Name" field in the CYA
HOTBackup job configuration page (also the "Wait for FTI backup to complete" checkbox needs to be
unchecked for this option).
Using the multi-streaming option for SA backups requires the CYA HOTBackup client to be installed
on the NetBackup server.
Install CYA HOTBackup Client on the NetBackup server and add the "admincmd" folder (under the
NetBackup bin directory) to the PATH environment variable. Note the CYA HOTBackup client user
name and password just created. These will be used in the "Manage HOTBackup Client Settings for
NetBackup Server" section in the CYA HOTBackup settings page.
Create a new policy used for the SA backup on the master server. For the full job create a full backup
schedule called Full. For the incremental job create an incremental backup schedule called
Incremental. Add the content server machine name in the Clients tab and leave Backup
Selections empty. Check the Allow multiple data streams checkbox in the Attributes tab. The
policy name will be used for the "SA Policy Name" field in the CYA HOTBackup job configuration
page (also the "SA Backup on the Master Server" checkbox needs to be checked for this option).
Create any policy(ies) you wish to use for the backup jobs prior to configuring the backups in CYA
HOTBackup. If planning to leverage the NetBackup for SQL Server Agent, you must create at least
one MS-SQL-Server type policy. The DB server must be listed as a client for this policy.

TSM prerequisites:

Append the absolute path of the backup software client directory to the PATH environment variable
on each server to be backed up by CYA HOTBackup
Windows default installation path: C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient
Linux/Unix default installation path: /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin
Set the DSM_DIR environment variable on each server to be backed up by CYA HOTBackup

Administrators Guide

P a g e | 14

Windows default installation path: C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient


Linux/Unix default installation path: /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin
Set the DSM_CONFIG environment variable on each server to be backed up by CYA HOTBackup
Windows default installation path: C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsm.opt
Linux/Unix default installation path: /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.opt
The archive storage pool is required on the TSM server since CYA HOTBackup uses the "dsmc
archive" command.

Backup Client Requirements

All Documentum server components must have an existing backup client installed on them prior to
configuring CYA HOTBackup:
o Content Server: Must have the File System Client from the backup software vendor
o FTI Server: Must have the File System Client from the backup software vendor
o Database Server: Must have the appropriate database-specific client from the backup
software vendor, OR a standard backup client and a database-vendor specific backup
solution such as Microsoft SQL VSS or Oracle RMAN

Appropriate Networker, NetBackup or Tivoli Storage Manager DB Modules are required if you plan
to use Networker, NetBackup or Tivoli Storage Manager to back up the database(s) in your
environment. Alternatively, HOTBackup supports the usage of database-specific backup software,
such as SQLServer VSS or Oracle RMAN.

To ensure successful backups, permissions must be granted appropriately for all files to be backed up.
This includes:

All filestore directories and files

All database data and log files

All FTI files

Any Installation & Configuration Files (ICF) that need to be backed up

The user to which the permissions must be granted for all files listed, as well as any other files that
require backing up, varies based on the OS being used:

On Windows: The user configured as the service logon account for CYA HOTBackup Client services.
By default, for Documentum content, only the SYSTEM user and the Documentum Installation Owner
are granted access.
On UNIX/LINUX: The user that started the HOTBackup Client. By default, for Documentum content,
only the Documentum Installation Owner is granted access.

If you are backing up a remote file system, such as a UNC-path, the CYA HOTBackup client service is
required to be configured with permissions to access the file system.
it is required that a user running the CYA HOTBackup client has the proper permissions to access
the content.
If backing up any files or directories via NFS using Symantec NetBackup, you must enable the
"Follow NFS" option in the policy.
If backing up files or directories in a different file system using Symantec NetBackup, enable the
"Cross Mount Points" option in the policy.

Chapter 2
Server Installation
Installation of the CYA HOTBackup Server is completed by deploying the cyahotbackup.war file. The
typical methods for deploying are via Tomcat Manager or by copying the cyahotbackup.war to the
webapps directory:
Deploy from Tomcat Manager
1. Open tomcat manager in browser (http://<host>:<port>/manager)
2. Browse to WAR file to deploy section, and click Browse
3. Choose CYA HOTBackup war file (cyahotbackup.war), and click Open
4. Click Deploy
Deploy from webapps directory
1. Copy cyahotbackup.war to Tomcat webapps directory.
2. Verify the war file was deployed on the Apache Tomcat instance, if the war file does not deploy on its
own you will need to restart the Apache Tomcat instance.

Client Installation
The CYA HOTBackup Client components must be installed on all remote machines. To install the Client,
run the installer and the Wizard will guide you. The CYA HOTBackup client must be installed by the
same OS user used to install the software relevant to Documentum on that server. Please see below:

Content Server: DM Install Owner


FTI Server: FTI Install Owner
Oracle DB Server: Oracle Install user
MS SQL DB Server: Admin user

On UNIX/LINUX:

If a console installation is desired, specify -i console on the command line.


The CYA HOTBackup client will be automatically started after the installation, however, if you
need to start/stop/restart it at later time (for example, after rebooting the machine) you need to
manually run the "cyahbclientservice.sh" script. For example, run the command
"./cyahbclientservice.sh start".

Server Initial Configuration


Once the CYA HOTBackup software is successfully installed, you can address your web browser to:
http://[machine name]:[Apache Port number]/cyahotbackup
The following screen will be displayed:

Please enter a Directory to be used to store the CYA HOTBackup application settings. A small database
will be created in this directory, as well as some helper files required by the HOTBackup software. Please
note this directory must already exist, as it will not be created automatically by the Wizard. It is
recommended that the directory be empty.
If there is a previous installation of CYA HOTBackup and you would like to recreate all DB tables, enable
the Recreate CYA Tables if they already exist checkbox. Please note that by recreating CYA tables all
previously entered configuration will be lost. You also have the option to upgrade existing tables; for
clients upgrading from v.2.0 or v.3.0 (no changes from v.3.1.x), this option should be selected if you wish
to keep your configurations.
If you would like to reuse the same database and configuration files as a previous installation, be sure to
choose the same Directory as before.

If you would like to upgrade your existing DB tables from a previous CYA HOTBackup installation
older than v.3.1, you must verify the provided DB scripts in the CYA HOTBackup installation
directory BEFORE you complete this page and select "Configure". Navigate to [Installation
Directory]/WEB-INF/classes/scripts and rename the correct script from the list below to
"upgrade_hb_database.sql". This will require first renaming the existing script by that name.
The following scripts are available:

"upgrade_hb_database_20_to_32.sql" is used to upgrade v2.0 to v3.2


"upgrade_hb_database_30_to_32.sql" is used to upgrade v3.0 to v3.2

Known Issues and Notes
Notes

It is strongly recommended that you ensure a NetWorker backup job is configured to perform regular
backups of the NetWorker server bootstrap and client file index.
If a CYA HOTBackup job is manually terminated and not allowed to complete, including situations in
which a server is restarted or a CYA HOTBackup backup session is manually terminated through the
backup server software, please follow these steps to ensure the Documentum jobs are properly
restarted:

Fast Index server - Go to FTI client and start the FAST InStream service (if applicable).
xPlore - Using a browser, navigate to: http://<fti client host>:9200/IndexAgent1/ and execute Start action
for the repository by selecting "Start" from the drop-down BEFORE logging in.
Maintenance jobs - Ensure jobs that should be enabled for the repository are set to active. The jobs in
the following table may need to be enabled via Documentum Administrator. Steps to enable are:

Navigate to Administration | Job Management | Jobs

Right-click each of the jobs, open its properties and change state

Jobs
dm_DMClean
dm_DMFilescan
dm_FTCreateEvents
dm_FTIndexAgentBoo

If multiple FTI, SA or ICF directories are input through the UI, NetWorker could potentially return a
success code if any of the directories succeed, even if the backup of one or more directories fail. In
order to ensure NetWorker will return a failure code if any directories fail, please enable the "-u"
parameter for the appropriate backup type.
1. These parameters can be added to the end of the .properties file that corresponds to your
job, located in the [HB storage directory]/[hostname]_[port number]/[repository name]
directory. For example,
D:\CYA_HOTBackup\cyademo101_1489\demo\cya_hotbackup_documentum_system_full.pr

3. For example, if you enter multiple ICF directories in the HotBackup interface, add the
following line: DEVICE_ADDITIONAL_PARAMS_ICF=-u

When running HOTBackup in a mixed OS environment:


1. HOTBackup deployed on Windows, Documentum Content Server located on Unix/Linux:
a. If CS data folder is shared via NFS on another Unix/Linux server, the root user must
be granted access in the NFS server configuration
b. On Linux, edit "/etc/exports", and update the share folder to use no_root_squash
option as "<share folder> <CS host | CS IP | *>(rw, no_root_squash)"
c.

On Solaris, edit "/etc/dfs/dfstab", and update the share folder to use root option as
"share -F nfs -o rw,root=<CS host1>:<CS host2> <share folder>"

2. HOTBackup deployed on Unix/Linux, Documentum Content Server located on Windows:


a. To specify FTI and ICF directories in HOTBackup job configuration, use forward
slash (i.e. c:/xPlore/data) or double backslash (i.e. c:\\Documentum\\config)

NetBackup: backup Network Drive or UNC path (from NetBackup Admin Guide):
o The network drives must be available to the service account that the NetBackup Client service
logs into at startup. By default, the startup account is set to System. You must change this
account on each Windows client that is backed up that contains data that is shared from another
computer.

If you wish to back up the database to a Network Drive or UNC path, you MUST start the HOTBackup
client service with a user that has read and write access permissions to the remote server.

HOTBackup jobs fail when Policy Storage is not set


o When Policy Storage in HOTBackup job is not set, at least one Storage Unit must not be On
Demand Only.
o To disable On Demand Only, open NetBackup Administrator console, go to NetBackup
Management > Storage > Storage Units, double click on one storage unit, and uncheck "On
Demand Only".

Known Issues

If the NetBackup job fails during the first run of the CYA HOTBackup job, NetBackup will remain in
the "Wait for Retry" job state, and the CYA HOTBackup job will hang.
o To cancel the NetBackup job, open the NetBackup Administrator Console, go to Activity
Monitor, and cancel the NetBackup job that is in the "Wait for Retry" state.

When HOTBackup is deployed on a separate server from the Content Server, if the Content Server is
running UNIX, HOTBackup uses the current login user (user id) or root user of the HOTBackup server
to login to the CS/DB/FTI servers.
o You must create a user on the HOTBackup Server with same username and user id of the
DM Installation Owner on the Content Server.
o Login to HOTBackup server using user created in last step to start the Tomcat Service.
o Due to permission settings on the files created by RMAN, the root user must be added into
the Oracle users group as a supplementary group. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Login to the DB server as root user
2. Edit /etc/group, and add root user to Oracle users group as supplementary group, i.e.:
oinstall:x:500:root
3. Logout and login to DB server again
4. Restart Networker service:
o nsr_shutdown
o /etc/init.d/networker start

With FTI backup in the script mode, xPlore 1.3 always returns exit code 0 which results in CYA
HOTBackup jobs to report successful even though the backup was failed. This is due to a new line
added in the xPlore 1.3 xplore.sh/xplore.bat file. To workaround remove the last line "cd $EXE_DIR"
from the xPlore 1.3 xplore.sh/xplore.bat file. In the native mode CYA HOTBackup jobs report
correctly.

After restoring xPlore 1.1 from a warm file backup, document search fails with error
"LUCENE_SNAP_SHOT_TOO_OLD_ERROR: entry name=LI-e229e15b-66c0-47fd-b236707cb3bf22fb Snapshot too old, entry was merged"
o This is a bug in xPlore 1.1 and the solution is to apply the Patch 01 to resolve this issue.

In some cases, if a Windows command contained within an unquiesce script fails, Windows may
reset the error code returned by the command to 0, causing HOTBackup to report success. In these
cases, the original return code and error will be shown in the LOG files for the job.

In environments with multiple xPlore servers, you cannot mix a cold file backup on one with a warm
file or hot backup on any others. For cold file backups, you have to specify multiple FTI client names
separated by commas, to ensure the scripts run on all the servers. For warm file or hot backup, you
may only specify the primary server in FTI client name, because the scripts only can be run on the
primary server.

If you are using Tivoli and wish to specify an options the options file must be placed in the same
directory on each server to be backed up. This location must match what is specified in the Backup
System Settings for the specific job. As an alternative, you can place the options file in the CYA
HOTBackup Client home location. You should then specify only the file name in Backup System
Settings instead of the full path.

If you are using Avamar and wish to specify a flag file the flag file must be placed in the same
directory on each server to be backed up. This location must match what is specified in the Backup
System Settings for the specific job. As an alternative, you can place the flag file in the CYA

HOTBackup Client home location. You should then specify only the file name in Backup System
Settings instead of the full path.

Avamar has a 48 character maximum limitation for a backup label name. The label name created by
CYA HOTBackup may be truncated depending on the repository name length and the scope of the
operation being performed. If a label is truncated a warning will appear in the job log file as below:
avtar Warning <7374>: Flag --label="CYAHB_db7061_FTI_db7061_ftindex_01:2014-0416_10:45:13" (54 characters) exceeds maximum length of 48, truncated.

Glossary
This Guide uses some terms that are specific to Documentum or to traditional backup software. Weve
tried to define any potentially confusing terms here.
Connection Broker: The Connection Broker is a Documentum construct that handles communication
with the repositories. It was previously called the docbroker.
Repository: This is the term for the broadest Documentum organizational structure for containing data. It
was formerly called the docbase.
FTI: The Full Text Index server is responsible for indexing all content files for searchability. This is a
Documentum server, and can either be running the older FAST search engine or the newer xPlore search
engine software technologies.
FAST Older FTI Search Engine; will not be supported after December 31, 2011.
xPlore - Latest FTI Search Engine; replaces FAST.
Data Volume (NetWorker): This is a NetWorker organizational concept. Settings can be configured at
the Data Volume level on the NetWorker server.
Group Name (NetWorker): This is a NetWorker organizational concept. Settings can be configured at the
Group level on the NetWorker server.
Content Server: This is the main software server for Documentum. The content files reside on this
server, and there can be multiple Content Servers in a single environment. Typically, the Documentum
server software resides on the Content Server.
Storage Area: This is the term referring to the location of the content files on the Documentum Content
Server(s).
ICF: Installation & Configuration Files.
Policy Storage (NetBackup): This is a NetBackup organizational concept. Settings can be configured at
storage unit, storage lifecycle policy or storage unit group on the NetBackup server.
Policy Volume Pool (NetBackup): This is a NetBackup organizational concept. Settings can be
configured at Media/Volume Pools on the NetBackup server.
NDMP: The Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) allows more efficient backups to be taken from
NAS devices that support this protocol by streaming the data to be backed up directly from the NAS
device to the backup server, instead of streaming it through an intermediate machine with a backup client
installed.
RMI: RMI stands for Remote Method Invocation. It is the Java API utilized by CYA HOTBackup for
communication between the Server and Client(s).

Sample Scripts
Sample scripts are provided for database backups, FTI quiesce operations, and FTI unquiesce
operations. A sample script is provided for all supported combinations of FTI servers, DB applications,
versions, backup software/versions and operating systems.
The sample scripts are located in [CYA_Deployment_Dir]/WEB-INF/samples, where
[CYA_Deployment_Dir] is the location where the CYA HOTBackup application was deployed into the
Application Server, i.e. on windows, D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
6.0\webapps\cyahotbackup
