Tranzman Recorder Overview & Usage
The Tranzman Recorder is a FREE tool designed to create a data snapshot of the origin or destination backup environments involved in a migration.
It gathers information from backup environments for initial assessment and migration purposes.
Additionally, it serves as a virtual agent for migrations and recoveries.
Download: Tranzman Recorder or request via email: TZM support
Recorder Usage: UNIX/Linux
-
Download and Extract
Download the recorder binary onto the backup servers involved in the migration.
Ensure at least 2GB of free space on the filesystem.
Extract using:> tar xzf tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz If tar does not support z:
> gunzip tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz > tar xf tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz -
Update Permissions
> chmod +xr -R tzm_recorder -
Execute the Recorder
> cd tzm_recorder > ./tzm_recorder INFO | Tool build date Thu Apr 6 21:45:03 2023 INFO | START - Gathering environment information INFO | Retrieving process list
Recorder Usage: Windows
-
Download and Extract
Download the Windows binary zip file and extract the contents.
Ensure at least 2GB of free space on the extracted filesystem.
Right-click the zip file and select "Extract." -
Execute the Recorder
Open a CMD prompt, navigate to the extracted directory, and run:# tzm_recorder.exe
The CMD prompt should be started as Run as Administrator or with an account that has Administrator rights.
Recorder Usage: NetBackup CloudScale
-
Copy Recorder Binary
Securely Copy the recorder binary from the machine to CloudScale Terraform management server (TMS or tms):> scp tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz <user>@<cloudscale-tms-ip>:/tmp -
Access the Environment
Log in to the Kubernetes cluster or CloudScale Terraform management server:> ssh <admin>@<cloudscale-tms-ip> -
Identify Target Pod
List the pods in the target namespace to identify where to deploy the recorder: The primary server pod will end with “-primary-0” and the namespace will be “netbackup”> kubectl get pods -n netbackup -
Transfer to Pod
Copy the Recorder from CloudScale to the primary server pod:> kubectl cp tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz <namespace>/<pod-name>:/tmp/ -
Extract and Prepare
Login to the primary server pod and extract the recorder:> kubectl exec -it <pod-name> -n <namespace> -- /bin/bash > cd /tmp > tar -xzf tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz > cd tzm_recorder -
Run the Recorder
Set the executable permission and execute the recorder inside the pod. Execute “./tzm_recorder -setup_nbat” to authenticate NBAT for successful authentication with NetBackup. You’ll be prompted for the following information. Initial user name and password can be found in the azure/deployment TFVARS files used to deploy the CloudScale cluster.> chmod +x ./tzm_recorder > ./tzm_recorder -setup_nbat Please enter the type (NIS, NISPLUS, WINDOWS, vx, unixpwd, ldap) > unixpwd #This will always be unixpwd Please enter the broker > PRIMARY_FQDN Please enter the login username > USERNAME Please enter the password for adpadmin > PASSWORD This will create a file /tmp/tzm_recorder/nbat_info.txt
Now execute the tzm recorder to start the data collection process
> ./tzm_recorder INFO | START - Gathering environment information INFO | Retrieving process list Once the tzm_recorder completes, log out of the primary pod to get back to the shell on the Terraform management server. Execute the following command to copy the TZM recording file back to the local directory
> kubectl cp <namespace>/<pod-name>:/tmp/tzm_recorder/<TZM_RECORDING.ZIP> ./<TZM_RECORDING.ZIP>
Ensure the pod has sufficient free space (≥2GB) before extraction and execution.
Data Anonymization
By default, tzm_recorder generates an output file as a zip. To anonymize data, either extract manually or run with the -no_zip option:
| > tzm_recorder -no_zip |
