I ran into the same problem after a "Oracle DBA" tried to work his magic. Come to find out he had removed the /usr/lib/sparcv9 directory. Hope this helps point you in the right direction. BK

Jared71, Are you using disk 1 of 2 or are you using the web start cd? You should be able to skip the web start cd and go to disk 1. This should give you the option to upgrade your systems. A good backup is always important before you upgrade. :-) BK

Mingx98, Have you added a /etc/resolv.conf file? Have you modified your nsswitch.conf file to use dns instead of files or nis? BK

Yes the systems is backup and running without any problems. fsck did not sort out my problems. If it was not for the second boot disk I think I might have had to jumpstart the system. The cost of the second boot disk, in this case, was well worth the $$. Thanks again. BK

mseamans, On the UNIX side you can go to your client and run the save command. This should try to establish a connection to your backup server and start a save session. The other command that we are able to use from the command line on the backup server is savegrp which can run in a probe...

JG, Have you looked at the /kernel/drv/st.conf file? Were you using the dlt8000 drives before the upgrade? We are in the process of testing an E6500 with a ADIC scalar 1000. The fibre cards are giving us a problem. Sounds like a communication problem between the jukebox and legato. Do you...

gazza1969, I beg to differ. I could be wrong but myself and the rest of our backup team sat down to discuss this problem that StefanS is having and we think that you can run scanner to rebuild the media information. You might be able to use the mt command to skip over the lable and then try...

StefanS, I am thinking scanner is your friend. Scanner reads NetWorker media to confirm the contents of a volume, to extract a save set or rebuild the NetWorker online indexes. BK

Patetta, If you are looking to restore an Oracle database you need to make sure that the backup you are trying to restore was 1) a cold full backup, or 2) you backup the database hot but use scripts to put the files in a quiescent mode. If you can not recover from a Legato backup one might...

Jon, I am thinking that you might be able to turn off auto cleaning. On a unix box you can do this by going to media, jukebox and select 'no' for auto clean. This might get you around the cleaning tape problem for now. BK

Steve, If you are using 6.1 you might run into some problems. We were told to not use the 6.1 cd and use the 6.0.1 cd instead. Also, are you running this on an NT or UNIX box. BK

Jon, On the mminfo command make sure you spell DEFAULT the same way it is setup in Legato, Default. BK

Jon, Is this an NT box or UNIX? What type of drives? I am not sure how many tapes your jukebox holds but I would run the following command to find out which tape has the oldest access time. mminfo -av -r 'volume,volaccess,location' -q 'location=YOURJUKEBOXNAME,volaccess <...

funston, I am not familiar with solaris on the intel platform but I think you can run 'ifconfig hme1 plumb'. If the card is an hme card. After you plumb the card the first time you should be able to see it using ifconfig -a. Let me know if this works. Thanks, BK

news2me, Have you checked the /etc/vold.conf file to see that you still have one? I am not thinking you should have a /cdrom dir if you do not have a cdrom in the drive. You might want to remove any media you have in the cdrom, remove the cdrom dir and reboot -- -r. The '-- -r' will pass...
