I tried to do a restore from the master/media server for a file server. The restore hung at the mounting tape section so I ended it via activity monitor. Now, when I go to view status, it shows the restore as "In Progress" although it's been ended in activity monitor for over 15...
I've got 2 questions. 1) I'm on a Win2k machine w/ LTO1 tapes/drives, and I'd like to know if I can clear a catalog tape (that was used w/ vault) so I can put it into rotation with the other 'regular' backup tapes since i'm running low and the tape has expired. The bpexpdate command doesn't...
Comtech17, (or anyone else that knows)
Is there any way I can vault data on the remote media server via the master? I've got the media server setup, (its got a robot physically attached via scsi), but I keep getting "Unable to obtain the robotic information for this robot. vault may not...
Situation:
I have a master server on my site and I'd like to set up a media server in another city. I'm running NB Datacentre 4.5. on windows platform. Me and my sister company has twin IBM 3583 IBM Ultrium librarys w/ 2 drives each. My master is connected via scsi directly to the library. My...
use the bpexpdate command to expire images
To expire all images on a tape bpexpdate -m <media_id> -d 0
For specific images you'll use
bpexpdate -backupid <backupid> "this is found on the Images on Media report" -d <date>.
You can type bpexpdate on a command line and it will give...
Situation:
I would like to have vault run automatically after the last backup of the night is complete (rather than rely on users to run it manually). The last backup is natuarally a catalog backup. I think I can do this with the vltrun command, but I have no idea on how to transfer this to a...
1st, thanks for your response!
But this brings up other questions: I tried this last night, but my throughput was dropped down from 14kb/s to 8 or 9kb/s. Is this because I'm trying to backup data on the same drive of the server (drive e:\data and c:\ & e:\"EVERYTHING ELSE") at the...
...the E: stream takes forever.
My E: drive has a folder we'll call Data. I want that to be 1 stream, and everything else (all other folders on E: *and* the C: drive) on another stream, basically splitting the data load. Is there any way to do it other than manually naming EVERY other...
I think this is probably an easy fix but I've found nothing in terms of help from the admin guides. I'm simply trying to print (via vault) to a remote printer. On the 'reports' tab near the bottom on the 'print command line' I'm typingc:\winnt\system32\print.exe...
Thanks for your help pgphantom. I was able to figure out what the exact problem was. With the vmquery command i was using 1 0, and was informed that it should be 1 1 for the volume pool and location. Don't really know why it worked but for those couple of tapes, it did.
Below is the command I'm running from the Master/Media server console, and the message that I'm receiving.
KHEFRKSRV005 is the Master/Media server name
C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Volmgr\bin>vmquery -deassignbyid 000000 1 0
Could not deassign media ID 000000: volume is already assigned (93)
When using bpmedia commands I keep getting the msg "requested media id was not found in NB media database and/or MM volume database"
That is what's making me think that my databases might be out of sync. Unfortunately if this is the case I have no idea how to re sync them.
Any...
I found out that I had a SCSI card problem which was slowing down the data transfer. So I 'think' that problem's fixed, the speed of all backups are back to normal. I still however need to know if there's a way to delete these old tape listings out of Netbackup.
One more update:
I've noticed that recently all backup throughput has been slowed to at, or about 1kb/s. I don't know if this is related to the problem above or not but the throughput is that slow for every server we have. All buffers look normal.
This is my only media server (set up as media master). Netbackup is now recognizing (at least according to the media lists)the 1st 6 characters as the media id and the entire 8 character label as the barcode. But I haven't got a sucessful catalog backup since last week because it keeps trying...
