Antw: [Veritas-bu] Multiplexing / Streaming
Hi Simon It's seems right but you should still to enable in Attribute's policy -> "Allow multiple data streams" Regards, Jerome >>> "WEAVER, Simon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02.11.2005 12:37:02 >>> Hi can I have some opinions please? I am deeply concerned about backup speeds, and trying to get my head around streaming and multiplexing. I have 3 available tape drives and I have 2 policies that I intend to run tonight. I want both policies to use the available drives where possible. I have told NBU I have 5 drives available - 2 are offline at the moment, but 3 are readily there. The 1st policy will start at 6pm and contains 3 streams The 2nd Policy starts at 7pm and contains 3 streams. Both of the policies both state "Media Multiplexing" is set for 3 NBU Master Storage Unit is set for "Max Multiplexing per drive" is 6. Does this sound right or have I missed the point?

RE: Antw: RE: [Veritas-bu] Capturing bpmedialist's command output?
Hi Richard Are you sure? Here's the command in NBU 5.x bpmedia -help bpmedia: -freeze|-unfreeze|-suspend|-unsuspend -m [-h ] [-v] -movedb -m -newserver [-oldserver ] [-v] Regards, Jerome >>> "Richard Hellier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02.11.2005 11:39:56 >>> Jerome, Minor correction! Bpmedia takes the "-ev" flag to signify media not the "-m". I guess this is a useful distinction but it's a faff to have to keep in mind when writing scripts!

Hi Simon Do you have any idea about my question?? To unfrozen it : bpmedia -unfreeze -m To expire it (normal backup) : bpexpdate -m -d 0 To expire it (catalog backup) : vmquery -deassigned 1 0x1 Hope it helps! jm >>> "WEAVER, Simon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02.11.2005 10:53:25 >>> Hi If I have a media that is frozen and I want to expire it to make it available, do you happen to know the command line for this?

Hi I'm writing a shell script to know the tape's expiration date, like this: VARIABLE=$(bpmedialist -mlist -U -m $MEDIA_ID|tail +7|\awk '{print $2}'|sed '/^ *$/d') Output --> $VARIABLE=11/06/2005 Unfortunately, some tapes aren't in DB and produce no output in $VARIABLE BUT they send this message in STDOUT like follow : "requested media id was not found in NB media database and/or MM volume database" Which commands or functions can I use to capturing the STDOUT value?
