[Veritas-bu] NBU 6 and changing Linux host name
Hopefully I've explained this as clearly as possible.. We've got 2Linux servers (let's call them Linux1 and Linux2). Linux1 is now to be called Linux 2 and vice versa. Linux 2 is a client (a SAN media server; i.e. it has a storage unit) in Netbackup 6. Once I've made the changes in DNS, as far as the network is concerned, the 2 have been swapped (i.e. the client that was called Linux2 is now called Linux1). Netbackup is now showing the (in DevicesHosts) the host Linux2.domain is showing up as offline. I can backup across the LAN (i.e. using the storage unit of the Master) but obviously, as the hosts device is now offline, it can't use this device. How do I rectify this? Is it as easy as removing Linux2.domain, running the wizard and adding it again? The device wizard isn't finding Linux1.domain but perhaps that because it's already configured in there as Linux2.domain? Cheers, - Tim Wilkinson I.T.

I've tried deactivating then activating, but this hasn't resolved the issue so I might create a new policy (with the same name) and delete the old one. If I do this, will Incrementals carry on from the last or Full backup on the previous policy or does it all start again as it is a new policy (both polices will be exactly the same)?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Troubleshooting Guide Question
Jason If it was me in this position (and it isnt!) I would enable BPBKAR and BPBRM logging and where possible find out what the client is doing when performing the backup! I do not know your network environment or your OS, but if I assume the client is Windows, turn off any VSP/VSS open file agents, disk I/O or any AV and retry again. In activity monitor, note the date / time the backup failed and compare this with the BPBKAR logs to determine where the cause / process is causing the problem. Check disk space too. Finally - ensure Network connections and speeds are correct and set for the maximum throughput. This is common for issues like connection reset by host or client.

But if you want to enable some of the new features you have to get a new license. (this wasnt needed for any upgrade till now) That means that if you dont have support and you find the media you can go to next version or any version.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Duplicates in bpmedialist.
Are you saying you have two media with the same barcode label? Nope (at least I don't think so). I believe there is one media and it had been allocated by different media servers at different times (at some point in the past). (Maybe someone deassigned it instead of expiring it?) I've had that problem in the past with SDLT tapes. I just ran the mediacontents report on each tape. You can't have them both in the robot at the same time. I always found that one of them didn't have any images on it. I took the empty tape label off, threw it away, and put a new label on it. Even before you did that, did you have two 'bpemdialist' entries? That's the bit I need to correct. One of them believes it is an empty, frozen tape. The other thinks it is a normal, full tape. I want to tell the one that thinks it's empty and frozen to get rid of it's information. Interesting is that if I do 'bpmedialist -m volume' I only get one entry. If I do 'bpmedialist | grep ^volume', I see it twice. I think in the first case after it finds an entry on one media server it stops looking. # bpmedialist -l | grep ^0151L2 0151L2 *NULL* 1 14 1099888658 1100061437 2147483647 1118707970 308609962 15 15 24 8 3 552 1024 0 1054426 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0151L2 *NULL* 1 14 1078041614 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 5 0 17 1024 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 # status = 17 = 0x11.

[Veritas-bu] new client is getting connection refused on 5.1
I recently upgraded our master server to netbackup 5.1mp5 on solaris. We moved a client to new hardware and instead of moving over the netbackup stuff we installed 5.1 client. Backups fail, and i can't look at client properties in jnbSA because it times out. The firewall is open and both boxes can talk to each other on port 13782. This client gets a quick connection refused from the master server when trying to telnet to the master on port 13782 but the firewall is open and there aren't tcp wrappers involved.
