[Veritas-bu] Scratch carts
Hi, We have Netbackup 5.1 on Solaris in our setup, until last week the consumption of Scratch carts was pretty normal but its eating carts like anything now. We have not added anything extra. As I am newbie to this stuff I am not able to figure out the reason. Is there any way to know if Netbackup is expiring images or not. Maybe this is happenning because NB is not expiring images. I have no clue, what to look for and where to look for. Looking forward to your reply on this.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Scratch carts
Hi, Check for frozen tapes, run bpmedialist output and show us the output. Also check for daily backup size, is it increasing exponentially? Are there some clients that have increased growth? Justin.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Drive utilisation in Netbackup
Hi Michael, Funny you ask, I am looking at the same task. It has been suggested in the list in the past, to run; vmoprcmd -d ds To check for AVR,TLD (or whether a tape is in the drive). The problem here though is you would have to sample often on each media server. Anyone else have any suggestions on this one? Justin.

Hm, also a good idea; however, difficult if one has different library models/that may or may not report statistics in the same manner, good idea though if it applies to your environment. Justin.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Live Update Questions
Hi Karl- For 6.5 GA installs of LiveUpdate: Unix: it's on the 6.5 Options CD, you need to install it separately. Windows: as you note, it's part of the default install. And yes, the 6.5.4 patch release includes some liveupdate fixes, that's what's in the NB_LUA_6.5.4_326410.tar tarball.
