Re: [Veritas-bu] 6.5.2A media server with 6.5.1 master server
We had a simular issue after the 6.5.2A patch install. No backups would start. Tho' we put the patch on master and server. Support referenced tech-note: http://support.veritas.com/docs/307105 Support had me remove obsolete clients in /usr/openv/netbackup/db/client I had 48 clients no longer in active backup policies. After cleaning that out and bouncing the services, backups kicked off. Had a couple little side issues with the devices, but not related to the patch. hope that helps. jann > I had to backout of 6.5.2A as PEM service would not start.

[Veritas-bu] Need ideas for doing restore from previous media
I have a problem that I'm having difficulty wrapping my brain around and was hoping someone could give me some ideas. So, here's the situation. I have a master server and a SAN media server currently active. Neither one of these systems have openings for additional hardware. I have a SL500 tape library with 4 LTO3 tape drives - both the master and SAN server share those drives. All is well there. Our sDLT tape drive was upgraded to the 4th LTO3 drive in that library about a year ago, and we no longer have a sDLT drive in the mix (at the moment). I have a restore request from a tape about 4 years old. It's a sDLT tape that was written by the SAN media server host. I have a spare SAN media server license and I have 2 more tape drive licenses not in use. So, legally I have the license issue covered. If I take a host, add a stand alone sDLT tape drive (SCSI attached). Give that host the other SAN license and the tape drive license, do you think I can do the restore from this other host? I'm thinking I can use bpmedia to move that tape from the backup source to the new SAN media server. I might have to move the data after it's restored, but the biggest obstacle now is getting it off tape. The sDLT standalone drive will not be on the SAN. Nor will the host - this is where my brain gets crossed. Will the SAN media server license work to restore sDLT tapes on a standalone drive when they are not on a SAN? Any hints, tips, or ideas are most greatly appreciated. Thanks... jann ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Re: [Veritas-bu] Need ideas for doing restore from previous media
Thank you for your input. I wasn't sure about the SAN license requirements, tho' I am fairly certain that I will have to restore to this new SAN server and move the data. The command bpmedia -movedb has the option to move just individual tapes to a different server.. Not sure if the FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER will be necessary, but if plan A, B, or C don't work, I will try it;-) Now I have to remember all the steps to building a SAN server.. My last experience was when we upgraded from 5.4 to 6.5 (I think - can't remember if we stepped through 6.0). so, here goes. Thanks again.. jann > > You don't need the tape license since standalone is free.
