Re: [Veritas-bu] Veritas-bu Digest, Vol 53, Issue 27
If you want to recycle part of a tape cartridge, I would say try Tivoli storage manager. It has tape reclaimation process which consolidate partially full tapes in single tape. I love this on TSM side. Otherwise turn off Allow multiple retentions per tape Good luck ..

I understand that in the short term this might reduce an initial tape purchase, but in the long term, you probably end up buying more tapes because the ones you are using contain 50% (or more) expired images, and at least one image that has not expired. Since it is very complex to try to recycle part of a tape cartridge, I don't think any vendor does it. You have two basic options here: 1. turn of Allow multiple retentions per tape an create separate tape pools for policies with different retentions to pull from 2. Suspend the tapes from each backup session until all the images have expired.

I picked a box at random, logged in, fired up the bp.conf file in vi and added 'SERVER = servername', saved and exited. In my experience, that does work, without restarting anything on the client. I've used cfengine to push out a consistent server list to a bunch of unix clients, for example. I haven't tested this since upgrading to 7.0 though. When I try to connect to the client from my new master server, I get a status code 59 that the new master isn't allowed to talk to the client. From what I've seen, that's often related to reverse DNS. The client gets a connection from some IP, and tries to resolve it into a hostname before checking the server list (as opposed to going the other way around and forward-resolving all the hostnames on the server list). You can list IPs in the server list in case name resolution is completely broken on the client. +-- |This was sent by r...@ua.edu via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- Message: 3 Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2010 18:24:59 -0400 From: mitch808 netbackup-fo...@backupcentral.com Subject:
