[Veritas-bu] How to freeze an unassigned tape
Hi, I have a set of tapes that contain an important backup. The backup has expired, but the tapes haven't been over-written, and I intend to "bpimport" them at a future time. In the meantime I want to freeze the tapes, but trying to freeze an unassigned tape produces the message "requested media id was not found in NB media database and/or MM volume database". I thought I could assign the tapes with "vmquery -assignbyid " and then do the freeze, but although the tapes get assigned (status 0 in "vmquery") they still can't be frozen. Any suggestions? (Solaris 5.9, NetBackup 5.1MP6, one master/media server, three further media servers all sharing the same drives with SSO). Many thanks, Tim Lane.

[Veritas-bu] bpdbjobs displays month number only in date fields
Hi, I have recently upgraded a number of Solaris-based NetBackup installations to version 5.1MP6. Subsequent to the upgrades, the "Started" and "Ended" columns of the "bpdbjobs" output display the month number only. # grep BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS bp.conf BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = JOBID BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = STARTED BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = ELAPSED BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = ENDED # bpdbjobs | head JobID Start Elapsed Ended 2646904 000:09:2304 2646804 000:05:0604 2646704 002:09:2004 2646604 000:04:0304 2646504 000:08:0104 2646404 000:03:5504 2646304 001:05:4804 2646204 001:03:4504 2646104 001:00:5904 Has anybody seen (and fixed) these symptoms?
