RE: [Veritas-bu] No No No ! What Have You Done With My Tapes NBU 5.1
Title: Message Simon: A few things to go through... 1.) Run vmqueury -m bar_code on one of the tapes that you have questions about. See what the volume database reports back. 2.) Check your retention levels for the respective policies to see how long the images are considered valid. 3.) Check any barcode rules on the robot (for injects and ejects) to see if anyone has set something up that might cause the issue you are having. 4.) If you are using a script to manage the ejects go through the script closely to see if vmdeletes or something. That is all I have off the top of the head...

What Have You Done With My Tapes NBU 5.1 I am in a little shock, so hoping someone can help explain this mystery! I ejected approx 30 tapes from NBU 5.1 MP2 on 2003 Server. The tapes were from varied volume pools. The eject process completed successfully, I stored the tapes in a safe, and replaced them with either new tapes or expired Media Tapes. Weekend came and backups ran - some still going, but its working! I just decided to see what was in the scratch pool, and by luke I happened to check some of the volume pools where I removed Media from them on Friday, only to discover there is no record of the tapes. By record I mean, the Volume Pool would show an entry for the tape, even though its not in the robot. Decided to check the other pools, and to my horror, there are no entries for these tapes!!! Starting to worry now, because I wonder what on earth has happened. I have noticed the SCRATCH pool is showing ALOT of Media ID's!!!
