just curious -- did you upgrade the oracle agent as well as the client
piece. Unless you're on windows, it's a separate package that needs to
be applied and must be the same version as the version of the client
on the box. (most common cause of problem after upgrading that i've

I am trying to get daily backups going on a standalone drive using nbu
datacenter 4.5 fp3.
After wading through the toils and troubles of getting ndmp backups to work
with a netapp I'm stuck at the last step: I want to have a volume pool of
say 10 tapes and have the standalone drive back up to
I received a number of similar answers, and unfortunately it's not the volume pool, all the tapes are in the same pool, there's only one pool. However, I have another possibility: Will netbackup throw the 96 error if there isn't enough room to write the backup completely? It seems that even t

That one is using a direct SCSI attached RAID array. No problems

Hi Geoff,
The most likely reason is that some data sets are more compressible
than others. If you have one server or backup job that is mostly Picture, music
or movie files and another that has plain text or DB files, the tape with the
Pictures will have less data on it because the JPG

Compression.

The difference you see is probably due to varying compressibility of
data. It's also possible that failed or expired backup images take up
space that couldn't be reused.

Do you know what the DLL is that is "gone"? I've had similar failures

I know it's a vxvm

On one of my

bpfis.exe is used by VSP. I have an issue where a DLL used by bpfis is "gone"
and bpfis is causing backups of the system state to fail on a W2K server.

I have this all the time on my busy system. It'll often clean up when the
entire running job queue is empty & then the scheduler seems to cleanup
these strays.
If it doesn't cleanup then, I get rid of them by bouncing my master server
processes.
Usually getting an idle period is enough to clean

14 of the FRAG lines of bpimagelist is the DWO, Device Written On, field.
It'll tell you the drive index number on that media server (field 10) for

backup image to span tapes and, therefore, use more than one more
What you say is definitely true.
If you want a better predictor, I suppose you could script a sliding window

I get these a lot. One thing I found
that caused it was, our Linux media server was set to only use 4 drives
concurrently and all other media servers were set to 8 (total # of

the Linux Media server became the SCAN_HOS

there any way to tell which drive was used by a policy after completion? I

I run 5.1 MP4 and if you are talking about the "Kilobytes"
column in the Activity Monitor and Job Detail those never seem to be
right. You are better off using the CLI to get accurate
numbers.

We have upgraded our netware clients to NetBackup 5.1 MP4 in line with the master and media servers and the estimated kilobytes looks a bit strange
3454716731025207608 = 3014 exabytes
Anyone else seen this in the GUI ?

Seem
something VERY similar, and currently suffering now, but rebooting the robot and
/ or tape drives sorts it for about 2 weeks and then it
re-appears.
It
could well be hardware or connectivity issue - check fibre cables perhaps. Is it
always this one drive failing,
I've seen this on HP-UX. We have fibre bridges going to the SCSI drives and
usually booting the fibre bridge and power cycling the drive takes care of it.
In fact just power cycling the drive has taken care of it on a couple of
occasions.

Hello Paul
I have seen this before, in our case it was usually a problem with the drive
or SAN-connection.
I would offline/online the port in the SAN switch and recreate the device
file for this drive. Then use robtest mount/dismount a tape in the drive.
