Hi,
Anyone using vmchange to eject tapes?
I'm using the command below, it manage to eject the tapes BUT the command didnt
end properly as the command spawn another tldcd process but didnt go off after
eject. I can only kill that spawned process in order to do a tape inventory.
Anyone know
I was experimenting with that as well, but saw some strange behaviour so I
shelved it for now. I guess mine was doing the same thing, I just didn't
have time to analyze it. If you hear of any successes I would love to hear
of them as well. I'm running NBU 6.5.1, how about you?

I am not sure its supported for 5.1 afraid :( In fact it may only be
supported on 6.5

I'm using this command under 6.5.1:
vmchange -e -sec 1 -res -m $MEDIAID -mt $TYPE -rt tld -rn $LIBR -rh
MASTERSERVER -v $GRP -rc1 $SLOT
Been using something pretty much like that since the 3.4 days.
I've noticed since our upgrade to 6.5 that while we do get the
occasional individual non-zero status email for individual backups we're
obviously not getting them all.
We are getting the daily full status report and as noted do get some of
the individual ones but I don't see a pattern to what
Unfortunately, Symantec isn't listening to anyone any more. We own and
purchase a LOT of Netbackup, Legato, and Backup Express and we pushed
all the way through our Netbackup Sales Rep and support rep about the
lack of tech support response as well as how poor their website is to
navigate to find
Hi,
usr the bpflist commnd.
you can use it with the backupid.
the output is like bplist
bpflist: [-l | -L | -U] [-v]
[-M master_server...]
[-d mm/dd/ HH:MM:SS][-e mm/dd/ HH:MM:SS]
[-ut unixtime for start and end date]
[-st sched_type]
[-policy policy_name][-client
I definitely think your sales team should be giving you some sort of
response to this. But its not like Symantec isn't listening. We know
from posts here (and I actually got a phone call once) that they are
making changes where they can to accommodate us. However, this public
FTP thing has got
I'm still using NBU6.0, upgrading to 6.5.2 soon
So you command below

You are ejecting one tape at a time i'm i right? If that is so, you need to do
a vmquery to find the mediaid slot no before
When Symantec first changed their support site I complained too.

Or get rid of the FTP and move onto something like SCP/SFTP or even
RSYNC that both requires users to login with assigned accounts AND
encrypts their precious software so they don't have the risk of download

However, I personally don't buy this argument. There are
I take it the reports-media logs is what you want either? Filter on

Scott, I think you missed the point of my question. You just told me how to
find the output of bpmedialist in the GUI (which I knew, and also don't care
about).
I know which tapes are frozen
You just described the GUI way to do what I've already done, which was
use grep(1) on the bptm logs.
Just for giggles, I did try it, and I find the same absence of
notification for the freezing of these volsers.
At this point it's an academic question for me, as I've tracked down the
logs of
we also use the -w option.
also, does your master server control the robotic arm? -rh is the
robot_control_host, which we put as the media server that controls
the robotic arm.

The hacker argument? PUHLEEZE. The hacker/theft is far more determined

Hey guys
I am receiving a Network Connection time out (41) on a consistent basis when I
run a backup on two of our servers. The servers are behind a DMZ but I have set
the BPCD connect-back to use the VNETD port and it worked for a long time but
now all I receive are 41 errors. The servers do
I'm going to follow this thread with great interest. We've got the same
problem with a single backup client in our EBS. Funny thing is that a
user-initiated SQL backup runs just fine, but a master server initiated
backup fails with a RC = 41.
Standing by and reading with interest.
Thank
A while ago we saw similar issues with duplications, at least it was the

It was fixed by changing our TCP keepalive value on the media server.
Perhaps someone changed a timeout value on the firewall. Play with this

Just a couple shots in the dark. Could the issue be network congestion?
Many older firewalls can't keep up with the data transfer and start
doing bad things to packets. How about traffic shaping? Nothing like

Thanks guys, i think the -w option is what i needed. Without this, the NBU will
just eject the tape without proper end process of the tldcd.
Thanks alot for the contributions

Couple of pointers. You could write a shell or perl script to wrap up
the following commands pretty easily.
To get the list of files and sizes backed up in the last 24 hours for
a certain policy.
bpimagelist -hoursago 24 -policy POLICY NAME | grep '^IMAGE' | cut -d ' '
-f 6 | xargs -i
Almost willing to say its a 2 hour time out.
Been down this route, and actually founds some hidden settings in the
firewall that disabled the TCP connection after 2 hours backup
failed shortly after, normally 7 - 9 mins.
Anyhow, thats what happened here. Networks denied it... took a damn
